The Power of Mind
Over Matter
By MARGARET C DEVEAUX
I
At eighteen 1 was a delicate girl In
the doctor's cure for somo nervous af
fection the nature of wliteh seemed to
puzzle him. During this time I visited
a fritaid of mine who lived In a city.
On ray arrival I was shown to my
room, the two rear windows of which
looked do wn iy^o a had yam, uui thm»
was a side window which looked dl
rectl) iiiio another side window 01 tho
next house, the Interval between being
but a few yards. My f'.leji<j thr?w open
ell those windows and iert no to make
my toilet.
As socti as she had gone I went flrst
to the nar windows uid looked oat
then to the side window. There, star
ing. looking at me. was my counterpart
—Indeed, myself. I started, and she
started. Then, covering ray fsc» with
my hands, l turned awrj and burled
my head iu the pillows on tho bed.
How iong I remained there I cannot
tell. It was prohtWy but a few min
utes, but it seemed a long wluK I
was sure that my nervous afllctfon had
Produced the apparition. I had seen
myself on-e before In a dream, from
which I awoke with e violent heart
beat. bjt 1 had not consider^ that a
matter of moment Bnt now I h!>d ap
peared to myself in broad dayhgbt I
had before me the frightful prospect of
pas.Ung !uto insanity.
Not for tho world would I have my
hosts burn of tny luinnity. Some per
sons uiusf rell of «'l ch^ir sefees and
p?iiis :v:d forebodings If only for sym
pathy: I concealed mine. As soon as
I bid pulled myself together I arose
and without looking at the window
where I bad seen myself went down
stairs without ha vlug changed my dress.
I told my friend that 1 wes a poor
sleeper and hoped that Uj the morning
I would not be swikenod by too much
light pouring into my room. She said
at tnce that she must put me Into an
other chamber, since tho one I occupied
faccd tho rising sun. This was exactly
what I wanted, and I slept that night
in an apartment facing the west.
I intended to make r.n excuse to go
away the next day; but. seeing no
further signs of myself, I was persuad
ed to remain. My friends, who knew
that 1 was in poor health, vrero ex
tremely kiud to me, and nowhere else
could I find rest and comfort as I conld
with them. As I grew stronger a da
sire came to me to look out of tha
window whero I had seen iny double
and perhaps I would see her again.
But so great was my dread that I dared
not go into the room to make the trial.
I made several attempts to conquer
my fears, but they were failures.
My hosts had lived many years in
the locality and knew several of their
neighbors, all of whom owned their
own houses. I was invited to different
social gatherings among them and
shortly before I left the place was
asked to dine next door, in th* very
house where I had seen myself stand
ing at the window. I scarcely tered
accept the invitation, and yet how could
I refuse, fc* those who bad Invited me
were very dear friends of my hosts?
1 tried to think of some freuse that
would not be considered such, bnt tried
in vain. When informed of the invi
tation I pretended not to Iwar, uad it
was accepted for me, with other guests
of my busts, since we wure an Invited
together.
AS lue UM1C uitw urui I tuvujut *
stum id make pretense oI telling unable
to go, but «ithin me was a secret de
sire to see If the apparition would
corae to ue there. Between this dread
and desire I hesitated till It -was time
to drec3 ?cr the evening, then wont up
to my room in such a state of Indeci
sion that when it was announced that
it was time to be off I was but half
dressed. Mechanical!? I completed my
toilet mid. going downstairs, suffered
myself to be led out passively.
The toom into which ve ladles were
shown to It-are our wraps was on the
ppositc side cf the house from that
tvblch s^ooil beside the home of my
hosts. This whs a relief to ru\ There
was no reason for me to dread the
spot where had seen myself; but,
then, a tier-ous person Is not amena
ble to reason, and I was in a condi
tion of nervous weakness not far from
a general breakdown.
Y.'ith the exception of myself, there
vrns r very homoy aoous party, and
even I after a g!us-» or two of wine
was suifl.-teutiy braced to enjoy my
self. The dinner passed off so pleas
nntly and I felt so stimulated by the
wine 1 drank that I began to have a
desire to visit that part of the house
in which I hud sera ray counterpart.
XVtr»ii we went upstairs for our wraps
1 1 ran up ahead of ihe othet£ and fol
j lowed Uie hall in the direction of the
i place of the apparition. After turn
ing at ?u angle 1 come to a door which
I opened and walked Into a bedroom.
Facing u window which I knew look
ed out roou the side <>f the house of
my hosts was a pier glass.
Never in my life have I experienced
such relief as when the fact occurred
to me that I had mistaken my reflec
tion In this glass for myself. No
wonder my image started when I
started. Closing the door, I darted
around the ball, reaching the robing
room just as the others came up the
stairs.
This episode showed me the power
of the mind over the holy. I realized
that tnr.ch of my Infirmity I had pro
duced on myself and made a resolu
tion to give up doctors j.nd medicine
and brooding alike. Th's I did and
gradually became strong again.
LEGAL PHANTOMS.!
Many Statutes That Exist Only
In the Imagination.
EXAMPLES OF "NO SUCH LAW"
Popular Beliefs Which Have Sprung
Up, No One Knows How, and Become
Fixed Ideas, Yet Have No Founda
tion In Legislative Enactments.
Many people have the Idea that if
one owes a bill and goes to his debtor
and tells him that he Is willing to pay
and then offers some trifling sum on
account, say $1 or even less per week
or month, the creditor is obliged to
take it, utterly regardless of the fact
that if creditors were obliged to re
ceive payment in that way it would
put most of them out of business in a
very short period.
There Is no such law.
In the minds of very many people,
especially In the country districts,
there is another firmly fixed idea that
if oue person strikes another first the
person assaulted may then all but
pound the other to death.
There is nu such law.
A person assaulted has the right to
defend himself, but he may not use
any more force than necessary to do
that To use more than necessary
force completely turns the tables, and
the assaulted becomes the aggressor
and liable for his excess of zeal in
dn ranges commensurate with the dam
age done. A person has the right to
order an undesirable person from his
premises and to use sufficient force to
eject him if he does not go when so
ordered, but he has no right to acceler
ate his movements with one or more
well placed kicks.
Many people who owe biUs labor un
der a strong impression that it is the
duty of their creditors to come to theia
for their money.
There is no such law.
There is a proverb which says, "The
borrower is servant to the lender."
The bank will not come to you if you
owe a note which it holds for collec
tion. Out of courtesy it will send you
a notice that your note is due (it is not
compelled to do that), but you must
go to the bank to make payment
In the country frequently and In
the city sojietimes one is told that.
If a person dies ieaving children and
grandchildren, the children of a de
ceased child, the grandchildren, are not
entitled to the share of the estate
which their parent would have taken,
as the father or mcther having died
there is no way whereby the inherit
ance can pass over from the deceased
to the grandchildren—in other words,
the line is broken.
There Is no such law.
The statutes expressly provide that
the children of deceased heirs take
the share that would have gone to
their parent.
A person owns a fruit tree and its
branches overhang the land of his
neighbor. Many think because of that
the neighbor is entitled to the fruit
on the overhanging branches.
There is uo such law.
a toe tree fiat upon tne line ne
tween the estates the neighbor would
i be entitled to one-hnlf of the fruit,
but being wholly on one side the owner
is entitled to all the fruit and may go
upon his neighbor's laDd and gather it
without being guilty of trespass. If
! the neighbor does not like this ar
j raagement he may take his as or saw
and cut the limbs off at the line be
tween the estates, but he must throw
them on bis neighbor's land, as the
wood of the tree belongs to him. The
owner of the tree may not like to have
his tree treated thus, but he cannot
help himself.
Two men own adjacent lots of land.
One wishes to have a fence between
them; the other does not Many people
think that one may build the fence and
compel the other to pay for half of it
There is no such law.
In such a case one owner may call
in the fence viewers and have them
ascertain the line and designate which
part of the fence each shall build.
Neither party, however, can compel the
other to build any particular style of
' fence. The mover in the matter may
I want a fancy fence, but the other may
build his half of any material satis
! factory to himself, and so long as it is
a legal fence he cannot be compelled
to build any other.
Many shopkeepers demand that And
ers of lost money or valuables in their
stores shall deliver them over to them,
as they own the articles because they
were found on their premises.
There is no such law.
The finder of money or other valu
ables on the floor outside the counter
in a store Is the owner of the same
against the whole world except the
loser, but it has been held that if the
owner left the money or goods upon
the counter or on a table in the store
they were practically in the care of 1
the storekeeper and he had the right
to their custody, while he could not
make such a claim to goods which
were found on the floor.—Boston Globe. |
Young, Inexpert Fish.
Tommy, new to the country, went
fishing Id the creek with Luke, the
hired man. Tommy returned in the
late hours in true fisherman's style,
empty handed, but with an excuse.
"It wasn't our fault," he said. "We
had some bites and got three fish right
up into the air. but tfiey were little
ones and didn't know bow to hold on."
—New York Post
Real happiness is cheap enough, yet
how dearly we pay for its counterfeit!
—Hosea Ballou.
