front had been the starting point of her
delusion. She was cured in two weeks.
A peculiar case was that of a man who
had suddenly forgotten his own identity,
and had Travelled through six different
states without knowing who he was. He
was picked up in the streets of Wash
ington and sent to the Hospital for the
Insane. There was nothing to suggest
who he was. absolutely no clue to his
home, his occupation or his name. 1t
afterwards developed that he had been
away from home eight months, and had
been going down hill all the time until he
looked like the most miserable of tramps
The doctor saw the futility of trying to
suggest to him his identity by using all
the names he had ever heard.
Accordingly. he tried the employment
line. None of the ordinary professions
brought any response Mention of doc
tors, lawyers, journalists or ministers
gave no result. The same was true of
all the words referring to such avoca-
tions as plumbers, bricklayers, carpenters
and teamsters. Finally the doctor said
II am looking for somebody to tune my
piano." 1t proved to be the right cue.
The patient was piano tuner from one
of the middle western states. After three
weeks of questioning and prompting, the
doctor retraced with the man all his wan
behring's, made him remember his name
and restored to him the complete mastery
of all his mental faculties.
One of the most battling cases Franz
ever had was the man who not only was
frightened every time he saw a horse
shoe, but who was constantly possessed
of the idea that it would be used as a
means of killing him. OF course, the nat
ural assumption was that he had been
kicked by a horse or run over by one,
and that the shock of the accident had
unseated his reason. Working on this
theory, the doctor wasted many precious
sittings and used up hundreds of words
without making any progress toward dis
covering the true cause of the trouble
1t finally developed that the fellow had
been struck on the head by a horseshoe,
which had been nailed over a door for
good luck" and which had fallen on
him as he entered a friends house.
A direct opposite of the man who feared
the open places was the woman who
dreaded all closed or dark places. She
had clausrophobia. and had developed the
mania of staying out-of-doors, sleeping
out-of-doors and never entering the house
unless compelled to do so. AS is often
the case with mothers, her trouble had
come from an accident to her child. She
had seen it, while playing in a big linen
closet, have it's hand caught and crushed
by the closing of a heavy door, and the
shock of the child's suffering preyed on
her mind until she had come to fear any
thing with doors.
The "phobias" are the most troublesome
durable cases with which the psychiatrist
or alienist has to deal. If any of these
patients had died while in the worst
stages of their mental arrangements, and
autopsies had been performed on them.

The Captain said as he turned to CO..
Dem words you s-speak I think l know
But I'll re-repeat each word OF talk
A hundred t-times as back I walk
And get all s-safe in my woolly head
Den tell de Prince JUS w-what you said.
But when he reached the camp that day
He gave the message in this way:
dat merchant kid way d-down de pike
He say you c-come jus when you like"
WHILE Captain Dinkey was on his tramp
The Prince was busy at the camp.
The country folks had heard the news
And callers came in ones and twos,
Some men and women, young and old,
And boys and girls to have fortunes told.
But the Prince in his most kindly way
Said, How do you do?" and Its a
pleasant day."

And everybody laughing loud.
Behind the counter the merchant lad

While his little sister, ten years old,

And his manly walk and the interview
Made the older children give him rank

From the Gypsy camp a mile away
Which they had heard about that day.
The note was opened and its contents read

comparatively little difficulty in explain
ing that the dread was founded on fic-
ton and that there was really nothing to
fear. The mans complete recovery fol-
lowed, and he again occupies a promi-
nent place in the business world.
These peculiar cases of insanity are
classed under the general title of pho
bias The man who feared the open
places was an agoraphobiac. Another
case DR.. Franz had was that of pyro-
phobia-the fear of fire. This was a wo-
man who dreaded fire. and at various
periods in the day imagined that she was
enveloped in flames. At such time she
suffered as much as If she had been act
uaIly on fire. On very bright, sunny
DAYS, the brilliance of the sun persuaded
her that the world was burning up. The
doctor was successful with her on the
third word, which was matches" That
reminded her dimly of her baby having
been burned to death as the result of
playing with matches. Gradually, he
made her understand that the child's
death was no reason for her to think she
was on fire or to believe that fire was to
be dreaded all the time.
1t is difficult to trace these ''phobias"
TO their true causes because, as was
pointed out in the case of the agorapho-
biac. the effects of the shock to the
brain do not appear at once, but come
out long afterwards. The families or
the patients are often unable to assign
any reasons for the mental breakdown.
The asylum had one amusing case
This was a mysophobiac, a man who
feared dirt as ordinary people fall away
from pestilence. His mania for washing
his hands was never satisfied, and the
hospital attendants finally agreed to let
him go through these additions eight
times a day. On one occasion he was
allowed to go into the lavatory unwatch-
ed. and. when he was found 40 minutes
later. he had used 70 towels. 1t was later
discovered that his trouble had come
from his seeing on the street a man who
appeared to be particularly unkempt ana
dirty looking. At the time this patient $
companion had been a physician, who
had pointed out the probabilities of the
tramp spreading disease. Through some
peculiar kink i'm his brain, the patient
had dwelt on that remark and had al
lowed il to become the dominant thought
in his life, resulting in his having no
other desire than TO take baths and wash

ana showed the callers his famous CAT
And let them walk about and chat
And see the tent and his dapple gray
And then to each he had this to say:
1.-The best good luck of every year
Is scattering sunshine and good cheer;
The world was built one-haf for play
And both the halves we live each day"
THE oldest caller at the Gypsy tent
Was granny all alone and bent
And poorly clad in shawl and hood
And on her back load of wood
Which she had gathered by the way
As through the woods she came that day.
The Prince gave her the softest seat
And placed cushion for her feet
And took the ugly tiresome pack s.
Of crooked sticks from off her back.
Then ordered Jappy quick to make
Some Gypsy tea and to bring some cakl
Muffles at once was all alert
And rubbed his head on a granny's skirt
And meowed and purred as if to say
There is something doing now to-day;
For just before he was curled up snug
In his usual place upon a rug.
When granny finished her cake and tea
Prince Domino inquired if he
Could be of service or comfort bring
Or SenQ the WOOD OF dnyGn
Granny looked up and her silence broke
And these are the very words she spoke;
I'm very old, four score today,
And in cabin down the way
All by myself I lonely sit
From morn till night and stockings knit
To earn the pennies that need .
To buy some bread and my chickens feed.
My only child is long since dead
But he left fortune it is said,
In English cash which he saved for me
AS Captain of ship at sea,
ALI in gold coin which he buried deep
Safe in these woods where it would keep;
But have walked all round and round
And searched and searched each foot Of
ground;
Looked under rocks and dug deep holes
And searched in hollows and on knobs
And measured points from tree to tree
And worked on maps he made to see
If could figure out or trace
Just how he meant to find the place.
And now, good Sir I've come to ask
If this cat of yours can do the task"
BEFORE the Prince had time to speak
He heard nearby piercing shrek.
He excused himself and quickly went
Down a steep hill back from the tent
And there found Dutchy partly dressed
ALI tangled up in hornets nest.
The lad had gone an hour before
With rod and gun down to the shore
Of little lake to try his luck
At catching fish or shooting duck.
No one was in the neighborhood
And he thought dip would do him good.
But when poor Dutchy was getting dressed
His coat disturbed the hornets nest.

SCOTS AT FLAMMARION
Professor Pickering Says Earth Not
Menaced by Comet.

Boston, Feb. 8. - Professor Il. C.
Pickering, director OF Harvard obser.
vatory, scoffed at the report from
Paris that Camille Flammarion, the
French astronomer, had been quoted
as declaring that wholesale extinction
OF life Will follow the passing of the
earth through the nebulae OF Halley's
comet on May 1S.
That the eyanogen gas In the tail
Of the comet is destructive of all life
Is doubted by Professor Pickering,
who said: II do not believe that
Flammarion said that. However, II
he did, 1t will have no weight with
astronomers OF standing, as they con-
cur In the belief that there is abso-
lutely no danger to be feared. Mother
Earth had that experience once of
passing through the comets tail, and
she Is still with us. Too many of
these rumors are owing to the efforts
of cheap sensationalists. who desire
free advertising"

Washington, Feb. 9.-John A. Stew
art president of the League of Re

close friend OF ex-President Roose-

entirely agreeable and convenient for
the president to go to New York on

while aboard ship he was asked to
permit arrangements to be made for
his homecoming. in the way OF some
thing like a popular welcome. The
former president did not refuse the
invitation. but said that he preferred
to keep the matter in abeyance for
while.
I'm a general way should say that
the welcome will be simple and dig
nified, and no attempt will be made
at elaborate displays, but rather to
afford an opportunity for America to
welcome former president. Full
details OF the reception will, as Col.
onel Roosevelt requests. be forwarded
to him at Khartoum, and II is likely
that special committee will meet
Mr.. Roosevelt in London and perfect
arrangements. II Is expected that
Colonel Roosevelt will arrive on some
date between the 18th and the 21st of
June. The reception will of course
