most common objects His health be-
ing restored he began TO reacquire
knowledge like child. After learn
ing the names of objects. he was
taught TO read; ard after this began
to learn Latin. He had made consid-
erable progress when. one day, while
reading his lesson with his brother,
who acted as tutor, he suddenly
stopped, put his hand to his head, and.
after complaining of peculiar sensa-
tion In that region, exclaimed: ut
appears to me that l knew all this
before" And from that moment his
faculties and previous knowledge rap
idly came back to him.
All these abnormalties are startling
enough but there is n periodic variety
of amnesia which is .uncanny in the
sufferer with a double personality. DR..
Azam gave some details of case
of this Kind in the Revue Scientifique
in 1877. A young woman Of hysteri.
cal temperament, he says, was at
tackled In 1856 with this singular NAL
ady, which caused her to live a dou.
BILE life, passing alternately from one
to another of two psychlcal states,
which he differentates as the "first
condition" and the second condition"
In her first condition she was n seri.
Gus, grave, reserved, and hardwork

come by sleep, she would awake in
her second condition" with q changed
character, being now gay, imagina.
tive, vlvacious. and coquettish. While
in this second condition" she remem.
bered all that had taken place in her
first Tor normaD condition.; but when.
after a time, she was seized with an
other trance and awoke In her ''first
condition" she had no recollection of
what had happened in the abnormal
period, her memory being entirely lin
| tied to her experiences in the first
condition" AS years went by the

frequent, but it was found that her

shorter and shorter periods, so that
the originally grave and serious WON
an showed a tendency to become per-
manently absorbed in the gay and vi
vacious cOquette. "Know thyself,"

bility that we might have more than

Tho warmest Gloves.

The approaching departure Of the
Discovery recalls that other Antarctic
expedition that started from Antwerp
in the Belgica in the summer of 1897.
Besides the usual features that are
characteristic of every Polar vessel
the wooden walls that will bend with
out breaking before the pressure of
ice, the untamable sledge dogs that can
scarcely be held under control, the mu-
steal boxes and other seemingly trivial
arrangements for enlivening the long
solitude in prospect-the Belgica pos
sessed one peculiar feature of its own
in pair of warm gloves made from
human hair, which had been present
ed to the captain by Nansen himself.
Among his other discovries the great
explorer had made the important one
that human hair was most efficacious
in keeping out the cold and wet The
idea is almost worth exploiting in the
West End. Auburn gloves might easi.
ly become the rage next winter. Mean.
while, one wonders whether the me-
dieval ascetlc did not really wear his
hair shirt from motives of hygiene.
But perhaps this is splitting hairs

a curious sample OF seventeenth CEN
tury manufacture in the shape Of a
large geographical copper globe has
recently been placed in the building
of the Academy of Sciences at Tsars-
koe-Selo. 1t is eleven feet in diam
eter and weighs three and a half tons.
Its construction was commenced in
1854, but it was not completed until
ten years later, in the reign of Duke
Frederick Of Holstein. 1t was present
ed to the Academy of Sciences in 1925,
but until now has stood In the Zoo
logical Museum at Tsarskoe-Selo. The
outside represents the earth and the
interior the celestial spheres of the
world. There is a door giving access
to the Interior, where a table which
will accommodate twelve people is
placed. By means of an ingenious
mechanism the globe can be made to
revOlve on its axis.

The wedding took place at the ap.

went TO live in the great house. 1t
was n dream of happiness made real.
Old Mr.. Chiffon was very fond of her.

The sister was married. and the
young wife was now the mistress of
the great house. She told herself that
she was truly happy, and then sudden
ly there came a thunderclap in her
clear sky. 1t was letter from Miss
Parker, her friend who had been tour
ing in Europe. For long time after
reading it the young wife walked in
wretchedness up and down the room.
The following is an extract from the
letter: Il am so sorry that you did
not come; but no, you wanted to take
up n special study, and be smarter

She heard Mr. Chiffon go into his
library, and with the letter shaking in
her hand she entered the room. Mr..
Chiffon, an awful mistake has been
made! Read thisv' She handed him
the letter and sat down with a sigh.
He read 1t, grunted, laughed, and
said. my dear, all men who have

The remarkable discovery of large
subterranean beds of ice, of undoubt-
ed glacial origin, was made some time
ago by Baron Toll, and the last issue
Of the Bulletin of the Russian Geo
graphical Society contains a memoir
by him describing these old fossils and
giving several Photographic reproduc-
tions of their appearance. He found
them on the great Lyakhoff Island of
New Siberia in seventy-four degrees
north latitude. These beds of ice
undoubtedly date from the glacial
period and contain branches, roots and
other remains of trees which do not
now grow above seventy degrees of
north latitude. They are covered with
several layers of soil. The ice has
apparently been preserved by the per
manent and perhaps increasing cold of
this region. ,..~g,

The thunderheads, high white PIN
nacles Of cloud. are of two types. The
first type, known as heat clouds, are
small in size, looking like puffs of
steam, and may melt in the intense
heat without causing a shower. While
they indicate a thunderstorm tenden-
cy. yet such storm may not occur
nearer than n hundred miles. The
true thunderheads, which result in
such storms nearby, are narrow at
the top, have some stratifcation al
their bases, and are from ten to fif-
teen degrees in width. They form all
around the horizon, and not in small
detached patches like the heat clouds.

Valuable results are reported from

the testimony of DIR. Charles e. Page,
of Boston, the most successful sana-
torioum in Europe is that at Veldes,
in Austria, where for the greater part
of the time the patients go without
any clothing whatever. Plants kept
away from the light grow pale and

'utions. ~

Swallowed Two Pon,a. n, s,or.

Stones do not form part of the rec
ognized diet of the cormorant. but one
of these birds in the National Zoolog-
ical park in Washington had a craving
which could be satisfied only by eat
ing two pounds of stones. The keep
er's attention was attracted to the bird
because after having once sat down
it couldn't get up. He was picked up,
and then the stones were heard rafting
inside of him. An official connected
with the park decided that something
must be done, and he promptly cut the
cormOrant open and relieved him of his
burden. One of the stones, of irregular
shape, was $40 inches long. The in
cisiOn was sewed up. and for five days
the bird got along all right, the wound
healing finely, but at the end of that
time the cormorant grew FESTIVE and
pulled out the stitches with his hooked
bill. AS a consequence of opening up
the wound he died.

TALK OF MARRIAGE.
IL IL Proper For the Man, but Not
For the Girl, Apparently.

IL IL Proper For the Man, hut Not
For the Girl, Apparently.
y man may remark on his intention
to marry at some indefinite. futr1re time,
when prudence or other considerations
may make il possible or advisable,
without having. as n rule, to run the
gantlet OF chorus of impertinent and
stupid would be witty remarks. But
should girl be bold enough, or. rather,
natural and simple enough, to say the
same thing what would be the result?
Why, every one knows that she would
be promptly sneered out of counte-
nance.
And why? Is 1t immodest for a wom-
an to express Il determination to enter
into state which we are being contin-
ually reminded is natural and honor
able state, while it is modest and prop
er for man to do so? Such distinc-
tion would never be drawn except for
the "cheapness" TO which reference has
been made.
IL u man wants to marry, he can mar
ry. If the first woman he asks refuses
him, he has only to ask n second or per-
hapS a third or fourth. 1t would be
safe TO guarantee that within n month
any man of fairly respectable life and
position and appearance who cared to
make the experiment could marry in
his own class, could marry probably a
woman much superior to himself.
But what about the girl who intends
TO marry some day." Is she not in a
very different position from the man?
Here is a girl of good character-much
better than the mans. probably-aver-
age intelligence, average good looks.
Theoretically she is free to marry
whom she win. but is she? If she re-
ceives one distinct offer of marriage,
she has had more than her share, ac-
cording to the probable average.
The fact that by an unwritten law a
woman must not take. and, indeed, does
not want to take, the initiative has very
little to do with the extremely limited
choice which modern conditions impose
upon English womcn.-Nineteenth Cen

NoncookIns Restaurants.

Odd as it may appear TO jewellers in
small cities, some OF the down town
restaurants of New York are in build
ings in which no cooking is allowed.
Some of the busiest of the midday res
taurants purchase all their meats and
stews already cooked and merely heat
them through again before serving
them to patrons. This branch of the
restaurant business has reached such
proportions that the mere operation of
cooking for such places has become an
established business, and owners OF
ovens thrive at it.-New York Sun.

Artificial stone.

Quarrymen and stone dressers will
probably be gradually crowded out of
their occupation by the use of artificial
stone. In the manufacture of this stone
the sand is heated and the cement add
ed to the amount of Il per cent Of the
mixture. The steel molds are filed
with the dry material and moved into
an immense cylinder. which is closed
and bolted. Boiling water is then
turned in under pressure sufficient to
force it all through the sand in the
molds. The cement Stacks, but the
steel molds do not permit any expan-
sion to occur. and the stone is formed
and dried under an immense pressure.
The result is a very hard stone, which
can be supplied in shapes desired and
much cheaper than the natural stone.
