WfcD fcSDAY, MAY 5, 1897. HALLUCINATIONS. SOME OF THE CURIOUS EXAMPLES RECORDED IN HISTORY. ? The lives of Macy Great Men Have Been Infineneed bj Tlslons-Frequently They Have Been Prophetic; at Other Times They Have Caused Tragedies. The importance of the part played br s%:flominant hallucinations in the history cf the world can scarcely be overrated. I' Julius Csssar, Napoleon Bonaparte, Soc rates, Luther, Ignatius Loyola, are but a few of the great men whose lives were intimately entwined with ruling delu sions. In these cases the illusions seem to have been persistent and not to have % been produced by any voluntary effort ; on tie part of the seer. On the other hand, Talma could walk on to the stage ' and after staring at the brilliant and applauding audience for a few. seconds wotdd see nothing: but rows of grinning skeletons In this he seems to have fore v stalled Herr Roentgen, for the skeletons wei e in the exact positions of the mem ber}} of the audience and changed their postures with every variation of their -posi tions. It was to this grisly "house" that the great actor., delivered some of -: - his grandest histrionic efforts. Goethe, as^might be expected, called np pleasanter and more peaceful visions. : At will he could see a flower in the cen : ter cf his visual field. He thus described , it: *'This flower does not for a moment < preserve its form; it is generally d com pos e!, and from its interior are born -. ether flowers with colored, OT sometimes tygrean, petals. These are not natural flowers, but fantastic, nevertheless regu lar, figures, such as the roses of sculp tors." The capacity for thus producing at will a lovely object had, however, the disadvantage described by Abercrombie in his famous "Inquiry Concerning the * Intellectual Powers, ' ' that they were not as a rule dismissible at pleasure. '? Blake, after storying a model seated in I a e&air,. could continue seeing her clearly . when tire chair was empty. This must . haye been an economical way of hiring a subject by the hour and would be an acceptable talent in these days of highly feed models. The ghastly case described I by Sir Walter Scott of the man who . torew that he was dying, and knew equally well that there was nothing whatever the matter with him, nsper ; tfaaps too familiar to need more than gassing mention. The black cat that -* this luckless man saw was, to use his own words, "no household cat, but a bubble cf the elements which has no f^steneeV" This animal was as com plex in form as the seer's metaphor, for it would tum suddenly into a court usher, and the usher in his turn would become a skeleton. This man showed no symptoms of insanity and was fully aware cf the unreality of what he saw, which must greatly have added to the { persistent misery of his condition. .AJ OML gentleman described by the late Dr. Slam had a power of conjuring up, often without voluntary effort, two or more charming dancing girls, and the antics of these nymphs continued until sleep came to the rescue. The old fellow was of a particularly pious and proper tnw of mind, so that their gratuitous ballet was presumably wasted on him. Nicolai cf Berlin, a very level headed savant, was troubled fer two months with the vision cf a corpse. The hallu miaticn lasted as a rule exactly eight inmutes, and the body was apparently always steady at a uniform distance of about ten feet from the observer. This trouble supervened suddenly after a violent quarrel in which Nkolai had been engaged. Ultimateiy\the corpse and all the poor man's other de lusions were driven back to their own sphere by the prosaic attacks of leeches cn tho temples. This treatment was also most effective in dispelling the vi sions cf a certain clergyman in Hamp shire late in the last century. He habit ually engaged in personal encounters with the devil, until the leeches drove tire foul fiend out of\ his visual field. Dr. Bostock, thc psychologist, saw the heads of his friends "in relief, like nredallions.'' Curiously enough, he could never conjure up their bodies. The great Napoleon was, as is gen erally known, invariably attended by a star. This story was implicitly believed at the time, and it is said to have been first related by General Rappp who, on visiting the monarch's tent at night, found Bonaparte excitedly pointing to a corner cf the tent, crying: "Do you see that-my star? it is shining there before you!" At the period of the ref ormation wrestling with the evil one in propria persona was by no means an uncommon exercise. Luther several times indulged in these combats. Mr. Lecky tells us cf the young monk who rushed up to Sts. Pachonius and Palaemon in the desert and told them excitedly of the beautiful woman who had tempted him in his cell and, "hav ing worked her purpose," had vanished miraculously in the air, leaving him half dead upon the ground. The story goes on to say that the young monk, "with a wild shriek, broke away from his saintly listeners * * * and rushed across the desert till he arrived at the next village and there leaped into the open furnace cf the public baths and perished in the flames. " Cazotte was reported to have habit ually dreamed with his eyes open, so that at the dinner party when he md denly said that he saw Condorcet, who was one of the guests, in prison and taking poison to avoid the headsman's ax nobody paid much attention. The event, however, happened within two years under the precise circumstances described.-Lc nden Standard. The Mew Yorker of the present day is inclined to smile when he reads that on the Fourth of July, 1795, the parad . of soldiers in that city numbered i'00 men. Their rotite was from the Battery up Broadway to the new Presbyterian church, where the Declaration of Inde pendence was read by Edward Living ston. c orn is a vigorous feeder and re sponds well to liberal fertiliza tion. On corn lands the yield increases and the soil improves if properly treated with fer tilizers containing not undei 7% actual A trial of this plan costs but little and is sure to lead tc profitable culture. Ali about Potash-the results of its use by actual ex periment on tbe best farms in the United States-fi told in a little boole which we publish and will gladly mail free to any farmer in America who will write for it GERMAN KALI WORKS, 93 Kassau St., New York. DISEASES OF THE SKIN. The intense itching and smarting ind dent to eczema, tetter, salt-rheum, and other diseases of the skin is instantly alla ved by applying Chamberlain's Eve and Skin Ointment. Many very bad easel have been permanently cured by it. lt is equally efficient for itching piles and a favorite rem edy for sore nipples; chapped hands chil blains, frost bites, nd chronic sore eyes.
