We had gone up III the great bay near
the head of the lake, when some boys
and dogs, rummaging around in the
woods along the shore, started deer
and chased it on to the ice, and we had
the most exciting chase Immediately
after that I ever took part in. We did
not harm the animal, and had we wished
to do so we couldn't, for there WASH t a
gun i'll the crowd, but we made him
make the effort of his life" before he
broke through the trocha we built
around him and got away. When we
sighted him, he was making straight
across the bay, which is five miles wide,
and the ice was so slippery that he could
not make anything like the usual time
of his kind when they throw their souls
into their heels and scatter miles behind
them with an easy Indifference most
beautiful to witness.
We played wolf on him Doc Spald-
ing, who was riding the ice bicycle,
shot straight ahead and very soon pass
ed him and forced him to turn, and
when he did turn there was a ring Of

he played with Us very much as four
legged seal might.
We got him running i'll circle, but
we were unable to catch him, for every
time any one tried it that venturesome
individual either failed to get a hold on
him, or, succeeding, was hurled as from
catapult along the ice, to the great
delight Of all the rest. 1t was the mer-
REST skating party ever witnessed, al
though the deer might not have seen
much matter for merri1nent in it,
But he was perfectly safe, unless his
wind played out be11nro ours did, of
which the event provec@ there was small
danger. One wing Of the circular trocha
we had formed in the line got out of
breath and slowed up, a gap was formed
in the line, and the deer went through
it like flash, and She last we saw of
him he was hull down" and going as
nerrily as if freshly started Mime

The Long Polar Night.

Generally speaking we figure Eu-
rope as being wholly within the
temperate zone, but when we come
to investigate matters we find that
North cape, the most northerly
point Of Norway, is in the shadow
of the north pole. At that point you
can see the midnight sun in all
his ghastliness, that great luminary
being constantly above the horizon
from May to Aug. 6, or just one
day over three months. But the long
wintry night makes up for this 100
days of constant sunshine. 1t begins
on Sept % and constantly increases
in length until Nov. s, when the
'polar night commences in ear
nest, the sun never appearing above
the horizon from the last mentioned
date until Feb. 5, one day less than
three months. st. Louis Republic

his Opportunity.
A story which IS not new is well told

Al story which is not new is well told
by George Car: Eagleston.
A large company had been invited to
a BANQUET at the mansion of Signor
Faliero i'll France, and just before the
uour the confeotioner, who had been
making large ornament for the table,
sent word that he had spoiled the piece.
IF yolt will let ME try, | think can
make something that will do, said q
boy who had been employed as a soul
lion.
Your exclaimed the head servant
in astonishment And who are you?'
Il am Antonio Canoya, the grandson
of Pisano, the stonecutter, replied the
pale faced little fellow.
And, pray, what can you dog ask
I'd the major domo.
Il can make you something that will
do for the middle of TIC table, if you'll
let me try. The servant was at his
wits end, so he told Antonio to so
ahead and see what he could do. Call
ing for some butter, the scullion quick
y nodded a large, orouching lion.
Dinner was announced, and many of
the most noted merchants, princes and
noblenen Of Venice We're ushered into
the dining room Among them We're
skilled critics of art work When their
ewes fell upon the butter lion, they-rec
ognized it as 4 work of genius They
examined it long and carefully and ask
ed Signor Faliero what great sculptor
had been persuaded to waste his skill
upon a work III such a temporary mate
rial
When the distinguished guests learn
ed that the lion had been made in Il
short time by a scullion, the dinner was
turned into feast in his honor. The
rich host declared that he would pay the
boys expenses under the best masters,
and he kept his word, but Antonio was
not spoiled by his good fortune. He re-
manned at heart the same simple, ear
nest, faithful boy who had tried so hard
to become a good stonecutter in the shop
OF Pisano
Some may not have heard how the
boy Antonio took advantage of this first
great opportunity, but all know Of Ca
nova, one of the greatest sculptors of all
time

CURING HALLuClNATIOM.
An Interesting Account of French Ply
sioian's Successful Method.

An Interesting Account Of French Ply
sioian's Successful Method.
| At a convention for the advance
ment Of psychic research in Paris
the famous Professor du Janet Of
Hayre described a certain case of
hallucination which came to his at
tention and narrated how the cure
was effected. Professor James, who
attended the convention, related the
story at meeting of the Boston So
ciety For Psychical Research. A
girl Rose by name, aged l9, had
come in despair to the hospitalwhere
Du Janet was in charge. She suf-
fered from periodical crises Of con-
vulsions, hysteria, delirium, chills,
etc, lasting many days. Afterward
she had no memory of the condi-
tions surrounding her. She had tried
mesmerism and hypnotisn, but in
vain. The expert decided to essay a
cure by plunging the girl into a
deeper hypnotic trance than she had
previously experienced. He made
passes over her for half an hour,
and then succeeded in passing her
cut Of the first into a secondary
trance, III which shewas an entirely
different being. In the first trance
she was apparently dumb. In the
second she was wide awake and
seemingly conscious
The symptoms of her hallucina-
ton were then seen with startling
clearness. Lying on the couch, the
subject told in semi-incoherent, yet
reasonably intelligent, language
how she saw before her an old and
decrepit woman thrown rudely
down and killed on the pavement.
The sight OF this tragedy filled the
poor girl with a demoniacal terror.
Again her symptoms showed her
shUddering and chattering with cold
from being immersed suddenly in
an ice cold bath-imaginary, of
course. These hallucinations she de
scribed both by word of mouth and
by gesticulation and convinced Du
Janet that some time in her life she
had passed through the experiences
rehearsed during her delirium. As
a matter Of fact, this was absolutely
true, and the impressions left on
her mind resulted in Authorizations,
recurring at intervals with great
force.
Here, then, were remarkable
symptoms. But the cure was not less
remarkable. Du Janet tried the or
binary mental cure by trying to-
make the girl will away the hallu-
cinations during the hypnotic pc
riod. You must get well. You will
get well. You are well, Z he said to-
the girl, but it wouldn t work Then
he tried a holder idea Replunging
her into the deep hypnotic stage, Du
Janet INDUCED in a little piece OF
comedy and made it appear to the
rapt mind of the hysterical girl that
the old lady wasn't hurt at all that
it was all a joke. She did fall, twas
true, but she wasn't killed She
picked herself up, shook the dust off
her dress and walked away. Du
Janet acted the part well, and the
afrightened girls mind was re
lieved from the oppressive sense Of
the old lady s misfortune. Likewise
he impressed the girl with the ludi-
crous side of the matter. The girl fell
in with the happy illusion, and her
trouble was gone. Her hysteria, de !,
mentia and hallucinations being
driven out, the girl got stout and
well, and no recurrence of her form
or troubles have been noticed.
