These men are supplied with what looks like a real meer- scnaum pipe, or rather a number of them, for which they pay S7.50 a dozen.

Entering a business place. these two supposed tars offer one of these pipes, which has been smoked once, to give it a realistic odor, for $l0, saying they are stranded and need some money to reach their ships. which are, let ns say. in New York larhor.

These two men have travelled the country fer several years on this fake, securing a fat return from tho gullibillty of the public When not en- gagged in salesmanship both are well dressed and sport valuable and nu- merous diamonds.

 When one has found a suitable little playmate, preferably child of be- tween and 8 years of age, and com mences to tickle 1t, what happens? In the first place, replies Dr. Louis Rob- inson, famed for his researches into zooology, it becomes quite evident that unless the child fears or dislil1es at- tempts to tickle 1t 1t there is no re- sponse except resentment at an unwel- come interference. But as soon as a satisfactory understanding is estab- lished the little one laughs and wrfg- gles with delight. Although each movement Is an elaborate avoidance of contact, there is a continual invita- tion to repeat the tickling. Practl- cally all children, in fact, both by word and act, show plenty of evidence of enjoyment of the game, and invite it's continuance indefinitely. Hence, one may say that there exists dis tinct appetite for tickling. This, upon close examination proves to be as marked and real as any of the animal appetites Gall of which, by the way, have an immediate bearing on the con t1nuance or the lnulVldudi UT LII llio race) The appetite for tickling has
 in common with the other appe- tites. that there are times when de- sire is absent and provocation fails to take effect. Like the reflexes asso- ciated with the gustatory nerve, which makes part of the appetite for food, the activity of which depends upon whether we are hungry or the reverse, the, reflexes that accompany ticklish- ness are intermittent.
 IIn addition to this intermittency, ~ttcklishness possess one noteworthy and essential characteristic which may roughly be compared with the rapid alterations of the electric current. The desire is positive and negative by turns. Contact is wished invited and

Intellectual discrimination, and @ free- dom of will in the actor Insanity in many cases, resulting from shattered nerves or lesion of the brain operates to destroy the power to refrain from being dominated by delusion, although the defendant may fully understand he is doing wrong and will be punished for the act The case of Hadfleld, who was tried by Lord Kenyon and defended by Frs kine, In the last century, was a conspie- uous instance of this kind He deliber- ately shot at King George under delu- sion with the declared purpose of being executed for the act. but was acquitted by the jury, and properly so.
 Twenty experts testified in the case of Guiteau. who pleaded insanity when charged with the murder of President Garfield in the year 1881. They were about equally divided in opinion as to the extent of of the prisoners irrationallty, but many of the most distinguished alienist expressed the belief that he was afflicted only with emotional insanity" which Is mere explosion of wickedness and passion, and finds little or no sup port in Judicial authority, though some times recognized by juries under the guise of so-ealled "unwritten law" This species of riotous passion was figurative- ly characterised by Dr. Gray in the Gui- A'ed AAieSA ao uii tiiiOllbildi blOTIii anu more recently by an alienist In the Thaw trial as "brain storm" But such figures of speech mean little or nothing as a medium of communicating solid facts, any more than the ancient meta phor declaring that "anger Is ashort madness" Guiteau was a paranoiac. and would probobly have been pronounce ed irresponsibly insane had he killed a cabman instead of a King"

There Is time of twilight which is not clearly eother the night or the day Nevertheless the issue was often put to Juries to pass on this question and they did so with appropriate justice
 The chief difficulty in trial of the alleg- ed instance is to distinguish temporary or emotional insanity from that disease of the brain which dominates the mind and will so that the victim passes be- yond the power of self control. Insane hospitals are filled with homicidal and other maniacs of this well known type, and 1t lies with the true alienst to dis cover them and to give courts and juries intelligent reasons for their conclusion.
 Let us do away with hired experts who are paid enormous sums for cultivatlng their opinions to accord with the pre- judiee of the party hiring them. Sub stitute for them, where possible, com- mission, say of three or more distinl gnished alienists, who are paid by the state and appointed by the court, and whose experience and learning will Jus tify juries in placing credence in their fair and unprejudiced opinions.

negro slaves, and continued to capture Africans in their native land by the ship load and sell them to the southern states, to the West Indies and to Brazil.
 In 1S4S, Massachusetts, for reasons of her own not necessary here to name null lifted the above cited proviso by the fol- lowing act of her legislature:
 No judge of any court of record of this commonwealth and no justice of the peace shall hereafter take cogniZance or grant a certificate in cases that may arise under the third section of an act of Congress passed February F, 1793, and entitled, An act respecting fugitives from justice and persons escaping from service of their masters to any person who claims any other person as a fugitive slave within the jurisdiction of the commonwealth
 MT Jefferson, in the -.entucky Reso- lutlons." advised Kentucky to nullify the alien laws and the sedition laws of Con- gress, because they were manifestly in conflict with the federal constitution and were enacted for the express purpose of overriding the authority of that organic law. Jenerson years afterwards, explained his position. He said while nullification placed the state in resistance to Congress the remedy was legitimate. If the state lived, liberty would survive, 1t mattered not what became of the confederation. On the other hand, if the state perished, the cOnIeuefaIlon could not perpeludle liberty. This was in 179S.
 In 1882 Calhoun advised South Carolina to act upon the line of argument laid down by Jefferson. He took the excessive ly refined mental position that South Carolina had the established right to re- sist the federal government to the extent of want of right in that government to enter the state. Upon this refinement of logic he contended, that the federal au- thority couId not de facto or de jure dis solve the Union. An unconstitutional law, such as the tariff of 1928, could not dissolve a union ot equal states parties to the confederation, by creating favored states and degraded states. South Car olna had her rights in the Union, under the compact of confederation, and Con gress, by unlawful acts, could not con- fiscate those rights.
 When the sixteen states that elected Lincoln, in 1860, adopted the Massachu- setts act of 1S43, enlarged and intensified in the meaning, they nullihed the fed eral government in every department leg islative, executive and judicial. But each

 17S7 Massachusetts had already practi- cally abolished slavery and other northern states had become convinced of the un- profitableness of the institution. These states were selling their slaves rapidly to the South Carolina and Georgia plant CTS. The southern purchasers demanded the fugitive slave proviso in self-protec- ton. and got 1t without difficulty. Here 1t is verbatim:
 'No person held to service or labor in one state, escaping into another shall, in conseauence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due" (Art. iv., Sec. ?, Par. 3.
 The proviso was necessary to prevent resale of fugitive slaves indefinitely No state objected to this proviso because 1t was a condition precedent to the forma- ton of the Union.
 Massachusetts accepted the fugitive slave proviso and continued to sell to South Carolina and Georgia her profitless
