No trouble is more common or more misunderstood than nervops dyspepsia. People having 1t think their nerves are 10 blame and are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicines. The real seat of the mi9chtef is lost sight Of. The stomach is the organ to be looked after.
 Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stom- aeh, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as in nearly every organ. In some cases the heart palpitates and is irregular; in others the kidneys are affected; in others the bowels are constipated, with headae hes; still others are troubled

 The performance closed with two of the most comical features of the evening. These were the Dairy Maide and Men and the pickaniunies. Their comical performances convu.sed the audience with laughter, and the eur tain was rung down on the last act amid loud and yocifegpus applause.
 The entertainment was a success throughout. upon which we c0ngrat- ulate Mrs. Travis, the Young Ladies Guild and the performers.

years old, but his long fast does not

The case Is attracting the attention
Of physicians and is said to be with

the octogenarian was stricken with
paralysis. For several days he was
unable to eat, but he soon recovered
the use Of his muscles. He then re-
fused food and has lived on water
ever since His pulse is normal, he
sleeps well and seems in no need of
nourishment. OF course he could be
forced to take food. but his family is
disinclined to adopt extreme measures
so long as the patient is in no appar-

son came here from New York in 1856,

tor in industrial and penal schools
since then. He was sent to England in

VICTIM OF "TELEPATHY."
Corioas Condition Induced by the Uss
of Cocaine.

There. came to me late one night n
stranger, in widest despair, resolved
to commit suicide that night IL could
not help him, says Professor Munster
berg in the January Atlantic. He had
been physician, but had given up his
practice because his brother, on the
other side of the ocean, hated him and
had him under his telepathic influ-
ence, troubling him from over the sea
with voices which Knocked him and
with impulses to foolish actions. He
had not slept nor had he eaten any,
thing for several days, and the only
chance for life he saw was that a new
hypnotic influence might overpower
the mystical hypnotic forces. | soon
found the source of his trouble. In
treating himself for wound he had
misused cocaine in an absurd way, and
the hallucinations of voices were the
chief symptoms Of his cocainism.
These products of his poisoned brain
had sometimes reference to his brother
in Europe, and thus the telepathic sys-
tenn grew in him and permeated his
whole life. | hypnotiZed him, and sug
gested to him with success to have
sleep and food and a smaller dose of
cocaine. Then / hypnotized him daily
for six weeks. After ten days he gave
up cocaine entirely, after three weeks
the voices disappeared. and after that
the other symptoms faded away 1t
was not, however, until the end that
the telepathic system was exploded.
Even when the voices had gone, he for
while felt his movements controlled
over the ocean, and after six weeks.
when | had him quite well again, he
laughed over his telepathic absurdities,
but assured me that if these sensations
came again he should be unable, even
in full health, to resist the mystical

PARADISE FOR BEARS.
Nations Wards In Yellowstone Park
Cannot BE Harmed,

Everybody has heard of the bears Of
Yellowstone park and how it is one
OF the sights for travellers to see bruln
feed on the refuse Of the hotels, says
the New York Herald. But it is only
the camper in this sixty square miles
of guarded area-the camper despised
by landlords and the railroad corpora
ton that creates landlords-who learns
there's such divinity doth hedge the
nations wards that treason can but
keep to what it would" The nations
wards share the honors Of the park
with the famous mud geyser, but the
mud geyser is not peripatetic. and
when one has sufficiently enjoyed its
upheaval he can easily turn his at
tention to other marvels of the region,
while bruin is such wanderer and
makes himself so very much at home
in everybody's camp, and seems to
enjoy the good things of the larder
so much better than the refuse Of the
hotels, that the camper is often made
to realize that he himself is decidedly
not at home, where he would make
short work of burglars, whether on
two or four legs. But woe to the man
who would protect himself from noe
turnal visitors In this geological Eden.
All humans are warned when they en-
ter that they must not fool with the
animals on pain of arrest, and their
firearms are either taken from them
or securely sealed by government off,
Gals. II the soldiers may be believed,
some Princeton boys ventured last
summer to exercise the freedom Of the
university in these sacred precincts
and actually killed Yellowstone bear.
Whether they all fired at once, or
whether one OF their number killed
the bear and his fifteen comrades re-
fused. after the manner Of college boys,
to point out the culprit, the soldiers
did not say. However it was, the en-
tire number were locked up for sixty
days without benefit of clergy. The
law permits one to unseal his weapons
and even to kill bear IL ones life
is actually endangered. The real diff
ficulty seems to be in proving the in
tentions OF the enemy. 1t hardly seems
feasible for person to unseal his gun,
load and defend himself successfully
after he is once in the close embrace
OF bruin.
