QUEER FORM OF HYSTERIA.
remarkable Manifestations by wom-
en- in a Turkish Town in
Asia Minor.

Dr. Dimopoulos, a medical practi-
1loner of the town of Kutahia, in Asia
Minor, sends to a Smyrna journal
particulars of an 'epidemic'' among
women of that town, which has prob
ably no parallel in modern experi-
ence, says a correspondent of the
London, Pail Mall Gazette. Abont
three years ago a young women be-
came subject to a form of hiccough
like the crow of cock, which re-
sisted treatment; soon after second
began to hiccough like a cat mewing.
and in six months there were 60
women in the town affected with
what may be described as animal hic-
coughs, exceedingly varied. Braying,
barking, and \sounds like those made
by the fox are included in the list.
DIR. Dimopoulos says that to be in a
room among a number of these
women was like an experience of the
forest Or a menagerie. Some men are
affected, but the victims are mostly
women, which is intelligible if the
doctors theory is correct, that the
disease, for which he vouches, is "a
form of imitat tive hysteria,

LIGHTNING ROAsTs FOWL.
A Bolt from the Heavens Quickly
Cooks q Hen While She Sits ON
Her Nest

The freaks of lightning that have
been observed and recorded are almost
beyond computation, but a recent one
where a setting hen was in fraction
of a second thoroughly cooked is en-
titled to a place in the catalogue of
wonderful things done by the bolts,
says the Chicago Chronicle.
The farm of Cyrus Barnhart, near
Greensburg, Pa, was chosen for the
demonstration. Cyrus has tree and a
hen. At the foot of the tree She made
a nest and laid eggs in it. Then she set
about Matching them.
A thunderstorm came up. The tree
was struck by lightning and demol-
1shed. The eggs were broken. The
hens maternal designs were vetoed
The hen was cooked thoroughly, in
stantly. One second she sat contem-
plative- on her dozen of eggs. The
next before the flash had died awav.
she was roast chicken. Not fea ather
was disturbed, but the flesh was as we'll
cooked as if it had passed an hour in a,
hot oven or kettle.
Practical persons in the neighbor-
hood sent this first example of light
ming cookery to the Carnegie ,institrte
at Pittsburg.

WHY He DECLINED THE lob.
1t VIII Be Seen That He Really
Couldn't Afford to Accept q
Government Position.

The, officers Of the treasury DEPART
ment lately had strange experience.
A few months ago, in making selec-
ton from one of the eligible registers
Of bookkeepers at the civil service
commission, their attention was at
tracted by the most excellent papers
of young man from Atlanta, Ca,
and, as they were so businesslike and
presented such neat clerical appear
ance, he was selected and rendered
position at $500 year. In due course
Of time the department. received a
co4nn1ll nication stating that at that
ainae he was SO busily engag ged that
he very reluctantly declined the po-
sStion. A few months afterward his
Rame was again certified, and he was
again selected and rendered position
at the same salary. Heagain, in very
courteous and businesslike letter, de-
chned the position for business rea-
sons. says Washington corresponds
ent Of the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
/; He appeared at the department one
day and called on the proper officers,
and, after paying respects and thank
ing them for their selection, he stated
that the reason he did not take the po-
sition at the times tendered was that
he had a business position that was
paying him $780, 900 year. r.. ~.
The veterans in the secretary's of
fee speak of this case as the most.
unique that ever came under their OBJ.

CARVE NAMES ON TERRAPIN.
One OF These SEow-Going Animals
Serves Mtss0urians as q Sort of
Autograph Album.

. Southwestern Missouri has terra
pin which has been utilized for 20
years as an autograph album by those
citizens across whose path it chanced
to creep. It is also concluded by late
Investigators that this slow-going
animal with the protected back is
given to revisiting the same places at
stated intervals of several years. That
these animals survive for an inde-
finite period and sometimes revisit
their former haunts is equally we'll
established by curious find made by
Sheriff.. Copeland, of Marles county,
near Vienna. The sheriff CHANGED to
pick up a small lana terrapin or land
tortoise, such as are common in the
Ozark country, by the roadside. On
examina the animal proved to be
o living, walking autograph album,
bearing the monograms of a number
of prominent citizens of Maries coun-
ty and dating back over 20 years.
The shell was covered with initials
carved with a knife. Among them
were: 'W. R. E." William Ellis, of
Rolla, Mo-, 1881; "B. H."-Bill Hoops,
1888, a well known citizen, now dead;
"J. P. Al. P. Anders on, 1897; "J.
P. B."-John Bade, 1597;, ex-county
official Other initials were those of
T. J. Ellis and J. T. Hoops and one
"P. o." whose owner is unknown.
Some of the monograms were well
worn and barely legible. Sheriff
Copeland inscribed his name with the
rest and started the terrapin out on
another journey.

The distressing flow of tears as

afflict those preparing onions for
cooking or for the table may be
easily avoided by means at the com
mand of everyone. The pungent odor
which affects the delicate membrane
surrounding the eyes is due to
sulphurous oil which vola tilizes rapid

is broken in any way. To avoid the
effects of this vapor is easy if a
small pared potato is stuck in the

the potato has reached a certain de-
gree of satura ton, when it can be
readily replaced by another. = ).
