HALLUCINATlONS.
Some Singular Instances of This Form
of Mental Disease.


In THE Riddle of Personality" the
author. FL. Addington Bruce. analyzing
the hypnotic treatment of hallucina-
lions or irrational fears that often end
in madness or suicide. says:

Ease There is. in truth, no predicting
the strange obsessions that may in
wade the human mind haunting it with
vampire-liEe insistence. One man. ter
rified by he knows not what. may find
himself unable to cross an open space;
another be afraid to venture outdoors
alone: another to sit in a room with
closed doors; another may feel that
every one he meets is eying and crits
ciSing him: another asserts that he is
made of glass and must exercise the
greatest care to prevent himself being
smashed to fragments. Such fears
would be ludicrous were they not so
tragic.

Women of Ancient Euvpt,

Women always stood on level with
men in ancient Egypt, unlike the Gus

were allowed to rule as queens as early
as the second dynasty. Their palaces
were of brick adorned with gorgeously
painted walls, rich carpets. rugs Of fur

themselves with innumerable rings

Shakespeare's Wild Animals.

Shakespeare makes use of no fewer
than twenty species of British wild
animals. OF these the badger, the otter
and the water rat are once each EN-.
ployed by name merely as terms of
abuse. The polecat and hedgehog are
also terms of abuse, but are so far
described" as to be called respective
ly striking and "thorny." The dor
mouse and ferret are each used once
as adjectives for sleepy" and fierce"
The shrew gives it's name to q play,
but is never mentioned as an animal.
The mole is mentioned twice as being
"blind." the wildcat once as sleeping
by day" the cony as struggling in the
net" and dwelling where she is kin
died" and the squirrel as "the fairies
coachmaker" and as having already
boarded that years nuts on May day.
The rat and the mouse, being only
the NJ. domesticus, required no lob
servation' by the poet. so that the
above represents the total of Shake
speare's natural history with regard to
all but six of his British quadrupeds.
The poets only original references
to the weasel are blunders The bat is
mentioned three times as an actual an
imal-once wrongly, as migrant, like
the swallow, pursuing summer; once
fancifully. as the ''reremouse," out of
whose ''leathern" wings Titania's elves
made their coats, and once. finely, "ere
