NATURES POEM.
By HELEN A. MANvILLE.

wonderful, marvellous poem,
OF birds and the murmuring brook,
The finger of Nature to-day
Has penned in her beautiful book.
The breezes swept down from the mountain
And rustled its leaves into song;
And each hour was verse 30 the poem
As the beautiful day was as long.
Oh. rare are the thoughts scintillations
The exquisite book doth enfold,
Which Is clasped with the sunshine of heaven
And bound in the skies blue and gold!
The cover Ia daintily studded
With stars, which the nighttime has brought
From the courts of the angels, TO scatter
Their rays on this jewel Of thought.
In rapture read from its pages,
Far out in the depths of the night.
And think of the poem unwritten
Which the pen of the morrow shall write;
Then to sleep and bHssful awaking,
To meet the glad kiss of the sun,
And read from the beautiful pages
The song which the day has begun!

French Insanity.

1t appears from collated statistics that in
sanity is steadily on the increase in France.
From the LIST of January, 1901, TO the 31st
December, 1910, the number of mad under
treatment amounted to 5,416; from January
1911, to December 1920, to s, 1872; from Jan
uary, 1921, to December, 1880, to 10, ia;
and from January, 1881, to December, 1910
to Ia, 1876. SO that between 1901 and 1910
the numbers were almost trebled
The increase during the next ten
years is even more startling. Between 1841
and 1850 the number reached SO, $50. Again
this number increased between 1851 and
1860 to 50,245. Since 1860 the numbers
have steadily increased. In 1851 there were
$3.50 mad POOR; in 1862 the numbers were
6, 437; in 1868 they were $500; in 1864 they
were 6,S77; in 1865 they were 1924; and
lastly, in 1866, they had reached 7,72S 1t
thus appears that in the last year of which
we have an official record there were as
many mad patients under treatment in the
asylumns of the Department of the Seine as
there were In ten years at the opening of
the century

What the Features Indicate.

We are told that the extremes of both
largeness and smallness of statue are not
favorable to the strength of intellect.
Giants and dwarfs are generally deficient
In this respect, and excessive corpulency
or meagreness is seldom associated with
mental activity. Aristotle and Bonaparte,
however, were very short, Charles James
Fox was exceedingly fat, Daniel Webster
both broad and tall, and Lord Nelson liv-
ing skeleton.
4 large head is generally the accompani-
ment of great intellect; but small one
with q comparatively extensive forehead is
quite consistent with mental capacity.
Raphael, Charles XXI, Frederick the
Great, and Lord Brougham were illustra-
tons of the latter fact.
1t is said that any nose which is less
than the height of the forehead is an indi-
cation of the defective intellectual power
The eyes indicate character rather by
color than form. The dark blue are found
most commonly in persons of gentle and
refined character. Light blue and gray in
the rude and energetic. Lavater says:
Hazel eyes are the more usual indications
of mind masculine, vigorous and pro-
found; just as genius, SO called, is almost
always associated with eyes Of yellowish
cast bordering on hazel"
The higher the brows rise the more their
possessor is supposed to be under the in
fiuence of feeling, and the lower the better
controlled by his reason.
A very small eyebrow is an indication of
want Of force of character
A tolerably large mouth is essential to
vigor and energy, and a very small mouth
is indicative of weakness and Incidence.
In manly face, the upper lip should ex-
tend beyond and dominate the lower
Fleshy lips are oftener found associated
with voluptuous, and meagre ones with
passionate nature.
The retreating chin indicates weakness,
the perpendicular strength, and the sharp,
acuteness of mind.

ENGLISH COMPLAINTS. English Pc
pers complain that some of the great man
ufacturing establishments of America keep
agents IN the manufacturing towns of Eng
land to foment strikes and stir up diff
culties among the work-people, in order to
secure the principal and most experienced
hands for shipment. Thus, we are told,
We're stirred up the recent troubles in
Preston, which resulted in the transfer of a
large number of hands to Lowell; and it is
now reported that agents are oper-
ating in the '.Black Country" and
picking out large number of
good workmen for the Pittsburg
iron works in Pennsylvania. We Judge
there is some misstatement about this
matter. We suppose the truth simply to
be that large American manufacturers oc-
casionly sends agents to Great Britain to
engage experienced workmsn; and it is the
wages these agents are able to offer which
cause the difficulties the English papers
suppose to be Systematically planned.

INSURANCE, EEwcoMB o'NE11L.
About the same time an elegant Office
desk, with an imposing array of pigeon
holes was brought to the place with good
deal of ostentation, and care taken to let it
be seen going in. Then came what seem
ed to be remarkably large wardrobe.
which was placed against the wall of the

Newcomb Il O'Neill relapsed into obscure
ty, as no one seems to remember having
seen them come in or go out, or have any
visitors. OF course, no Newcomb & O'Neill
were to be found yesterday.
On examining their Office it was found
that they had carefully screened the glass
partition between them and the room .to
let and had taken other precautions to
keep out prying eyes. The wardrobe was
found to have at either end secret panel
doors, covering openings large enough to
admit man, and In which any amount of
tools could be concealed. Some of their
tools stiIl remained in these places. Their
desk stood directly beneath the hole cut in
the bank above, and had evidently been used
both as scaffold to work on and a means
of reaching the upper floor. They had
stood on this desk and cut their way
through at their leisure. In cutting
through they had to cut out piece of joist
fifteen by three inches in size This thew
cut through with aueers, as well as the
flooring. The hole was evidently com
pleted, all but cutting through the thin
board floor Of the room above, perhaps a
day or two before they effected an entrance:

The CIRCUIT court adjourned on Tuesday,
after having disposed of at least one very i'm

sers on certain notes due the Farmers Bank
OF Virginia. The point involved was that a
COPY of protest had not been regularly served
ON the parties. The Bank, it will be remem.
bered, removed from here, with its effects, in
1862, just before the occupancy of Freder-
icksburg by the Federal troops. The endOr-
sers certain notes put in the plea Of nom
service Of protest and tic jury to whom the
matter was referred, sustained the plea. aud
th2 parties TO some twenty or more Vegetables
were released, leaving tic. Bank an only

Mons ABOUT SHEEp.-Last week VIC pub
lI,hei short paragraph, tending to show the
profits of sheep raising in onr county. We
thought the figures We then gave of the sue
cess OF one farmer. on small scale, were pro-
digious but we now have another. which we
think will successfully challenge competition.
y young farmer near Rippon purchased on
the FIRST day OF October last, flock of twenty
niue ewes, for which he paid sll3. This
Spring the wool from these sheep brought
him S33 and the lambs from the same Sl30
and the flock of sheep he has yet, aud they
are better now than when hc bought them.
Their increase was an unusually prolific one,
rs old farmers nay judge from the following ::
Sixteen of tho ewes had thirty three Lambs,
and ten others had eleven lambs making forty
fur in ali. or this f;rty-Eour, forty were rails
