C*evar Schsms Carried Through by a
Plausibls Woman.
An elegantly dressed Spanish lady
one day visited a specialist lu mental
diseases In Madrid od behalf of her
liusbaud, who, she said, waa a sufferer
from religious mania. Having explain
ed tbe case. It was arranged that she
should return in about an hour with
the afflicted husband.
The lady’s next scene of action waa
a Jeweler's shop In another part of tbe
city, where she selected diamonds to
the value of $5.000 on the understHnd
Ing that she would buy them If ber
husband approved. Would aome one
accompany ber home In a < ab and the
money would he paid immediately? A
trusted clerk waa sent, and with him
the lady drove back to the doctor's
house
In an anteroom she took the
atones “Just to show them to her hus
band." Then, entering with sublime
assurance the doctor's study, she In
formed the specialist that her husband
waa now In the anteroom and ready to
be examined.
Leaving a visiting card, the lady took
her departure, and the doctor, bidding
file supposed patient enter, proceeded
at his leisure to ask professional quea

CATARACT OF THE EYE.

How th« Ona It Attack, May Watch
th, Obstruction Grow.
Cataract is said to lie due to the
gradual deposition of oxalate of lime
In the substance of the crystalline
lens, at first In small spots or streaks,
sometimes In one part and sometimes
In another. The deposit gradually In
creases until it penetrates the whole
of the lens, causing blindness. The
remedy, then. Is to remote the lens,
and after Its removal the patient needs
a suhatltute In the form of highly mng
nlfylng spectacles.
All that Is necessary to enable a
patient to see his own cataract for
himself Is a piece of card and a nee
die. A visiting card will do very well.
Pierce n clean round hole near the
middle of the card and hold the card
up to the light close to the eye, look
Ing preferably In the direction of i
piece of blue sky. With the card near
to the eye the patient will not see the
«mall hole pierced by the needle, but
he will see a comparatively large, faint
ly Illuminated field with his cataract
projected upon It. He is. tn fact, ob
serving the shadow cast by hts cat a
ract on the retina at the back of bls
eye. With a small puncture In the
card the shadow so thrown Is com par
atlvely sharp. But with a normal eye
an evenly Illuminated field or clean
disk will it« seen. The patient may
thus map down his own cataract and
settle for himself whether It Is extend
Ing snd whether he will have an op
«ration or not.

THE MADSTONE.
SEMI-ANNUAL STATEMENT
Valuable Bsoauso Absorbent—A Clay
Pipa Makes a Good Ona.
Physicians are often asked whether
there really Is any virtue in what are
called madstone«. One of them de
clares that these stones are of value,
but that they would be of more value
If their limitations were understood.
“There Is do particular variety of
I atone
or substance which may be des
ignated exclusively as the madstone,”
be says. "I have seen many of them,
so called, and no two were of exactly
the same composition, geologically con
sidered.
“Madstones act on the same principle
that a blotting paper does when ab
sorbing Ink, and there is nothing that
makes a better one than baked pipe
clay. A new clay pipe, procurable for
a cent at nearly any store where to
bacco Is sold, cannot be excelled by
any madstone, no matter how great
Its reputation.
“The action can be clearly demon
strated by placing a common dry red
brick in contact with the margin of a
puddle of water and noticing what
capillary attraction will accomplish.
3 herefore to be efficient the only ne-
cesslty Is for the stone to be porous
and have strong adhesive and absorb-
Nothing mysterious
ent qualities,
about It.
"I have seen several that appear to
be concretions, either vesical, renal or
biliary, and were found in the bladder,
kidney or liver of some animal—those
taken from the deer supposed to be the
best.
“When a person Is bitten by a reptile
or dog supposed to be mad and the
porous stone applied to the wound the
blotting paper action begins, and the
blood, saliva from the mouth of the
animal and whatever poison these
fluids contain will naturally by capil
lary attraction tie absorbed by and
Into tbe substance applied, no matter
what name you may give it.
"The saying that If a stone sticks
the wound Is poisonous and if It does
not take hold there Is no venom pres-
ent ls untrue. If the stoge is clean
and dry it will adhere when moisture
Is within reach till It becomes saturat
ed.
"For Instance, a new red brick will
absorb one pint of water. After the
venom has been taken Into the clrcu-
latlon the madstone Is worthless, but
as the victim Is usually filled with
whisky or alcohol at the same time the
stone is being used the spirits may
counteract the effect of the poison.
"I know of a stone which has a wide
reputation and makeB a good living for
the family owning It. They never let
It go out of their sight, and when the
victim cannot be taken to the stone
one member of the family can be hired
to take the stone to the victim. In ad-
dltion to travellng expenses, they
charge $5 for the application and $2
extra for each hour that the stone
sticks.
"This stone Is busy a large part of
the time. Not long since the stone held
to a man*« leg for over 100 hours, yet
the man died.
Fils life could have
been saved If dependence had not been
placed eoilrely In the atone."—Medical
