Dual Pers
Gases of dual personality are not to .
rare as might be sunopsed. Many such
are related in Dr. Sidis' book. The most
remarkable is that of the Rev. Thomas
Orson Iianna, a young clergyman of
I'Iantsville, Oonn,
One day when stepping from this ear,
rine his foot slipped, and he fell for-
ward, striking on lits head. He 'was
picked up unconscious. When be re-
gained his senses his former personality ,
had disappeared. He was practically a '
newly born babe. He remembered noth-
ing of a previotis life, He could not
talk or understand anything that was
said to him, In former times it av'otuhl
have been thought that he had become
idiotic, and be doubtless would have
been sent to a home for imbeciles, there
to spend the rest of his life.
Dr. Sidis, then in New York, heard of -
this peculiar ease. Here was an oppor-
tunity, he thought, to test his theory of
disassociation of ideas, He believed that
Mr. Hanna's brain cells had merely been
dislocated, and that if they were
brought back into proper position. and
working order the lost personality aright
be restored.
Under Dr. Sidis' direction, the young
minister was educated, from his A 13
O's upavard, Itis faculties were as keen
as ever;; even keener, it seemed, than
before the accident. In a week Ire learn-
ed how to read as well as a child roads
at the enol of its first year in school. In
three hours Mr. HUMUS learned how to
play the banjo. In a few weeks be bad
been taught the meaning of words and
language so that he could carry on in-
telligent conversation.
The first assurance that some traces
at least of his former personality re-
mained was in the dreams which he re.•
!,ted. He told of incidents and places
seen in dreams, avdnieli were' really ex-
periences of his past life. He spoke of
seeing a square house with the sign
upon it, "New Boston Junction." This
was a place in Pennsylvania where he
had once been. Yet in his new personal-
dty he could not recognize the church of
which ,he.was pastor; nor diol he rememn-
ber the young woman to whom he was
engaged. It looked as if the would never
again be able to take his former place
ttn society, An entirely different man
Ives growing up from the -former Rev.
Mt. Hanna.
But still he could not remember his
past life. He did not even imagine abet
it :meant. When asked if he could: riot
guess what Boston meant, he replied:
"It might be the name of the building."
Resurrection of the Mr. Hanna.
Dr. Sidis, not at all discouraged, be-
gan a most unusual course of treatment.
When Mr. Hanna avae asleep he passed
naturally into a hypnoidie state, which
was not a hypnotic condition, but was a
resurrected dead personality of his own
life experiences. Then something hap-
pened that in other ages would be
thought miraculous. The patient began
to tank of one of his old friends, Mr.
Buster, and told incidents about him
just as he would have done before the
accident.
The Rev. Mr. Hanna had returned;
ho was himself again! This was the
joyous thought that first flashed into
the minds of his father and attendants.
But they were mistaken,
As the hypnoidie state passed away
the young minister relapsed into the
secondary state, as Dr. Sidis called it.
Again and again thgpatient was brought
beck to glimpses of ]lis first life. Fin-
ally Dr. Sidis tried a medicinal stimu-
lus, in the hope of bringing back the lost
personality in more stable form. Fin-
ally, ono morning, the patient woke up, .
and, turning to his brother, asked:
"'Who has been preaching at the
ehnreh?"
Here at last was the resurrection of -
the real Mr. Ilanna in perfectly natural
and rational mind.
The brother then related how his fa-
ther was occupying the pulpit and the
fam=ily had moved to Plantwville, to
which the young•minister exclaimed, in
great surprise:
"Why, you don't say so! When was
this?"
.A number of events ocourred during
the previous ,six months since the acci-
dent were related, but his mind was an
a=bsolute blank about them. When asked ,
how he felt, lie said:
"I feel just like Rip Van Winkle. I
feed hazy." In this astonishing way was
the lost personality regained. Incident-
nliy, Mr. Hanna afforded an example in
real life of how a man may actually
fall into a Rip Van Winkle sleep, and
be utterly unconscious of the progress
of events, for a long .period, of time.
Mr, Hanna's case was even stranger
than that of Washington Irving's sleep-
ing hero. for in this instance the reran
was living an entirely different life
while the former personality was asleep.
Mr. Hanna is now entirely restored to
his normal condition. After recovering
he married the .girl to whom he was
first engaged, wh-o nursed him through
his pitiable state of lost personality,
when he looked upon her as a stranger.
So an element of romance is lent to this
very strange ease.
Strange Case of a Russian Woman,
Similar instances of forgetfulness or
lost personality, though usually in mild-
er form, are chronicled in the daily
press every little while. Amnesia is the
term Dr. Sidis applies to this form of
aberration.
Another kind of case which Dr. Sidis
relates is that of a ;pretty yoiuig Rus-
sian woman of 22. She suffered from
violent headaches, which seeemd to be
located in a spot about as large as a
half dollar just back of the left temple.
Upon questioning her, Dr. Sidis learn-
ed that when she was a child an insane
woman living aeross the street rushed
into the house one day when her par-
ents were away, caught up the child and
kissed her on the left side of the head.
It gave the little girl a violent •fright,
and ever after that she had headaches

THE DISCOVERER OF VACCINATION.
Edward Jenner, immortalized as the
one who introduced vaccination as a
preventive of smallpox, was horn in
Berkeley, Gloucestershire, England, in the
year 1749.
• After studying in London under the
famous John Hunter, Jenner settled
quietly down in Gloucestershire as a
medical parctitioner, Iittlo dreaming of
the everlasting fame that he was destined
to inherit. l
In establishing the discovery upon
which his honors were to rest, Jenner'
encountered tremenefbus difficulties.
• The reports flying about the neigh-
borhood to the effect teat the Gloucester-
shire milkmaids that had had cowpox
were immune to smallpox were looked
upon as being little more than idle
rumors, and when Jenner expressed him-
self as having some confidence in them
the gentry and small folks laughed at
him.
But the young physician was not to be
laughed down. To the girl who said to
him in an offhand wig one day when
smallpox was mentioned: "I can't take
that disease, for I have had cowpox,"
Jenner replied: "I will investigate."
For twenty odd years he kept up ;his
observations and experiments, working
hard and talking but little, until finally,
he became satisfied that his labors were
not to be in vain.
Jenner's faith in his discovery was 1
perfect—so perfect, in fact, that he
vaccinated his own son upon three dif-
ferent occasions.
I In the meantime he published the
results of his investigations, giving the I
details of 23 cases of successful vaccina-
tion.
Going down to London, Jenner at-
tempted to acquaint the profession with I
the facts in his possession, but not a
single medical man wanted anything to ,
do with this new-fangled discovery!
For three months the humble country
doctor remained in the great metropolis, '
biting his lips as the renowned city i
physicians in turn Iaughed at and'
cursed him=
They swore that he was trying to
"bestialize" his species by the introduc-
tion into their system of diseased matter
from the cow's udder. The pulpit thun-
dered against the "Vaccination Man." i
Some went so far as to say that vac-
citrated children would become "ox -faced,"
that they would have "horns," and that
the voice would be like the "bellowing
of bulls!"
Jenner went back to his quiet village!
home nothing discouraged, feeling that ;
vaccination was a truth, and that in
spite of the ridicule and aspersion that
were being heaped' upon it it would
sooner or later win out and receive the
confidence of whieli it was so worthy.
Slowly but steadily the medical men
began falling into line with the coon•

THE POWER OF ATTENTION.
When Exceptional It Results in Genius
or in Great Accomplishments.
The fact that the mind. of man is eas-
ily distracted from any subject in con-
templation accounts for the slowness of
the development of most minds, and for
the extreme slowness of the devultn,r•it
of the human mind collectively. 'There
are historical periods when general en-
lightenment seems to have Advanced uy
leaps and bounds; but when one takes
cognizance of the tens of thousands of
years that man has been at play in the
Kindergarten of Creation, one is aware
of the very gradual and deliberate char-
acter of human progress as a whole; and
this deliberateness of growth, and the
remains of ignorance and superstition
even in minds regarded as educated, come
largely from the inability of Wien to keep
their thoughts employed steadfastly on
the various objects and problems of mat-
ter, mind and life. The faculty of at-
tention is strikingly lacking in the sav-
age man; it increases as civilization in-
creases, and is a large factor in tee
advance of civilization and of culture.
When the power of attention is excep-
tional in the individual, he is set apart
from his fellows; he is a genius in the
business world, or perhaps a poet, artist,
inventor, discoverer, philosopher, reform-
er, statesman or conqueror. When the
power of attention in a community has
been stimulated by one attentive mind,
or by a group of attentive minds, the
world' passes through periods of great
mental activity: great reforms take
place; there is great material or intel-
lectual advance; or there are revivals
in letters and in the plastic arts.
The supreme object of the teacher is
to cultivate attention in his or her
charges. When a child has learned how
to pay attention, he has learned how
to study and to learn. "Object lessons"
are favorite devices for fixing attention.
According to the orthodox theologies, re-
ligion has been taught to mankind large-
ly through object lessons, in the form
sometimes of "progressive revelations";
and the systems of symbols in all reli-
gions may be called simply devices for
fixing the wandering attention of souls,
for their sustenance and lasting bene-
fit.
We see, year in and year out, the
coming and going of beliefs, customs;
popular heroes or mere popular pets;
best sellers among books; sports„ move-
ments and fads of all kinds, which fig-
ure prominently only as long as they are
able to claim the attention of large
groups or of the entire community. The
whole system of business advertising, and
the infinite number of publicity depart-
ments—publicity as to all sorts of wares
and all manner of causes—are nothing
but means of securing attention; of
spreading information and inducing ac-
tion through suggestion. -- From an edi-
torial in the April Century.
were even mean enough to try to rob
the doctor of the honor of his immortal
discovery.

tised throughout the world; and at his
funeral it was declared that he had

Strange Stories
of Dreams
Some of the strangest stories in the
annals of crime are those which te11 of
the part dreams bave played in the dis-
covery of criminals. One spring day in
1830 a far=e laborer, when passing a
lonely mountain lake in i,ntherlandshrre,
saw in the waters a dead body, which
when rescued proved to be that of a
well known peddler who bad myster-
iously vanished about a month earlier.
The body bore marks of violence, the
pockets were empty, and it was clear
that the por fellow had been brutally
murdered and robbed —but by whole?
That was it mystery which for many a
week completely defied elucidation.
One night, however, Kenneth Fraser,
a tailor's assistant, saw in a dream the
cottage of a man named ifugh Macleod,
and heard a voice say in Gaelic. 'The
peddler's pack is lying in a cairn of
stones in a hole near this house: Ile
told the story of his peculiar dream to
the authorities, who accompanied him
to Macleod's house; and there, sure
enough, beneath a heap d'f stormier the
murdered man's property was found.
Macleod was arrested, confessed, and
was executed.
.Another very remarkable story is told
of a tragedy in Ireland, One evening
two strangers presented themselves at a
wayside inn near Portland, and after tak-
ing refreshment continued their tramp
in the direction of Carrick-on•Suir. The
incident was common place enough; but
it led to startling developments, for in
the wayfarers the landlady of the inn
recognized two men of whom she had
dreamed a very strange dream the night
before. In cher dream she had seen one
of them kill the other with a coward's
blow from behind, rifle the pockets of
the dead man, and stealthily bury him
beneath a hedge. So impressed was her
husband when this dream was told that
he made his way to the spot indicated
and there discovered the body of the
buried elan., The assassin was pursued
and arrested, and at the ensuing assizes
was sentenced to death.
There has seldom been a more myster-
ious crime than the murder of Mr. Stock -
dem, a London victualler, a great many
yearstago; and the mystery would have
remained unsolved to this day had it
not been for the intervention of Mrs.
Greenwood, who came forward with the
statement that the murdered man had
appeared to her in a dream and conduct-
ed her to a house' in Thames street,
where one of his ,assassins was to be
found; while in another dream Stock -
den appeared and showed her the like-
ness of the man. On the strength of>this
dream clue the man indicated was ar-
rested, and not only confessed his guilt,
but betrayed his accomplices—three cri-
minals being brought to the scaffold as
the result of these visions of the night.
Some years ago .a. Mrs. Rutherford
dreamed that her aged relative, Lady
Leslie, was about to be murdered by a
man whom she clearly saw. She imme-
diately set.out on a visit to Lady Les-
lie and asked permission to sleep in the
lady's room. In the middle of the night
Mrs. Rutherford heard some one trying
to open .tbe bedroom door. She raised
an alarm and flung open the door, when
Lady Leslie's two sons rushed out and
in a moment had seized the man of
the,dream.
The following story Is ,perhaps, the
strangest of all. One night tbo Roy.
Herbert Powys, a Church of England
clergyman, dreamed that the daughter of
one ,of his pnrishoners had gone out
into the darkness to meet her lover,
who, at the time was waiting for her
in a secluded spot and spending the
time in digging,, grave for her. Jumping
out of bed Mr. Powys rushed to the
place indicated in his dream and arrived
there just as the man had hurled ,;.rho
Igirl to the ground by the side of the
open grave and was about to kill ,ler
with his spade. —Froin Tit -Bits.

About seventeen years ago Alonzo R.
Gilman of South Berkwick, Me., while
driving in New York with his wifo was
passing a atone wall. Ile stopped, got
out and tested the tones of several rocks
by tapping thein with his penknife. He
later confided to bis wife an idea that
had been suggesting itself to him for a
long time. He wished to collect thirteen
rocks of the right tones to make a scale
of one octave, semitones included. He
could play upon then with mallets, he
thought, like a xylophone,
. Since then his spare time has been
spent in 'searching stone walls and heaps,
i•Ie has carried stones miles which out-
doors gave as sweet and correct tones
as could be amagined, but which were
uesless when placed beside the others
of the instrument, the difference in tone
being caused by the confining walls or
the aid of a wind or clear atmosphere
outdoors.
The result of days of searching, test-
ing, carting and clipping now lies in the
"rockophone room" of Mr. Gilman's home
on Youngs street, the only rockophone in
this country and probably in the world.
Fifty-two rocks or four octaves, aro

vary in size from six Welles to three

Mr. Gilman and his sons, aged 10 and
11 respectively, stand at the instrument
and play upon it with mallets. The heads
of these are Iignum vitae or boxwood,

' issimo effects. The tone of the rocko-
phone is unlike that of any other in -

!of
the metalophone nor the hollow sound
iof the•woodon xylophone. There is a rip-
pling natural tone quality that first as-

ish dependency, in another, Canada, a
city of Ontario is wildly excited at the
prospect of securing a certain chair in
which King Edward sat during his Aire
erioan tour a generation or more ago.
Nowhere has the King been received
with more enthusiastic loyalty than in
Canada, and that this loyalty is as last-
ing as intense is proved by the fact
that enormous sums have been offered
for this old-time memento.
It is interesting to compare the £1,-
000 which is said to have been offered
for this chair, intrinsically worth a few
shillings, with the prices realized by
other chairs which halve had Royal or
distinguished occupants. It is not long
sinee two £5 notes purchased a chair
in which the "Merry Monarch" used to
sit; while another which once held a
Pope went for £5 10s. Even a chair
in which the great Shakespeare himself
took his ease could command no higher
bid than £126; Lord Byron's chair
' changed hands for 50s.; and £2 was the
; price paid for one of Sir Walter nal -
,
sigh's,
A chair which a1 one time was used
by the beautiful and ill-fated Anne Bo-
Ile3 brought ten guineas, which was
50s. less than was paid for one of Bul-
w•er-Lytton's; Gay's favorite chair was
i knocked down for £30, Theodore Hook's
for £19, Mrs. Siddons' for £7, and Mre.
Browning's for a £5 note; while £3
10s. purchased a. chair of Thackeray's
and the same pride was realized for ono
of Walter Savage Lan•der's.
ISuch prices are trivial indeed com-
pared with the £40,000 paid ,far a won-
derful chair presented more than three
centuries ago to the Emperor Rudolph
II, of Germany. The material of which
it is Wade is steel, and it is covered
with Biblical scenes .executed with the
most wonderful delicacy and akill. On
its back is a representation of Nebu-
chadnezzar's dream; while on another
compartment is an exquisite engraving
of Daniel explaining his dream to the
King. For thirty long years one of the
greatest of sixteenth-eentu"ry artists
labored on :this chair --a fact which goes
far to explain the •enormous sum paid
for it, In later years it was sold to
Gustavus Brander for 1,800 guineas,
and for a third of this sum it came into
the hands of the Earl of Radnor.
Enormous prices have been paid for
chairs in recent years, notably £20,000
for set of half -a -dozen Louis XIV.
chairs, upholstered in Gebelin tapestry,
which were originally made for Marie
Antoinette. Even this price, by the
way, was exceeded by the sum paid for
three of the Hamilton Palace tables,
one of which. fetched £6,000; another, a
Louis Quinze, £5,500; and a third, of
ebony with wreaths of ormolu, £3,200.
One secretaire went for 9.000 guin=eas,
and another was knocked down for £4,-
620. Front sucit prices as these there is
a great drop to the £320 paid to a
ibirmingbam firm by an Indian rajah
for a gorgeous chair of out crystal with
it crystal dome fitted with electric
lighAts.
most valuable end historically in-
teresting suite of furniture is that
which, more than a century ago, was
presented by Warren Hastings to Tip -

vitality for the summer, in the
spring the bad blood shows itself it
many ways. In some it breeds pins
pies and eruptions. In other° it ma;
be through occasional headaches, r
variable appetite, perhaps twinges of
neuralgia, or rheumatism, or a 1553
feeling in the morning and a desire
to avoid exertion, For these spris
ailments it is a tonic you need, an

giving toric in ail the world is Dr

Blackburn, Aylesford Station, N. S.
says: "i"or the past ten years Dr
