MULTIPLE PERSONALITY.
One Ensishwoman Who Showed Five
Distinct Natures.

Distinct Natures.
Rare cases Of true multiple personal
ity are known to have occurred and are
of extraordinary interest. The most
famous 10 that of Miss Beauchamp"-
the real name has always most prop
erly been withheld which was care
fully studied by DR.. Morton Prince.
By intricate steps he arrived ut the
conviction that In her case no fewer
than five distinct personalities could be
traced. The most vivid of all was the
one who called herself sally"
The normal Miss Beauchamp was a
somewhat neurotlc woman. the con-
slant prey of slight ailments and with
out much Zest in life. After a nervous
shock Sally suddenly became able to
take possession Of her from time to
time. ut first with apparent difficulty
and then. as it seemed. whenever she
pleased. When Sally was dominant
Miss Beauchamp's whole nature was
changed. She became lively, irrespon-
which the normal woman disliked, exu-
berantly healthy and different from
Miss Beauchamp in every respect. She
could not explain herself. but protested
that she had always been here" but
could not get control. and one of the
most wonderful and best attested facts
in this mysterious case is that she con-
fidently asserted her memory of events
which occurred when the real Miss
Beauchamp was in her cradle.
For Miss Beauchamp. the co-tenant
with her of the same body, Sally had
the most intense dislike. never speak.
ing of her except with contempt and
doing all she could to cause her harm
and annoyance. Miss Beauchamp had
a special horror of insects and reptiles
and Sally was accustomed to gratify
her spite by collecting frogs. toads and
spiders and dispatching them to what
the inadequacy Of language compels us
to call herself.
Miss Beauchamp detested walking
so Sally, when she was dominant
would 90 for long tramp after care
fully leaving all her money behind. and
then. when she was ten miles or more
from home, would suddenly disappear
and. allowing the original Miss Beau
champ to assume control. leave the un
fortunate woman to make her way
back as best she could.-London Globe

Color Changes of the Hair.

Accounting for color changes Of the
hair, 1t is explained that this change
is not due to destruction of pigment
present in the hair or to a bleaching Of
hairs already formed. but that pig
mented hairs fall out and are replaced
by unpigmented or white ones. Com.
pletely pigmented hairs never turn
gray. they fall out. 1t has also been
observed that the process Of pigment
formation may cease during the de-
velopment Of hair. In such case the
tip of the hair will remain pigmented
though the base appears white.-In.

HOLDING THE BREATH.
Simple Heart Test Used In Administer
ing Anaestheties.

Simple Heart Test Used In Administer
ing Anaestheties.
DR.. W. A. Schtange describes In the
Roussky Vratch an easy test which he
has devised to determine whether pa.
dent who has been told that he must
undergo surgical treatment is in con-
dition to survive the administration Of
an anaesthetic. If the patient is unable
to hold his breath for twenty seconds
the indications are that his heart Is
so weak that he could not be subjected
to the strain likely to be imposed by
the anaesthetic.
General anaesthesia is particularly
dangerous to persons suffering from
myoeardial changes, condition which
does not permit Of ready recognition.
For this reason the simple test sug-
gested by DR.. W. A. Schtange will be
welcome by the anaesthetist if extend
ed experience should verify the doctors
assertions.
The test is based on the fact that a
healthy person can suspend breathing
from thirty to forty seconds. This, the
author states. depends not on the lung
capacity, but on the vigor Of the heart
muscle. In persons with weak hearts
the time is shortened to twenty or
even ten seconds. The patient, seated
in a chair. is told to take moderately
deep inspiration and with the mouth
closed to hold his breath as long as he
can. The shorter the time the patient
can suspend breathing the greater the
danger of an anaesthetic. the latter be
ing contraindicated If the time is less
than twenty seconds.-New York Medi.

MONTENEGRO AN ODD LAND.
Scratch Native There and You Will
Find "Superinte ndent."


Find Superintendent"
Montenegro is one Of the oldest
countries in the world. There the
women are the producers, clothes make
the man, the king is greater than the
ministry. the chamber or the constitu-
ton, and a man may be imprisoned
for eating hedgehog. A man who is
struck may kill the striker provided
1t be done at once. If he delays he is
punished as a murderer.
A Montenegrin's habit is as costly
as his purse can buy, and there the ap-
parel proclaims the man. The baggy
blue trousers are the same for the king
or the peasant, as is the bright sash
which holds the invariable revolver.
But from the red jacket and the red
ingote one connotes whether the wear

Quence or not Among the women
there are slighter distinctions.
The women engage in the produc-
tive pursuits. and yet the man has

bellicose environment of his mountain
home becomes one of the best of work.
ers. His 500 years Of freedom have
given the Montenegrin a fine sense OF
order. and it is a current saying along
the Dalmatian coast that when a Mon.

what he can do he invariably answers
"Superintend."

Vast Forests of Alaska.

We hear much concerning the rapid
disappearance of our forests. The vast
timbered area of the eastern and cen
tral portions of the United States is
fast being transformed into woodless
country. becoming very thickly popu'
lated. and doubtless will never grow
much timber again. In Alaska. which
is one of our territories, the timber
area is estimated to be somewhere near
80 per cent Of the entire land. and
there is considerably more than 100..
100000 acres of good woodland. with
timber that is of such value its real
worth cannot be estimated. 1t will
require years to even make any marked
impression ON such vast forest.-Phil.

FLINGING THE cHAKRI.
One Of the Dexterous Feats Of the
Clever Hindus of Swalior.

Clever Hindus OF 'iWalior.
There is curious custom in Gwalior,
India. the seat of Jain and early Hindu
antiquities. In front Of the maus0leum
of holy saint-Mohammed GhOus--a
fair is held annually on the outskirts
of Gwalior town about the middle of
the rainy season. The most noticeable
feature of the fair is the chakri throw.
A chakri is piece of iron something
like spindle. over which long piece
of string or thread is rolled. The play
er throws high into the air the iron
chakri 0iterlly rollI. holding one end
of the string in his hand. and gives it
a swing and jerk in such clever man.
ner that the chakri on coming down
rolls up the thread again on itself and
Is caught in the hands of the thrower.
The art has been dexterUusly prac-
ticed by class of people for ages past
and some members are so renowned
that they cut good figure at the
scene. 1t is most interesting to watch
the thrower fling the chakri up high,
catch it in his hands on return and con-
tinue sending it up again and again
till the rope becomes as high as seven
ty feet above the ground. There is
absolutely no spring or lever attach
ment in the chakri. Nabbo is the
champion thrower. London Strand

Live Stock on National Forests.
1t is rather cheering to note in re-

1000 900 head of cattle and horses, g.
600, 600 sheep and goats and %, 600 hogs
in the 100 national forests. This has
been the record for 1914 and the cheer.
fUl conclusion IS reached ny the forest
service that this means an increase for
the current year Of about IS. 600 more
cattle and horses and 348, 600 more
sheep and goats, Notwithstanding the
gross area Of the national forests at
the beginning of the year had shrunk
to almost million acres.
