Dr. Mitchell has ob- served that an unselfish motive is more often the one which leads to recovery. Many a young girl thought to be incurable has risen from her couch to assume the part-of nurse, and has never returned to a state of invalidism. Patients of this class have sometimes escaped from their bond- age in the effort to save others from sud- den danger. The treatment of these cases by sudden shock is, however, not often practicable, or even wise, and the decision as to what course of action it is best to pursue in each case should be left to the physician. It is always well to remove the patient from home. The condition of home life un- der which the disease has been developed is unfavorable to recovery. Much may be done to prevent hysteria by properly directing the aims of those in- clined to be emotional and hysterical. A fixed resolve to accomplish some unselfish purpose does not leave room for the de- velopment of hysteria. tee Erratic Flight of Geese. Frem the Hartford Times. The Canada goose is on his travels this year and no mistake. A large and volu- ble flock of these big birds was heard and seen flying northward over Manchester on Easter Sunday about church time. These late raigrants heading for the north pole probably came from some locality further south than many others, When it is remembered that the geese didn’t start on their last migration south- ward until very late—a good many flocks passing over Connecticut all through the — week in December—and that some of t ¢ earliest returning flocks heading north \ were seen flying over this neighborhood as early as the last wee other flocks were heading northward through March—when all this. is_ re’ em- demoralized on their and got times and seasons No doubt some of them went south last fall or winter than and bays of the North Carolina coast; whe others dou continued on to places much further south.

Perhaps the nearest approach to the ideal of “hunting without hunting” is the annual deer hunt at the opening of spring, when the largest stags in Richmond Park are netted and transferred to Windsor. Two brace was the number proposed to be caught this year, but in a long day's work, with mounted riders, deerhounds and nets, only three stags were taken, The means used are the most ancient of the “‘tixed engines” ot sport, The deer are literally “taken in the toils." These are long lines of netting which are, afid have been for centuries, part of the equipment of all the royal deer parks. ‘These nets are made of thin rope, with an eight-inch mesh. The height is nearly tweive feet, but part of this lies upon the ground, the nets being hung loosely on ash poles, So that when a Place stag does charge them he catches himself like a gigantic bbit. Quite 200 yards of this netting, forming a heavy load for a farm horse and cart, are used in “one of these hunts, and even with this equipment it is no easy matter to catch the largest and most cunning stags in so wide a park. The long line of nets was. se right angles to the Penn ponds, on the Richmond side of the water, stretching up a gentle hollow toward the wood on the hilitop. ‘The deer were lying on the fern-covered hilisides half a mile from the nets, to the south of White Lodge, and as they need to be driven down wind, and the breeze was from th vutheast, the eondition wer ctly those required for success. ‘The line of nets did not cover the whole of the space between the Penn ponds and the wood, but the interval was guarded by “stops” with white flags to prevent the deer breaking through the gap. Half way between the deer and the nets ‘a couple of deerhounds were held in leash behind a creen of hurdles, to hurry the stag if it approac.- the nets too leisurely; but the main duties of the day Jay with half a dozen riders, one a lady, who had to cut out the big stag from the herd and drive him in the right direction. Mr. Sawyer, the head keeper, directed the forces so en- gaged. Like Bruce before Bannockburn, he was mounted on a white pony, the ot riders being on big hunters; but’ the pony a delightful old-fashioned animal, win a suspicion of a turned-up nose, and a gen- eral look of being a family friend, was evi- dently, like hig master, an old hand at the business, and uncommonly workmanlike both of them looked as they rode through the grove of giant oaks, and then with whips cracking “rounded up” the deer, It waS not till after some hard riding that the big stag was cut off from the herd, and when this was done he showed the utmost disinclination to hurry himself or go where he was wanted. “It’s those bicycles ruin them,” an old forester grumbled. «Now those wheels are grinding round the park all day, the stags have got so as they are afraid of nothing; they’ll hardly move if you asked them with your hat off.” + This stag trotted into the oak grove and dodged rovi.d the big trees. When he did break he came straight down wind, but only at a trot, unt# the hounds were slip- ped aficr him. Then he broke into a gal- lcp, and, making straight down the valley, charged the net and rolled over like a rabbit. It was astonishing to see how completely this big deer was entangled in the eight-inch mesh. Both horns, his nose and all four feet were meshed; and it was not wjthout considerable difficulty that the body of keepers and watchers who pounced on him and held him fast couid | to the st disengage him., When this his feet were) firmly pped together with leathery nds, it took seven men to lift him intBitWe bed of fern at the bottom of the cart-in-which he was io be dri in Phis vehicle is a_curi pill, and bears intlarge cay plicn, “Her Majesty's Cart y.thy one and only cart owned WThE stu, ho had hardiy If-pogrensign, except when being as done, and upon, : a “ ° behind the plac- at once struggled on to his kn : and koaPe ont over the front of his| ive of this San can in a litte carriage, Uber jhey “kneeling hart’ of ber- -year commercial ary Samvel, robbed The next stag was e Nn more reluctant to Le drisgi und far morestuckys Me played a game of “ ‘among tbe oaks with | great suce some twenty minutes, | then ms ight down the valley.
