/A *A [4 M In Italy a woman will stab her unâ€" faithful lover; in France she tries to blind him by throwing vitriol in his face. The practical Englishwoman contents herself with an action for damages. On the other hand, there are cases in which a person ended his or her own life not to stand in the way of a happy union of their lover with a rival. That love may eause permanent mental derangement is well known. Thus a young lady patient of a highly moral and very romantic naâ€" ture fell in love, and was carried away by her vivid imagination and pure devoâ€" tion, to which the practical lover not only did not respond, but in the end married another girl. Notwithstanding this fact, hoer love, though he was gone, continued true to him, and she would sit all day sighing for him and whisperâ€" ing his name. Her mind was only occuâ€" ied with thoughts of love. She died of teart failure. There can be no doubt that love is infectious. It is probably ecmmunicated by arrowâ€"shaped germs, which emanate from the ocular organs, though at times the infection has been attributed to a gentle squeeze of the hand. Antiseptics are powerless Symptoms show that love is a discase affecting the person both mentally and physically: <the question arisesâ€"What ean be dane to cure it? Much exercise and application to study are often beneâ€" ficont when the attack is slight. A change of climate may prove effectual in severer cases. _ Sometimes the patient Leander, the lover, may swim across the Hellespont for his Hero; but Leanâ€" der married would searcely swim across a duck pond for her. If they are forâ€" tunate, their love changes through the habit of association to mutual attachâ€" ment, friendship and affection; but it is not the same love which governed them before they were united, as is proved by the fact that marriage is no protection against the outbreak of a new passion. But let no one think that T am acainst marriace, for ‘Marry or don‘t marryâ€" you will regret whichever you do.‘" ear be induced to love two objects at the same time, in which case he is alâ€" most sure to get tired of one and lose the other. _ But when everything has been done, as a last resource recourse may be had to marriage. It is wonderâ€" ful how love changes after possession of the object of prediliction has been obâ€" tained. IN THE WORLD OF CLOTHES, fitr long chain fad shows no sign o‘ wan n#.

On the other hand, a touch of the lips, the action of a second, may cause symptoms of exultation and happy illusions of most enduring character. Influenced by the latter sensation, I have known men to‘change the habits of a lifetime, to break with their own relations, to disâ€" miss their most faithful servants, to ruin themselves financially, to give up their elub and smoking. and even to change their politics and religion. And yet there are people who regard a lover as a reasomable being. Again, many a woman has come to hate her father and mother simply because they have offendâ€" ed the man she adored. Some patients become moody, and avoid scociety; they grow pale and thin, especially when their lover stays away too long. _ MorbiA thoughts of selfâ€"destruction may arise, and sometimes homicidal impulses at the sight of a rival have been known to ocâ€" eur.

An examination of the symptoms of this universal complaint wiil soon reveal its abnormality. The lover has a predilecâ€" tion for a certain object, which object to an{ impartial observer does not maâ€" terially differ from many others of the same class. When a person is acutely in love the respiratoin becomes â€" sighing, there is a tendency to suffusion of the countenance, to confusion of thought and language; there may be loss of apâ€" petite and insomnia. Tgere is a dispoâ€" sition to violent palpitation, an irreguâ€" lar pulse, and a sensation at times as if the heart had been displaced upwards into the larynx. There is often blindâ€" ness to both physical and mental deâ€", fects of the objects of adoration. & The view expressed by Dr. Bernard Hollander, that love was a discease, has been warmly discussed. New light is now thrown on the subject by a letter from the doctor himself: "That love is a discase may appear to many a proâ€" nouncement lacking in foundation, and Minard‘s Liniment Relieves Neuralgia.

I was met with a roar of applause ai I ran down the hotel steps. The band blared in salute, and tho crowd opened up for maas I hastened, The parachute was stretched out from the straining balloon. As the man with me snapped the hooks on the ring, he showed me where the rope hung and toid me how to pull it when cuiting loose. He was the excited one. I was in a semiâ€"stupor. A bitâ€" ter indifference filled me as I looked at the ugly, swaying monster which was to boar me to aflluence or death, "Let her go!" With a cleaving of the air and a rceh ‘of sound like the coming of a cyclone, the balloon shot upward. I ran for the bar, grasped it and soared. e I tried to swing up on the bar. But the rush of the ascent straightâ€" ened me like an iron rod. I thought my arms would be pulled out. A sickness came over me, comparable to the effect of the start made by a highâ€"speed elevator,. Then the moâ€" tion became more easy and I swung u_ pon the bar. I was accustomed to gazing down from heights, and felt no fear as I stared at the fadâ€" ing crowd. I could see them wayâ€" ing hats and hands; could hear the band playiog ; and was conscious of a pleasaut, dreamy seasation, and of a stcady, ca y ri4nz {.om th» g:ound, I ventured to bend a "crab‘" and make a few "ankle drops."
