Dear Sir: The Trustees of Fair

ANIMALS NERVOUS CRISES.
They Are Affected by Fear in Much
the Same Manner as HUI
man Beings.

A veterinary surgeon, NJ. Lepinay,
has just called the attention of the So
ciety of Hypnotism and Psychology to
the Importance of the mental path
ology of animals. Nervous troubles
among beasts may be produced, as
among us, by different causes.
A dog whose history M. Lepinay
gives was put out to board at the COM
mencement of the holidays each year,
and upon his return to his home great
care was necessary that the dog and
it's mistress did not come Immediate
ly in contact, for if they did a nerv-
Gus crisis occurred which lasted for
several months. Here is a case of
nervous trouble provoked by fear, and
related by DR.. Hyger, the subject being
one of his canary birds. The bird
was singing happily in its cage, when
a cat suddenly entered the room, threw
itself upon the cage and knocked it
to the floor. The doctor put the cat
to flight before the bird was wo1fnd
ed, or even touched, but the shock had
been such that the canary lay with
out movement or voice on the bottom
of the cage, and only after sprinkling
it with cold water was life restored.
1t then became alive, and in moment
or two commenced to hop and jump
as before. 1t had, however, become
suddenly mute, complete aphonia hav-
ing developed. This condition persist
ed for six weeks, and then as sud
denly as he had lost it the bird re-
gained his voice and again exercised his
full musical powers.
A traumatic shock can also produce
hysteria. Very often dog which
is the victim of an accident becomes
lame without there being any symp-
toms to explain the manifestations,
and after killing the animal the au-
topsy has disclosed no lesion suf~
fciently serious to produce the NAL
ady. DR.. Hyger presents another case
having the same origin. A cat, nine
months of age, was bitten by dog.
The cat sank down at once, as If para
lived, and from this time moved only
by dragging its hindquarters, the pos
terror third of the trunk and the hind

the tail. Two months after the acci-
dent domestic, wishing to see if para
lyzed cats, similar to well cats, al
ways fell on their feet, threw the poor
beast from the first-story window.
The cat fell on it's feet and scampered
away on all fours. The blow of the
new emotion had completely cured
its paralysis.
Lightning striking stable, says
writer in La Nature, has often pro-
duced Insignificant burns and wounds,
followed by exeesses of grave hysteria,
most frequently paralysis or con-
traction. These accidents have been
especially studied by NJ. HUT, and in
his account one observes undeniable
nervous troubles, NJ, Arueh, of the
veterinary school of Milan, has related
several cases, the subjects being dogs,
which manifested very accentuated
nervous troubles under the impression
of fright, rebuke or jealousy.

had not intimated to the other girls
that Beulah's absence was to her un-
expected; on the contrary, so far as
was consistent with her ideas of Pres
byterian doctrine, she had intimated
exactly the other thing. She was dis
posed to maintain something like
boarding school discipline over her
girls, and they, she well knew, with
their associations, were all too likely
to imbibe the odious doctrines of
youthful feminine freedom with which
the dreadful Sunday papers reeked. She
now thought that to go at once and
speak to Beulah alone would be the
best way of maintaining discipline.
She knocked at the door and, immedi-
ately opening it, found herself face to
face with a very white, wide eyed
young woman, who stood in front of
her chaperon as if barring the way.

Mrs. Garner got atp to greet her.
in short, in the most instinctively cal
culated manner, all the things that
Mrs. Garner would understand as re-
flecting credit upon herself.
''This girl didn't have a very nice
complexion, did she? That's why
you've made it so dark and reddish,
isn't it?" said Mrs. Garner hesitating-
ly after various half articulate muir
murs of admiration. She could not
repress a little automatic effort to find
out why these things, WHICH were so
much less pretty than the pictures in
an illustrated weekly, We're so much
more wonderful, fact she never
dreamed of questioning.
''Oh, no." said Beulah. "She had a
very nice complexion, but the light was
not strong on it, and then, you see,
these things are done in such hurry
we only try to get the figure, the ae-
tion."
1t did not annoy her in the least
when people did not understand. She
liked to explain little, and she never
