of This Form of Mental and
Physical Derangement,


In a paper read before the congress
of French alienists at Grenoble DR..
CASTOR Lalanne pointed out that
anxiety is a disturbance which is ex-
pressed by the entire being. The ex-
citing causes are sometimes physical
and sometimes psychical, and the
symptoms manifested are both phys
ical and mental. The physical symp-
toms comprise cold feelings and chills
of the scalp and body, general lassi-
tude, inco-ordinaton Of voluntary
movements far more apparent; than
real emotional eoloring Of speech, and
vertigo, which is dependent upon vaso-
motor cerebral disturba noes, or upon
digestive troubles In the anxious
states there are always circulatory
troubles. such as accelerated heart beat,
irregularity Of the hearts action,
heightened arterial tension and cold
ness of the extremities. Respiratory
disturbances are also present
The psychical symptoms Of anxiety
include various degrees of vague dread
and apprehensiveness. often taking
definite forms, in which case they are
designated as "phobias" or "obessions
of fear" weakening the capacity Of at,
tention and Of memory, and a tend

Anenone Facts.


Naturalists have duly recorded that
that if sea anemone be divided in
halves longitudinally new animal will
in time be reproduced by each half, as
suming the anemone is kept in pure sea
water. An old zoologist relates how he
watched an anemone which somehow
or other had contrived to half swallow
one Of the valves of an oyster shell.
Practically the shell struck in its giz-
zard and gradually cut its way down
through the soft tissues Of the anem-
one until it halved the animal as by
partition. Perfect reproduction of
two anemones through the division Of
one was noted to be the result Of this
accident. Even fragment or two Of
an anemone body left attached to its
rock may in due season reproduce a
new body.-London News.

Among the numerous superstitions
Of the Cossacks there is none stronger
than the belief that they will enter
heaven In better state If they are per-
sonally clean at the time they are killed.
Consequently before an expected battle
they perform their toilets with scrupu-
lous care, dress themselves in clean
garments and put on the best they
have. This superstition Is not confined
to the CossacEs alone, but is widely
prevalent in all branches Of the Rus

Cut rates on pianoe You have
heard of cut prices on groceries,
but cut prices on pianos,-how is it
possible you ask. That lie just it.
Before such thing could be effect
ed there must have been a combin-
alton of very unusual conditions.
In the first place it means buy
ing in largequantities, getting out
of the small way of doing business.
It me ans the cutting out of every
useless aud unnecessary expense.
1t means the shipment of pianos
without boxes In special cars which
saves big sums on freight charges.
Then it means tbs selling of pi
amos so excellent and satisfactory,
that the public demands them.
We have accomplished just these
things. We buy for the larg st
and busiest stores on the Pacific
Coast. in Portland, Astoria, Salem,
Pendleton and Eugene, Ore; San

We buy the best pianos that

Hindu Love Tales.

Four charming love stories that will be
absolutely novel TO most real ers are pub
lished by Mr.. F. W. Balm with the rather
clumsy title "A Digit of the Moon" C. P.
Putnam's sons. The author explains
deliberately what his title means. but that
does not make up for the lack OF attraction
in the name. Our knowledge OF Sanskrit
literature does not 60 80 far as to enable
us to determine whether these tales are
transla tons or adaptations from real orr
ginals or simply inventions Of the author
after Hindu models. In either case they
are delightful and introduce new ideas
and new forms OF sentiment TO Westerners.
The rendering, il it he one, ia a real trans
lation Of Eastern thoughts and phrase
ology into the corresponding Western
ideas. There Ia much iteration, which
seems an essential part OF the Hindu mar
rative, but 1t is not allowed to become weari-
some. There is very flowery language,
but it seems kept within the bounds that the
West admits, with intentional exceptions
now and then. There are passion and senti-
ment and chivalry, but nothing that prudery
can object to, which leads us TO believe
that the author has stopped short whore
descriptions become too Ingenious or Ian
guage too coarse. 1t is an image Of Hindu
love. love refined to the Western standard,
that he presents.
That does not spoil the stories. They
are delicate, vivid and told in beautiful
English. They show Hindu life and thought
in the true light, a thing worth doing in
view of the mushy mysticism and theosophi-
cal gibbering that have obsc,red it in this
country.

DR.. Sturgls on the Arts,

The popular lectures delivered by Rus
sell Sturgis, PHI d., before the Art Institute
of Chicago are published in a handsome
volume called -The Interdependence OF the
Arts of Design" by A. c. McClurg Il Co.,
Chicago. The lectures were illustrated by
pictures, apparently thrown on the screen,
and these in this volume are indicated by
process pictures on rather small scale.
The audience for whom the lectures were
provided consisted Of art students. which
will account for the somewhat elementary
exposition OF some points.
The prominence attained by DR.. Sturgis
as a writer on architectural subjects gives
interest to his views on the sister arts
Whether we agree or not with his point of
view or his deductions. his talks are sug-
gestive and worthy of attention. These
lectures will be found very readable.

The Language Of Old Provence.

There was happy time when there was
no grammar or dictionary for old French
or Provencal and when a college student,
like the late James Russell Lowell browsing
in tho college library, could pick up ro-
nance or a troubadour's song and spell it
out by himself with the feeling Of the dis
coverer of new world. Then came Diez
with his grammar and opened up the
fascinating comparison Of the r ,mlnce
tongues. Somewhere in the seventies NJ.
Bracelet wrote little grammar of old
French, painfully unscientifc book in
modern eyes. but "a fascinating as a ro-
nance; book that get people to reading
old French. There was rush for the
Song of Roland and the old metrical
romances; there was q renewed study OF
the troubadour poetry; there was even an
outbreak in French and English verse Of
the old poetic forms, ballades. rondeaux.

Then tho philologists swooped down on

ments to the errdition Of the editors and

But the scholarly modern specialists nave
worked their will with the philology and
have made their domain as unattra'tive
to the general reader as that OF Egyp-
tian hieroglyphics. The newly established
science of phonetics has taken an especial
delight in shutting out the vulgar eye from
the sacred preserve. 1t has discovered that
old Father Diez knew nothing about sound

1t can hardly be used as a grammar.
No doubt in this Prof. Grandgent mas

had no intention Of doing. But DO not
our best scholars owe something to the
public? Was it not worth while to make
the study OF Provenoal attra ctive to more
people than can digest the condensed
psmmcan of this volume? There is no
hint of Blondel singing under his kings
window, or of the woful lady who had to eat
her lovers heart, or Of Bertrand de Born's
wrath in these dry bones Of language.
The occasional reference to other books,
not easily accessible, for examples and
theories seems a mistake, very few
more pages would contain these and make
reference needless. The publishers have

The story sets forth in very interesting
manner to what enormous risks a gentle
man in London exposes his social reputa-
ton when he enbarlis in the retail grocery

profligate tradesman who had gone to the
races, got drunk and been thrown out Of his
wagon, with fatal results, on the way home.
He assumed the name Of Jollyman. put up
the sign -Jolyman's Grocery Stores"
and on advice, though against his own in
clination, hired brass band for the grand
opening. He was very successful. His
manners pleased people, and he sold good
stuff. Jolyman's teas and Jollyman's jams
achieved very considerable reputation.
1t was through being in the grocery line
that he made the acquaintance Of Mrs.
Cross and her daughter, and was enabled
