CURE MADE BY SUGGESTION
Girl in Cataleptic State Now Talks and

On June II last, after day in which
she exhibited unusual mental agita-

she has not yet recovered. The anaes-
thesia is generalized Hearing, sight
and taste are suspended. Only the
sense OF smell remains in a certain
measure. The eyelids frequently trem-
BILE convulsiyely, while at intervals the
patient gives utterance to inarticulate
groans.
DR.. Paul Farez. professor at the
school of psychology, is interested ex-

using his best efforts to convert the
pathological sleep into an hypnotic
sleep in which state the patient would
be more accessible to suggestions OF a
therapeutic efficacy. His labors in this
direction have been crowned with sue

QUEER JAP ROOSTER
Breed Which Has Tail Over
Twelve Feet Long.
Barnyard MarVeis Prove What Scien-

suit of Centurys Evolution
and Careful Breeding.

Tokyo, Japan.-The long tailed
cocks of Japan are striking proof or
what selection, scientifically carried
out, can do. 1t has taken a century
TO evolve these remarkable birds with
abnormal tails from the ordinary farm
Yard cock and hen. The cocks hail
from Shinowara, village near KOCH,
in the Isle of Shikoku. Some Of them
are white; others are of different col
ors. The feathers forming the tail,
which number from fifteen to twenty
four, measure from seven and half
to more than twelve feet long. Their
roots, it need scarcely be said, aye
very much stronger than those al the
tail feathers of an ordinary cock. The
feathers, growing on either side OF
the body and hanging over the tail.
reach to a length of three and q quar-
ter feet.
That the long tail may not be dam
aged, and may have ample opportli-
nifty to grow, each bird is kept in
high, narrow cage, lighted at the top
only; as, if the bottom were lighted,
the bird would stay there, and so. in
ali probability, damage it's much
priced tail feathers. The bird remains
on its perch all day long, and is al
lowed outside its cage only once in
two days, when 1t walks for half an
hour, man holding its tail from the
dirt during its promenade. Once or
twice a month it is washed in warm
water, and dried by being exposed to
