    SIMULATING DISEASE.
STRANGE CASES MET WITH BY PHY

ered.
A man. apparently in great bodily pain,
was found lying upon the sidewalk at
Front and Chestnut streets, by a police
man. The man had fallen "all in a heap,"
and his story was that he had been way
laid and beaten. A patrol wagon was
summoned, but when an attempt was
made to place him in the vehicle he com
plained of such exquisite pain it was
found necessary to discard the patrol
wagon and to carry the man on a stretch
er to a hospital. On arriving at the lat
ter institution he was carefully removed
from the stretcher to a cot in the receiv
ing ward, and, although bundled very
tenderly, tlie change of position seemed
to aggravate his suffering Singularly
enough, when the surgeons made an ex
amination, it was found that when a pin
was stuck in any portion of the man's
body below the neck he apparently failed
to feel it. and the natural conclusion un
der the circumstances was that he had
suffered a spinal injury. It was then
proposed to place the patient under an
anaesthetic, with the view of performing
an operation, but when the man heard
this he jumped off the cot and darted
quickly out of the hospital gate and was
soon lost to view He had been "playing
possum," but for what reason will, per
haps, never be known
TO AVOID THE DRAFT.
Such cases are not infrequently met
with by their regular prac
tice and at hospitals and other charitable
institutions. Either to excite sympathy,
or from other motives, people sometimes
cultivate the power of simulating dis
eases. These individuals are known to
the medical profession as "malingerers,"
and they become particularly numerous
on certain occasions. During the civil
war, at the time conscriptions were made,
it was surprising to see the number of
able bodied men limping along with canes
and apparently suffering with rheuma
tism or other crippling ailments While
it is not always easy, even for an expert
doctor, to detect between real and sim
ulated disease, yet he can generally dis
tinguish between the genuineand feigned
rheumatism by the manner in which a
man plants his cane on the pavement
To understand the difference it is only
necessary to watch a man who carries a
cane to assist him in walking and one
who flourishes a cane for pleasure.
Among the disorders generally simu
lated are fainting and epilepsy. Both
have been so well counterfeited as to have
been mistaken for genuine cases it is
only when heroic measures are proposed
that thefiin position is disclosed. Not long
since an up town physician, while pass
ing an open air religious meeting on
Broad street, had his attention attracted
to a middle aged woman, apparently suf
fering with an epileptic attack She was
surrounded by a group of sympathetic
men and women, and one of the lattei
had procured from a neighboring resi
dence a pinch of salt. The woman re
covered consciousness, however, without
the use of the latter remedy.
On the following Sunday the physician
noticed the same woman in church, and,
thinking she might be seized with another
spell, took a seat several pews front her.
Sure enough, an attack came on, to the
discomfiture of a number Qf nervous peo
ple. The poor woman was carried out
to the vestibule of the church, and the
physician followed. The seeming epilep
tic seizure passed off in about five min
utes.
FEIGNING DEAFNESS.
The next Sunday there was a repeti
tion of the attack. The woman, who
was a stranger to the congregation, was
again taken to the vestibule, and the
physician who had previously attended
her was again called upon. Thinking
that tiro attack was simulated, he pro
posed that a settee should be procured
and the woman carried through the
street to a police station. In a twink
ling the woman sprang from the chair!
in which she had been placed, hurried I
from the building and has not since ap- '
peared at the church.
One of the methods adopted to mis- !
lead is to feign deafness. This is one of
the tricks resorted to by men who desire
to avoid being placed upon juries. Gen- j
erally, however, the judges are able to
fathom the deception, and, by tho use of
a little stratagem, it is easily exposed. J
Men who simulate deafness will clasp an |
ear in the palm of the hand and lean
forward as though the auditory nerves
were strained to catch what was said.
In an unguarded moment the supposed
deaf man is asked a question in an ordi
nary tone, to which he generally replies
and his deception is unmasked.
As a rule, however, illness and other
physical disabilities are simulated by
people who wish to avoid work or who
desire to obtain admission to some in
stitution where they may live without
cost to themselves, and sometimes by
convicts with the hope of bettering their
condition. In fact very many diseases
are feigned, but in tho hands of a skill
ful physician they are soon exposed. A
common method of simulating apoplexy
is by falling down as if deprived of sen
sation and consciousness. Powerful
stimulants an electric shock, the appli
cation of i: it water or an n. iv.-.tion of 1
the nostrils, quickly detect the impost- 1

A BULGARIAN WEDDING.
A ST. LOUIS LADY DESCRIBES ONE
WHICH SHE ATTENDED.
How Party of Touriftta Attended the Cer
emony—Jotting* of Travel in the Region
of the Balkan* —Guide* Who Frightened
and Intimidated the Traveler*.
We were feeling pretty blue when we
arrivod here at 10:30 o'clock last niglM
in a most furious storm of thunder and
lightning and the rain pouring in tor
rents, sky black as Egypt's night.
The crowd of ruffians at the depot add
ed anything but a secure feeling, and
! they took us in as if we were so many
savages taken around for exhibition,
Our trunks had to lie gone through, like
wise our hand baggage, and they actual
ly insisted upon opening every small lx>x
and package inside our trunks. They
held a long discussion over a shawl in
one of our trunks, but finally decided to
stamp our trunks through. While our
I courier wus attending to this the natives
were taking us in, and I never saw such
awful looking men. They hxiked as if
I they wanted to kill us.
A ROMAN WELL.
We spent the day very agreeably, first
driving up to the barracks, where we
had a good view of the surroundings
and saw quantities of solriiers, two of
which lovely specimen.* of men insisted
upon our visiting an old well built by the
Romans, and we started down the steps
by the light of u candle, the Servian
leading the way ami Cousin and I
I following, but keeping very close to our
' courier. We persuade* -he other mem
ber of our party not to attempt to come
down, as it was so very damp and dark
and so many steps, so left her up top
with another individual, who kept talk-
I ing to her in his own language all the
time and pointing to the steps, and final
ly assisting her down. So, to our sur
prise, when half way down the winding
stairs we heard her calling to us. and as
; she was very much frightened and ex
cited we turned back without reaching
1 the bottom of the 450 steps. Those poor
■ people are so wild to make a penny that
they insist upon making you do tilings
in order to reward them for their serv
ices. From the barracks we drove to the
museum, and then visited the palace of
King Milan's son, then drove to the park.
We left Belgrade at 10:50 p. in., and
as there are no sleepers en route we
made ourselves as comfortable as possi
ble for the night, hut 1 cannot say I
rested much. The scenery along the
road was very pretty. The Balkan moun
tains looked quite bare after Switzerland
and the train seemed to crawl. When
we reached some little station a dozen
soldiers jumped in and entered the car,
and began talking among themselves and
to us, and as we could not understand
we took it for granted that we had
reached a new country, and opened our
satchels for them to inspect. They
opened every box, more from curiosity,
I suspect, than for any other reason, and
emptied our fruit basket of all the
grapes, which they divided among them
selves, and then stamped lis through.
THE BULGARIAN WEDDING
We are to-night in Bulgaria, in a com
fortable hotel and where we do not feel
as if our lives were in peril. When we
first landed our courier put us in a car
riage and started us off by ourselves
with a coachman dressed in a sheepskin
coat, white shirt and loose white trous
ers, with a broad belt. His costume
might have been pretty when new. but
was exceedingly soiled, and ho was very
dark, with small, jet black eyes. As it
was noon (Sunday), all the country peo
ple were in for the day, and I never saw
such a variety of costumes in my life.
Some very fancy, with iota of coins, etc.,
worked stockings, with skin sandals
laced up the legs. In fact, it reminded
me of pictures I have seen of the Holy
Land.
i He inquired if we could be permitted
to enter, and we soon found ourselves
escorted into the country villa of. the
governor of Sophia, where the house was
filled with guests, assembled at the mar
riage of his sister.
The bride came forward to meet us in
her wedding gown, veil and orange
blossoms. We also were presented to the
groom, the bridesmaids and their beaux,
the landlord and his wife and to the
mother of the bride, who spoke to us in
French. One of the relatives of the
bride spoko to Cousin in German.
They insisted upon our remaining to the
ceremony, and we were presented seats
of honor on beautiful blue satin furni
ture. The ceremony was not in Bulgar
ian, but Greek, with seven priests, can
dles, incense and high mass. We were
kept standing just one hour.
In the middle of the service their
photographs were taken. They were
crowned with orange blossoms and the
men nil embraced afterwards; also the
ladies. One of the bridesmaids was very
pretty and spoke English. She made
harself very pleasant and wanted to know
if I had over met a friend of hers, a Miss
8.,wh0 was attending school in America.
Now that I have described the wedding
party, let me give you an idea of our ap
pearance in such distinguished company.
After spending all night in thesmoky,
dirty train and with no accommodation
for toilet, we reached hero at 12 noon,,
hurried through some luncheon, brushed
oar head, find, fortunately, put on clean
gloves. 80 v.O appeared amidst silks
and satins, in traveling huts, dresses and
the largest ultOPs we posse**' d. and feel
ir,g like tramps —I thin!, we attracted as
much attention as five bride.
Afterwards "we drove through the nark
and then wi 'ted through the trading
part of the city.
Our courier iss a native of Constanti
nople, and says the Turks are a very
dirty people and never kill any living
tiling, it being part of their belief that
God created everything for a purpose,
except the Christians. He says fleas are
a natural production of the country and
that wo must not mind them.—Cor. St.

The Pampero,
A strange natural phenomenon Is the
pampero, a South American storm wind,
which is described by the author of
"Hearts of Oak, " who first made its ac
quaintance during a stay at Montevideo.
A light breeze had been blowing from
the nortiwast, but had steadily increased
in force, and brought with it the heated
air of the tropics, which, passing over a
treeless panipa couutry. exposed to the
burning sun rays of a clear sliy, so
warms up the atmosphere on the shores
of the Kio de la Plata tiiat its effect upon
human lienigs is exceedingly bad
This state of things generally lasts for
a week, or longer, until the stifling heat
becomes unbearable ami the inhabitants
are seen resting in grass hammocks or
lying on hare floors, incapable of exer
tion. However relief is olose at hand.
A little cloud "no bigger than a man's
hand" is first seen to rise above the
water, then the heavens grow black with
clouds, and the buttle of opposing winds
begins
The pampero advances with its artil
lery well in front; forked flashes of vivid
lightning, followed by peals of thunder,
bear down upon the foe, who, quite up
ta the moment of attack, is fiercely dis
charging its fiery breath on the surround
ing regions The inhabitants now climb
on theazoteas. or flat roofs, to watch the
struggle and to lie the first to participate
in the delicious relief brought by the
pampero to their fevered bodies.
Far out on the river a curious sight
may be Heen; the opposing waves, raised
by the rival winds, meet like a rush of
cavalry in wild career; their white horses
with foaming crests dash themselves
against each other and send clouds of
dazzling spray high in the air; this being
backed by an inky sky renders the 6cene
most imposing
Gradually the northeaster gives way,
followed closely by its enemy, the pam
pero, which throws out skirmishing cur
rents of icc < I wind in advance of its
final onslaught Then comes the roar of
the elements, and a deluge such as no
one would willingly encounter, and
cooler weather is established for the time
being.

A physician of my acquaintance was
called in recently to see an old lady who
resides in her own house in the Third
word. It was his first call, and he had
never seen the lady before. She lay on a
conch, neatly attired, with her gray hair
"in a cluster of small curls at each side of
her head.
"Doctor," she said, "1 liavesent tocon
sultyou on a very serious matter. I have
for a long time suffered from pains in the
head, and have consulted many physi
cians without receiving any benefit. Yes
terday 1 accidentally swallowed a fish
bone, and while coughing it up felt a
singular sensation in my left ear. I put
up my hand and drew this from my ear."
She extended toward the doctor a small
leaden statue of Napoleon, such as used
to lie sold on the streets years ago in a
little glass bottle.
"You drew this front your ear?" asked
the doctor.
"Yes, doctor, 1 did," was the reply,
"and 1 have been much easier ever since."
The doctor examined her ear and
found it perfectly natural lie didn't
know what to say, hut he thought a good
deal.
"I want you to do something for ine,"
she continued, "for I am satisfied there
is another heathen god like this in the
other ear: for it is a heathen god, I have
no doubt."
"How do you suppose it got there?" the
doctor asked.
"! think Ezekieior one of the rninoi
prophets tnust have put two of these
heathen gods in my ears when I was a
child. Now, doctor, I want you to pre
scribe something to brirTg out the heathen
god from the right ear."
"Swallow another fishbone," said the
doctor, as he left the room in high
dudgeon.—Brooklyn Citizen

It was in the year 1880, in a third rate
city called Neufchateau, in the depart
ment deg Vosges, France, about noon,
that we were passing, my father and
myself, in front of a store where in ad
dition to hardware a supply of ammuni
tion was kept for the use of a regiment
there. Suddenly we heard a terrible ex
plosion, and being either thrown or hav
ing unconsciously ran, 1 know not
which, we at any rate found ourselves
about twenty yards from where the ex
plosion occurred, and could see part of
the roof in the street.
We had hardly reached the building
when a man caine out of it covered with
powder, his hair and beard burning, and
large pieces of flesh hanging from his
face aud bare arms. Never will I forget
the horror of the sight; his flesh was
charred and his clothes partly burned.
As lie reached the sidewalk lie looked
around and called a name I did not
catch. Receiving no answer he went
right back into that burning furnace,
and in a few seconds catne out bearing
in Ilia arms his child, a girl of 6 or 7,
Those nearer to him heard him say:
"My darling, aro you hurt? Oh, you
are hurt!" While the poor little thing
kept saying: "No, papa, I am not hurt,
not at all; you are burning, think of
yourself," and yet the blood was trickling
from her forehead where the flying
debris made a deep gash. Both re
covered, though disfigured for life. At
the time 1 thought there was not only
one hero, hut two.—Cor. Philadelphia

phenomenon as indicating an increasing
business prosperity. When times arc dull

they take more kindly to it, as is now the

a rood name is more valuable than great
riches. " Riches profit not ill the day of
death." They profit in life if good use is
made of them. They profit not in death
because they cannot buy peace. A good
name lias a good character behind it.
Good character cannot be destroyed but

Saturday was an eventful day for New
Blonmtleld, it being the formal opening
of the Ferry County railroad, connecting
that town with the Pennsylvania railroad
at Duncannnn. The golden spike was
driven at 2.20 p. si. by MLs Ma-y Cront-
Ic.gh, and an appropriate speech was
made by ex-Judge Juiikin. Three round
trips were made between the two towns,
bringing a large number of excursionists.
ThejSj train was in charge of Conductor
Elliott and Engineer Charles 11. Woods
and Fireman Elmer Bigl ;r. Large dele
gatinns were present from all parts of the
county. To-day tlie traius will begin to
run on;riular schedule.
An old, old mail, with hair white as
snow, his attenuated form bowed with the
weight of his over eighty summers, sat in
the Superior Court room at Red Wood
City, Cnl., on Saturday afternoon. Few
would have recognized the once dashing
tuifman. Richard Ten Broeck, perhaps
the nerviest man that ever ran a horse in
America and England. He was being
examined by a Commission of Lunacy
Ten Broeck resides at San Mateo with lit*
family. He married his present wife, a
handsome middle-aged lady, in Ken
tucky twelve years ago. For some
months he has shown indications of a de
ranged mind and has labored under the
Impression that his wife is trying to
poison him, and that she has employed
agents to kidnnp him in order that
sho may secure his property. To
secure himself against these imaginary
attacks he keeps a small arsenal of
knives and pistols in his room. His
wife testified that he has threatened to
kill her. Ten Broeck testified in his own
behalf, and his actions were far from re
sembling those of one who was insane,
although old age had undoubtedly ren
dered him somewhat erratic in manner.
The report of the Commission was with
held until November 14. In the mean
time Mrs. Ten Broeck filed a petition
asking the Court to appoint a guardian
for her husband. Dr. Buckley, of Sau
Francisco, testified that Ten Broeck is
insane.
