cRAzED BY RELIGIOUS MANIA.
Entire Family in Small Swiss Village
Becomes Insane.

A strange case of a family suffer
ing from religious mania is reported
from the Swiss village of Oftringen.
There are eight grown children in the
family, and recently they were con
verted by an itinerant preacher.
Thereupon the whole family began to
neglect their farm and domestic du-
ties. and to spend the day and night
in prayer. The cattle were neglected,
and would have been starved had
they not been fed by the neighbors.
One girl named Bertha declared that
she was the bride of Christ, and al
ways went about clad in a garment of
white. Strange rites, too, were prac-
ticed. Once at midnight the whole
family, dressed in white clothes, as
sembled around a wood pile altar in
a field and burned white calf, mean
while dancing around the burning pile
This was called "immolation." Then
Bertha expressed a wish to be inn
molated. and it appears that an at
tempt was made TO cruelty her The
police, however, got to know of this
and arrived in time to prevent fur
Their mischief. Bertha was found i'll
in bed with nail wounds in her hands.
She and two sisters and a brother
were promptly removed TO the lunatic
asylum at Koenigsfelden.

PRESIDENT Roberts at the chapel ex-

as YET ne mad never considered it nee
essary to call any action on the part
of the trustees, he was decidedly on
posed to the acts of hazing as now

scholarship, and an impossibility for
the lower class to attend to duties with
regularity. He was loudly applauded
for his stand by the upper classmen.
