HYPNoTIsM SAVES eoYs LIFE.
How an Ohio Lad Was Cured of bad
Attack of Nervousness.

How an Ohio Lad Was Cured of n Bad
Attack of Nervousness.
DR.. A. A. Thomen, of Columbus, o.,
who has been using hypnotism in his
practice for the relief Of patients suffer-
Ing from nervousness, has no doubt
saved the life of Robert Stickel, aged 10,
who was dying of fright.
Three weeks ago Robert witnessed a
severe surgical operation by a veter-
inary surgeon on his fathers arm, and
he fell into faint, from which restora-
tives failed to arouse him. During all
this time he has lain apparently in a
comatose condition, interrupted lately
by spasms.
DR.. Thomeu believed that the boy was
simply paralyzed with fear from the
discouraging remarks made by nurses
and friends as to his condition, all ex-
Pecting him to die at any moment.
He ordered everyone from the room
but one nurse, to whom he talked con-
tinually Of the boys condition, making
light Of his ailment, finally declaring
there was nothing the matter with him,
and that he would be able to walk about
the next day.
To the surprise Of his friends, the
boy was up and apparently well the
next day. lie now says that he could
hear all that was said In his presence,
and was so alarmed that he was afraid
to move lest he should die,

ENL-net speeIes Of PIants.

The number Of species Of plants
which have become extinct is very
large, and yet generic groups rarely
dieollt Comparativeresearches show
that much the greater proportion Of
plants whose remains have been pre-
served in a fossil condition from
earlier geologic periods belong to the
genera which are represented by
plants now living, although many Of
these existing plants differ specifcal-
" from the earlier ones. From this
It seems that new types are outgrow-

THE "WUNK" DOG,

Food.

It Is of a Species Raised in China for
Food.
There has always been a certain
amount Of doubt in exclusive circles
OF society concerning the desirability
OF Introducing choice bits of dog in
the menus Of great banquets, and the
same kind of meat has been generally
tabooed at afternoon teas and omitted
from the bills of fare Of swell restau-
rants. But that does not necessarily
mean that the meat of the noble com
ranion does not offer attractions as
an edible for many people. Hundreds
and even thousands Of people raise
as large families Of dogs as can be
found in the near vicinity Of the pow
erty-stricken darky's home for the
sole purpose Of eating the same when
the proper time arrives. True, these
people donot compose the representa-
tive elements of society, but such
delightful occupation commands a
certain amount Of respect.

The Mighty Amazon.

The Amazon is in every respect
but length the greatest river in the
world. At many points in its lower
course SO vast is its width that ono
shore is invisible from the other, the
observer seeming to look oCt into q
rolling sea of turbid water 1t has
over 400 tributaries, great and small,
which rise in so many different
climates that when one set is at food
height the others are at ebb, and
vice versa, SO that the bulk of the
great river remains unchanged the
whole year rouad.

WHERE DUELs WE'RE FOUGHT,


Tree On Famous Bloody Island Near
st, Louis CoiIapses.
An old landmark IN East ST. Louis
and one closely connected with the past
history of the once famous BLOODY Is
land has been destroyed. A large cot
tonwood tree which has stood at the
head Of the island probably 100years,
and about which many romances and
tales, true and false, have been written,
fell down the other day, the collapse be-
ing due to senile debility. 1t is said
that under the tree four famous duelg
were fought The first was between
Charles Lucas and Thomas II. Benton.
August II, 1917, in which Lucas was
wounded. The second took place Sep
tember 81, 1917, with the same prinoi-
pals, in which Lucas was killed. The
third was January 30, 1921, between
Thomas c. Rector and Joshua Barton,
in which Barton was killed. August
~, 1880, Thomas Biddle and Congress-
man Spencer Belts fought under its
boughs, and both received wounds from
which they died. In later years num-
Der of prize fights were fought there |
There are many people now living in |
East st. Louis, and St Louis, too, who
remember the tree and the old mill |
building which stood near it.

would have been thrown to the ground.

they do not soon forget.
