There is probably not a rural community in the State which pays more public school tax than ours, and the only reason the special tax was not voted several years ago was that the school district could not be arranged just to suit all parties.

Baay t tb Ceadltlona Are Ulld Farms of If ental Disturbance, Dr. Woods Hatehlnsoa, la Ssturaaf gTsalag The imagination may magnify the sufferings of a particular ill ness and increase the length of time that the victim' will imagine himself or herself sick, and it can, of course, inflict' lrightful amounts of discomfort and dis tress upon the members of their families, bnt it seldom or never goes beyond this. One can no more imagine himself into a se rious illness than he can, by tak ing thought, add a cubic to his stature. ' -..' One consideration should al ways be allowed to temper either our mirth or our indignation in dealing with these poor malades imaginaires; and that is, that every one of them really is sick, if only ever so little. They may not be one-tenth so sick as they think they are, and their disease may be as different as the poles from that which they are proud to boast it is, but they actually are diseased in some respect or they would neither, invent nor persist in these -singular delusions. To say that they are "merely hysterical, "does not help the mat ter in the least in the direction of explanation; for we are utterly in the dark as to what hysteria means, except that it is a group of symptoms chat never appear in a perfectly healthy individual Many of these conditions can actually be recognized as mid frms of mental disturbance. Such, for instance, were the pa tient invalids and pious suff erers who filled the Sunday- school literature and the books of devotion of a bygone genera tion. Their principal defect was a boundless self-esteem border ing upon megalomania, accompa nied by a placid indifference to the suffering and discomfort that they might inflict upon others. I well remember in the early days of my practice one good mother of this type who bad de veloped at about forty years of age a mysterious and incurable spinal complaint. This gradual ly crippled her inch by inch, in flicting excruciating tortures, her irresponsible groans pf an guish under which could be heard half a mile away, until finally she became unable to move band or foot and was confined to her room for six years. Her piety was most exemplary. Being unable to attend the pub lic means of grace, special ses sions and prayer meetings were held regularly in her room, and she was looked upon as one of the pillars of the church. une oi the most agonizing symptoms of her disease was that, while it left her com para lively free from pain during the day, it invaribly woke up to ward evening, and caused her to suffer the tortures of the damned all night. The only re lief that she could obtatin, and inac ox a most trivially par tial character, came from be ing rubbed incessantly for hours at a stretch by her husband or daughters, one of whom had to be in constant attendance upon her nearly all night long. Enthusi astic revivalists had attempted time after time to heal her by prayer, but their efforts were un successful. Satan was too strong for them. She must be tortured to show the power of sustaining grace. One day the nearest neighbor, a quarter of a mile away, was as tonished to see this hopeless para lytic rush wildly into his house, exclaiming, "Hurry, Mr- John son; our house is on fire!" It appeared that during the ab- Do you know that Pinesalve Uarbolized acts like a poultice in drawing out inflammation 'and poison? It is antiseptic. For oats, Darns, eczema, cracked hands sence Of all the rest of the family some clothing left to dry near the kitchen stove had caught fire. and when the hopeless invalid smelled the smoke and saw the flames rushing op the'stairway, she jumped out of the window on to the porch roof and slid down one of the pillars. ; Needless to say, her cure was permanent 8he never could fool that family or that neighborhood any more. It afterward turned out that such Intervals of the night watches -as she was not requir ing rubbing by some member of her family, .she had been in the habit of perambulating about the house, helping herself to. what she wanted in the pantry, and had even started the report of "hanta" in the, house to account for some mysterious noises which excited the curiosity of the f ami It may be mentioned in passing that it hasjbecome an axiomatic rule with, physicians -for. some years past, whenever a report of a certain house being haunted is started, to look for some hysteri cal or imaginary invalid in the family. They are the real wo men in white, the sheeted figures that come sweeping along dark passageways at grewsome hours of the night. ; ,U Colored Notes Favored by 4 Bankers. : ' Atlantic City (N. J.) Dlssateh Sept. 97. If the secretary of the treasury will grant a request contained in a resolution pre sented today at the American Bankers' Association's conven tion, the teller's desk of the average national bank will some what resemble the ribbon counter of a department Jstore. The resolution proposes that each denomination of bank notes be made of a certain color, as fol lows: - One-dollar notes, slate; twos brown; fives, green; tens, blue; twenties, yellow; fifties, pink, and one hundred and over. white.

D. Powers, ot Louisville;vice-president,George M. Reynolds, Chicago. At the meeting of the execu tive council this afternoon Lewis B. Pierson, of New York, was elected chairman of the coun cil. F. E.
