IMAGINATION.

Instances Showing How 1t Has Made
Well Men Sick.
The domination of imagination over
the normal exercise Of the faculties is
10 new idea. Samuel Rogers suffered
from n violent cold from the effects Of
what he believed to be an open WIN
dow at his back, which in reality was
closed. An instance of this known to
the medical faculty is more strange
still. Two men stayed -at house in
which an inmate had died of cholera.
One man placed in the room in which
the patient had died was in ignorance
Of what had occurred. He slept we'll
and was no worse. The other, wrong
ly told that the room in which he slept
was that in which the cholera patient
had died, spent night of mental
agony and in the morning was actual.
ly found to be suffering from this COM
plant He died Of cholera.
A similar instance was mentioned
the ether day by Il friend of the writ
er. Two London men stayed in the
country ut n house where scarlet fever
was reported. One, an unimaginative,
healthy minded fellow, awoke all right
in the morning. The other, q nervous,
sensitive man, was very ill-had not
slept and had broken out into n terri
bic rash which both declared to be
scarlet fever. A wire to London
medical man was dispatched, and by
the first train he hurried down. The
supposed fever patient proved to have
no fever ut all beyond an imaginary
one. AS fact, there was no scarlet
fever in the house, the case had been
wrongly diagnosed, and the frightened
visitor had tortured himself into vio-
lent rash, all without cause.-St. James
Gazette.

FoOlfnE the Colonel.

doubt If the pranks Of the present
day subaftern are as pluckish as those
Of his predecessors. l can remember
story that went the rounds some
years ago Of Il daring junior OF the
Grenadier guards who chaffed his colo
mel In fashion that would not be
tolerated today. But the colonel was
not disposed to deal leniently with
him. He kept unusually late, or rather
early, hours, so one day an early pa
rade was ordered Unexpectedly, and
five minutes before the hour the colo
mel rode past the culprit's quarters.
Cheerfully unconscious Of impending
doom, the latter leaned out Of his bed
room window in the airy garments Of
sleep to say good morning. The colo
mel chuckled and rode on, but to his
surprise at the stroke of time the SUBJ
altern stepped out on parade fully
dressed and all in order. He knew Of
the trap and had donned the looser
garment over his uniform to take a
rise out Of his superior.-London Tat
ler.

The end of the beginning came about
Il year In ter. The lilacs had made their
appearance in the city once more, heap
ed upon the pushcarts at the curb,
where their naughty sisters, the roses
ana violctS. would sometimes stare dis
dainfully out ut them from behind the
plate glass windows Of the flower
shops. Had you been passing through
East Twentieth street early In the aft
"rnoon Of certain day you might have
seen Il big, athletic man ana slender
deep eyed girl descending the steps of
one OF the sombcr brownstone resi-
dCnccS. The man was in the regulation
twecds, with his gloves grasped firmly
i'll one hand, and the girl was gowned
in lilac Of 4 shade as elusive and beau
tiful as memory.
At the sight of the gorgcously dec
grated carriage that awaited them they
aif~hesitated. Then as u shower Of
something fine, white and hard as hail
stones began to patter about their
heads they dashed down preoipitousiy
and gladly availed themselves Of its
protection

When the Plague Ragged.

Sir Walter Besant IN one of his books
says of the author OF Robinson Cru
soc" and journal Of the PIague,"
DE Foe was born in the year 1861. His
father lived in CTippleeate, where, as
we know. he had shop. The child,
therefore. was four years Of age in the
plague year. A child of four observes
great Deal and may remember n
great deal De Foe says: When any
one bought Joint OF meat he would not
take 1t oat of the butchers hard, but
took 1t OF The hooks himseh. On the
Other hand, the butcher would not
touch the msaey, bat put 1t into q Dot
run OF vinegar which he kept Tor the
purpose This must surely have been
seen by the child and remembered. It
happened IN his fathers shop before his
eyes,"

BASKET BALL.
An American Game With No Uncer
tRinty as to Its OriRin

te1nty ns to It's origin.
Basket ball as a recreative game is
unique in it's origin for two reasons: ::
First, it is our one positively sure,
home American productions; secondly,
tie name, date and place of it's au-
thorship are exactly known. Basket
ball was born in the year 1891 at
Springfield, Mass, and it's author was
James Naismith The story is short
enough to be interesting. In that town
is training school connected with
the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton and of course professors, among
them professor of psychology, who
is paid to teach the young ideas how
to think effectively. In one of his lec-
lures he called attention to certain con-
ditions upon which the brain could
with advantage be exercised and chal-
lenged his class to supply the require
ments to meet them. The conditions
were the invention of new game
which could be played indoors in a
limited area by defined and unaltera-
bic number Of contestants and adapta-
bic to both sexes. Upon this hypoth-
esis one Of his pupils, James Mai
smith, the same night evolved basket
ball. 1t was put into practice the next
day eXperimentally and found to meet
the conditions and limitations laid
down by the professor admirably. But
it had more than an academic value,
as it's spread as one Of our most ap-
preciated pastimes attests.-Illustrat-
ed Sporting News.

THE SAMOYEDS.
A MOngolinn Race Tint Sometimes
nesorts to Cannibnlinm

A MOngolinn Race That Sometimes
Resorts to Cannibalisn.
Samoyeds, race Of MongoIians in
habiting the shores of the arctic ocean,
maintain themselves by hunting and
fishing. They make use of the same
implements In bone and stone, besffes
cherishing the same superstitions, as
were current in the stone age among
the inhabitants of western Europe.
They clothe themselves In reindeer
skins. In fine weather they wear the
hair outside, and when it is wet the
tunic is reversed. This interesting race
Is gradually dying out owing partly to
the scourge of smallpox which makes
ravageS among them and also to their
fondncss for raw spirits, which leads
them to degradation and misery, as the
Russian merchants take advantage Of
this to cheat them when bartering for
valuable skins and walrus teeth. In
dupe them that the Samoyeds some
times are reduced to state of famine
and have recourse to cannibalsm. This
seems to account for the name Samo-
yed, which was given them by the
Russians and which signifies in their
language self eating. Every year in
mid-Ient these queer looking people
travel down in their reindeer sledges
from Archangel to st. Petersburg and
take up their abode temporarily on the
frozen river Neva, where they build
themselves circular huts composed Of
a framework of poles, over which are
stretched reindeer skins. Here they
traffic for the products Of civilization.

Better Than None.

When now famous actor was q
young man he was one day, while driv-
ing. asked by pedestrian how to get
to Il certain village.
You co. said the young actor,
down this road, and then you turn to
the left, and afterward-but l am 60
Ing i'll that direction myself. Will you
get in and let me drive you?"
"Oh, I suppose So" said the stranger.
Poor company is better than none"
lie climbed up and took his seat. He
was tall and thin, with very gruff,
rude manner.
The actor tried to entertain him and
to get him to talk, but he would say
little. Once he drew out q we'll filled
case, selected cigar and returned the
case to his pocket again. He was in
sufferable.
The young man whipped up his horse

How about that road to the left that
/ was to take?" exclaimed the stranger
suddenly. "Ain't we come to It yetY

BnshfuIncss.
BaShfulncSS is natural to youth.
"hodesty is the graceful calm, virtue
or maturity; bGshfulness the charm Of
vivacious YOUTH" and unless a young
man takes advantage of opportunities
Of entering society he will retain ian
air OF bashfulness, which is in reality
the want Of habitual intercourse with
the world (Waverley) AS long ago as
1870 Aschsm wrote that eff young
gentleman be bashfr1il and soon blush
they call him babishe and Ill brought
UP thyng." Deficient social education
is therefore cause Of bashfulness.
Habit also predisposes to 1t. A mere
indispositlon to exert oneself, INDUCED
in for too long time, may eventually
result in confirmed bashfulness. This
indifference may be due to want of
sympathy with the surroundings or
may have its origin In unaIloyed self
fshness-for many bashful men are ex.
tremely selffsh-or may be due to van
ity.-CassellS.

Washington Named 1t,

The question, "Who named the EN-
pire StateT' is often asked, but seldom
properly answered. General Washing
ton is the man to whom that and many
other honors belong. In his reply to
the address Of the common council Of
New York city" the great general said:
"T pray that heaven bestow it's choicest
blessings on your city; that well reg.
ulated and beneficial commerce may
enrich your citizens. and that your
state, ut present the seat OF empire,
may set such examples Of wisdom aud
liberality rs shall have tendency to
strengthen and give q permanency to
the Union Mt home and credit and re-
spectability abroad"
This Is, OF course, IN tnferent1al al-
fusion, but was the origin OF New
York's popular name nevertheless.
