JUVENILES
Being Helped by Dr. Orne, Who Will
Lecture Today in the City Hail.

Travelling up and down the country
for twenty-five years, DR.. and Mrs. A.
S. Orne, who are here in connection
with the business of a juvenile court
and detention home for the dependent
and incorrigible children of the city.
Speaking of the juvenile court and its
objects, DR.. Orne, who lectures at z
o'clock this afternoon at the city hall,
said: "The juvenile court is born of
the realization that during childhood
the young are in a formative period in
which they may develop habits, and for
infractions of law they should receive
correction rather than punishment by
being put in prison Now, correction in
wolves the idea of adjustment to ap-
proved standards; the idea of culture
and education, and herein lies the op-
portunity of these courts to aid in good
citizenship
This court, exercising the chancery
power of the State, places needy little
ones bereft of parents and guardians
and rescues children from vicious and
immoral surroundings.
These courts punish adults who de-
bauch the young or influence them to
illegal acts; they enforce the child labor
legislation intended for the conserva-
ton of childhood; they enforce the laws
requiring the husband and father tc
support the wife and children; they ain
to SO intelligently handle the children
who have violated the laws of the State
as to correct their evil doings and SAVE
lsh children to themselves and to the
/ community. In a painstaking mannei
they instruct the children in their dutle!
and rights and strive to awaken the1l
self-respect. From the juvenile court !
is hoped that our citizens of tomorrow
will derive knowledge and 1mbibe
spirit of obedience to the laws of thei
| country. This educative function make
the juvenile court the complement o
the public school, and demands in tn
judge and probation officers the quail
ties of Christian parents, preacher
ard teachers
/ DR.. Orne recommended Mrs. E
i Maekay, superintendent of the Train
ing School for Girls" as the prope
person for chief probation officer; ais
suggests the consolidation of the Train
ing School and Geneyieve Orphanag'
the cooperation of the Police jury, tn
City Council and citizens of the paris
tc increase the capacity of the plant, Il
troduce the different industrial depar'
ments, thus making Caddo parish tt
banner parish in the control, care an
culture of neglected children.

Bitinq the Nails.

There has been issued from the Paris press a brochure which created a large amount of interest in French medical circles, both on account of its originality and the experimental re- suits which it embodies. It is from the pen of Dr. Edgar Berillon, so we'll known in the surgical world by req son of his connection with Charcot in the latter's hypnotic experiments, and as secretaire general de la Societe d'Hypnologie ct de Psychologist Of Paris, and medical inspector of the state lunatic asylums. The work is a scientific treatise on onycophagie, or finger biting, and contains the results of series of observations in the pub lie and private schools of France, and extending through a period of more than seven years. In his thorough scientific treatment of what the world has never before considered worthy of prolonged or special study Berillon arrived at results really remarkable
 His experiments led him to pronounce the habit far Eore widespread and pernicious than others promptly treat ed. and forced him to conclude that, if not disease itself, it is an unfail
 ing mark of incipient degeneration of the nervous system, which, unrecog- nized. may be productive of the most evil results. Dundee Advertiser
The Carlisle independent., 1909-09-30

strangers alike succumb to the mill tary eye of the Hoodoo priestess.
 One of the most remarkable experi- ences of my life is how I came under this influence; but some 20 years since, finding it could be made bene- ficial by keeping the possessor of this gift always supplied with an abun- dance of fruit, especially bananas, l sank my personality and became an observer in this by-way of science
 Dr. Wilson of the Pennsylvania mu- scum, says that hypnotism is merely fear, adducing many interesting in- stances of the same, and it may be that the domestic hoodoo is founded upon such a basis. But what is there in a espectable-looking colored wom- an to bring various nationalities of men, women, and children under sub- lection? Even a horse maliciously nib bling a tree on the front pavement, listening to the "mantrim" she pro- nounced against his race, trotted, off instanter and apparently warned all other horses, since no second one has attempted trespass.
 The most remarkable power pos sessed by this conjure queen is that of telepathically calling other colored women for work or for society. Often quite early in the morning she will announce:
 q fell languid. Cannot worl; to- day, but will call Hannah" Then to the dog:
 "Go out and stay in the yard, so you can tell me when Hannah comes"
