Curing Drunkenness Without the Pa
dents knowledge Has Been
Proven a Success.

Can inebriety be cured by sug-
gestion? asks Public Opinion.
This is a question which has been
asked many times and satisfae-
torily answered in the Affirmative.
But the question of practicing
suggestion while the patient
sleeps is a different proposition.
and, therefore, a recent article in
the journal des Debats of Paris
is of interest. The experiments
in question were conducted by the
well-known psychologist, DR.. Paul
Farez. ''The man under observa-
ton refused all offers of treat
ment, but Notwithstanding his re-
fusal, against his will and un-
known to him, the man was cured
and has remained so for four
years. The patient was % years
Of age, married, of sound cOnsti-
tuition and average health. He
commenced drinking when he was
II years of age, and his wife had
married him in order to reform
him. After his marriage, how
ever, he drank as before. His daily
ration was two quarts of wine
with his meals, and during the day
several glasses of brandy, rum,
vermOuth, absinthe, etc. Ordi.
narily the man was quiet, bur
when he had taken more absinthe
than usual he became violent,
abused his wife, broke everything
within reach, and surrendered
completely to his frenzy. The day
following this delirium the man
remembered nothing, but when
told of what he had done he went,
promised to become sober, etc.
The scenes, however, were soon re.
peated.
"Dr. Farez decided to try, with
the approval of the family of the
patient, suggestion during nat
Ural sleep. The treatment took
place four or five times per week,
and, although the patient did not
know what was going on, there

No Clue to Motive.
With nothing but the letter of advice and
the note written by Mrs. QuiggIe to her
husband to guide. them, the police think
that the husband and wife had misunder-
standing about something and that the
episode may not have had anything to do
with the tragedy The condition of the
man, related by Mrs. Wilcox, and ms
statement that he~~would rather be dead
than made to suffer so much are taken as
indicating that he had brooded over ms

plated ending his sufferings by killing NM

Education and the Newspaper.

From the haheas tuy 1l1nes.
The introduction of the newspaper as
part of the curriculum of the history class
of the Northwestern University simply
means that Prof. James regards it as es-
sential that the student of history should
know what is going on about him.
The point of view cannot be successfully
opposed. Culture can hardly be founded
on familiarity with current happenings. but
no more It rest on a basis OF which
todays knowledge forms part, The
present and the past complement each 9TH

of this period requires a knowledge of for
mer times, and to appreciate historical pre-
cedents there is no such light comes

of later history. are presented as In no
other possible form.
To know the world there is no such me-
dunn as to live it. Goethe said that no
one after him could know Europe well
as he who had lived through the time of
Frederick the Great and until after the
death of Napoleon. Modern histories have
been largely written through the records
of newspapers, and this is particularly true
of American history. Files of old newspa-
pers are worth their weight i'm gold to the
historian, for the facts they contain and
the prevailing manners and sentiment they
disclose. What charm is there in antiquity
that is not inherent in today?
To those who are in the world, the world
OF today is of chief Importance. 1t is no
longer regarded as an index OF mental
superiority to slight the knowledge gained
from newspapers. To keep I'm touch with

EDUCATED CROW A ZOO PET.
Bird Speaks the Hindoostanee as Well
as the English Language.

From the London Express.
Tommy the educated crow who has ar
rived at the zoo, has already astonished the
officials and visitors by his remarkable pro-
ticiency in speech.
He is a fine specimen of the well-known
Indian talking bird, the larger hill mynah.
and he was presented to the Geological So
ciety by Maj. J. T Calvert. The marvel of
the officials is that such treasure was
given away. The bird is not only talker
he is lingust. for he can speak Hindoo-
stance as well as English.
The zoo authorities would not place him
In one of the aviaries. His linguistic talents
would have been wasted there. Instead he
has cage to himself in the insect house
and the following list of his favorite Eng
lish phrases is posted up outside:
TOMMY
Tommy is naughty.
The Lord bless you.
What are you talking abcutf
I'm surprised you.
Whats the matter with your
Hows your lver2
What's the row. eh?
Really. you don't say
Well, Tommy, my boy.
You'll break your bicycle.
WHO nre you:
At the end of the list are some OF his
favorite Indian speeches.
The bird has a mannerism of holding his
head sideways when he is spoken to,
though listening. and for the greater part
of the day his beak is half open, giving one
the idea that he is ever ready to turn on his
eloquence.
1t is most curious to hold a conversation
with him, for If one of his phrases is re-
peated he will answer with another.
"How's your liver?" says a visitor, and
the bird answers. as though shocked: I'm
surprised at YOU,
If he hears the remark: THE Lord bless
YOU he is as likely as not TO reply:
"Really. YOU don't say Soi'
He is a member of the crow family and
for crow is a particularly dainty bird.
His favorite dish is a mash of potatoes,
carrots, eggs and boiled rice. He loves
meal-wor for the entree, however. and
takes a plentiful dessert of dried fruits,
bananas and grapes to finish. His voracity
is as prodgious his loquacity.
Shaped like a crow, his body is of shining
black. his legs and feet brownlsh yellow,
his long beak coral-hued and he has bright
yellow bars around his neck.
I'm surprised at you is his favorite ut
terance. He is always saying it-sometimes
with curious effect. Il is possible that the
uncouth manners of a silver-eared mesia.
handsome rainbow hued little bird from the
Himalayas, not much larger than spar
row which occupies the next cage, offend
him.
This bird is fed wood ants. and in or
der that the insects may not sting his
throat when he swallows them he squeeZes
them IN his beak and deliberately turns his
tail around and rubs on it the poisonous
fluid the ants eXude.
His tail feathers are stained through con-
slant repetition of this process. No wonder
Tommy says he Is surprised.

Said Her Husband Shot Her.

Before being removed to the hospital. Mrs.
Quigglc told those who gathered in the
room that her husband had shot her and
that there had been no trouble between
them. She was more interested in her
matter of discussing her domestic relations,
ptal soon as possible. The interior of
the room did not present conditions which
indicated that there had been any strug-
gle and Mrs. Wilcox says she heard no
talking in the room after the couple re-
turned home from the theater. 1t was not
until she aroused by the reports of the
revolver that she was aware of anything
wrong. Then she hurried to the room as
already stated, and summoned assistance
A hole burned in the sheet on the bed In
dicated to the police that the wife was in
bed when the first shot was fired. 1t is
thought that she sprang from the bed and
was upon her feet when the second bullet
was sent into her body. The third shot, it
is believed, was also intended for her but
1t did not take effect and was stopped when
it struck the plastering. Considering the
size of the hole that was burned in the
sheet, the police consider 1t fortunate that

This morning when the wife stated that
she knew nothing of her husband having
owned a revolver the police made an effort
10 trace the ownership of the weapon to
make certain that Quiggle, and not some
other person, had done the shooting. The
wounded woman declared her husband had
life or harming her. but the statements of
others caused the police to think that he
had contemplated the deed before he re-
turned from the theater last night.

ANACOSTIA FLATS.
Commissioner Macfar1and and Business
Men in Conference.

Commissioner Macfarland conferred In
formally in his office yesterday afternoon
with representatives Of the board of trade
and the Business Mems Association and the
Citizens Associations respecting the i'm
provement of the Anacostia and the reclaim
alton of its flats. President Oyster repre-
senting the Business Mems Associa: ion;
Mr.. NJ. /. Weller. chairman of the rivers
and harbors committee of the board of
trade, and Messrs. Thomas w. Smith, Evan
II. Tucker, j. NJ. Wood, DR.. ]. A Watson,
]. C. Leonard and w. F. GUIDE were pres
ent. President Cox of the Board of Trade
was out of town.
Commissioner Macfarland rehearsed the
efforts to improve the Anacostia and the
fats for commerce, health and beauty, espe-
cially during the past five years. Incl
Gentally he presented the different official
plans for the Improvement submitted by the
War Department, the Senate park com
mission and other authorities. He recalled
the urgent recommendations of the Com
missioners and the fact that Congress had
appropriated S1500O0 for the improvement
of the AnacOstia channel up to the navy
yard bridge. and up to two years ago had
appropriated 5000 for a map to be pre-
pared by the War Department and report
by the Department of Justice on the title
of the United States along the Anacostia.
for which Congress had been waiting. He
stated that upon inquiry he had learned
that the report and map would be pre-
SfHteu ~ 1olSleSS dt iHe opening OI the
session, that he believed there would then
he no further reason for delay, and that
then the entire community would support
the Commissioners in making special eff
fort 10 secure early action by Congress The
business men present stated that they
thought there ought to be- and would be-
just such a strong and general effort, and
that they believed that the bodies which
they represented and all other citizens or
saniza tons would stand by the Comms-
SioneIS.
Commissioners Ask for Suggestions.
Mr.. Macfarland asked for suggestions as
to what the next step should be. and
long informal talk about the different plans
and methods of proceeding followed. There
was a general agreement that the matter
should be pressed promptly and earnest
ly as possible before the appropriate COM
mittees of Congress, after being recon-
mended by the Commissioners, and also
that it might be well TO present a concrete
proposition in the shape of a bill authoriz-
ing the Commissioners to present to Con-
gress complete plan embodyng the best
features of the different plans which had
been presented heretofore, and with esti-
mates of cost up TO date, that Congress
might have something more definite than it
now has as a basis of action.
Those present expressed the hope that
favorable action will be taken by Congress-
if the citizens work harmonously under
the leadership of the Commissioners.
