EpOn the question whether Arthur was
a historic parsonage or only the Gre
alton of an early chronicler. Doctor
Somner, who is acknowledged the fore
most living authority On the subject,
does nots7committ <l1fmse1fsin his almost
exhaustive study, published in 1891.

'Whether real or NEUROLOGICAL, the
imposing parsonage of King Arthur
has become immortal; he lives on in
song and tradition, and many place.
name throughout Britain testifes to
his renoWn.''
Milton, Temple and Littleton, not to
mention some lesser students of
Anglo-Saxon literature, we're of opin-
ion that the valiant hero, his round
table and his doughty knights belong
10 mythology. This opinion was based
upon the fact that neither Gildas nor
Bede, two of the earliest English
chroniclers, mentions Arthur. On the
other hand, Hume who may not satis-
}y every student as an authority, was
willing to accept the assertion in Cax-
toms preface to his edition of Sir
Thomas Malorys ''Morte d'Arthur,"
that Arthur was real British King.
Malory's work is known to have
been completed Gin the ninth year of
the reign of King Edward w." or 1869
70. Caxton printed the book in 1885,
some years after he had set up his
press in Westminster, and consequent
fv ,o+ 60
lar with the knights sources. Even
the most gullible to-day would not ac-
cept the "Morte d'Arthur" as a truth
ful narrative, but the fact that Arthur
Is surrounded by such extravagant ro-
nance and made the hero of a mani
fest fiction does not invalidate a
theory Of his reality.
The apparent starting point of the
Arthurian legend is to be found in the
History of the Britons;" written in
the twelfth century by Geofrey of
Monmouth, who died soon after his
conservation as Bishop of St. Asaph
Geofrey is said to have founded his
remarkable chronicle upon the history
written by Nennius, but it must first
be proved that the Nennius manu-
scripts are veracious before Arthurian
students will accept Arthur as a real
being.
Nennius, of whom "Historia Brito-
mum" twenty-nine manuscripts are re-
ported to exist, refers to Arthur in
this way:
Then it was that the magnani-
nous Arthur, with all the kings and
military force OF Britain, fought
against the Saxons. The first
battle in. which he was engaged was
at the mouth of the river Glein; the
second, third, fourth and fifth were on
another river, by the Britons called
Duglas, in the region LINUS. The
sixth on the river Bassas. The seventh
in the wood Celidon> The eighth near
Guinuion Castle, where Arthur bore
the image of the Holy Virgin Mother
of God upon his shoulders, put the
Saxons to flight, and pursued them
the whole day, with great slaughter.
The ninth was at the City of the
Legion, which they call Cair Lion. The
tenth was on the banks Of the river
Trat Treuroit. The eleventh was on
the mountain Breguoin; which we call
Cat ,Bregion. The twelfth was asmost
severe contest, when Arthur pene.

CURES FOR HYSrERIA
SURGEONS OCCASIONALLY HAVE
- TO. PRACTICE DECEPTION.
Lives of Patients Saved by Gratifying
Their Sometimes Humorous Whims
Young Girls Peculiar Deiusion
: Cleverly Cured.

According to, Detroit surgeon,
there are many sane persons who, be-
lleving that they are threatened with
some dangerous disease, insist on un-
dergoing severe operations in order
that their lives may be saved.
We do not really perform these
operations" he explains in the News
Tribune, but have assisted at many
Imaginary ones to crafty the Whim of
a patient suffering from some form of
hysteria.
we had young girl here year
ago with a 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 automaton.
Il had watched her do this many
times, and one, day I asked her why
she continued it, to which she replied
that there was string in her head
which pulled it from side to side, and
that until it was cut she would have
40 rest.
This remark gave me an idea, and
J. asked her if she would allow me to
examine her head. She was perfectly
willing, and after an inspection last
ing twenty minutes, l grayely an
nounced that she was quite right, and
that the only cure was slight opera
tion in order to sever the string.
"She clapped her hands with delight
like a child and declared that it was
what she had told several doctors,
but that they had all laughed at her.
Would I perform the operation at
once? I thought it better, however,
to defer doing SO until the morning,
after l had consulted the visiting sur
geons
Having explained the circum-
stances, the imaginary operation was
agreed upon, and the following morn
| ing the young woman. was led into the
1surgery, placed upon the operating
table and anaesthe-ics were admfnis-
tered. Part of her luxuriant brown
hair was cut off and a portion of the
back Of the head two inches above
the nape of the neck was shaved
smooth.
Then, in order that there should
be something to show for the gin
ary operation, the scalp was lanced
until the blood ran, leaving cut
about two and half inches in length.
This was bound but not strapped and
the patient was conveyed back to her
bed, where she remained for forty
minutes before returning to conscious
ness.
meantime had taken a piece of an
ordinary q Violin string about four
inches long and soaked it in water
> until it resembled raw sineW, the
object of this. of course, being. to show
the patient the actual string taken out
of her head. When she returned to
consciousness she was told how en-
tirely successful the operation had
been and shown the string which had
been the cause Of all her trouble. after
which she fell into natural sleep
and awoke perfectly restored. From
! that day to this she has been entirely
cured Of her hallucination.'

was Tree from them. The unanimous
opinion was that books undoubtedly spread
contag4on.
In many states the use of second hand
school books Is general. In Kentucky, for
instance, secondhand school books have
found their way into nearly every school
and so have smallpox and other contaglous
diseases Scarcely county In the state has
escaped the ravages of this disease and in
most cases the manner of It's approach il
mysteriously unknown.
Public-spirited medical men in Cincinnati
declare the fndiscriminate use of second
hand school books is a constant menace to
the public health. Books are considered one
of the best natural cultures known for dig
ease germs and no mode of sterilization will
cleanse them. To thoroughly fumigate il
would be necessary to subject each leaf
to the process. which would naturally take
SO much time and be 50 expensive that II
would be cheaper to buy new books than
to sterilixe an old one.
