An interesting case Of alternating per-

the Journal of the American Medical As-

spells OF wandering Of which he had no
recollection In his normal state.
After one Of these he found himself In
London. without having any Idea how he
rot there, and passing into another be
found himself In q similar plight at the
Cane Of Good Hope. After that he was
free from these attacks for three years.
when they again returned, though not OF
such long duration.
In the intervals he complained Of more
or less headache. which seemed to bo sg-
gravated when his sttaokh came on. The
patient was easily hypnottsed and then
was able TO give an ACCOUNT OF his dotngs
while IN his secondary condition, Of which
he normally had no recollection. and after
coming out Of the hypnotic state he had
the same tire and exhaustion as he felt
after one of his periods Of secondary con-
sclousness.

1875 offers no answer to this question. The
Deputies, the Senators, are legally respon-

punishment they have to fear Is that OF

thoroughly understood the purport Of the
Constitution that they have resigned them
selves to 1t and in practice have allowed the
last traces Of authority left to them to be-
come annihilated. The President Of the
French Republic has no efIeotual force;
he cannot act alone; his principal part Is
to supervise, to counsel to conciliate. The
refusal which he might oppose to the will
Of his Ministers could merely be suspensive.

appearances when q Cabinet has to be CON-
stituted he has no choice in the matter.

In a word, then. under the Constitution
Of 1875 the chambers govern; the Exeou-
tive-ill named-has very restricted au-
thority. Nothing remains Of Montesquieu's q
famous 'separation of the three coordinate
powers.' In the France Of to-day ad-

judicial. are subordinated. Authority is
handed by the people to the chambers and
by the chambers to the executive commit

These tales. as Prof. Lowell recognizes. are
written with purpose. and 1t is not merely
as literary fantasy that the unfettered
course OF selfish evolution is portrayed as
ending in cannibslism. They show the
extreme swing away from the fundamental
conceptions Of laissss fdire.
Prof. Lowell for his own part is inclined
to admit that civilization may be measured
by the breadth Of human sympathy. He
Acknowledges the truth Of the conclusion
reached by anthropologists that at first
human beings have fellow feeling only

color and often OF the same race as their
masters. were to great extSnt regarded
merely as q means to the perfecting OF q

L. M. [If the soil is not too heavy,
if it is a sandy loan, the peas may
be plowed under to a depth of four
inches. On clay loans it is well to
SOW with grain drill, hitching up the
neck straps short and weighing the

perience has shown that the oats
may be sown later, when the peas
have sprouted, sowing broadcast,
then narrowing in lightly to bury the
oats and to kill the little weeds. At
the experiment stations this method
has worked well. So also has the
method of sowing both sorts of seed
together, though the peas should be
drilled in much deeper than the oats.
The peas also should be sown earlier
than the oats to give them fair

Being so simple and economical to
make, it is advisable to have enough
frames to protect tba number Of ten
der plants that are set out in a garden
at one time, says Farm and Home.
They possess other advantages than
sheltering the young things from the
direct rays of the sun. They allow
slow evaporation, and so keep newly
watered ground moist for hours,
whereas if exposed to the sun and
wind it would soon become dry and
caked. On windy days it is necessary
to let the sacking down on the wind

frost the protection that they afford

FoRsYTHIAs.

The most glorious Towering shrub
for very early spring is the forsythia,
also known as golden bell. 1t grows
to a height of eight and even ten
feet, and has wonderful yellow
flame of blossoms that absolutely
hide the branches before single leaf
appears. The branches arch over
and make a delightful shrub that is
satisfactory all the year. It will
make its finest show if planted
against dark background. Give
each plant plenty of room, for the
branches will spread widely and will
finally bend to the earth again and
root at the tips.
It is little troubled by insects, and
needs only slight pruning. There are
several varieties. The one described
here is forsythia suspense, and it is
by far the most satisfactory. Young
plants, from two to three years old,
and about two feet high, can be
bought for twenty-five cents each.
For a, fine group, plant three or four
of these, giving each plant from four
to five feet of clear space around it.
One plant will be sufficient for
small place. Do not set this shrub
in the middle of an open space. 1t
needs background. - Indianapolis
