HYSTERlA IN ANIMALS

From the Philadelphia Medical Journal.
The pathology Of the lower animals
has been extensively studied, both for
its own sake and for the light which it
throws on the diseases Of man. It is
perhaps in tn nervous system that the
least advance has been made in COM
parative pathology, especially in the
domain OF the psychoses. At first
thought the mention Of mental affec-
tons in the lower animal is apt to ex-
cite incredulity, or even a smile. But
the occurrence Of hysteria among them
has long been recognized. In fact,
there is nothing odd about this. Many
of the lower animals are endowed with
the most lively emotions, and their dis
ordered emotions are fruitful causes Of
various psychoses. TIL e emotions of
the dog, cat and the horse are familiar
to all.
A French veterinary surgeon, M.
Leptnay, has just discoursed entertain
~ in La Nature on this subject Fear
and Joy. according to-. Lepinay, are the
two emotions which act most disas-
trously upon the nervous systems of
animalse. Thus dog was separated
from it's mistress for several months
each year; when the time for reunion
came 1t was necessary to act with
great caution, otherwise the excessive
Joy Of the animal caused a nervous cri-
sis, the effects Of which lasted several
months. M. Lepinay had a canary
bird, which, while singing in It's cage,
was frightened by a prowling cat. The
bird fell unconscious and was revived
with difficulty. Complete aphonia fol-
lowed and lasted for six weeks; this
hysterical stigma then disappeared sud-
denly, just as in the human subject,
and the bird resumed its singing. A
| traumatic shock can cause hysterical
parapiegia in a cat, as was observed
by Lepinay. The animal WAS attacked
and bitten by dog, and vas left COM
pletely paraplegis, dragging its hind
quarters as it tried to walk. = This per-
sisted for two months. whe;;tt .ee animal
was suddenly cured by beilg thrown
from window by cruel servant:
1t jumped up and ran away.
This subject has been studied by the
French, and has not been neglected by
| GILES de la Tourette in his treatise on
hysteria.

From Country Life in America: ~
August Is another rather unsatisfac-
tory month for the bird-student. The
sweet melodies of earlier months have
ceased, the red-eyed vireo and the wood
pewee alone making music. This is the
great moulting month, the gay nuptial
dress of the males being changed for
soberer array for the long journey so
soon to be taken. Where the birds go
for this change sometimes seems per-
picking, for, tramping through copse
and thicket, they seem almost unten-
anted. Yet toward the close of the
month behold the birds with us again.
in new dress. The goldfinch and wax
wing are still mudh concerned with
family affairs in the early part of the
month, and that exceedingly domestic
little busybody whom we all love, the
song sparrow, is sometimes found car
ing for her third family. In the marshes
and sedges the gathering of the clans
brings together thousands Of redwinged
blackbirds, swallows and bobolinks, the
latter now become reed birds. This
is perhaps the most characteristic feat
ure of bird-life in the month. A few
migrants come down from their nest
ing grounds in the north on their way
south, In the first half of the month
you may meet with the Canadian
warbler, .golden-winged warbler, chest
nut-sided warbler, small-billed water
thrush, yellow-bellied f1ycatcher, semi
palmated sandpiper, and semi-palmated
plover. LAS the month wanes it brings
more of the warblers, Wilson's, Ten
nessee, Nashville, Cape May, parula,
black-throated green, black-throated
blue, Blackburnian and magnolia. The
olive-sided f1ycatcher also appears.
Along the seacoast the vanguard Of the
waders appears in scattering f1ocks of
sandpipers, ringneck plover, and an oc-
casional yehow-leg. AS the month
draws to a close you will note a return
to song on the part of some of the birds
through Noting, notably the Baltimore
oriole.

TOBACCO AND ITS SLAVES.
Some Curious Fate Relative to Weed
Not Generally Known.

Not Generally Known.
From the Washington Post:
Tobacco is a thing of mystery. Some
Of it's features and peculiarities are be-
yond the ken of mortal man. No doubt
a gentleman Of profound erudition and
unanswerable logic might 80 to st.
Johns parish. Louisiana, and after con-
ventional scrutiny prepare paper pro-
viding exclusively that perique tobacco
can be produced just as we'll In Rap1eds
or in Terrebonne as there. No doubt
a. highly scientific analysis of the soil
near Tampico, Mexico, would show
that in all chemical respects it is
identical with that of the Vuelta Abajo
On Pinar del Rio province, Cuba. But
can any true smoker be converted to
either OF these beliefs? It Is easy
enough, perhaps, to prove a thing on
paper with formulate, ETC.; the question
10 one of proving it to the satisfaction
of the consumer. There is very great
difference. A whole library Of calcula-
tons and statistics goes for nothing
when the untutored smoker takes the
weed in his teeth and subjects it to the
vulgar test OF use.

one Of personal, though doubtless uni
formed, taste. There are nameless and
1ndesoribable factors in the equation.
There are mysteries as astounding as
the mystery Of life itself.
The most constant and fanciful de-
voice Of tobacco cannot tell whether or
not his cigar is burning If you blindfold
him or put him in pitch-dark room
He may resort to unlawful means. He
may burn his fingers at the lighted end
or he may inhale the smoke. But, In
default OF one or the other OF these ex-
pedients he has not the faintest idea
whether he Is smoking or not smoking.
Take of the bAndage or light the room
80 that he can see and I'm a second he
becomes an expert and can discriminate
between the genuine Vuela Abajo ar
ticle and the best cigar produced in any
other part Of the world. No one has
ever explained It, The fact remains.
Similarly, no one can give a scientific
reason why cigars fully equal to those
made in Pfnar del Rio cannot be pro.
duced In Mexico with the same seed
the same handlers and makers and with
soil chemically IDENTICAL Similarly, No
one has yet been able to expound the
impossibility Of raising the real perique
tobacco In Louisiana outside OF a Ger.
tain very limited locality. These pro.
blems do not yield to science, 10 far al
the smoker is concerned. The mysteries
we have mentioned still stare science

THIS LAKE FULL OF BASS
So Many of Them Indeed That 1t ID
No,ru~ ~ Catch n >m

So Many of Them Indeed That 1t 10
No>Fun to Catch Them.
From the New York Sun:
A man who has not been In the
Northwestern woods is apt to be in
credulous Of some of the things they
contain. For instance.he would discredlt
the statement that there Is any such a
thing as lake covering many acres
in which the black bass are 80 thick
that in places It Is impossible to see
the bottom. Yet that sort Of lake Is in
Northern Minnesota and may be seen
by any man who takes the trouble to
go to it,
1t is named Sand Lake and Is near
the little postofflce Of Pine River, about
$50 miles nearly due north Of st. Paul.
It is about $50 acres In extent and quite
deep in places. 1t is surrounded by
primeval forest Of hemlock and pines
and it's banks are bold.
1t goes without saying that this is of
a railway or other beaten track Of trav-
ell. Being populous with game hsn It
would have long ago but for its inac-
feasibility. Not more than dozen
anglers visit each year and they are uli'
able to keep down Its supply. Nature
balances such things, however. and
there are always enough bass to keep
down the perch and enough muskal-
longe to keep down the bass.
Fishing in Sand lake does not rise
to the level Of sport. 1t matters little
what bait is used or whether the cast
be near or far or accurate or wide. The
bass is hungry and will bite at any
thing and there are as many OF them
to the left as to the right.
Fishing there is monotonous success
sion of casting the line, hooking fish,
Keeling in and making another cast.
The only variety comes from the diff
ferent weights and tempers Of the fish
and that is not enough Of Variety for
a genuine angler.
Men have known to go to Sand lake
and make hogs of themselves by catch
: ing all the fish they could all the time,
but many others have been known to
leave there In a day or two because
they wanted some work and excitement
with their fishing.
The bass are generally of fair size,
running from a pound to two or three
pounds. Occasionally one larger is TAX
en-. They are of the Oswego or large
mouthed kind.
Anything will do for them-frog,
minnow, worm or spoon. The number
that may be taken by one man In a day
depends upon the one days length and
the one mans endurance, as we'll as
high ability to stand monotony. He
could as readily catch 500 Of them as
fifty he had the strength and will.
Often a hundred or 80 are taken on
his first day by the enthusiastic visitor,
who tells himself that he never saw
such fishing and does not expect ever
to see it again. On the next day, how
ever, he is apt to content himself with
a couple Dozen and on the third day he
does not want any at all.
1t seems to the angler at home or in
his dim dusty office that If he could
just be somewhere where the breath of
the pines breathed on him and yank
out fish at the rate OF two minute he
would be supremacy happy, but he does
not find 1t so when he gets to the lake.
There is more pleasure In half a dozen
bass scientifically taken than TN half a
hundred snatched out because they are
starving.

THE FIGHT AT La VICTORIA.
A REBEL ACCOUNT SAYS 1T WAS A RE
TREAT But NOT A ROUT

willemstad. Island Of Curacao Oct 19.-One
of the leaders Of the Matos revolution in Vene-
zuela who is at present in Curacao has fur
nished the following details and exclamation OF
the retreat OF the revolutionary army from La
Victoria. He says the rebels only abandoned
the fight after being convinced that La Victoria
was impregnable, and after President Castro
had refused to come out and attack the revolu-
tionists outside of La Victoria. Twice did the
revolutionary general. Mendoza, attempt to force
President Castro 10 take the offensive and twice
the President refused.
When the rebel reinforcements arrived at
La Victoria" said the leader quoted last
Thursday, President Castro and his forces were
located at a point the German railroad The
rebels made a detour of the city and cut off
the only road Of retreat open to the government
forces They were then short OF ammunition
and without the arrival OF a train bringing them
half a million cartridges l believe that Castro's
forces would have been annihilated. Prepara-
tions for their retreat had already been ordered
The revolutionists stationed near Caracas some
twelve hundred men, under the command of
General Ramos. are alone responsible for the
retreat Of General Mendoza: they permitted the
train carrying ammunition the government
TO leave Caracas and reach La Victoria This
train had an escort of only one hundred men
The men under Ramos did not attack il nor
did they destroy one OF the eighty bridpas bA
tween Caracas and La Victoria over which the
railroad runs.
AN added proof that the government suffered
terribly I'm the La Victoria fight from the re-
peated attacks OF the rebels is found in the
fact that President Castro does not pursue Cen
eral Mendoza The latter's plan in withdrav
ing from La Victoria is TO oblige President Gas
tro 10 abandon the positions he holds there Tba
rebels suffered losses. but the government did
also President Castro's forces are reduced -
thirty-one hundred men. while General Matos
still has nine thousand men In the field IT was
not a rout, but a methodical retreat vas
