Looking Down His Own Throat.

One of the quaintest reasons put for
ward for the origin of squirting was
that given by a parent to Harold
Grimsdale, who read a paper before
the Childhood society on the detection
of imperfect condition of eyesight- 4
boy had swallowed a large sugar aim
ond, and it was owing to his attempts
to locate its position in his throat that
the squint had developed. If taken in
time squint was durable. but too often
parents neglected the symptoms and
only scolded their children for bad
habit. Short sight was entirely a dis
ease of civilization, being absent In

A CURIOSITY OF LUNACY.
Periodicity of Mania by Which the
Patient Lives Three Lives.


There is a special form of mental dis
ease, first described in France, whose
definite character is given to it by its
periOdicity, and hence it is called folie-
circuIaire In it there are three sections
of the mental circle that the patient
moves in-viZ, elevation, depression
and sanity-and in this round he
spends his life, passing out of one into
the other, for it is. when fully estab-
lished, a very incurabIe disease.
The patient takes an attack of mania,
during which he is joyous. restless.
troublesome, extravagant and often
vicious. He eats voraciously, sleeps
little and never seems to tire. His
temperature is a degree or so above
the normal, his eye is bright and Glis-
tening. he is enamored of the other sex.
he shows diminished self control and
no common sense.
This lasts for few weeks, or Il few
months more commonly, and then he
passes sometimes gradually and some
times rather suddenly into a condition
Of depression. during which he is slug
gish, dull, looking differently, dressing
differently, eating differently, fearful,
unreliant and sedentary in habits.
This state will last a few weeks or
months, and the patient will brighten
up into what seems recovery and is to
all intents and purposes in his normal
state This again lasts for a few
weeks or months, and he gradually
gets morbidly elevated. You find he is
passing through every minute mental
phase and habit he did at first. De-
preston follows AS before, and then
sanity. and this round of three states
Of feeling, of intellect, of volition and
Of nutrition, goes on. circle after circle,
till the patient dies. He lives three
lives.-HOspital.

CONVICTED Of
RAISING 4
BILL
Negro Who Made So Certih-
cate Look Like $40 is
Found Guilty.

Fred. Mobiles, a. negro, who has the
appearance of being an artist in rails
ing money or rather increasing the
amount of a silver certificate, was ar
raigned in the United States court
yesterday and convicted upon the
charge of having raised a 50 silver
certificate until it had the appearance
of $40 certificate.
The bad money was in evidence in
court and showed that whoever did
the work had a knowledge Of that
class of workman ship necessary to
increase the purchasing power of sill
yer certificates.
Mobiles was arrested in the city sew
eral months ago. He was employed
as a laborer on building under con
structiOn and was practically a
stranger here. Going into a saloon
on Tarragona street it is alleged that
he presented the $40 raised certificate
and after making a small purchase
secured the change and left. The
bartender remembered him. however.
and when it. was discovered that the
certificate had been raised from 81 to
$50 he was located and arrested.

Quoting an aillicit still in Holmes

SOME SMALL
FORTUNES MADE
IN WHEAT
They Unloaded Early in
Morning at High Prices
of Day Previous.
MARKET THEN DROPPED, BUT
RALLIED AT CLOSE AND is
STILL ABOUT THE DOLLAR
MARK-BoARD OF TRADE GAL
LERIES CROWDED.

Chicago, May 14,-Many took small
fortunes on the board of trade to-day
by quietly unloading wheat at the
high prices of yesterdays extraordi-
nary bull movement. The pit was
less spectacular and the great crowds
in the galleries waited in vain fo.'
pandemOnium like yesterdays. De
cember touched dollar at opening.
and then dropped to 81. July sympa-
thiZed, but both recovered and closed
close to yesterdays final figures.
Previous to the opening traders
waited with bated breath the sound
of the gong. Uncertainty as TO what
course the market would take held
traders spellbound. KhOse who look
ed for higher prices based their OK
pectations on an advance of l 1-2c in
the price of wheat on the Minneapolis
curb and on continued cold weather
in the spring wheat territory. A de-
cline of over a penny a bushel for
wheat at Liverpool furnished sufici-
ent reasons on the part of other trad
ers that prices on the local board had
reached the climax, at least for the
present.

COUNCIL HELD
A SPECIAL
SESSION
At Noon Yesterday and Took
Steps Regarding the
City Deposits.

A special meeting of the City Coun-
Gil was held yesterday at noon, with
Mayor Pro TEN Maura presiding. The
meeting was for the purpose of con-
sidering the bill introduced in the
legislature providing for the placing
of city money in whatever bank that
might give the highest rate of inter
est for these deposits.
The council objected to some of the
provisions of this measure, and it was
the consensus of opinion that it would
be a detriment to the city. The bill
was published in The Journal Sunday
morning and it was the first time that
the councilmen became acquainted
with all its provisions.
After some discussion a bill was
presented which was more satisfac-
tory, and this was adopted, with the
request that it be taken to Tallahas-
see by Alderman Yonge and the rep
resentatives there requested to sub
stitute it for the one now before the
legislature.
Alderman Yonge left yesterday af-
ternoon for Tallahassee, carrying with
him the proposed measure. and also
a copy of tue proceedings of the cOun-
Gil.
The Other Meeting.
Owing to the fact that the Repub-
lican party was not prepared to sub.
nit the names of its nominees for
the various city offices to be voted
on June 4, the council agreed to meet
again at o'clock last night for this
purpose, but at that hour there was
no quorum.
