Fifty years ago no gentleman could have smoked in the presence of ladies. The unmarried girl or young wife of a certain social status met walking with a nil puffing n cigar would have gone homo with h few shreds less of character than she had set out with. But who has a word tc. say nowf Now we have the cigars and cigarettes brought in with the coffee Immediately after dinner, and no one in offended. The men are not con sidered too free, the women do not hold themselves cavalierly treated when the dainty little appliances for lighting, ash ifid cutting go the round of the table, and the fragrant "batons" are lovingly handled and regarded. Often indeed, one or these lames win ueise.i join the men, and if a few prim old pff,rfli, n(rilre 0f the proprietor, and souls think the exhibition shocking the snijWCpod a crjtic who disparaged the younger aooept it as a matter of taste. , r(j . a prllctical joke.

A showman ordered an organ which should play tunes when turned by a crank. The foreman under took the job but failed. Hiram then tried and succeeded. A rival showman ordered an organ to lie run by clock-work and to be decorated with automaton ligurcs. Hiram made it. The liguros, repre senting six girls nil six boys, he made of wax: the faces and hands he copied from living children. "Why. those beads must have been brought from Europe; no one in Amer ica could make them!" said a French man, on seeing them. "They were made by a boy, working in this town," replied a bystander.

Ooniildsoii under the title "Automatic Ambulation," which be had -ecu in the clinic of Charcot, i no! without parallel, as the doctor sii-po-es. The condition of the patient, lo which, though seemingly rational, be was really suffering from a lap., of ooneciouenoea, i one which has been described by several writers Um epilepsy, notably Hughlings, Jackson ami Cowers. Formerly It wn ns serted that such a state of douhle- conseloueneM was atwayi n poet apt loptto phenonxawoo. Now u is believed that It may occur a the physic.il equivalent of the epileptic attack. An Interesting ens which illuslrate tin condition, was observed at my clinic not very long ago. A young innr. a carpenter by trade, who had occtulonally suffered from epileptic at tack, related the fi flowing history: He remembered having come home as usual from work on a Tln.r.luy iiighk. ami having gone to bed wllh his hrotheri With whom be always slept. The next thing he romemliors is awak ening on Friday nfternom, at four o'clock and I'm ling himself In Bel lev ne Hospital. , He had no recollection whatever of how he got there, and il was a surprise lo him not to find him self in hi own roo 11. He learned, however, suUse.piontly. that he had gotten up. app.wently as usual, on Fri day morning, nfter a ipiiet night, his brother being positive that he could not have had an epileptic attack during the night, and hi family having noticed nothing unusual III hi appear ance or manner, lie had gone to hi work a usual, ami had been soul by the foreman upon an errand, involving a walk of sixteen bbs'k. which errand he luiil partly carried out. ns he bad delivered the package "t the rcpiired place. His next trace of himself is in a distant pari of Ibe city. In the shop of a plumb !', with whom, it seems, be had picked a .iiarrol, and who turned atmoror u a pottoeman. who in turn took him to Ihe station-house, whence he wa sent to the Hellenic Hospital. The police justice Mill him to the hos pital because be app-'ire-l lo be bewil dered, but not drunk, as he answered iilestions intellicilvv. and could walk tH-i fiHM l . Hlltl vet did nut seem well. when he ron -hod the h .spltal he was put lo bed, and soon fell asleep. When Ihe physician came to examine him -imiii after, he wasawak I, and then was in his natural condition, and ap pearing to Ih well, he was discharged and mime home. There appeared to bo no evidence that the boy bad bad a III: his tongue was not bitten, he was not fatigued as he had been after other attacks. Ho wa very intelligent, and took an In lereel in hi condition, finding out the facts which have been related. There had, undoubtedly, beau a total "lapee of consciousness" from Tliurulay night until Friday ufteriio yet during this period he had acted a if conscious, and had fi d Ills way as usual to bis plane of w ork. It seem preferable to speak of such a slate a one of double consciousness, rather than a one of lapse ofeonnoiia- ness, though there is certainly a lapso of memory. He has ha I no subsequent nttnek to my knowledge, having beoft treated with bromide as for epilepsy. A s .what similar ease ha recently come under my observation in consul tation, but vuriou. eliv im.lances sub sequently discovered by the attending physician led us both to deci le that it was a ease of malingering. I have no doubt that others have seen similar eases, though I can not but believe that they ar very rare. Or. M. A. Starr, In Medical News. STANLEY'S MACHINE GUN.
