The Ludicrous Predicament OF Guest -
Napoleon III.


Among the curious incidents OF the
court of Napoleon Ill recently
brought to light there is an amusing
one connected with the visit of An
Italian general. Prince Caprici. to the
imperial residence at Fontainbheau- 1t
was in summer. and the weather wac
extremely hot. The apartment occu-
pied oy the Italian general was directly
above the cabinet, or working noon,
of the emperor; and beneath the win
doYs of both rooms lay pond, its
waters washing the walls of the
palace.
The general had been taking a bath
IN a great tub brought il by servants
After his bath he leaned out of the win
dow. gazing az the pond below. There,
in the transparent waters he noticed

A curious case Of dual brain action
Is described in Brain. An insane pa-
tient varied considerably in his mental
condition. In one state he was subject
to chronic mania, spoke English. was
fairly intelligent, and was right-hand.
ed; in another state he was subject to
dementia, was almost unintelligible,
but what could be understood was
Welsh. and hc was then left-handed.
In his English intervals he remembered
clearly what had happened in previous
English periods, but his memory was
n blank to what occurred during the
Welsh stages. He preferred to write
with his right hand, but if asked to do
so, would write with his left hand, and
then the writing was from right to
left. Mr.. Bruce. who observed the
case, infers from 1t that the cerebral
hemispheres are capable of individual
mental action, that the one mentally
active at any time can control the mo-
tor functions, and that the patient lives

Trials OF Tourists.

There turned up at Hamilton, In the
Bermudas, the other day, a company of
several hundred British tourists, includ-
ing Sir Arthur Sullivan and many mu.
sical and literary folks Of some dis
tinction. They were a sorry and be-
draggled crowd. and their appearance
was partly explained by the fact that
they had left a six weeks washing
ashore at one of the far down islands
and had come away without II, so that
everybody was ut low ebb Of linen.
They were cheered with the hope that
the British cruiser Blake, whose cap
tain had promised to fetch up the miss.
ing garments, would soon arrive In the
harbor. This hope was disappointed,
for the excursonists left on schedule
time, a few hours before the arrival of
the Blake with their linen. Those that
saw them ut Hamilton are wondering
how they looked on reaching Great
Britain. "a
