4 Hospital for Plants

A hospital for plants is the latest de-.
vice, designed by an ingenious English
man, for the aid and comfort Of lovers
of flowers, who are often distressed at
sight Of their tavorite plants ailins and
dying from maladics for which they
know no cure. Whom a sick plant is
brought to the hospital, it is imme-
diately examined and sent to the room
prepared for it's case. If it is suffer
ing from cold it is tended with heat;
Il it has become aneric from an excess
of solar rays, it goes through freez.
ing treatment. The unwhoiesome
branches are removed, while those that
are an@mic are fed.
1t seems that certain plants arc very
nervous. Some easily get neurasthenic,
while their neighbors show undeniable
symptoms Of hysteria. But special
arrangements permit the application to
each Of them Of the treatment it re-
Quircs.

PAklS, May III.
n wA ANY people had given me the
following advice:
~ you should SO to Nancy
~ and sec Professor Coue. He
performs miracles. Not only docs he
heal the sick, but he also transforms
them into doctors
followed the advice and took the
train the other day for Nancy. I
Knocked at the door OF quiet and
dainty little house, at the extremity Of
the town. A friendly old gentleman,
all gray and rosy, smilinsly opened the
door TO me and, as soon as had ex-
planned the object OF my visit to him
be said:
mo; I do rot perform miracles
Miracles do not exist. But teach pco-
PIE how to cure themselves by auto
suggestion OF almost all maladies."
And, a'te,' having lighted his cigar
cite, Professor Coue explained TO me:
"Nhatevcr one may say. sir, it is not
cur will which makes us act, but our
imagination, Follow ne carefully.
There arc two beings in Us, the con-
scious being who is the master Of our
will and the unconscious ore who rules
our imagination. Well, there is an an
tagonisnl between these two forces, ard
it is always imagination which pre-
walls.
"lf you place a plank ten yards lon.
and three inches wide on the floor YOU
will easily walk along it, Imagine that
this plank be placed above All abyss,
you would find it impossible to walk on
this bridge, because your imagination
would oppose itself to your WILL You
would wish to, but you would not be
able to. One always speaks OF edu-
eating the will, but it aeen,s moro i'm.
portant to me to know how to cuide
our inssinstion.'
But said /. Gin practice, what is
your method ?"
Control of Imagination
Is Basis Of Power
lt Is very simple ore, replied
Professor Couc. This is what it con.
sists Of. Every morning and every
evening, when in bed, close your eyes
IN order to concentrate your attention
and repeat twenty time. the following
sentence: every day, in every re.
spect' I am getting better and better"

is that enough to be curcd::''

Echoes From abroad

OF the people. In the year da B. c. the
pretor, Marcus Caeius Rufus, enacted
law that released tenants Of YEAR
rent. 1t is not known what success
this had. But the privilege was re.
neNed by Caesar and later by Emperor
Augustus, with the restriction that the
rent ediet should refer only to habita-
t!ons the rental OF which, in Rome, did
not exceed 1000 sestcrces. and in
smaller towns not 500. Juyenal com
plains that for the rent one had to pay
IN Rome for wretchcd dwelling, one
could obtain q magnificent villa with
garden IN the provinces. They could
not think Of an extension of the Forum
for the simple reason that the sur
rounding houses would have to be ex-
prepriatcd, which III view Of price, of
real estate would have meant an
enormous expenditure.
Az old as the housing problem itself
is alao the effort to meet il by prevent
ing the arbitrary raising of rents by
the landlords Thus the early popcs
proceeded most radically in combating
such eHtortions Julius II and Paul III
became known for such action. undcr
Pope Alexander III decree was issued
requiring the reduction of the rent Of
a hsbitxtion decree of the year so4
forbade al proprietors Of houses and
stores IN Rome, no matter how the

Nothing, or almost nothing, would be

In this way it was learned that those

themselves very happy, seemed to fear
that they would be even less happy if

Out Of about 1000 varieties Of trees,

It was->among the art treasures Of

it as the portrait Of the duchess OF

was that Of Lucrezia Orwell. It is.
generally conceded today that the pic
