South African Carts.
From the Chicago News.


In South Africa the mail carts convey
passengers for long distances. The drivers
of these vehicles are usually Cape boys"
men of mixed parentage, Hottentot, Griqua.
Koranna, with a dash of the white man
superadded. They are first-rate drivers and
manage their teams of six, eight and even
ten horses with extraordinary skill and
dexterity. Another colored boy sits along
side the driver, welding an enormously
long whip, which implement he manages
as deftly as a first-rate fy-hsher does his
rod and casting line. Nevertheless, these
Cape boys are reckless folk, much addicted
to drink and inordinately vain of their per
formances as Jehus. 1t is the fashion with
them to start away from and make the
approach to the village inns or batting
places, where they make their halts at
hard gallop. In this way, and owing to the
drivers drinking habits and the ordinary
risks of bad roads. accidents often happen,
the cart anc its passengers are occasionally
turned over and broken bones result The
cart itself is a two-wheeled tented carriage,
having two or three seats placed one behind
the other, the passengers invariably look
ing toward the horses. Luggage and mails
are strapped on behind, or, IL Regular
coach is used. upon the top.

CURING BY SUGGESTION.
Advantages Of Psychology in Practice
of Medicine.

From the New York Tribune
DR.. Howell T. Pershing of Denver, in the
pages of the Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association, emphasizes the need of. in
Producing psychology into the course of
study In medical colleges. To illustrate his
point he recites bit of his own experience
with suggestion. patient said to have
been given up by the eastern doctors, and
convinced that he was suffering from con-

quency, and declared that his weight had
diminished from 205 to 155 pounds. Careful
examina ton showed. however, that his
lungs were perfectly sound. He was then
turned over to DR.. Pershing, an expert In
brain and other nervous disorders. 1t was
observed that the sick man also suffered
from weakness Of voice, a dimness of vision
In the right eye and a partial paralysis of
the right side Convinced that these symp-
toms were simply the products of hysteria,
the doctor resorted to expedients designe ed
merely to appeal to the patients mind. He
prescribed a certain form of breathing eX
ercise and the application Of a little cleo
tricity. He also gave a dose of choral to
promote sleep. The next day the cough
and blood in the saliva were gone and the
voice returned. In a few weeks the man
gained twenty-five pounds in weight. A
fortnight later there was a relapse, with
new symptoms. The patient now exhibited
a remarkable stiffness Of one arm and leg.
Another cure was effected, however. by
manipulation Of the joints and electricity,
employed only to restore confidence"
The potent influence of suggestion on the
mind Of an invalid is already recognized to
some extent by most physicians They
often prescribe drugs which have percepti-
BILE and possibly nauseous taste, but which
are as innocent of medicinal value as
bread pill Judiciously administered, these
remedies achieve remarkable results. The
principle involved is the same as that on
which, without fully understanding It, a
mother acts when she kisses the imaginary
bruise Of her crying child and says There,
now, it is all right again Most doctors
guard too. against the baleful effect Of GER
tain other suggestions. When the revela
ton of his real condition Is likely to prove
hurtful the situation is often concealed
from a patient, and he Is not permitted to
know that friends have come from a dis
tance under the spur Of grave apprehension.
However, medical practitioners are not so
familiar as they might be with the mental
operations which, for good or for i'll. so
often affect the welfare of their patients,
and DR.. Pershings recommendations con-
corning a more systematic study thereof
are not amiss.

A SERIAL STORY.
The Mississippi Bubble" to Be Printed in
the Daily Star.

Beginning with its issue of
October II The Star will print
as a serial in daily installments
Mr.. Emerson Hough's notable
novel, "The Mississippi Bub-
ble."
According to "The Book
man. an accepted authority in
such matters, "The Mississippi
Bubble" became the best selling
book on the American market
within two months of its publ
cation. Since that time it has
more than sustained the high
favor with which it was then re-
ceived.
The book has its chief interest
in the career of John Law of
Lauriston, under whose touch
the whole financial system of
France in the days following the
death of Louis XIV was di-
rected toward the new Missis-
sippi colony in America and in
volved in it. That epoch in
French history is one of the
most picturesque in the story of
all Europe. But ''The Missis-
sippi Bubble" comprehends also
pictures of contemporaneous
life in London and the Canadian
forests. Law was in history a
most attractive and absorbing
figure. Mr.. Hough has given
him personality which intensi-
fes this historical interest.
"The Mississippi Bubble" thus
comprises a view of three inter-
esting nations at most impor-
tant stages of their development,
the career of an extraordinary
and spectacular historical figure,
and love story Of rare charm
and dramatic force.
