clared that there was no cent in the
chiIds stomach or intestines but that
there was mass of some kind, Just be-
low the pylorus. Furthermore, he told
us that the intestines of the little girl
were red and inf1amed for a considerable
distance. OF course, the violent physick-
ing of the child would account for this.
On the evening of that day the child died,
and Drs. Chase and Allen and myself per-
formed an autopsy on the body the next
day (F'riday.) We found no cent In the
body, but we did find the mass (of abrous

described.
Last winter Leo was with me one day
when L was calling upon the family of
DR.. Allen, mentioned in the last expert
ment, and Mrs. Allen, the doctors wife,
asked him If he could describe her all
ments. He said that he thought he could,
and 1 hypnotized him. He at once began
to describe all the symptoms of equity
rheumatism, even going so far as to de-
scribe the chalky deposits in the Joints.
He also described the thickening and in
fiammation Of the right sciatic nerve. The
diagnosis, according to DR.. Allen himself,
was exactly right. Mrs. Allen had been
for years a sufferer from equity rheauma-
tism, and especially from soiatio rhauma-
tism on the right side. To test him

out of the normal, so much as that medi-
cal science has hitherto had no record
of a similar case.

DR.. Frank Wallace Brett, father of this
wonderful boy, was born in the old Mas
sachusetts town of bingham, May IA,
1861. He graduated from the bingham
high school and from the Bridgewater
normal school, in the class of 1880. In
1882 he accepted the post of principal Of
the Highlandville CNeedham) Avery
grammer school, where he taught for
three and one-half years He was grad
uated from the Boston college of physi-
clans and surgeons in 1894, receiving the
degree Of M. D., and settled In South
Braintree for the practice of his profess
sion.
He was married Aug. 2, 1885, to Miss

BERKSHIRE

Sourth Duke of Norfolk, WHO received
che earldom of Suffolk in 1908. The earl
dom of Berkshire, conferred on another
member of the family, was merged with
that of Suffolk In 1926.
The Earl of Suffolk is entitled to quar-
Ger the royal arms of the Plantagenets
He is directly descended from Edward T..
the Plantagenet King of England, and
from Philip the Bold King of France. He
Is descended in the direct male line from
Hereward, the great Saxon patriot, i'm
mortalized by Kingsley.
The earPs own title is one of the oldest
n England. but he derives greater glory
from being one of the chiefs of the house
OF Howard. Compared to his family, that
of Marlborough is new and insignificant.
The earl has a fine old Elizabethan
mansion, Charlton Park near Malmes-
bury, in Wiltshire. 1t is surrounded by
an estate of ten thousand acres. In the
house is a great collection of old mas
tiers.
This picturesque peer is but twenty-five
years old, and is an officer In the army.
He is an aide-de-camp to Lord Curzon,
in which capacity he has been able to de-
vote himself to Miss Daisy Letter, the
vicereine's sister.
Miss Daisy is attentively considering.
The Earl of Suffolk and Berkshire is
pressing and persistent.
The correspondents from Simla write
that Miss Letters answer may be tardy
one, but that it is pretty sure to be Eyes"
They say that the vicereine and Mrs.
Levi z. Letter regard him fondly.
Mr.. Levi 2. Letter, Miss Daisy's father,
is favorable. He will not say the earl
nay.
Miss Mary Letter linked the first title
to the name of Letter. She is the wife
of Lord Curzon of Kedleston. who is now
viceroy of India. 1t remains for Miss
Daisy and Miss Mamie Letter to further
make the Letters distinguished abroad.

SOUTH BRAINTREE, Mass, June 28
-"Oh, papa, can see your bones!' This
was the exclamation of little Alley LeoneI
Brett, the 11-year-old son of DR.. Frank
Wallace Brett, in the November of 1897,
just before regaining his senses after a
hypnotic trance induced by his father.

times since, and again this afternoon, in
the parlor of his fathers house, he
proved it for the last time upon the per-
son of your correspondent himself.
The boy is not only the marvel Of the
town, but of all the surrounding country.
Boston has heard of him, and New York,
and today his father received an offer
from a celebrated New York specialist
for the services of his son in the dag
nosis of a difficult case in the metropolis.

will not have attained the age of II years
until next August. To look at him one
fails to see just wherein he differs from
any other schoolboy of his age and con-
dition, excepting, perhaps, that he is far
better looking than the majority. But
he has good looking father and hand
some mother, and that would account for
this. But it will not account for the fact
used advisedly-that, when hypnotized
by his father, the eyes of this boy pos
sess all the wonderful faculties of the
Roentgen rays. Outside clothing, linen,
underwear, the human skin and flesh it
self, are as nothing in his sight. The
bones of the subject stand out in bold re-
lief, and the organs of the person upon
whom he may be looking are spread be-
fore him as though on a chart Furthr-
more-and most important of all-these
miraculous eyes behold the human
anatomy in it's true colors, red, white,
brown, even to the blue of the venous

rays. Under It's use everything appears
Of the same shade.
But the supernormal gift entails its re-
sponsibilities. The boy is unable to re-
main under the hypnotic influence for
longer than fifteen minutes at a time, and
when awakened by his father from the
trance is at first weak and faint. 1t is
undoubtedly a strain upon his nervous
system, and wisely has his father decid-
ed not to ask him to undergo it oftener
than once a week. This afternoon DR..
Bret allowed his wonderful boy to illus
trate his marvellous faculty.

The chief duty of japanese woman
all her life is obedience; while unmar-
ried, to her parents; when married. to
her husband and his parents; when
widowed, to her son. In the Greater
Learning Of Women" we read:
"A woman should look upon her
husband as if he were Heaven itself,
and thus escape celestial punishment.
THE five worst maladies that aflict
the female mind are: Indocility, dis
content, Islander, jealousy and silli-
ness. Without any doubt these five
maladies affliet seven or eight out Of
every ten women, and from them
arises the inferiority of women to men.
A woman should cure them by self-in-
spection and self-repreach. The worst
Of them all, and the parent Of the 9TH
er four. is silliness!"
The above extract shows us very
clearly the position which women have,
until quite recently, taken in Japan.
AS German writer says. her condition
is the intermediate link between the
European and the Asiatic. On the one
hand, Japanese women are subjected
to no seclusion, and are as carefully
educated as the men, and take their
place in society; but. on the other
hand, they have absolutely no indie
pendence, and are in complete subjec-
ton to their husbands, sons and other
relations. They are without legal
rights, and under no circumstances
can wife obtain a divorce or separa-
ton from her husband. however great
his offense. Notwithstanding this. in
no country does one find higher STAN
dard of morality than among the mar
ried women Of Japan. Faithlessness is
practically unknown, although the
poor little wives must often have much
to put up with from their autocratic
lords and masters. They bear all, how
ever, silently and uncomplainingly,
their characteristic pride and reserve
fotbidding them to show to the outer
world what they suffer. We Europeans
might well in many respects initiate,
and have still much to learn from our
little cousins in the Far East.-Corn-
