INSENSIBLE TO PAIN,
WOAAN'S HYSTERIA

The following curious case OF anes-
thesfa. or physical insensibility. IS de-
scribed by Prof Pierre Janet in The
Major Symptoms OF Hysteria:"
"A young girl of about twenty had
met with a rather serious accident. She
feu through glass door, and a piece OF
glass cut into her right wrist Just be-
low the thenar eminence. The hem
orrhage was stopped. and the wound
had united fairly well when, a few days
after the accident. the young woman
presented herself in treatment She ex-
perienced a certain numbness in her
right hand. but no paralysis was pres
ent
she complained particularly Of a per-
sistent insensibility, most inconvenient
in the palm OF the hand: this slight
anesthesia about the fingers was in
fact complete at the level az the thenar
eIninence. The case was evidently one
Of a more or less complete severing
OF the median nerve. and especially
OF its superficial branches. But while
accepting the observation of the pa
tient we made a singular discovery.
She was hysterical. and on her en-
tire left side she was completely an
esthetic, OF which fact she had not said
a word.
THE physician joked her about IT:
How Is II. Miss, that you come here
complaining about an insensibility that
affects but a small portion of the palm
OF your right hand, while you do not
even notice the much larger insensibility
of the whole of your left side?' The
poor girl looked surprised and asham-
ed To our mind she might have re-
| piled to her doctor with much more as
| surance, and said: Be that as you
! think, sir, I came here 10 tell you what
ais me; IL is the insensibility of the
/ palm OF my right hand that troubles
me. and that of my left side has never
| give me any trouble. You are the doc
| tor; explain il as you like -

CONGRESS AT ITS WORK,
AS DEFINED BY WRITER

Every Senator and every member OF
the House was obliged to be present
at every session of the respective bodies
when not excused for cause by the
President; and absence for private busI-
ness matters was not a proper cause
for an excuse. When a person became
a member or was chosen a Senator. he
was supposed to devote all his time
and attention to the duties Of his posi-
ton while Congress was in session, and
his salary was. fixed to compensate him
for such services so that he might not
say he must depend upon his private
business for a living. All pairing OF
Senator's and members was forbidden.
but each was obliged to express him
self on every question submitted. and
vote accordingly.-Froms The Limit OF
Wealth, by Alfred Z. Hutchinson.

NOVEL WHICH is STIRRING
SOCIETY IN VIENNA

A novel. entitled THE God OF the
Christian ana the God Of the Jew" by
Count Adalbert Sternberg. has just been
published in Vienna It deals almost
exclusively with the fashionable world
OF the imperial city, and is being Gag
erly read by the leaders of society. The
incident around which all others in the

nobleman by an actres for whom he de-
serts wife and children, disposes of the
ancestral home and finally commits sui

unfortunate nObleman lost his fortune
wins from him also the actress. but.

alone are worth more than the money
which he advanced to the nobieman, he
takes these and restores the castle to

and the similarity of some of the char

who are known in Nienna's smart set

Operations Could Not Save

PHILADELPHIA, July 1s.-Out IN
Ind, an old woman
mourns the end Of one Of the uncounted
tro gedies Of disease. the death OF one OF
the most remarkable heroes of the
operating table in the annals Of modern
surgery.
He who died was a Phnadelphiaa,
Milton c. Hotto. His former home. at
250S North Twenty-ninth street. is a
place Of sorrow, where the details Of his
remarkable case were told
The stO-y has been verified by clinical
details OF the several operations In the

timony of physicians who treated him

court OF last resort.

The senses had been drugged to numb

that remained at the end was the in

He showed it to his family physician,

A prominent surgeon who Is familiar
with the case said that If the knife had
been applied skilfully and deeply in
those early days Milton Hotto might

Surgeons Warn Him.

AT first. after the operation, Hotto
was jubilant. The surgeons warned
him he must not be too optimistic.
Yours will be an exceptional case IL
there shall not be a second outbreak"
they said
II feel I am going to get better"
wrote the tongueless man by way OF
answer.
His mood changed a week later. and
doubt lay a heavy cloud upon him. He
went back to the hospital There was a
close examination, and the cancerous
growths were found in the great blood
vessels in his neck.
Other operations took place. 1t was
seen that the end was not far off

Last week, when his eye was dulier
than ever before; when his powers
seemed to be singing into a grave OF
insensibility, the message came:
The end is near.

current.

sickened and half choked him,
He went to the MedicO-Chirurgica
Hospital. and the first surgeon who
looked at the swollen tongue shook
his head.
"Cancer!" he said.
Hotto shambled forward as does
steer that has been pole-axed. The sur
geon knew what was coming and
caught him. He had pronounced many
another sentence OF death, and knew
just how the heart would contract In
agony. and how the death message
flashed suddenly to the brain would
send the senses into terror-shriekins
panic
After time had been given Hotto 20

told that the surgeons knife was the
only hope
SO the operating table was made
ready. Two soft-footed nurses and half
n dozen surgeons of varying fame and
skill looked on. while two masters OF
the knife bent over the white-sheeted
form on the glass table.
It was q bloody operation, and at the
end OF Il a human tongue was held
aloft that all might see how the niCo-
tine-bred cancer hardended and destroy
ed the soft red tissue.
