Of hysteria.
I'VE had young girl here a year
ago with most obstinate attack OF
hysteria which took a very curious
form. She would never lie down in
her bed. but invariably sat bolt up-
right with her back against the foot
rail-, constantly turning her head from
side to side like an automation.
Il had watched her do this many
times. and one day I asked her why
she continued 1t. to which she replied
that there was string in her head
which pulled 1t from side to side.
and that until it was cut she would
have no rest.
This remark gave me an idea, and
asked II she would allow me to ex
anime her head. She was perfectly
willing. and after an inspection last
Ing 20 minutes gravely announced
tnat she was quite right, and that the
only cure was slight operation in
order to sever the string.
She clapped her hands with de-
light like child and declared that it
was what she had told several doc.

however, to defer doing so until the

be something to show for the mag.

day to this she has been entirely

VALUE OF VACATIONS.

At th season of the year few men
stop to consider the rel value of a
vacation, or at least the physical
need of putting on the brakes snd
running at lower rate of speed than
generally marks the activity Of daily
endeavor.
There is much wisdom in the gen
tie satire o. Stevenson, who in his
"Apology for I'llers," says:
perpetual devotion to what q man
calls his business is only to esq tain
ed by perpetual neglect of many
other things. Aud it il not by any
means certain that & mans business
is the most important thing he has
to do. To all impartial estimate it
will seem clear that many OF the
wisest, most virtuous and beneficial
parts that are to be played upon the
theatre of life are filled by gratuitous
performers, and pass among the
world as phases of idteness."
Vacations are far from being a
waste OF time, they are rather All
&c 1nomy to the men and women vino
daily ply confining av0cations or
lead the treadmill lives Of constant
mployment. 1t is not pos i3le for
every man to take vacat on, that
consis 5 of a trip and sojpurn at ex-
pensive resorts, but everybody can
find little time for changes, even
the week end visits to the resorts
close at hau3.
There is little to be gained by a
strenuous life when the oppressive
heat makes heavy drafts upon the
physi al being.

SILVER RDOLLARS AND
"MONEY.'

The House refused to authorize
the secretary of the treasury to coin
abrssed silver dollars into dimes,
quarters and halves, and the demo.
Gratis applauded Champ Clark when
he declared that if he were secretary
of the treasury he would put all the
silver dollars in the treasury in cir
cuIation.
The total circulation on June ]
was $2,743, ,6S1, ,110. This would be
ample if the small denominations
were in good supply. On June the
small notes in use stood as foiloWs:
Paper National
One dollar .$2a2. 12O,12l $344, 49,
Two dollars. 48, ,O15,847 154 SOC
Five dollars-3s3, ,243,272 76,498,s 81
There are many silver dollars in
the treasury vaults, but their circula,
ton is limited, and in some sections
Of the country disliked. They are
cumbersome, and the government
no longer pays the freight on them.
The truth is, the country needs
more small currency-more notes Of
five dollars and less The want
of small denominations is widely
| affecting trade and the many are
seriously inconvenienced. The banks
dislike silver and from the scarcity O
small notes tie-up in some branche

The south will not suffer, however
for it is willing to use silver, esp|
cia!ly in the picking season. There
is no prejudice in dissection agains
silver dollars. Tne southern people
favored the coinage of the standard
dollars and they are ready to us'
them freely today. This is not th'
case in the effete east, and even thu
middle west dislikes the dollars haset

An Impulse to Revolt.

The devotion of millions OF honest
men to the republican party is still
ardent, but asclear arassunshinear are the
indications that multitudes of them
are experiencing an impulse to revolt
and to turn against the party which
permits such abuse of it's name and
power. In the years just following
1856 there was a mighty dis!ocatiOn,
distinction and disruption of party
lines and ties, and the new republic
can party gathered its strength from
the best and the brave5t in the old
organizations 1t was party of
choice men. Signs are not wanting
that similar shuttle and rearrange-
ment are near at hand. One of them
is the election last year in Pennsyl-
vania of democratic treasurer by
republican votes, and the probable
selection this year of a republican for
the governors place on the demo-
cratic state ticket. The good men
of all the parties again are focking
togethe; and woe to the republican
party if, by refusing to reform itself,
it shall repel them instead of attract
