CURIOUS PLEASURE.
Sympathy That May Bs Excited by •
Paroxyam of Hysterica.
Some persona derive pleasure from
receiving sympathy, and thia often
causes them, especially if they are
women who have suffered some afflic­
tion. to affect a very demonstrative
grief, its paroxysms timed with shrewd­
ly selfish cunning so as best to attract
the attention and secure the sympathy
of those about them. Often from be­
ing simulated or exaggerated these fits
become real.
And there are other persons who de­
rive a strange satisfaction from excit­
ing the anxiety and eveD tb^ distress
of their friends. This is not uncom­
mon among small children, who are,
however, easily cured by ignoring their
outbursts. Petting them makes them
worse. Hysteria in young women is
often simulated. In his work on "The
Influence of Education on Diseases of
the Nervous System” Dr. Carter says:
“When once a young woman has dis­
covered her power to produce a hysteric
paroxysm at will and has exercised it
for her own gratification without re­ I
gard to the anxiety or annoyance it
may entail on her friends a very re­
markable effect is speedily produced
upon tbe whole mental and moral na­
ture. Tbe pleasure of receiving un­
wonted sympathy once tasted excites
a desire for it that known no bounds.”

ESCAPED THE MADHOUSE.
Daguerre’s First Photograph Came
Just In the Nick of Timo.
If old Mme. Daguerre bad been as
quick to act aa she wes to suspect,
Louis Jacques Daguerre might have
ended bis days in an Insane asylum,
and tbe world might have waited a
century longer for a means of preserv­
ing family likenessea ou bits of paper
or glass.
Up to tbe early thirties of tbe last
century M. Daguerre had behaved as
any well balanced decorator and scene
painter and steadygolng
busband
should nave behaved, and then he be­
gan to experiment with liquids and at­
tempted to fasten sun shadows on
glass or copper sheets. He talked of
a wonderful day when be could make
portraits of bis friends without either
brush or pencil.
In great trepidation Mme. Daguerre
hurried to a doctor and, weeping, told
tbe medical man these symptoms. To
the doctor's discerning mind they
spelled nothing less than insanity, and
In 1838 they set about preparing M.
Daguerre for a visit to tbe asylum at
Blcetre.
But just then tbe unsuspecting vic­
tim of this plot succeeded in fastening
tbe shadow on the copper plate, and
tbe art of photography was born.—

Ths Makings of a Diplomat.
A Laboucbere anecdote Is given tn
the volume of recollections by Sir
Henry Lucy (Toby. M. Pj, to whom
it was told by Labby himself. It con­
cerned the younger son of a peer, who
thought that a berth tn the diplomatic
service was as desirable a place as any
for one who took life rather easily.
He knew nothing of the special sub­
jects upou which tbe preliminary ex­
amination was based, but there was at
least tbe promise of a lark. As far as
be could make out, he did not supply a
single correct answer to the long list
of questions,

Nevertheless he came
out first in the competition, it was a
surprise even for a confident young
lordliug. Meeting

one of the exam-
iners nt dinuer a few days later, he
ventured 1 to ask how the thing came

nothing," ” was the reply. “

The Dangerous Age.
As the thirties slip behind him the
wise man will train himself to realize
that the "good old days" when be could
do exactly as be liked and not pay for
It have gone forever. Gone are tbe
days when fatigue from extra work
and loss of sleep speedily passed off
when the stress of work had ended.
At forty recuperation takes longer.
Both brain and body when once thor­
oughly overworked and tired out are
likely to remaiu below par for days or
weeks. Tbe body may not be in the
least diseased, but it Is not so strong
as it once was and requires more
thought and care. Tbe reason that so
many men suffer from ill health in tbe
fifties is that they neglect these signs
nnd live throughout tbe dangerous age
at the same pace and with tbe same
waste of vital energies as in the twen­
ties. Tbe abuse their systems receive
in the “dangerous years” leave them
with no reserve stamina and vigorous
health to support them into a bale nnd
hearty old age.—London Family Her-

WAIL OF THE DONKEY.
Harken to It In China if You Want to
Tremble In Terror.
In all tbe east today tbe donkey is a
favorite means of transportation both
for travelers and merchandise. It was
so iu tbe days of tbe patriarchs Isaac
and Jacob, says the Louisville Courier-
Journal. and so it will probably re­
main for ages to come.
But uotbing io China is just like the
same thing anywhere else in the
world, and tbe donkey is no exception.
Dr. Chester of Nashville, who while
evangelizing in Arkansas In his young­
er days had become familiar with the
easy amble of tbe long eared American
species, was induced to make trial of
tbe Chinese type during a visit to
China a few years ago. His experi­
ence was disappointing. Tbe gait was
a rough. Insufferable jog, and the
characteristic bray was a painful
phenomenon in tbe realm of sound.
Dr. Chester reports his impressions as
follows:
"Tbe power of heredity, working
through millenniums of Isolation, with
no modification from foreign admix­
ture, has developed in the bray of tbe
Chinese donkey a quality all its own.
There are no words In English to de­
scribe tbe heartrending pathos of it
It was as if an appeal to heaven
against the cruelty and oppression of
ages were at last finding utterance in
one long. loud, undulating walL And
when our party of three met another
party of six and all nine of the don­
keys began at one time to exchange
the compliments of the day then pa­
thos gave place to terror, and you
could only sit. appalled and trembling,
as the mighty reverberation rolled
away on its journey round tbe world.”

HOW TO GROW STRONG.
The Eight Natural Exercise* Give the
Best Physical Culture.
it is not logical for a man to swing
in tbe air banging on two rings by his
bands, according to George Hebert, a
French naval lieutenant who has de­
voted himself to tbe study of physical
culture. Such exercise demands ab­
normal efforts, which must be harmful
|
because they do not respond to any ne­
cessity.
For the same reason it Is poor gym­
nastics to raise and hold the arm in tbe
air while holding tbe rest of the body
motionless Tbe result of such action
is incomplete development Tbe arm
should be exercised by throwing some­
thing. by climbing or by boxing, and
the legs should be exercised by run­
ning or swimming. because these essen­
tially natural movements have a happy
reaction on tbe whole organism.
A particular movement may be inter­
esting in the case of invalidism when
tlie subject Is capable of ordinary ex­
ercise. but when people are in bealtb
and anxious to become strong there is
only one means of obtaining physical
improvement and only one form of ef­
ficacious physical culture.
That Is to carry out such exercises as
were imposed by nature upon the men
of the forests and such as are in use
now among savages. These are walk­
ing. running, leaping, climbing, lifting.
jumping, boxing and smimming. All the
obligations of primitive life have a
place In these eight natural exercises.—

Three Ideas of Nothing,

"nothing.” He wrote the question on

Worry Fills ths Asylums.
An eastern alienist told the Mental
Hygiene socletj' that if worry could be
eliminated the number of our insane
would be decreaased by 40 per cent.
His assertion is corroborated by other
experts.
Tbe diagnosis, one sees, Is delightful­
ly simple, but tbe remedy is bard to
apply. Worry is of two sorts—that
which conies from within and that
which is imposed from without Tlie
nervous specialist treats the first and
mental suggestion succeeds In a cer-
tain proportion of cases. As for the
worry incident to our mad scramble to
survive, the doctors we look to in that
case are tlie economists and the so
clologlsts. The problem of the nerve
specialist Is not an easy one, but it
looks almost simple when compared
with the problem of the economists.
Both sets of doctors are making bend­
way. and at present we may look for
much improvement In our insanity sta­
tistics. So let us not worry about
worry, but work to remove its causes.
