What is Castoria is Dr. Samuel Pitcher’s prescription for Inlhnts and Children. It contains neither Opium, Morphine nor other Narcotic substance. It is a harmless substitute for Paregoric, Drops, Soothing Syrups, and Castor Oil. It is Pleasant. Its guarantee is thirty years* use by Millions of Mothers. Castoria destroys Worms and allays feverishness. Castoria prevents vomiting Sour Curd, cures Diarrhoea and Wind Colic. Castoria relieves teething troubles, cures constipation and flatulency. Castoria assimilates the food, regulates the stomach and bowels, giving healthy and natural sleep. Cas* toria is the Children’s Panacea—the Mother's Friend. ” Castoria Is an excellent medicine for chil dren. Mothers bare repeatedly told me of Its good effect upon their children." Da. q. c. Osoood, Lowell, Maas. "Castoria la the best remedy for children of which 1 am acquainted. I hope the day is not far distant when mothers will consider the real Interest of their children, and use Castoria in stead of the various quack nostrums which are destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful agents down their throats, thereby —nding them to premature graves.” Da. J. F. EipcBXLoa, Conway, Ark. uasiona. “ Castoria Is so well adapted to children that I recommend it as superior to any pnsoipNn known to me.” H. A. Abchmb, ML D., Ill Bo. Oxford St.. Brooklyn, N. T. “ Our physicians in the children's depart ment have spoken highly of their experi ence in their outside practice with Castoria, and although we only have among our medical supplies what la known aa regular products, yet we are free to confess th-t the merits of Castoria has won us to look with favor upon it."

RESIDUAL PHENOMENA OF THE MINC IN SANE PEOPLE. i - Thl» Feature of Complex Personality It Beit Seen la the Caie of • So Called Al> eentmlnded Boxlneu Man—Experience! of the Sleeping Mind. Evidence is not wanting to show that what we call personality is an extremely complex thing, the sum of subsidiary per sonalities which now shift and change like the figures in a kaleidoscope, and again becoming sharply defined undei some abnormal condition crystallize intc two or more distinct groups of elements, which alternately sleep and wake oi even coexist. These complex elements may be so unstable, the groups compos ing them constantly breaking up and forming new combinations, that the idea of multiple personality does not natural ly attach itself to them; it is only when they become stable, and especially when each exhibits a well defined conscious ness that we begin to think of such a thing. But besides the abnormal and diseased conditions wtiich cause such a separation or crystallization there are other conditions in which in appears somewhat less distinctly. To one class of these 1 desire to call attention very briefly—to that embracing what may bi called cases of residual personality. Residual phenomena of all kinds arc particularly interesting and instructive, especially those where the few things re maining in a group after many have been removed differ widely in their collective properties from those that have been taken away, while these latter are not in any way distinguishable from those of the sum of both before the division This is the case often with residual per sonality. Nothing is more common than for a group of elements in what we call a person to be differentiated in one of various ways, leaving behind a residual group differing altogether in its charac teristics. though the differentiated group represents to us and is considered to be identical with the original person. 1 he commonest method of such differ entiation is sleep. The elements of sleep are, as it were, substracted from the normal personality, but there is usually left behind a very curious some thing-illogical, credulous, fantastic— whoso nightly experiences the whole re united person recollects in the morning as dreams. The next commonest case is that of the absentminded person. The major part of the person being absorbed in mental processes of some sort, the re sidual person lives its own separate men tal life, thinks, feels and wills by itself, and perhaps carries on a train of proc esses which is continuous with a preced ing train carried on under similar cir cumstances the day before. This residual person may act very mechanically. The reunited person may fail to recollect what its acts or thoughts were and be surprised to find how it has been making use of his limbs while he— what he vainly regards as the one un alterable ego—has been absorbed in thought. But, on the other hand, it maf be perfectly conscious and may carry on an entirely different train of thought of its own. Almost always, however, it is eccentric and betrays a weakness at one point or another. For instance, a suburban resident, whom we will call A, is accustomed on landing at the New York side of the ferry to abandon the mechanical task of walking to his office entirely to his resid ual personality and to give up the major part of himself to thought. The two per sonalities act often with perfect—always with practical—separateness, the residual person being quite equal to the low task of evading vehicles, steering clear of pass ersby and turning the proper corners. When the office is reached and the two persons again become one, it is often a difficult task to remember any circum stances of the walk. On one occasion, however, A left the Astor library on Lafayette place, as he supposed, intending to walk down Clin ton place. To do this he must turn first to the left, then to the right and then again to the left. He turned once to the left, and after some time became dimly conscious that he had walked for a long time, and that the place for the second turn had not been reached. coming to mmseir. ne ronna mmseif far down Broadway. Tracing back his course mentally, he discovered that he had been in the Mercantile library in stead of the Astor. His first turn there fore had taken him down Broadway, and he of course did not reach the place for the second. Mark now the peculiarities of his residual person. It knew just where it was to turn and in what direc tion. and had sense enough to be uneasy when it did not come to the proper place to turn, but it had not intelligence enough to know that it was on the wrong street. Its mind was too weak to be trusted further than it was accustomed to go. This residual person, in short, was about on a par with a harmless idiot. Again. B. a New Yorker, is walking along absorbed in a process of thought, when his residual personality sees his friend C approaching. It is not aston ished. for he is nearC’s lodgings, but as the person supposed to be C comes near er. it sees that he only slightly resembles C. He has on shabby clothes, and his face is entirely different. The natural conclusion would be that the person ap- : proaching was not C. The residual per Bon, however, does not argue thus It concludes that C has greatly changed, that he has become poor and that his appearance has altered for the worse. Pity and surprise are plainly felt by j the residual person. During these men- i tal processes, so similar to those of a [ dream residual, the major person has kept on with his own train of thought. Finally, however, on the close approach of the supposed C, they unite in a flash into the normal person, the two separate consciousnesses become one. and the truth is recognized at once. No doubt these cases can be paralleled by thou sands of others. It seems to me that they are as true instances of double per sonality as any exhibited by epileptic or hyponotic persons.—A. E Bostwick in Science. A HYPNOTIC imposter. ... ..'simian lVlio Could Do Many Thing! I or Teacher* of Hypnotism. The subject who came to me had been \ shining light in the profession, and 1 lave reason to know that he was ex ceptionally gifted. He had performed tc crowded houses under several greai artists at the Aqnarium, and elsewhere in London and the provinces. Ho had figured at select seances of scientific hyp notists. He had been privately operated on by medical men anxiously seeking after truth. And, by his own statement he had humbugged them all. What proof had I, then, that he was not hum bugging me? Ample proof. He offered in the first place, to do under my direc tion everything which he had done it public and private seances when undei supposed hypnotic control. I contem plated, in the first instance, accepting this offer and giving a demonstration tc a select circle, and it was solely owing tc myself that this was not done. As a preliminary, I asked him to ex hibit a few of his powers for my private edification. Se complied without hesita tion. He first of all passed himself intc the “cataleptic” state and lay on the floor rigid. Two members of my stafl took him in this condition and laid him across the backs of two chairs—the back of his head resting on one and his heels on the other. He remained so for several minutes. On a pass being made ovei him with the hand, his body became arched upward or downward. Twc fairly robust individuals next sat on his body, and the “cataleptic” supported them without signs of inconvenience. He then himself thrust a needle into his arm and through the lobe of his ear, tc prove that he was insensible to pain while in the cataleptic state. Next he showed how one side of his face could be drawn down by toothache (“suggested” by the operator), while the other side was distended in a broad grin. Again, at the “suggestion” of the oper ator, the grin and the toothache changed sides, and so on. He offered to swallow an ounce of cayenne pepper in a glass of water, but unfortunately I had no cay enne pepper at hand. 1 asked him whether he could take a wineglassful ol ipecacuanha, and he professed readiness to do it at once. The cayenne pepper I could partly understand. It would be a mere question of standing a certain amount of pain. But 1 asked him how he managed to control the effect of the ipecacuanha. “We only do it for a time,” he said. “You can learn to do it with practice, like the rest of the tricks. But we always bring the stuff up after the performance.” He also expressed his readiness to drink oil. Among novel tricks which he offered to perform was that of “slow ing” the pulse while under hypnotic influ ence. Of this he claimed to be the orig inal inventor. I asked him whether all the “subjects” were equal imposters. “All,” he said. He knew them all per sonally and would answer for them. He ridiculed the mere suggestion that there could be anything genuine in hypnotism, whether in Paris, London or anywhere else, but here he may have spoken be yond his knowledge.—London Truth. A Reminiscence of Fanny Kemble. The late Fanny Kemble is remembered by old residents of Germantown and Philadelphia as a superb horsewoman. She had a fiery temper, which matched that of her husband. Pierce Butler, and speedily brought about what is still one one of the most noted divorce trials re ported in the law books. In her youth she was remarkably beautiful, and in the role of Juliet she was the personifica tion of dazzling loveliness. She was not ed for her keenness of wit even in the days of her old age. Once, when an im pertinent street lounger stepped up to her while she was looking in the window of a bric-a-brac store and said, “Are you fond of antiquities?” Mrs. Kemble quick ly unpinned her veil and turning on the man her aged face (she was then 73) asked, “Are you?” One of Mrs. Kemble’s daughters is Mrs. Wistar of German town, well known in literature.—Har per’s Weekly. A Matter of Fact Dog. There are prosaic men and women, and there are matter of fact dogs. For purely business purposes they are often the best. We once owned an excellent retriev ing spaniel of the simple order of mind, without a grain of humor. This dog ac companied us unasked when we wanted to shoot a bullfinch in the garden to stuff. The gun went off. and the poor bullfinch dropped. Now, this dog had been used, when the gun was fired, to go and look for a dead or wounded rabbit. So, instead of looking under the apple tree, he dis appeared into the hedge, and in a few minutes he returned with a rabbit in his mouth! So much for the value of a matter of fact dog.—London Spectator. Tlio First and Last Time. On a sultry day in August an aged negro who gloried in the name of Pom pey, was driving through Main street in Springfield, Mass., a poor old skeleton of a horse attached to a heavy load of wood. By the most frantic efforts the horse had succeeded in dragging his load over an unusually high crossing when sud denly the poor animal stopped, reared in the air and fell dead on the street. Pompey stood for a moment in silent astonishment, with extended hands, pend ent lip and bulging eyeballs, then ex claimed, “By gum! I nebber knowed him do dat afore!”—Cor. New York Press. A First Thought In Church. A little western boy less than 3 years old was taken to church for the first time. He gazed about with much inter est and finally asked in a clear but awe struck voice, “Mamma, where’s God?"— New York Tribune. Lore For Teachers. “Do you love your teacher?” “I suppose I have to.” “Why so. Tommy?” “Because the Bible says we must love our enemies.”—New York Telegram. REPROOF IN LOVE. Because we are shut out from light. Each of the other's look and smile: Because the arms' and lips' delight Are past and dead a weary while; Because the dawn that joy has brought Brings now but certainty of pain. Nothing for you and ine has bought The right to live our lives in vain. Take not away the only lure ' That leads me on my lonely way— To know you noble, sweet ami pure. Great in least service day by day. — Wives and Daughters. How a Saber Cut Feels. •‘I hardly know how it feels to be shot, but I well realize how it feels to be cut,” Eaid Mr. 0. D. Reeves of Indianapolis a: the Lindell. “I enlisted in a cavaln regiment when I was 16 and put in four years for Uncle Sam. Do you see this scar? That was doii9 at Nashville,” and he held up his left hand, which was al most encircled by a deep scar. “The boys were ordered to charge, and I had emptied my pistols and had just drawn my saber when I saw hearing down upon me one of the largest men 1 ever saw. “Our horses were both going at full speed, and he was headed directly for me. He launched his blow first, and I instinctively threw up my hand and lowered my head. The saber struck my hand, which fell helplessly by my side. Th# man flew past me, and I turned my horse to one side and rode far enough away to examine my wound. No blood escaped, neither did I feel any pain until the wound was dressed a half hour later. The reaction set in, and the strongest opiates were used for days to give me re lief from pain.”—St, Louis Republic. The Thumb. Thumbs have been appreciated ever since the world began. The ancients used to call the thumb the other hand. Barbarous kings used to swear and make compacts by their thumbs. In Rome it was a sign of favor to wring and kiss the thumb, and of disfavor or disgrace to lift them up or turn them outward. A man who was hurt in his thumbs was excused from serving in the Roman wars. Some of the scoundrelly citizens used t* cut off their thumbs, so as to remain home and get rich. Teachers used to punish their pupils by biting their thumbs. The thumb is a great and influential member. I can look at the thumb of a young woman and describe her figure. 1 can tell whether she is thin and bony, or plump and round; whether her joints are large and ill shapen, or small and perfectly proportioned. By examining a man’s thumb I can tell what ought to be his vocation.—New York Tribune. Its Song Is Like the Filing of a Saw. Of the Acadian owl, one of the rarest of New England birds, Audubon saysr “This little owl is known in Massachu setts by the name of the ‘saw whet.' the sound of its love notes bearing a great resemblance to the noise produced by filing the teeth of a large saw. These notes, when coming, as they frequently do, from the interior of a deep forest, produce a very peculiar effect on the traveler, who, not being aware of their real nature, expects as he advances on his route to meet with shelter under a sawmill at no great distance. Until 1 shot the bird in the act I had myself been more than once deceived in this manner.” — The Restless Man. Of all tiresome things a restless man is the worst. A restless woman cannot be gin to come up to a restless man. She gets physically tired out after awhile and must sit down. But a man—he can go on and on forever. In cafes, railroad trains, theaters—in fact, wherever men do congregate—there also is the restless man, driving every one distracted with his ceaseless tramp ing. He goes up, and he goes down, but he is never weary.—New York Herald. His Regard For Himself. The comfortable, well clad citizen was going along Woodward avenue home the other evening when a big, burly tramp stopped him and asked for a dime. The citizen looked him over and asked: “Do you have no more regard for yourself than to beg on the streets?” “That's just it, boss,” was the reply. “It’s because I have regard for myself that I do. There’s too many dogs in the back yards.”—Detroit Free Press. In Politics It Is “Pull.** From the Hopeful Young Man to the Pastor—As I stand in the broad avenue of life I find so many closed doors I know not which one to open. Ho’ can I tell which will lead me to success . From the Practical Pa. or to the YoungMan—There’s onlyone, -"dyou’ll find it labeled “Push.”—Exchange. Saving and Spending. “I saved up $3.08 last year.” said Wal lis proudly. “And I suppose you spent it on pres ents for your papa and mamma?” asked the visitor. “Yes,” said Wallis. "That is, all but $3 of it.”—Harper’s Bazar. The man who, after studying a hun dred women, thought he knew the sex thoroughly, admitted, on intimate ac quaintance with the one hundred and first, that he was densely ignorant of the nature of any ono of them. The living alumni of the University of Michigan are said to number twice as many as the living alumni of any other educational institution in this country. Harvard is reported to be next, with I Yale a good third. It is said that when dressed in the European gowns a Japanese wife pre cedes her husband in entering a room, while in the eastern dress she must fol low him. Richter was fond of pets and at one time kept a great spider in a paper box, carefully feeding and tending the crea ture for many months. The Japanese say, “A man takes a drink, then the drink takes a drink, and the next drink takes the man.” Uhilaren Cry ror Pitcner s Castoriau When Baby was sick, wo gave her Castorta.
