A Laughing Disease.

From Austria comes curious account of man suffering from 8 nervous dis ease that manifests itself in paroxysms of laughter. The patient, whose case was described before the Psyohiatric and Neurological society of Vienna, was 30 years of age and had been subject for three years to fits of laughter, which occurred at first every two or three months, gradually increasing in fire. quency to dozen or more 8 day. The attacks occurred especially between in the evening and 6 80 in the morning, and in greatest frequency between 5 and 6:3O. Some occurred also during the day, however the patient happened to be occupied. In the intervals between the attacks and immediately before and afterward the man was perfectly We'll. The attacks set in with @ tickling sen- sation arising from the toes of the left foot, and the patient would fall to the ground unless he could reach some place to lie down. When this feeling reached the level of the left nipple, the patient lost consciousness for few sec- onds. Often the patient lay upon his face. The mouth and eyes were closed spasmodically, the eyeballs turned up- ward, the pupils were dilated and unre- sponS Ire t0 light At.the height of the attack the patient It first smiled, and them ughed aloud without other sign of n nenk Tho entire attack occu- pied bent two minutes.

 The Italians that are employed on the macadam road gave an impromptu con- cert on their way home from work last Saturday evening. The singing was much enjoyed by those who were fotunate enough to be present. They are possessed of magnificent voices, which blend per fectly, and their singing is something so entirely original and different from any thing heard in this section that it is a rare treat to hear them.
 The macadam road is growing, and growing fast, too. For the last few days they have completed from 15O to 175 feet of road each day. The quality of the road thus far completed is pronounced by those who are competent to judge, as much superior to that built last year The state inspector has paid the road al official visit and expressed his entire ap proval of the work thus far done.

A Story Which NewsoIne Believes Because
 Andera0n Is Cross Eyed.

Anderson Is Cross Eyed.
 J. E. Newsome is Port Arthur Ca nadian and Alex Anderson comes from Pearl River An Englishman named Atwell wanted to get bear, and An derson tried to gratify his desire. NeWsome told Forest and Stream about it. Atwell was the kind of man who would like to kill bear in a trap, so Anderson took two bear traps and lot of bait up gully near Ouimet, looking for sign. The Englishman went look ing for bears and left Anderson to set the traps.
 All of sudden a big she bear ap- peared before Anderson at the foot of a tree between a couple of whose roots one trap was to have been set. Not hav- ing any gun, Anderson, so Newsome says, determined that hypnotic force had to be used, and that suddenly. An derson looked the bear in the eyes, and the bear paused; then Anderson made three passes with his hands. The bear leaned its head forward and its eyes bulged out. Having satisfied himself that the bear was properly influenced, Anderson yelled for Atwell, but Atwell was good way off, and before he could arrive the she bear's 2-year-Old and yearling cub came out of the tree at the same time. A yearling cub alone would be pretty bad fighter at close quarters, especially with a hypnotized mother bear near by liable to come to at any moment, but 2-year-old cub and a yearling both at once made 8 mighty serious matter.
 ButAnderson was fully equal to the emergency. He managed to look at the bears four eyes at once and soCn had them subjugatcd. Newsome says that he would not Lave believed Anderson s tale only Anderson is now cross eyed, which he wasn't before, owing to hia lCCking both bcars ill tho eyes at once.
