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

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.
