MYSTERY 5 ! 9 or A LOST 'Rlfss
Ike Circlet Got Around Mouse's
 Neck and strnnaIed Him .rs9 to Resltli..st t-la


 "I was told true fostering story the other day which Isbelieve has never been in print, although such may be the case, says a. writer in the Boston Her. aid. A well-known society woman sud deny missed a valuable diamond ring from her finger. It was ring she sel. dom removed, but all that could be re- membered about it was that she had just washed her hands. Fearing it had slipped off in the operation the plumb CT was quickly called in and all the traps opened, with the faint hope Of finding the jewel, but without avail. and sorrow ,reigned in the household for the diamond was not only intrinsic. ally valuable, but dearly zprized souvenir. Some time later the set. bowl in the bathroom had to be replaced, and when it was removed, To and behold, crowded in behind the water pipes was the skeleton of a mouse. and round the sle.eton's thread of a neck hung a dia- mond ring. Identification was imme- diate and the mystery quickly cleared up by the poor little beast. He had feasted on box of bran which milady kept to whiten her fair hands and into which she undoubtedly dropped the ring. Mousie, through vanity or acci- dent slipped it over his head, but in trying to escape with the loot he died a felon's death. .:

somnam bulistic condition is not asleep. Somnambules will often de- clare that they remember nothing, they will say: q said that reme m- bered nothing of what transpired, but I do,'' and then. relate all that passed. This could not happen if they had been asleep. .An4earnest practitioner does not desire a patient of this class, although it is among these that the ''miraculous' cures are effected. It is, usually. on account of their suggesti- bility that their diseases exist, and it has been the experience of the most advanced thinkers operating along these lines, in this country (which cer- tainly leads in this matter, as must soon be acknowledged, that when a somnambulist has a genuine ailment it is more difficult to cure him than one less suggestible, who has greater reasoning ability: and voluntarily places his mind in intelligent coop eration with that of his physician, i. e., one who makes a voluntary therapeutic auto-suggestion.
 Somnambulists are apt to be found
 
 stern and allowvery little latit ude for original thinking in their children. The brain cells that should be brought into use by voluntary thought are poorly .nourished. Little demand has been made upon them and the blood supply is deficient. It is to the cells of the body most frequently used that the blood flows most copiously. Hab- it's of thought are formed by the con- tinual stimulation of their own groups of cells. The involuntary mind stores impressions received through the senses. The same impression, often repeated. causes the formation of hab- it's of thought. If it is desired to break up bad habit of thought (which is pretty apt to ultimate itself in some; way in the physical system) it is better to drop that subject, not even taking the trouble to ''deny" it. and substitute some other habit of thought. Every, violinist would like to have his Instrument broken in" by an artist. The value of an old violin does not consist in its having been owned by master" but in the hab- it's of vibration. formed in its. 'fibers. It's rich tones are due to the fact that they have been produced so often and correctly yuUThe more often one, thinks ectly,Jwhether in regard to his health or other matters, the nearer he comes to the object he wishes to obtain the mind rules the body as surely as thoughts are things. Most | diseases may be referred to functional troubles, ard there are none of-,tl1e lIatter but may be cured by suggestion alone when intelligently directed.

H CASTELLANES SUED HERE.
Trustees of Jay GouId's Will Enjoin
 cd I'm New York

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Creditors of Count Boni de Castellane and Count ess de Castellane, formerly Anna Gould, have decided to ignore the action of the French courts in appointing George Gould as the guardian of the countess and have arranged to bring actions in this state with the view of preventing the countess obtaining all of the income due her from the Gould estate until her debts, which amount to several million dollars, have been paid. The first move was made yesterday when Guggenheimer. Untermyer & Marshall. representing An ton J. Dittmar the assignee of claims of a bric-a-brac dealer of London, obtained a temporary injunction from Justice Fitzgerald in the supreme court restrain ing George J., Edwin, Howard and Helen M. Gould, as trustees under the will of the late Jay Gould, from paying to the Countess de Castellane any income which might be due her. Argument for per manent injunction and the appointment of receiver for the countess interests will be heard in the supreme court on Monday next. -s-s -t
 As the accounts now stand there Is due and payable, according to the dealer, tn
 sum of $261 ,432.74, and there are draft
 not yet due which amount to $115, ,So1.o2, making a total of S377 ,29Q.26.

Killing of "A,rache Kid"

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 27.-Details have been received of the killing of the supposed Apache Kid" near Pacheco, Mex, few days ago. The killed includ- ed three Indians, one of them supposed to be the notorious Apache kid," for whom the United States government has offered a reward of S5,OOO. The other dead were an Indian squaw, with. a papoose, who fell in the fight, it not be ing known that the adult was a woman, and the child was not seen until after the fight. The shooting was done by two men whom the Indians had robbed and who had followed the band. They had decided to let the robbers go, when the latter came forward in a trail that made the shooting necessity.

Lake HarbOr Ruined.

CLEVELAND, Nov. 27.--A terrible storm is raging along the chain of the great lakes At ? o'clock yesterday morn ing the wind reached its maximum veloc- ity and blew at the rate of 50 miles an hour up to o'clock. Rain has been falling almost continuously since Sat urday. The lowest temperature was 34 degrees yesterday morning, but the pierc- ing wind made it seem colder.
 A dispatch from Lorain says that a terrific storm has been raging there. Thousands of dollars worth of damage has been done. and the end is not yet. The schooner St. Lawrence, which went ashore few days ago, has broken up.
 The east government pier is going rap idly, and the indications are that Lorain as a harbor will not be on the map if the storm continues. Over 1000 feet of the pier has been swept away completely, and the northeastern is threatening the west pier, the lighthouse and range light. The Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling docks are also suffering, the foundation being washed out. r>.

Antiquity of Anatomical Study

Sir Norman Lockyer points out that the statues and plaques carved in stone and wood to be seen in the Gizeh museum prove that the priest nummifiers of Memphis 6.000 years ago had a profound knowledge of an atomy. Science, he therefore thinks. is as old as art, and they have ad- vanced together. Another remarlla- ble fact is that the excavations in Italy have brought to light scores of finely finished surgical instruments for certain operation which are in almost every particular of form pre- cisely like those reinvented in modern times and used by the most advanced surgeons of to-day.

GALES AND FLOODS.
MHch Damage on sthe Lalses-Rfvers
 Over Their Banks.

BUFFALO,, Nov: 27.-Hcayy rains throughout the western part of the state during the last As hours have caused q repetition of the floods of 1889. Rivers have oyerf!owed their banks, causing great damage to property and flooding this and other cities.
 The Cohocton and Canisteo rivers have flooded the country through which they flow. The Chemung river, formed by these two, rose yesterday, oyerflowing it's banks in many places and washing out many bridges and sections of track of the New York Central and Erie railroads above this city. Water on the flat below Ithaca is eight feet deep. --s.
 Elmira has been flooded. The Chemung river late last night registered 15 feet above low water level and was slowly ris- ing. The fire and police departments were busy all afternoon aiding in work of rescue. Almost all the bascments in the business districts arc under water, and the property loss will be considera- ble.
 Telephone messages from points along the head waters of the Chemung report the worst floods since 1889. At Knoxville, Pa, two iron railroad bridges were swept away. Traffic. on the Cowanesque branch of the Pennsylvania division of the New York Central is suspended. .
 A train on the Auburn division of the Lehigh Valley was wrecked two and a half miles north of Aoravia in conse- Quence of a washout.
 Dispatches from Binghamton say that the Chsnango and Susquehanna are very high and much property on the lowlands has been swept away.
 At Marathon q new iron bridge was washed away by the 'Tioughnioga river. At Lisle the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western depot was cut off from the town and the railroad property much damaged. At Chenango Forks a boom of logs was broken. and they are floating down the Susquehanna. -T '- .-.
 The water in the Genesee river at Wellsville is the highest it has been in ten years. The Buffalo and Susquehanna railroad tracks between Wellsville and Genesee, Pa., are covered, and traffic is stopped.

If the operator tells him that he. will awaken, and :. remember nothing of what has passed, he will deny all knowledge of what has occurred while he was in the somnambulistic condition, but if ordered to remember, compelled to make mental effort. he can relate all that has transpired.

seem to have changed somewhat dur ing the ages, indeed at the present day the worlds inhabitants do not appear to be at all unanimous on the subject. Nevertheless, in one particular all are agreed Every one, from the cZar of Russia and President Mckinley to the poorest peasant and most, wretched Filipino, desires a sound body. And no one will doubt that a condition of health is the normal one. All who are aiiing in any way desire to be cured, and as new systems of treatment have multiplied with the years, there exists to-day a sufficient variety tosatisfy the diversified needs of all. But with the increase of knowledge, and especially with the interest taken during the last half century in psychology, there has been a growing tendency to favor the different systems of healing without drugs. Ever since any sort of history existed so-called miraculous cures have been effected by means which every ra- tional person must recognize as purely mental; and, now that thereis afforded an easy explanation of all that had previously appeared mysterious, think ing people are revolving the question as to which of the various forms of mental healing is most logical and effective. After depending so long upon drugs it is not strange that a vast number of people, at the first glimpse of the truth, should swing to the opposite eN- treme and insist upon being healed, un- der all circumstances, by some intel lectual process independent of all the aids described in the materia medica. But while it is true that most com plaints are amenable to psychological treatment, the world is not ready to do away entirely with the medicines to which it has been so long accust omed. However, the physicia< who can bring about condition of health in the greatest number of patients with the smallest demand upon drugs is he whose services will, in the near future.

It is serived from the Greek sleep" While it was believed that a person in a state of deepest somnambulism was actually at the mercy of the operator, to remember or forget, at the will, of the latter, all that had occurred, it is not surprising that the term should have appeared appropriate. But as it has now been proved by thousands of experiments, made under the nest favorable cir cumstances, that a patient in this condition is always conscious of his environment and everything occurring around him, that his memory of these events is at all times perfect, it fol- lows, as matter of course, that he s not asleep.
