Professor MacMans description corresponds closely
to description of hysteria among civilized women In
further development of this theory he described the
case OF Aluaha She twenty-five years old aud tho

She had more attacks than any else. He also wit

at first showed her some favor.
Professor Brill thinks that this shows plainly that
just as in civilized women it is love that plays the
great part in the causaon of hysera 1t is not neces
sarX gross disappointment but ungratifed desire
for affection that is the determining factor
The Eskmos may be called an immoral people in
one sense The woman is much part OF the mans
property his dog and sedge They indulge in trial
marriage, and when things do not run smoothly they
try again and again By mutual are often
exchanged between friends Divorces are very simple
If man grows tired OF his wife, he simply tells her

Under such conditions it is readily corlpreL,nsiblc
that the may experience those elements of
love SO essential to feminine nature Professor Mac
MILAN asserts that the Eskimo woman is lust as cana
BILE OF loving civilized woman. He related many
incidents, we'll discussions with Eskimo women
which proved this.
In fact one may say that the aens. finds that the
greatest determinant OF pibokto is sex AS among
civilized women it may be the psychcal rather than
the physical brings on the hysterica

place. Thus, for instance, if an infant is in
vited to walk before its bones are ready to
support its body, the motor reaction-walk-
ing in this nstance-occurs prematurey to
the detrment of the child who becomes
bandylegged.
In the normal individual there is a perfect
coordination OF sensory and motor elements.
The moment sensory stimulus is received

pendence, selfreliance, efficiency, ability to
cope with all the problems OF life. Any delay
occasioned in formation of trains OF thought
retards action, and therefore prevents the
growth OF Will power, and III order that there
may be no hindrance OF any kind to the rapid
and precise formation OF thought, it is inn
perative that the child have at its command
concise, precise expressions TO aid it in rapid
thinking. Any influence that binders quick
decisions weakens the will.
Now 1t is a well-known fact that almost
all linguists tend to write an ornate and posi-

lsh Is apt to express an individual thought
in two or three different ways, because. in the
background Of this thought linger the recol-
lections of the Latin and Greek stylsts. The
initiative faculty existing in all impes him to
give trlfold variety OF expression TO the one
thought. The ensuing style is a flowing and
literary style, but it spells death to rapid
motor coordination. and upon this circum-
stance Professor Patten bases his assumption
that the study Of foreign languages is bound
to weaken the will.

WHY PERFUMES Should

x TONE of our senses is so little considered
MI that Of smell, and it is sign OF
advance in civilization that there is q
growing tendency 10 develop this sense. Every
red-halred woman knows that certain
binations OF color heighten or detract from
her beauty. but not every one knows that her
faint bodily fragrance is quite different from
that OF a brunette or blonde. To be
aesthetic in her toilette the perfumes a
woman uses must be in harmony with herself.
The brunette. particularly in early life may
use a sensuous flower essence freely. but must
beware of certain light odors. such new

by the elderly, for among old persons the dry

which a fragrant but light perfume will

Different individuals possess Odors that seem

A year after his marriage to farm
er's daughter Jacob sAnson, farmers
son. removed to town and opened what
he proudly termed commission house.
1t was in this way. 1t was an old

Jacob bought butter and eggs of the
farmers for price and shipped them
to the city and sold them for higher

dozen on eggs and 6 cents pound on
butter. Jacob Arson had always said
that he wanted to be a business man
when he grew up, and here he was.
He had a place. and he had sign and
letterheads and cards. He did 81 worth
of advertising In the country papers.
and the whole town congratulated him
on his business enterprise. Jacob had
always patted himself on the back as
some pumpkins. and now he became
very chesty. One day when he had
shipped enough butter and eggs to re-
turn him profit of Sc he went home
with his head held so high that 1t was

said. "but there are other things need
