In he sandy deserts of the North.
where journeys are made SO much by
night the feeling of melancholy is often
found to prevail. on horseback or by
mail cart on the long, straight tracks
through the sand. one seems to be per-
petually following some star in the
heavens to which one gets no nearer
If one stops to rest, no sound falls upon
the ear save, perhaps. the groans Of a
camel being loaded for the night march
or the creak of Persian wheel raising
the water on the rivers brink
1t Is a relief to pass the strings of
camels bearing their rich burdens of
silk, asafetida and grapes from distant
Cabul to the Indian cities of the plains.
In a long string led by the bearded and
travel stained driver. who is well forti-
fed by opium for the weary and mount
ainous journey, they emerge suddenly
and silently, like phantoms from the
nocturnal gloom and gliding noiselessly
by. quickly disappear again.-The Gen
tleman's Magazine.

the houses in the vicinity of the restaurant.
The whole street was soon filled with u ri

OVARINE. .

The emotions in women are largely
Influenced by the ovaries, and the ovaries
are in turn decidedly influenced by the
emotions, Professor Skene, one of the
most distinguished authorities on Diseases
Of Women, states that grief, fear, anger,
and even great Joy are capable OF arrest
ing menstruation.
I'm order to maintain harmo-
"nious action OF the whole organization
lit is necessary that the ovaries shall
exist in full development and functional
activity. On the other hand, these
organs, which are essential to the we'll
being Of the individual, must, when
diseased, exercise potent influence in
"deranging the brain and nervous system"
These facts go to prove conclusively
that very large proportion OF the cases
Of insanity in women could have been
prevented by careful treatment of diseased
ovaries. 1t is also very probable that
many cases of insanity could be perfectly
cured by careful and systematic treatment
OF the diseased ovaries.
