IMAGINARY ILLNESSES.
Doctors Declare that Imagination
Disease in the Orient.

Doctors Declare that Ina gina tion
Disease IN the Orient.
Doctors who have practiced much in
India and other Eastern countries, tell
us that there is nothing so difficult as to
treat native who has once made up his
mind that his illness will be fatal. No
matter if he is only slightly i'll, once he
has decided that lis time for dying has
come, 1t straightway comes, for the mind
has such an influence on the body that,
just IN the same way a very strong-wllled
person refuses to give up MS hight Tor
life even IN the tace OF the verdict,
there is no hope so the Indian says,
Il must die" and does it.
1t is certainly a fact that the illnesses
from which a great many people suffer
are purely imaginary, but it is also a fact
that if they persevere in their lmaglnlngs
for long enough the illnesses may become
more real than they like. These imagin
airy invalids are Il perfect mine of wealth
to doctors and druggists, and swallow
more pills and potions in a week than or
binary people would consume in a year.
Their food has to be weighed out and
their drink measured with minute pre-
clSlOn, for there is no telling what terri
bic results might ensue if a quarter of an
ounce more bread were eaten or a drop
more fluid drank than is set forth in the
uleldly Whereby lney regulate l4elr
meals.
If you ask them how they are they are
never more than "a little better or fair
ly well for me" and we can only wonder
that, considering the way they worry
over themselves, they can truthfully add
init even as much as this. There can
be no illness of any kind in the neigh
borhood without their feeling perfectly
certain that it will attack them. If
once in while their health permits them
to take a walk and they chance to see a
friend who had influenza short time
ago, instantly they cross the road, SO
that there can be no possibility Of infec-
ton. There are occasions when even
with the greatest care cherry or some
other fruit stone is swallowed, and if
such an awful thing should happen to
one of these imaginary invalids a never
ending cause for anxiety is provided. for
who can say that it may not produce
some terrible illness? If one talks to
these inyalids on a fine day the gloomy
and respondent conversation is almost
enough to make the sun hide his face,
and If you have the misfortune to be
with them for half an hour or SO on a
wet day you may almost be forgiven If
your desire to use language the reverse
of polite is very nearly uncomfortable.

THE LUCkLESS MOTH,

A mother moth ip the soft spring sun
Flew up and down the room
She preened her wings, and smoothed the
down
Of her silver gray and silken gown
Just free from winters tomb.
She was round and fat and fair TO see
Though she had not dined since fall
But then she had eaten up, you know,
The bulk of q summer brides tr0usSeau-
Twas tOOthsOme feast WithaI.
Now she called her children to her side
From corner, crack, and trunk;
A gay, Well-rOunded host were they,
Save one poor child who, sooth to say.
Had pitiably shrunk.
ALAS exclaimed this meager moth,
AS he viewed his well-fed kin
misfortune marked me for her own
When | started out in life alone
My daily wool to win
Y.
Just fancyi'' and tiny tear
Adown his cheek did steal,
Il was boxed up by some bearded brute
With only my Ladys bathing suit.

Acquitted by Lincoln.

William Armstrong died recently at
Ashland, Cass county, III. His claim 20
fame lies in the fact that in 1858 Abra-
ham Lincoln defended him on a charge
of murder and secured his acquittal. Lin
coin took the case without fee and to dis
charge a debt of gratitude This was the
case which Lincoln won with an A.
manac. He discredited the testimony Of
the chief witness, who swore that he saw
Armstrong do the deed by the bright
light of the moon Lincoln showed by
the almanac that the moon was not shin
ing at the time.

SPINNING WHEEL.
A SONG OF SUMMER.

l sing the song Of the open car
And the man at the end of the seat,
Who never is willing to move along
Or even retract his feet.
He sticks to his place-the selfish churl!-
AS if he We're stuck with glue,
And his whole manner says, as plain as
words:
Il don't care hang for you!'
Oh, he is Il selfish man.
! call him the end-Seat hog.
He's the sort of man who would KICK 4

Or torture a faithful dog.
The world will be better when he is dead
And laid on tomb's dark shelf.

For l want that seat myself!

1t WORKS Like a Grain Hinder

The only way to bind corn is the rea-
sonable, sensible, horizontal way; that is
as nearly after the principle of a grain
binder as is possible. Those who have
used the Deering Horizontal Corn Binder
know that binding corn by machinery is
no longer an experiment. This machine
has roller and ball bearings, it is light
for two horses and free from side draft
and it does not scatter loose ears all over
the field.
