a sound as of some object striking

the door rushed into the camp with
blood moving down his face and from
the back Of his hands. He was so
nlIed with terror that all he c.ulo
say was that something came at him
through the darkness-some great
olrd, he thought. The next night
went outside the sleeping shanty whep
was suddenly knocked down. When

Professor Lancereaux has lust

| OF IA, a patient OF DIR. Fournier of
Angouleme, suddenly fell into regu.
lar cataleptic fits. Her members be-
came rigid, breathing and heart beats
were almost imperceptible. and there
was complete insensibility to pain.
Nothing very extraordinary in all this:
the strangeness of the affair was that
the fits came on at irregular intervals.
lasting from a few hours to several
days, and yet had no apparent III eff

singular, the seizures appeared TO be
In some way associated with a Young
married woman, neighbor, and great
friend OF the girl. When this woman
visited the house the child. though in
cataleptic condition, got up and tried
to follow her out into the street. An
other time the girl was in back
room, the friend passed the house. and
at once catalepsy supervened. Then
the doctor put some coins into his

patient, who WAS then awakened.
Since then there has been no return
OF catalepsy Professor Lancereaux
declined 10 believe in double sight"
or divlnation; he thought, however.
that the case was really one of auto
suggestion. He inclined to think that
the girl imagined her friend had spe-
cial influence on her. and thence fol-
lowed the curious symptoms. AS re-
tor thought of the coins ana tohVeyea

This, of course Is telepathy or thought

the learned professor was not 6lffi
oiently startling. he went on to give
particulars OF similar case which
came under his own personal observa-
tion. A young married woman was
attacked with Intermittent fever,
which was not only rebellious to

to confirm the truth of this singular
statement, the case thus finding its

Recetly a New York

Recetly d New York actress
thrashed a young lady ticket seller in
that city for flirting with her hus-
band. The young miss admitted
that she had written the husband in
question, but said she wrote him on
matter Of business, which, from the
character Of the letter, must be true,
but the question naturally arises,
what kind of business did the young
lady expect to transact with man
by suggesting that he meet her at
some secluded spot and at late hour
of the night at that. Even opera
singers sometimes have a man on
whom they can bestow their affec-
tons, and any attempt on the part Of
another woman to deprive them Of
their affection means war to the
knife between them, as was shown in
this case.
