they promise her the threef whiter gifts if
she will come for them the next1 morn
ing,' and When she does come, a? she
surely will, she is given a handful of
flour, X handful of salt and an egg. In
Morocce!1t is customary to place & ' dag
ger under the pillow at night to ward off
the nightmare, and in Greece a black
handled knife is. supposed to .have the
same effect. The ancient Germans be
lieved that nightmare was due to a
demon who during sleep seated himselfL
upon the chest of the sleeper and op
pressed his breathing.
The symptoms of nightmare are varia- i
ble, though they may be always extreme
ly disagreeable. It may be a realistic
sensation of falling from a high place,
such as the summit Of a steep precipice,
or one may suffer all the horrors of a
flood or fire or a struggle with enemies
superior in force and number. Frantic
animals may attack or spring upon the
sleeper, and with all These visions there
is an inexpressible anguish and pain,
with a sense of imminent danger, escape
or defense seeming impossible, while the
victim is unable to cry out for assist
ance or in the always present struggle at
last utters a groan or two which may
awake him.
Nightmare is especially distinguishable
from dreams by the sensation of depres
sion and suffocation. It is, in fact, a true
temporary miniature delirium. Some
times, long after awakening, it leaves the
Riibiect a Drev to nervous anxiety, violent
palpitation and unusual debility. In fact,
it has a marked analogy with' insanity,
and if it is constantly recurring it may
be of serious portent, pointing to some af
fection of the brain or mind. Not that
nightmare causes nervous disease or in
sanity, but that nervo'us disease pre-existing
causes, on the contrary, this special
disposition of the brain to temporary de
lirium
From this it can be understood why
nightmare is often hereditary, just as ab
normal nervous impressionability may be
inherited. The child, too, sensitive to the
slightest impression, a living bundle of
nerves, is more especially

FUN FOE THE PLEBE.
A WEST POINT CADET WHO KNOCKED
OUT ALL COMERS.
He Whipped Thirty .Youths ox the
Yearling Class and Then Finished
Up Every Man of the First Class
Who Called Him Ont.
The hazers of West l oint ran upl
against a hard proposition when they
encountered J ohn Patrick . Sullivan . of
Louisiana. He is the youth of musclt
and brawn who as a. plebe whipped 30
cadets of the "yearling" class and every
cadet of the first class who called him
out " He was so busy with fights that
sometimes he had" as many as four in one
day, and he never lost a battle. He was
the best scrapper" the Military academy
ever saw and as a plebe used to whip
upper class men as fast as they appeared
before him.
Sullivan was "found ia-math" in Janu
ary, 1897. "Found in math" means
"found deficient in mathematics." He
therefore left the academy, but the re
membrance of his prowess still remains
there. In his "plebe camp" Sullivan was
challenged by every yearling who was of
equal weight with him and whipped them
all, sometimes meeting as many as four.
Then the first class was weighed in and
met the "rapid plebe," one by one. Sulli
van won all the fights and kept the doc
tors at the hospital busy. Scarcely a day
but some man reported at the hospital

power of the mind to project ideas into
space and with the eye to see them as
actualities imbued with life. Next in sus
ceptibility are women and some men
whose brains have remained in the infan
tile state properly called simple minded.
Anaemia, fever, disturbance of the circu
lation caused by diseases of the heart of
the large blood vessels, disturbed respira
tion due to asthma or a full stomach are
the most freauent predisposing causes
and are as powerful as nervous disturb
ances, such as hysteria and hypochondria,
in causing nightmare.
Sometimes nightmare is due to pro
longed wakefulness, a radical change in
diet or faulty position of the body, such
as lying upon the back or face. Some
times it is due to some mechanical inter
ference, such as an aneurism or even
swollen tonsils.
In nervous persons emotional in charac
ter nightmare may be caused by grewsome
tales or woeful spectacles, grief, discoui
agement, hatredi anger, etc. In fact, the
most intense nightmare is due to exalta
tions of passion due to the loss of dearly
loved relatives or friends, sudden and
extreme reverse of fortune, disappointed
ambition, the fear of disease or even a
shock to one's self love and esteem.
The treatment of nightmare consists in
awakening the subject and if there is
perturbation of mind giving some mildly
sedative potion, such as warm water
sweetened with sirup of lettuce. Follow
ing this, care should be taken to remove
the supposed cause to prevent recurrence
of the nightmare. - In the case of children
intense moral impressions, weird stories
and grewsome tales should be avoided, es
pecially before bedtime.
The child should be put to bed early
to avoid the exciting environment of the
social circle, of animated conversation
and convivial jollity. The evening meal
should be a light one both as to quantity
and quality of food and drink, avoiding
highly spiced relishes and stimulating
drinks. The chamber should be spacious
and well ventilated, the bed not too soft
and without too much bedclothing. Per-
fppt. muscular relaxation, avoidance of
false positions and perfect freedom, all
compression interfering with respiration
nr circulation, must be avoided. The feet
ought to be warm and lower than the
head. The body should be extended
and not cuddled up into a ball.
The bed ought to be slightly inclined
from head to foot, but the proper eleva
tion of the head varies according to tem
perament. Anaemic people need to have
the head quite low, but full blooded peo
ple rest easier if the head is higher. An
oYPitnhle. congested brain may be re
lieved by. warm baths, tonics and anti
spasmodics like the bromides and va
lerian. If there Is a tendency to palpita
Hon. the person should lie upon the1 right
side. If the.Uv.er is disordered by chron
ic digestive troubles, the person should
lie on the left side. The stomach should
be in good condition, especially if there
is flatulence due to gastric torpidity,
leading to fermentation of&obd, and dila
tion of the stomach shoulde energetical

In Bacon's "Natural History," which is
quamtly worded and based oh very Crude

grain of truth, "Mushrooms cause the in

same might be said of Welsh rabbits and
similar indigestible delicacies eaten just
before retiring. These lie hard on the
stomach and cause more horrible dreams
in those not hardened to such gor

all food before retiring, for often a light

was not a quarrelsome fellow by any
means, but his name and his prowess
caused him a lot of trouble, It was a
case of fight with him as soon as he went
into barracks as a "beast." Several year

and asked the usual questions. When the

"No" rpnliprt the candidate: "1 am

After the usual instructions about the

asked, "Can you fight, Mr. Sullivan?

Sullivan got his snare 01 missing at uibi

they told him to stand at the door of his
tent and. whistle for rain. He did so
cheerfully and whistled long and loud.
He never resented any of the usual testa
which were applied to cadets, but the
readiness with which he accepted a chal

his opponents out of commission were
traits which made the upper class men
rather wary of deviling him.
The youth from Louisiana was respect
ed at the Point for his physical qualities,
even if the academic board had doubts as
to his mathematical ability. Perhaps he
would have done better in "math" if he
had not had so much fighting to do. It is
rather difficult to "bone math" and whip
four upper class men a day. Sullivan's
name is one which will long be a consol

men at the academy, for though the days
of fighting are over the class feeling is
