Biting the Nails.There has been issued from th« Paris press a brochure which created a large amount of interest in French medical circles, both on account of its originality and the experimental re suits which it embodies. It is from the pen of Dr. Edgar Berlllon. so well known in the surgical world by reason of his connection with Charcot In the latter** hypnotic experiments, and as secretaire general de la Societe d'Hypnologie et de Psychologie of Paris, and medical inspector of the state lunatic asylums. The work is a scientific treatise on onycophagie, or finger biting, and contains the results j of a serh s of observations In the public and private schools of France, and extending through a period of more than seven years. In his thorough scientific treatment of what the world has never before considered worthy of prolonged or special study Herlllon arrived at results really remarkable Mis experiments led him to pronounce the habit far more widespread and pernicious than others promptly treated. and forced him to conclude that. If not a disease itself, it is an unfailing mark of incipient degeneration of the nervous system, which, unrecognized. may be productive ol the most evil results.—Dundee Adevertiser.Refuge for Men Over Fifty.However, the proper place for ev cry man of 50 who has not acquired I a competence is the country—the land. On the land, he can, if he wishes, be independent of everybody. \nd he can get to the land, and mak*a living ofT it. if ho-has enterprise, enough to entitlo him to any sort olconsideration.
