Most people believe this swinging of the arms as they walk is merely a natural swaying motion, caused by the movement of the body just as the tassel of an umbrella will swing when one is walking with it, but this is by no means the reason. The swinging of the arms is natural enough, but the nature of it dates away back to those unknown days when man was a quadruped. Of course, when man was a fourâ€" footed animal he walked with his "‘urms" as well as his legs, and even toâ€"day after the thousands upon thousands of gencrations that have passed since he assumed an upright position, every time he takes a step his arm moves a trifie, involuntarily, as though desirous of taking a step in its turn just as it did when a man, then fourâ€"footed, pranced up and down tho earth.

I was on deck attending to my duty with the gun, when all of a su«iden there was a most infernal rowâ€"and then the nurse says, ‘Sit up and take this,‘" Nice Old Lady. She was a charitable old lady, of a somewhat inquisitive turn of mind, and she was paying a visit to a naval hospital. Presontly she came up to the bedside of a poor fellow who was one of the victims of a gun explosion. ‘‘My poor felâ€" low," she said, depositing a bunch of grapes within his reach, "Your sensations and sufferings at the time of the accident must have been terrible. Can youâ€"will you. describe them to me?‘ "‘Well, mum,‘"‘ he said stolidly, "I don’t‘ know as I can; but I can tell you In the casé of ailments of the mind, for instance,>it is first of all the nerves governing the sensibilâ€" ’ity that an effort must be made to touch. Music is at once a means of exciting the body, which has beâ€" come diseased, and a diversion for the mind. To those minds which are no longer conscious of the ordiâ€" nary life of the world of music can still speak. It seoms even as if it could put into the brains of the inâ€" sane a gleam of life.

If, on the other hand, he is suffering from a stomach ailâ€" ment it will increase the pain by causing contractions of the organ which is already painful. ‘ For a long time past musicotherâ€" any has been employed in a rationâ€" al manner. It has been used in the treatment of madmen. _ Esquirel organized concerts at Chareaton, but he was not very well satisfied with the results obtained. In 1840 Leurcet, at Bicetre, renewed the same attempt, but also without much success. Rince this period atâ€" tempts have often been made to diâ€" vert madmen in this way. It would appear that in the treatment of madness music has not given the good results expected. But if the experiment has not been a success it may be because music is felt in a different manner by every human being and the more so must that be the case with those who are disâ€" eased. It is especially in the treatment of nervous diseases that music has given the best results. Cases of hysteria and epilepsy seem someâ€" times to have been cured by conâ€" certs. The attack, treated at the start, ceased and subsequently ocâ€" curred more rarely and ended by not appearing any more. ; | . It is difficult to take these pretty legends literally; it is perhaps more rational to believe Old Homer | when he says that when Ulysses had | been wounded by a wild boar, muâ€" |sic made him forget the pain. That }is the first case on record in which a remedy is sought in this art. | The Grecks claimed that Esculaâ€" pius was a son of Apollo. Though it is no longer pnssible to believe, in accordance with this legend, that Medicine is the daughter of Music, at least it is permissible to think, says M. Nitello, that they are two sisters, the elder of which sometimes gives aid to the other. Reacts on Lunacy, But to leave this distant period and come down to Celsi, it is seen that this doctor recognizes already the action of music on the minds of lunatiecs. Then this same art is inâ€" dicated by various authors as a remedy for the most diverse ailâ€" ments. Galien recommends it for snake bites; Athenea, Theophrasâ€" tus and Aulu Gele believo in its happy influence on sciatica and gout; Theocritus and Thales see in it a means of contending against|â€" pest. , The oldest legends of antiquity tell us what a mysterious power the men of those days sometimes attributed to music. The songs of Orpheus and the sound of his lyre even, it is said, attracted wild beasts, which came crawling up to listen at his feet, vanquished. The allâ€"powerful beauty of the song of this hero even softened the hearts of the pitiless divinitics of Hades. M. Nitello, in an article on this subject published in Medicina, reâ€" calls how, to the sound of Amâ€" phion‘s lyre, the stones became animated and came to place themâ€" selves one upon another to build the City of Thebes. ; ‘MUSC Will REAL DisEASE Doctors Recogaize the Action of Harmonics on Minds of Maniacs. sCIEXTISTS CANNOT DENY ITS INFLUZNCE.
