Ift Takes Various Forms, lint Is Inrnrlnhly n Forrrnnnrr of liemrntla A lilsrnse Tlint Nlmnlil He Carrfully Treated In Time Aflrets Mpn as Well as Women.

Thin is tlio rpsnlt of extrusive invpeti pntitni by insanity exports ou bnth sides of tlio water. Excoptioiil lmslifulnrss, ns it is callod, is really Bliynoss. It is n limrljid condition of tlio mind, n cortitin ort of di'Uieutin. Ofton is tlio I'tpropsitin lionrd that a person is painfully shy. Yet in suoli nu instniioR no dmilit hns botn rnisod ns to tho niftitsl rondition of thn ohjoot of tlio rrmnrlc. NoTfrthrlsss, li is fnr more thou probatils that the indiTidnal refer rod to wns suffrfiiiR from insanity just ns much if nut more, than ninny per sons Ti lio nre living out a tortured exist euno within thn wulls of n niHilliinise. It is a well known fnet thnt one. of tlio most notithlo symptoms of insanity is that wlih'h onuses tho person nflliotod to sluin thn ootnpHiiy of others. Loneli ness is 1111 incentive to Insunity. Con fliii niont in n solltnry cell in a prison often breeds mndness. It is nltoKOther nu nnnntural montiil rondition which impels a person to avoid tho society of humanity. No 0110 whoso condition is normal ever consents to such nu exist ence. JttNt how the insanity export looks nt shyness is shown by thn following stnto mont, made by Dr. O. W. Kutta of Now Yin 1, whom wide exporionoe mnkei his opinion well worth considering;: "Shyness is ns mnrh a disease ns senr let frvtr. It is rerngniurd as a symptom of Mierrtia r mclanrlKilia, just as 1111 extremely strong willed person, or 0110 who is whnt is termed unusually self asseniva, is regarded by physicians as n possible irubjiet for aitate paresis. "Thia shynees tnkiM various forms, sneh as a tudtlea feeling of fniutnoss and weaVtwas oa looking down from any eisiesss beiaht. It is present whon a wosnesi wtnM in looking under tlin bed befur rrtirinia, although sho knows full woll that there is no man there. I know of 0110 case of a womuu who, whe she tnms ont tho gns, invariably Jighfs a mah'.h to see if sho hits turned it oiTiletly off, and nine times out of ten she lights mini hoi- lniucli to seo if sho threw the first malnh into tho tioul srnttle or fireplace. That is another form of what may bo termed shyness. "Thia shyness is duo to a vnrioty of cause. It is very often the caso that a jysteas which is run down lends to this 0ondiHni of iniud. The continual think ing nrnai any subject, or what is termed jbroodirjg over a certain thing, lends to 'thia. If not cheeked in time, molnn cbolia results. "Thia shyness is as common to men as to women. Some men seem em bar r a seed and ill ut ease when in the pres ence of women, while, on the other iband, H is efton noticed that tlrs pres ence of gentlomeu makes some women rery ill at ease, ouly, in Justice to the ex, it must be stated that thia very rareJy happens. "There are many roasoug for those facta, but the most common one is ill health. Should a person so troubled go to a physician, he or she would be re- ?;arded as possessing symptoms indicate ng lack of will power and approach ing insanity in some form. There are waves of morbid shyness, just s there are waves of insanity. There are waves of oertain kinds of suicide, resulting from insanity. There are waves of bridge jumping, killing with razors or knives, shooting and death by poison, "Many suioidos aro dne to temporary insanity, brought ou by a variety of causes. One of the first symptoms ia shyness. Persons nfflioted " with thia sliyness never take up any of the soiencea or professions or booome students, Thoy lack the will power necessary to do so. Where the normal mind of man over comes difficulties and troubles when they come, the shy, retirins man seeks relief in suicide. " Dr. Henry Campbell, who is the chv- sioian in charge of the Northwest Lou don hospital, says that morbid shyness is, like other mental disorders, an exag geration of an unnatural physical state. It is among women, he deolarea, that this symptom of mental disorder is moat often seen. Lacking the physical strength of man in mast instances, they are un able to withstand the depression that sometimes seizes them. That depression gives birth to desire to be unobserved. Here is the beginning of the fit of shy. Bess which results in unbalancing the mini and creating the idea that the very tight of others is an affliction to be voided. Several New York doctors who dis cussed the question at length said that they bad noticed particularly among yotmg women whom they had been call ed upon to see that those who had ex hibited the greatest embarrassment in the pretenoe of young men were lacking in that mental equipoise neoesaary to the normal brain. Modesty is one thing, they said, shyness quite another. The cue causes tbo young woman to refrain from aotion that would bring nrjon her Just oritioism. The other is simply im pelled to a course of aotion for wbloh there is neither rhyme nor reason, and one that only results in general discom fort, New York Jot ruul. A ROYAL CORNER. How Ike Sarrrcl, ir Lonely, l'rcrlnrt Was Invaded by an American. An Aincricnn attending a wedding re ception in a grent house in London con grntulntod bride mid liridcKroom nml pnssod tho tismil compliments with tho host mid hostess, Thero wns a grent throng of pnests, and lie rnuld not linger nt tho entrimco tif tho drawing room when there worn ninny behind him nnxions to offer their greetintis, lVrcoiving n quiet corner to tho right f tho brido whom n gontlcuum nml a Indy were standing npart from the other guests ho wont directly lo it, unwit tingly coming to n stop between two roynl pcrstihitgeg, Tho Aniericnn wns not aware of tho net thnt ho wns face to face with one of tho qnem's dnughters and Intel turned his buck nptin another member of tho roynl family, Ho stood quietly looking about, hoping to see some iicqunintnitco in tho ootnpnny with whom lie might have a chat, nml soou beennio tincotn fin tnlily conscious thnt he wns attracting attention and that tho hostess nnil brido Vt'Pi'o ensting unrnsy ghmces in the di rection of tlio corner where he liml taken shelter. While tho drnwing room wns crowded, tho eonipnny of guests with 0110 consent avoided tho secluded corner where ho nnil his two royul compnuions Worn stationed. An ncquiiintnneo in tho background perceived his mistake, nnd coining with in hulling distnuco motioned to him. Ho left his two compnuions in exelusivo ooonpntiou of tho comer, turning his back upon both ns he edged his wny through tho throng, whilo everybody stared at him. When ho rcnchtid tho spot whore his acquaintnuce was wait ing for him, the stngo whisper wns breathed into ills onr: "Tou haro been pouching on roynl preserves. You aro a privileged charac ter beeanso yon aro an Auierirnn, but no Englishman ventnres to turn iiis buck upon a prince or a princess. People wrro Storing you out of conntonnnco hecausn they took it for granted thnt you innfit bo a royal personnr, yot they wero un abln to identify you. " The answer might have been mado that every American is a sovereign by tlio divino right of equality of free cit iv.i nsklp, but this would luivo ln un a liioiiiiinglehs pleasantry in an EiiKlinh diuwing room, whero social ctiquctla lins a sanctity superior tu loyalty to domooratio principle. Tlio Americnn thanked his friend for rescuing liim from nu embarrassing po sition, and I hen stood by nnd watched tho (inner whoro royalty was isolated from too close contact with the world of wealth and fashion. No gnest approached the royal pair. Tliuir presence was an act of condescen sion to tho host nnd hostess, and thoy remained on exhibition as the patrons of this social function without having their corner invaded. Everybody was careful not to approach thorn too close ly, and thcTe was a goneral sense of re lief when they departed and the neces sity for backing away from them on side tracks was removed. Youth's Compan ion. The First Ilutanlo Gardens. After the discovery of the medical properties of plants it must bave fol lowed, in course of time, that represent atives of tho species to wbioh remedial properties were attributed should be col lected and grown in some place, conven iently and readily accessible, as need de manded. The last step did not immedi ately follow, however, sinoe, among the conditions whioh were earlier supposed to influence the potency of medicinal berfcs, the locality in which grown and the mysteries attending their collection Were of the greatest importance. The first authentic record of tho introduction of medicinal plauts into cultivated plots of 'ground dates no farther back than the time of the eilder Pliny, 28-79 A. D., Who writes of the garden of An tonius Castor, at Rome, in whioh were grown a largo number of medicinal plants. This step may have been taken much earlier by the Greeks, Chiueso or Mexicans, however. Later the Benedictine monks of north era Italy paid great attention to the growing of remedial herbs and devoted an important proportion of the monas tery gardens to this purpose. This prao tioe was also oarried beyond the Alps, and in 1020 a garden was in existence at the monastery of St Oall, in Switzer land, a few kilometers distant from Lake Constance, whioh contained 16 plots oc cupied by medicinal plants. A garden of this character was founded in 1309 at Salerno ai.d another in Venioe in 1880.
