In the cabled press reports which reached American readers after the destruction of St.

Pierre, it will be remembered that considerable emphasis was placed on the fears entertained In Martinique that the well known author and magazine writer. George Kennan. had perished in an attempt to scale Mont Pnlee. Happily the rumors proved groundless, although If the ascent by Mr. Kennan in company with Professor Heilprin had been delayed one day.

they would undoubtedly have been destroyed by the greatest volcanic eruption of those which followed the fatality of May 8. Mr. Ken nan's story of his experiences and of his observations made in a thorough exploration of the devastated region, form a thrilling story, and will make for the general reader the best obtainable history of what happened in Martinique and of the scientific causes. Mr. Kennan's account has been running in serial form in the Outlook, and will be published In book form under the title "The Tragedy of Peine" by (he Outlook Company.

The book will be fully Illustrated with photographs taken by Mr. Kennan and others. Geologists Discuss It in the Century Magazine. It will be remembered that among the of Intend WOMEN'S HOTEL IK BOSTON. First One in City Opened in Transformed N.

E. Conservatory. The old New England Conservatory of Music, familiar for many years to visitors to Boston, has been converted into a women's hotel, the first building of its kind in the city. The hotel is designed for self supporting women and feminine students. A feature of the transformed building is a series of small reception rooms, in which the residents of the hotel may receive their callers without being subjected to the inconvenience of entertaining their friends in a general reception room or in their own rooms.

Different organizations furnished these parlors and they are said to be unusually attractive. Musicalcs, private theatricals, (lances and other entertainments will be given during the winter in the large auditorium and there will also be educational features. There is a library of 1.500 volumes in the hotel and free medical attendance will be at the command of permanent residents. The hotel is not 1o be con ducted as a philanthropic enterprise and the rates charged will bo sufficient to cover all expenses. It Is expected that the young women boarding at the hotel will get better return for their money than elsewhere, but their board bills will not be any smaller tha'n heretofore.

The house contains 26'i rooms and between 400 and 500 women can be accommodated. TO TRY ARBITRATION. Chicago Housewife Association's Committee Will Endeavor to Settle Disputes Between Mistresses and Maids. The Chicago Housewife Association is evidently determined to put domestic service on a scientific basis. Its latest, move in that direction Is to appoint a standing arbitration committee of three members, to which is to be submitted all questions of dispute between mistresses and servants.

The decisions of the committee are to be binding on both parties to a dispute, the penalty in case of a recalcitrant mistress being expulsion from the association, while a servant who fails in her duty will forfeit the right to refer future employers to the headquarters of the association. Every maid, on completing one year of service in the family of one of the members of the association, is to be given a diploma, and at the end of the second consecutive yoar is given the choice of a seal on her diploma or a cash premium of $10, with an additional prize of $5 for each succeeding year. The association is to establish on employment agency; and its constitution provides that a maid, taken ill after four weeks' service lh a family, shall be entitled to free medical attention. The efforts of this association to bring order out of the present chaotic condition of domestic service are worth the attention of women In every city In the country. Harper's Weekly.

It is reported that Edward P. Remington is not satisfied that NEWS anaestncsia. or tne inscnsimmy to pain oi one side ot tne ootij a son oi imaginary paralysis is very common: local anaesthesia, the Insensibility of a linger, of a particular spot on the body, or of many spots in a sort of geometrical arrangement, frequently occurs. But the peculiarity of these symptoms which defies analysis is that they appear to have their origin rather in the imagination than in the flesh or nerves. The phenomenon disappears in drunkenness; it yields temporarily to morphine, electricity or hypnotic suggestion.

Equally peculiar are the symptoms known as amnesia, or forgotful ness. partial catalepsies, and singular Irregularities of the emotions. But perhaps the most interesting form of hysteria is abulia, or loss of will, which, we are inclined to suggest. Is much akin to melancholia, although lir. Janet refers to it rather as a symptom of melancholia.

From the layman's point of view ahuly Is the same thing as melancholy, and both might find a synonym In ennui. Volltlonary impotence, which looks so much like laziness and indecision, is a form of hysteria, and it Is a pity it cannot always be recognized and treated as such. But there are many men and women, especially those engaged in intellectual work, wbo are constantly suffering from this dreadful malady without becoming sufficiently insane to be relieved of, the necessity of earning their living. One of the most useful charities still open to philanthropists would be a home for abuliamanlaqs. Loss of Will Power Instanced.

Among the symptoms of abulia are mental Inertia, egotism and suicidal mania. Dr. W. delphln. broiling chickens.
