The Dreamy Mental state That Leads
to Murder or Suicide.

The Dreamy Mental State That Leads
4 Murder or Suicide.
In a paper on the criminal RESPONSE
bility of the alcoholic the medical OFF,
Ger Of Pentonville prison said that mo
one becomes mad when drunk who is
wholly sane when SOBER"
Referring to the dreamy mental state
of morbid drunkenness. the doctor said
that what ordinarily happened was
that after many years Of %intoxication
the individual acquired a peculiar u .
ceptibility to alcohol, SO that relatively
small doses led to more or less lengthy
dream states. in which the patient
might seem to speak and act pretty
coherently, though in reality he was in
a sort Of somnambulistic state and
knew nothing at all afterward Of what
he had done or had only a hazy recol-
lection of it. In one Of these phases
he will probably murder his family or
attempt suicide.
The admission Of morbid drunken
ness as a condition excluding full re-
sponsibility was especially desirable
In that 1t would further the trend of
public opinion to adopt preventive
measures against the criminal alco-
holic. When, therefore. the chronic
alcoholic had once shown the dispose
ton to dream states with impulsive
tendencies. especially bomicidal or sui
cidal, he ought to be dealt with on the
same footing as the impulsive epileptic
immune from ordinary punishment,
but unfit for ordinary freedom.-Lon.

husband In Thanksgiving. Also on the
third day a limited number of relatives
and friends are called In to witness
the first head shave.
The looms Of the home are decorated
for this occasion with green branches
Of either flr, cedar or spruce, to insure
fueng-suey. OF good luck, to the house,
Other ornamentations in homer of the
baby are long silk threads. bearing lit.
tie circles. squares. and hearts Of gold
and scarlet paper. These are %festocned
from the walls and are hung from the
ceiling. A few feet away the threads
are invisible and the gay scraps of pa
per appear to be floating in the air.
For the head shaving the guests arc
seated in a semicireie before the Joss.
The mother is carried to a seat of
honor to the right of the joss. and the
baby, swathed in yards of scarlet and
purple silk, is brought In on an ,elaho-

however poor. at least one banquet is
given in honor of the birth of a boy.
The banquet viands may be only rice
and a bit of salt fish. and there may
be only a half dozen or so present.
Nevertheless the feast is given, for it
is baby's right. and the rights of babies
are respected by oriental parents.-Les-

De I~nterested In Then, but Never De-
scend to Curiosity.
If you would have friends be inter.
'ested in them.
There is a difference between interest
and curiosity. Never be curious.
Interest asks nothing, but is glad OF
others joys and sorry for others mis-.
fortunes. Curiosity seeks to find more
than is written upon the surface, seeks
It for the purpose Of distribution, for
innocent Islander.
Ones friends like one to be interested.
They detest one who is curious.
To be interested in those n meets
needs but to wish them we'll.
To e the best Of those about US will
cause us to wish them well.
To our wellwishers we pour out our
Joys and sorrows. They are interested.
they understand.
The interested friend always under
stands. The curious acquaintance new
or sees through motives. The curious
one Is blinded by his own Interpretation
Of causes and his prejudiced view Of
results.
Don't, therefore, seek to know what
10 hidden. II your friend conceals
something from you he has a reason
for doing 1t. Prove your interest and
your lack of vulgar curiosity by trust
ing him in spite of the concealment.
Those who are truly interested and
never curious are surrounded by
friends.-Detroit Tribune.

nance of Two Worlds" which made
her name. was sent to the London
publishing house Of, Bentley. Hall

house. and his report condemned the

persuaded to send the manuscript: to
another publisher. He accepted it
eagerly and made a big fortune. out
of it and out Of her later novels.

A certain city in England sent a dep
