End of the Routc.

One cold. wintry morning. says a
writer in the Argonaut, a man of tall
and angular build was walking down
a steep hill at a brisk pace. A piece
OF ice under the snow caused him to
slip and lose control of his feet. He
began to slide and was unable TO
stop.
At n crossing halfway down he
encountered a large. heavy woman.
The meeting was sudden. and before
either realized 1t a collision ensued.
and both were sliding down-hill. the
thin man underneath, the fat vo-
man on top.
When the bottom of the hill was
reached. and the woman was trying
TO recover her breath and her feet,
these faint words were borne 10 her
ear:
Pardon me. madam. but you will
have to get of here. This is as far
as ! go"

HAD ARM CUT OFF
TO GAIN SYMPATHY.
Curious Mania Of Fsenehman
Who Puzzled Doctors With Sim.
uiatsd Disease.

A remarkable story has been re-
lated at the Academy OF Medicine by
DR.. Paul Dieulafoy, Of the case OF
a man who from a morbid desire to
attract attention and sympathy will
fully allowed the amputation OF an
arm for the sake of curing an imagi-
nary disease.
The subject enjoyed excellent
health, was intelligent and well-bred, 4,
and was employed In a government
office. where he enjoyed an excellent
reputation. When bis misfortunes
first began he was the centre of
friendly solicitude. That was few
years ago. At that time there sud-
denly appeared on his left arm
number OF raw sores. The man
consulted several physicians. Their
diagnosis was almost always differ
ent, and the treatment invariably
unsuccessful. The sores were so per-
sistent and rendered the poor fell
low so unhappy that a surgeon fin
ally suggested that he have the arm
amputated. The patient consented,
Three months later the sores ap-
peared on the right arm, and then
on the feet. The patient sought con-
sultatfon at the Hotel Dieu with DR..
Dieulafoy, one of the most celebrat-
ed practitioners In France.
The physician studied the case
thoroughly. He was forced to reject
one hypothesis after another until
one day In the course of an exami-
nation he noticed that the sores were
similar to those made by potash
burns. He piled the patient with
questions, and accused him of caus-
ing the sores himself. The patient
met the insinuation at first with in
dignant denials, but finally con-
fessed the truth. Under the domin-
ion OF an impulse too strong for tho
will to overcome he had made all the
sores himself with potash. The
same impulse forced him to submit
to amputation.
DR.. Deulafoy said that this was
one of the most remarkable cases
OF simulated disease that he had
ever noted. Many patients initiated
disease for the sake of the pleasure
it gave morphinomaniacs,
and the like.
In the present case, however, no
pleasure was attendant upon the imi-
tated disease. The patient suffered
terribly from the wounds, and stood
the suffering heroically. The success
sive treatments which he was forced
to undergo were costly and tedious,
as we'll as painful. In fact, the case
was so strange that there was no
word exactly to describe it. To find
n suitable one Paul Bourget and the
doctor together then evolved the
word "pathomime," which may be
rendered disease mimic. Paris

MIR. BLUEBIRD A FAMILY MAN.
How He Helps at Housekeeping and
Looks Out For the Children.

Harbinger Of spring is the blue
bird. He is the first of the smaller
birds to begin housekeeping arrange
ments, and the site for a nest is Sc
lected, and the nest built usually be-
fore the middle of April.
1t is no unusual occurrence to find
eggs in the nest even as early as the
first Of the month, and with the ma
jority they are laid by April 25. These
eggs, of which from four to eight,
most often either five or six, are laid
in one litter, are of immaculate tur-
quoise blue. Usually two, OCCASION
ally three, broods are raised in a sea-
son.
AS soon as the first brood leaves
the nest the father takes almost ex-
elusive care of them until the female
searches out n new nesting site and
starts the making Of a new home for
the second brood of youngsters. The
second litter is rarely as large as the
first, consisting OF four or five eggs.
When the second nest is complete the
father leaves his first family TO shift
for themselves, for then all his time
will be occupied in attending to the
wants of the second.
a pair of birds will return to the
same site year after year and so long
as it remains suitable for their pur-
poses, and when they fail to return II
is safe to conclude that some serious
misfortune has befallen one or both
OF them-Chicago Tribune.

Temple row, Birmingham, England.
This consists in immersing the article

Of the iron is converted into a mix
ture of ferrous and ferric phosphates,
and presents pleasant dull-black
appearance. This process makes the
iron highly resistant to corrosion,

when the canopy props crashed in.
AS the fight for lieutenant governor
approaches the September caicuses
one big fact is growing more and more
apparent. The voters of this state are
going TO choose man who can best
handle the public business.
This stands out amid all the claims
and counter claims OF the three gentle
men who are aspirants for the Repub-
lican nomination. The administra.
tion of public affairs is the vital fact
in the story OF Roosevelt, Taft, Hughes
and LaFollette.
In a publication by the Boston
Transcript of some Of the prominent
points in Speaker Coles canvass en-
phasis was placed upon this fact. His
sound views are cOntrasted with the
fantastic theory and guess work that
has characterized the work OF men who
have been opposing him.
Some OF the illustrations of the
speakers brilliant handling of public
business were mentioned in the Tran.
script article, namely, his prompt solu-
tion Of the merger question which left
the courts free TO take action, his
strong, practical bill for the relief of
Chelsea. In a few terse sentences
Coles wonderful ability as an organ
izer were shown. Said the Cole arti-
Gle: Cole is a strong party man. He
wins men. His campaign committee is

Representative Katzmann of Hyde
Park Is fair type Of the young Cole
man. Cole Is frank and sincere. He
believes In a party machine and says
so. He believes that good government
comes not by tearing down the party
machine but by making it bear the
burden of responsibility"
Manager Katzmann OF the Cole cam
paign recently made the startling
statement that there had been per
sistent effort for two years to discredit
Speaker Cole among the laboring men
and that this effort had now reached
a climax that bade tair TO be a boom

Members of the stock exchange can
no longer be connected in any way
with the Boston euro exchange, ac-
Cording to an announcement made the
other day.
The matter was decided at a special
meeting of the governing committee Of
the Boston stock exchange, who voted:
THAT on and after Aug. l, 1908. no
member of the stock exchange, or firm,
one Of whose partners is a member,
shall be connected by telephone or tele.
graph, directly or indirectly with the
Boston curb. Neither shall any mem.
ber or firm be directly represented on
the curb, either temporarily or perma-
nently."
The action OF the governing commit
tee of the exchange with reference to
transactions on the curb is one which
it is believed will have hearty endorse
ment. II is understood that the action
is prompted 10y desire on the part OF
the exchange to free itself from all
responsibility for the existence of the
outside board, and TO eliminate. so far
rs possible, any feeling that the
transactions on the curb have indi.
rectly the sanction of the exchange.
In this radical action the Boston eX-
change has taken the initiative among
such institutions.
