Queer Hysteria In a Turkish Town.
Dr. Dimopouloe, a medical prac
titioner of tho town of Kntahia, in
Asia MinorcendfltoaSmrns jmrnal
particulars of an "epidemic" among
women of that town, which has prob
ably no parallel in modern experi
ence. About three years ago ayoung
woman became subject to a form of
biccongh like the crow of a cock,
which resisted treatment ; soon after
a second woman began to hiccough
like a cat mewing, and in six months
there were 60 women in the town
affected with what may be described
as animal hiccoughs, exceedingly
varied. Braying and barking and
sounds like those made by the fox
are included in the list. Dr. Dimo
poulos says that to be in a room
among a number of these women
was like an experience of the forest
or a menagerie. Some men are af
fected, but the victims are mostly
women, which is intelligible, if the
doctor's theory is correct, that the
disease, for which he vouches, is a
form of imitative hysteria. Con

Saturday In Holland.
Saturday in Holland is exclusively
devoted to honse cleaning, within
and withont. Early in the morning
every stick of furniture is cart-fully
rubbed and wiped and taken out of
the boose. Then the women, with
their skirts tucked up, entirely flaod
the rooms with bucket after bucket
of water, broght up from the canal
by means of the shoulder-yoke.
With broom and brush they souse
and scrub the red-tiled floor and
finally pull up a plug in one corner
to let the water flow out let ue
hope into the canal.
While the floor is drying, a great
polishing goes on in the street.
Quaint old brass lamps and candle
stick, tobacco-boxes and ash trays,
huge milk cans all are bnrnished
until, like golden mirrors, they re
flect the red-cheeked, white capped
faces bent over them.
The lacquer-man is busy on Satur
day, lie goes from house to house
painting the bread-trays and honey
cake boxes with designs of gaudy
birds and wonderons leaves and
flowers.
The street is in a turmoil until
noon, when order is partially re
stored and the scanty midday meal
partaken of. In the afternoon wash
ing is resumed. The exteriors of
the cottages are scrubbed from roof
to pavement and every trace of mold
removed, for in this low, wet air the
green moss gathers quickly. Then
the bright pavements are drenched
and carefully dried, and I have seen
the women slip off their sabots and
tiptoe to their doorwayB in their
wooden chaussons, so as not to soil
the immaculate sidewalk.
Lastly, towards evening, the en
tire village goes to the canal and all
the sabots are washed and whitened
with pumice-stone, spotless for to
morrow. On Saturday evening all
the pickets of the low back fences
are decorated with rows of dripping
foot-gear, carefully graduated in size
from the big wooden shoes of the
father down to the tiny sabots of
the youngest born. feenbner s.

President McKlnley as a flan.
Added to tho general indiirnatlon
over the fiendish crime has been the
feeling that President McKinley
represented to the entire American
public the highest type of manhood,
lie has been remarkable for his tact
in dealing with all public questions,
for his bravery where courage was
required and for the perfection of
his conduct in private life.
As a hiiBband he has boon looked
upon as a modil, and in his recent
tour through the country, the illness
of Mrs. McKlnley and the attendant
circumstances brought to public
notice tho devotion of the president
to his invalid wifo.
The same qualities have character
ized his career from the beginning.
As a young lawyer he voluntarily
defended several laboring men,
strikers, who had been unjustly ac
cused of incendiarism in connection
with a strike. Although he secured
their acquittal he refused pay for
his services.
During the war he fought upon
tho Union side, but he distinguished
himself by deeds that deserved the
commendation of both foe and com
rade. At the bloody battle of
Antietam, under the hottest fire,
with men lying dead and dying all
about him, the wounded suffering
bitterly from the want of a bite to
eat or a drop to drink, "Sergeant"
Mckinley organized a stall and
went over the bloody field distribut
ing food and coffee to the fighting
men, cheering them on with brave
words and never for an instant
seeming to care for the shot and
shell that were flying about him.
His loyalty to his friends several
times deprived him of the presi
dency. As a delegate from Ohio
in the Republican national con
vention in lbS8. he was there to ad
vocate the nomination of John
Sherman. There was a growing
sentiment in favor of the nomina
tion of McKinley, but the latter de
clared he could not remain silent
with honor nor consistent with the
credit of Ohio, honorable fidelity to
John Sherman; or with his own
views of personal iutergrity "con
sent or seem to consent to be a
candidate." He said : "I would
not respect myself if I could find it
in my heart to do or to say, or to
permit it to be done, that which
would even be ground for anyone to
suspect that I wavered in my loyalty
to Ohio, or my devotion to the chief
of her choice and the chief of mine.
I do not request, I demand that no
delegate who would not cast a re
flection upon me, shall cast a ballot
for me."
Four years later the same gener
ous act was repeated when he re
fused to accede to the enthusiasm of
the delegates, but stood by his
friend, President Harrison.
Ilis unvarying courtesy has ex
tended far beyond his home life and
circle of friends. It is shown in his
dealings with acquaintances and
strangers, with political friend and
political opponent alike. In public
debates, he was never known to say
an nnkind word of any man.
In a country where hereditary
nobility is not recognized he has
shown himself to be one of natore's
noblemen. Asheville Citizen.

Thirty-eight years ago, during
the war between the States, the
Northern soldiers, in a chase after
John Starnes frightened bira so
badly that he turned over a large
box on himself, and lay there hidden
until they had gone. When night

woods and since that time he has
made that box his home. John
Starnes is now a wild man. His
photograph does him justice. It
was taken while he was feeling the

run from a horse, cow or sheep.
The only way by which you can see
the wild man is by slipping upon
him when at his box house. Then
he will stop and look yon straight
in the face. If yon will agree with
him then he will talk, but unless
yon de he will either get his un or
go into his box.
Starnes is now fifty-five years old.
Before the war he assisted his father
in making hats. The hat he now
wears was made before the war by
hi lather.
He offers no excuse for his way
of living. He will accept money
from no one. Ue will "enss" if you
offer him money. lie is in excellent

DISFIGURING THE BIBLE.
Tbe New Translations Have Destroy
ed the Beauty of tbe King
James Version.
Vsrious new translations of the
Bible have appeared of late and the
work or tho American revisers, hith
erto printed in an appendix to the
lie vised Version of two decades ago,
has just been incorporated with the
text and published in a now edition.
The English scholars engaged upon
the work of revision wore more con
servative than their American breth
ren, and were less anxious to change
the phraseology which had become
endeared to generations of readers
and interwoven with the whole fab
ric of English literature sins the
middle of the seventeenth century.
But the ideal of both was "better
English as now understood." It is
interesting to uote what these emi
nent scholars consider "better Eng
lish." They throw out in the first
plsce uses of words perfectly famil
iar through long acquaintance, tho'
undoubtedly archaic; they substi
tute "tempt" for "try," "anticipate"
for "prevent," "living" for "quick,"
"its" for "his," "knew" for "wist ;"
they transform "God forbid" into
"far tie it," "meat" into "food" and
'fulfill" into "make full." All this
is done for t'le sake of simplicity.
But the same argument might be
urged in favor of modernizing Shake
speare. Even the argument that
there are misleading translations in
King James' version does not cover
this spoliation of English literature.
Are the eminent scholars prepared
to say that the person of ordinary
intelligence cannot understand
words with a little touch of quaint
ness in them, or that it is better they
should never be nsed than that any
one should have the trouble of find
ing out what they mean f On this
principle the Bible might be printed
in words of one syllable. It is quite
possible, indeed, that even unin
structed people have quicker appre
hensions than they are sometimes
credited with having. Must every
thing be reduced to the sharpness
of a diagram before an appeal to
mind and heart is possible ? Many
a school boy has spent hours absorb
ed in Shakespeare, although he could
not possibly grasp the full meaning
of language remote from common
usage. Many a simple woman has
been permeated with the spirit of
the Bible who could not analyze and
explain the magnificent prose style,
though she could feel its uplifting
force. "There is a general demand,"
says the Churchman, "for a new
translation of the Bible." This is
nonsense ; the great bulk of English
readers are perfectly satisfied with
the Bible as it is.
This, of course, is the theological
as well as the literary point of view.
If scholars desire a translation stri3t
ly in accord with modern knowledge
of the ancient tex s, let them have it
by all means. But "the multitude"
do not care a rap about small points
of accuracy, though the Churchman
fancies that tbe demand comes from
them. This is the more obvions since
mere bibliolatry has declined and
both Old Testament and New are
read intelligently, like other books.
Nor is tbe need for "proof texts
now regarded as a very pressing one.
Men of all schools of thongbt are
coming to see that the Bible is not
the only witness to the truth of the
Christian religion. Tbe testimony of
history is potent. The Church as a
living organism is more potent still.
The impatience of a paper like the
Churchman with the King James
version is tbe more singular in that
language nsed there is half a centu
rv later in date than the language of
the Prayer Book, and no one pro
poses to modernize that. r rom the

Wbat Might Have Been Expected.
A recent number of The Balti
more Sun has a timely oditorUl has
ed upon the attempt of sotno parti
san newspapers to show that the as
sault upon the President was the
outgrowth of party politics and that
even legitimate criticism of the pub
lic officials Is an inspiration to assas
sination. The Sun declares that
this is tho sheerest absurdity and
argtiee forcnfuHy In support of its
position. The Sun says, in part ;
"Such arguments find a convinc
ing refutation in the statement ot
Io n Czolgosz, tho man who shot
Mr. McKinley, that he was led to
do the deed which has shocked the
world sfter hearing a lecture by an
anarchist whoos doctrine is that all
rulers should be exterminated. It
was tho inceudiary utterances of this
person, according to Czolgos z, which
'started in him tho crazo to kill.'
Tho leading political parties in the
United States believe in established
and orderly government, and are
odious to anarchists. It is immate
rial to tho latter whether the Gov
ernment be controlled by one party
or tho other. The fact that there
is a government which exercises au
thority arouses their opposition and
impels such men as Czolgos. to at
tack the State through its otlicial
head. The attempt to trace a con
nection between party politics and
the methods of anarchists Indicates
a strange confusion of ideas and ex
traordinary ignorance of American
institutions and the American spirit.
"As long as government by party
ex'sts men will differ as to princi
ples, methods and candidates, buch
differences are inevitable and nn
avoidable under a system of popu
lar government, where the authority
is created by the people aud exists
solely by their consent. As long as
the right of untrammoled discussion
is recognized, as long as the citizen
is free to speak and vote as he pleases,
party differences in the United
States will be settled, as they have
been settled for more than a century,
by appeals to reason. Our revolu
tions will be fought wsth ballots and
tho results will be accepted prompt
ly and cheerfully. That is the
American wsy. It is the system
which commends itself to men of
all parties. It means peace, the en
forcement of law and order and the
protection of the citizen in all his
rights and privileges. It means a
government held to the proper dis
charge of its duties by enlightened
f nbhc opinion. It means absolute
reedoni of opinion, of criticism and
of action within the limitations im
posed by tho laws which tho people
have created. There is no place for
anarchists in such a system."
Don't Change tbe Spelling.
Girls, if you ever go away from
home to attend college be careful
about changing the good old wayof
spelling your name. Some of our
i,(norant fathers might cause you
to feel humiliated like unto this girl
of whom an exchange relates ;
A Lewiston girl named Jessie was
sent to a famous eastern (chool and
after a year's time wrote to her dad
signing "Jessica." In reply the old
man wrote: Dear Jeesica lour
welcome letter received. Mammica
and pa pica are well. Aunt Maryica
and Georgieca started for Calitorni

horseica. It is a beauties. Its name

Architectural Oddities.
At Frankfort on the-Main there
is one street in which two houses on
opposite sides of the street lean over
so far that their roofs meet over the
street. In one of these houses Lord
Rothschild was born. In Paris, on
the other hand, it is noticeable that
the buildi rs intentionally cons'rnct
the houses so that they lean back
ward slightly to add to their stabili

I aris there is one bii stone building
which leans out fully 3i feet over
the sidewalk. So solid, however,
are the Paris buildings that this one

Brother and Sister Meet.
Mr. Henry Iyne, win came horn
a week sgn from Lunenburg county
and secured a position at tho loco
motive works, had an i xperieneo
yesterday that rea ls like a pretty
little romance.
Mi. Luytie went down t Seven
I'ines yesterday afterno-in for an
outing. While there ho saw a
young lady whoso face struck him V
very forcibly. At first he thought s
nothing of tho incident, but several t
times during tho evening bo saw J
the pretty face from a distance and
could not keep his thoughts from it.
There was something strango about
the face that almost haunted him.
Finally he asked the stranger
who tbe young lady was. s
"Her name is Miss Layni," was
the reply.
"Layne Layne "said the young
man, in puzzled tones. "What
Layne ? Do you kno'V her llrt
name ? '
"Yes," said tho stranger ; "Mies
Iiena L iyno."
Mr. Layno was greatly astonish
ed, and exclaimed ; "Why, she is
my sister, whom I have not seen for
eighteen years," and with that, tho
approached the yomg Uly; ex
plained to her th a i boy weie broth
er and sis'tr, and kis-scd her. Tho
mcc'imrwits iti'eri'sting ami afTec
tioP' te, ai d now they are both very
lnppy at having met each other
again.
It was learned that when Miss
Lsyne's mother died the little girl
was taken to tho home of one of her
tiuchs, in Charlotte county, where
she was reared, and Henry Ityne
was carried to Lunenburg, with his
father. That was in 1SS3, and

other since. Richmond leader.
