•'Prior to their Inn gration to the
country east of the Mississippi, both be
longed to the Muskogee nation of In
dians. Ore being for separation, tool:
the name of •Choctaw.’ the other, beir.g
for rebellion, chose the name of ‘Chick
asaw.’ Thus much for the names,
taken principally, ve suppose, frem
their respective chiefs—Chotah and
Chichsah. The traditions of the Choc

from a country be: oml the 'Big Waters,'
far to th» nor hwest; and the Muskogee.
Shawnee and Cherokee tribes have the
same traditions that print beyond
Behring straits to Asia, as the land from
which their fotefaihers came in past
ages. They owned this va't continent

HYSTERICS AND SYMPTOMS.
Ileultliy- I.lvlnir. Open-Air Exerrlie
and Cheerful Employment Are
l’rcveu tat Ivor.
This is a disorder of the nervous sys
tem. It occurs chiefly in girls between
13 and 23 years of age, because at that
yxziiyju VJl liiC LUC L'UUMUUllUn IS 011611
in a somewhat unsettled condition; but
men also sometimes suffer from It,
though very rarely, compared to women.
“Hysteria," says an eminent physi
;ian. "is in some instances distinctly
traceable to digestive disturbances, es
pecially long-continued constipation.
Causes referable to the mode of life in
which girls are brought up and to their
general habits aid materially in its pro
duction, such as want of useful employ
ment, indolent and luxurious habits,
overpetting and spoiling, subjection to
the petty worries of fashionable life,
keeping late hours at parties or reading
sentimental novels."
Healthy living, open-air exercise and
plenty of cheerful employment are the
great preventives of this ailment.
Bad feeling, overwork and long-con
tinued grief and anxiety may lead to
hysteria, as well as the opposite condi
tions of too luxurious living.
As a rule, a at of hysterics occurs when
other people are present; it never comeg
on during sleep.
There is first sighing, sobbing, laug^
ing and moaning, if the pstgyu - ^
sympathized with foolishly and fussed
over, she will then go on talking and
gesticulating wildly, struggle violently
and throw herself about, clenching her
hands and feeling as if a ball were ris
ing in her throat to suffocate her. She
may appear to lose consciousness, but
if you touch her eyeballs she will open
her eyes quickly enough.
She will never fall so as to injure her
self. as people do in epileptic flu.
As hysteria chiefly occurs In people
who are not in the habit of self-control,
injudicious sympathy aggravates the
symptoms.
