The most misunderstood form of ly-
ing is that known as "mythomania."
In it the person who tells the false
hood does so without purpose, and
sometimes with injury to himself. It
develops from the fable-making Of
childhood, and, unless corrected early,
will work great harm in ones life.
There have been cases of mytho-
mania in adults that have bafled the
best detectives The victim has told
things about himself that might be
highly discriminating, and when ques-
toned made use of his quick presence
of mind to strengthen the circum-
stantial evidence against himself.
This mental disease often works
harm upon others who are as innocent
as the mythomaniac himself though
he Is as prone TO tell fattering lies OF
himself.-Popular Science Monthly.

YOUNG GIRLS DARING CLlMb
Memory of Heroic Deed Has Been

A daring climb was accomplished at
Repton, in Lancashire England, some
years ago, the exploit being kept in

that used to dnngle from the cross
surnuunting the lofty spire OF the
village church. and which was known
locally as Little BesSie's Rope Bes-

steepIeiack who one day. in a spirit
OF bravado and in order to win a bet
of few shilings, undertook to climb
to the TOP of the splre and there don
suit Of clothes with which he had
been presented.
True to his word, he fixed his lad
ders on the day appointed and
climbed by their aid as far as the
bottom of the big copper ball which
upheld the cross. over one arm of
the cross he then lassoed rope,
up which he climbed, and afterward
proceeded to don the clothes. Next,
standing upright, he started to throw
into the air one by one, his old gar
ments. Suddenly, however, there was
cry of alright from above followed
my a great hush below The foolish
fellow had somehow managed TO
loosen the rope. his sole connecting
