Makes Red Blood (To he Continued ) A PERSON OBSESSED. . Tho Victim of an Insistent and Com- pulsive Habit of Action. The word "obsession" may be defined as an insistent and compulsive thought, habit of mind or tendency to action. The person so burdened is said to be obsessed. Few children are quite free from ob- session. Some must step on stones; others luust walls or avoid cracks; some must ascend the stairs with the right foot first; mauy must kick posts or touch objects a certain number of tittles. Some must count the windows, pictures and figures on the wall paper; some must bite the nails or pull the eye wiukers. Consider the nail biter. It cannot be said that he toils not, but to what end?

Ae interesting instance was that of the boy who had to touch every one t. caring anything refl. On one occa- sion his whole family lost their train because of the prevalence of his color among those waiting in the station. The longer these tendencies are re- tained in adult life the greater the clan- gor of their bccomiug coercive. And so far as the well established case is concerned, the obsessive act must be the meaty, essential facts.
