INSANE FANCIRS.

A large number Of the inmates OF
the State Insane Asylum fancy them
selves to be someone else. There are
any number of kings, queens and en-
perors, a General Grant, and other
notabilities. Many poor creature is
happy in his or her del1sion. andgTave-
ly insists on its truth. The delusion
Of patients that they are God or the
Savior Is very common. Not long
ago DR.. Gray had all the three persons
of the Trinity under his care, and
then came another god. However,
as the newcomer was a little man,
and the other contestant for divine
supremacy a very big man, the little
one quickly discovered that he was
not God, but the Attorney General
of the United States. One curious CO.
incidence in the way Of delusiOn has
occurred since DIR. Gray has been Su-
perintendent. A female patient had
Just arrived and was seated in the Of
fiee, when a tall young man was
brought in by his father. The poor
lad at once objected to being confined
in the Asylum, saying that she was
Jesus Christ, and had the world to
save" The woman sprang up excit-
edly, and throwing her arms open,
exclaimed. "COme to my arms, my
son, l am the Virgin Mary" The
young man at once threw himself on
the bosom of the woman, and they
heartily and tenderly embraced one
another, to the horror of the lads
father.-N. y. Times.

FACTS IN HUMAN LIFE.

There are about S,0e4 languages
spoken in the world, and its inhabi-
tants profess more than 200 different
religions. The number of men is
about equal to the number of women.
The average of human life Is about
thirty three years. One-quarter die
previous to the age of seventeen, and
those who pass this age enjoy a fell
city refused to one-half of the human
species. To every 1000 persons only
one reaches one hundred years OF life;
to every one hundred, emily six reach
the age of sixty-ive; and not more
than one in five hundred lives TO eigh-
ty years of age. There are on earth
1000, ,OO0, 900 Inhabitants, and of these
81 $50, 900 die every year, 81, 400 every
day, 8, 900 every hour, and sixty every
minute, or one every second. The
married are longer lived than the sim
gle, and above all these who observe
a sober and industrious conduct. Tall
men live longer than short ones.-
Women have more chances Of life In
their favor previous to their being
fifty years of age than men have, but
fewer afterwards. The number Of
marriages are more frequent after the
equinoxes, that is, during the months
of June and December. Those born
in the spring are generally more rO-
bust than others. Births and deaths
are more frequent by night than by
day. The number of men capable Of
bearing arms is calculated at one
fourth Of the population.

A CoM.ardIr sensation.

A COW was the cause of most re-
markable instance of devastation q
few nights since. Breaking into the
yard of Mr., Lambert's dwelling, and
putting her head into an empty barrel
in an exploring tour for any contents
it might have, she was unable to ex-
tricate herself. and soon became thor
oughly frightened, and began to rush
wildly around. In this condition
she forced her way into the wOOdshed
and thence into the kitchen and
and thence into the dining-room Of
the house, becoming all the while
more furious. From this room she
made her way through the parlor,
throwing down and tramping under
foot everything that came in her way.
Mrs. Lambert aroused her husband,
who arose, and went for help. The
COW next rushed into the bedroom
where Mrs. Lambert, with a little
baby and one child occupied bed,
and another little child was in crib
in front Of it. The enraged animal
mounted the bed, but help arrived,
and not an instant too soon. The
window was raised from the outside.
and Mr.. Mckenzie attempted to en-
ter, when the barrel gave him blow
which knocked him back against the
fence. The children were secured
and passed through the window and
Mrs. Lambert soon followed. The
door Of the bedroom was then closed,
and the COW was left to herself. At
lenght she became quiet, and the bar
rel fell from her head; the doors were
opened and she walked out. The fur
niture which was very nice is fearful
ly demoralized. The plasteriug was
Knocked from the walls, and the pam
els Of the doors broken Out.-DetrOh

Facts About SmaiI-POx.

The suecinct facts in reference to
this terrible disease which have been
Indisdutably established by careful
observations of scientific men at home
and abroad:
/. That infants should be yaecina-
ted in a month after birth.
2. That vaccination should be re-
peated at the age Of fourteen years.
8. That the older persons grow af-
ter that the less danger there is Of an
attack of smallpox or variOloid,
which is smallpox modified by previ-
Gus vaccination, and that after fifty,
there no danger Of an attack.
4. Still, If there Is any danger Of un-
usual exposure to the disease. or If it
prevails largely in q community, it is
safer to be Yaccinated again,
5. Nurses in smallpox hospitals
who are reVRccinated are almost
wholly exempt, while other nurses
who are careless of revaceinRtion,
have varioloid in cases ten times more
numerous.
6. That the further the remove OF
the vaccine matter from what WIS Ia
ken from the COW, the more neeessa-
~ Is IcNdCCluANAOA Aa1N - N@~NSAL
matter loses some Of its power In
every person it pasees through hence
If city practitioners should take all
their matter from the cow, direct,
every ten years, the community would
be greatly safer.
Z, No authenticated case has yet
occurred where any disease has been
communicated through vaccine mat
ter. other than modified smallpox.
This statement should be fixed upon
the memory Of the intelligent reader,
as bare assertions to the contrary are
recklessly made by certain class Of
uneducated persons, who write on
matters pertaining to health and dis
ease.
8. 1t is q very rare occurrence that
any person who has been once well
Vaccinated and was in good health at
the time, suffers from variOloid.
Those who have vAliOlOid after hav-
ng been vaccinated once suffer because
it did not take well, or some other
disease was in the system at the time,
or the matter was at too great re-
move from the original source, the
COW.

How Red Hot Iron may be Handled.

Mons. /. Fontelle. President de Ia
SOciete de Sciences PhySiqIteS ct
CheBliques de Paris, etc., has left the
following on record:
About the year 1900 one LiOnette,
a Spaniard, astonished not only the
ignorant, but chemists and other men
of science in France, Germany, Italy
and England, by the impunity with
which he handled red hot iron and
molten lead, drank boiling oil, and
performed other feats equally miraeu-
lOus. While he was st Naples he
attracted the notice of Professor Sc
menti, who narrowly watched all his
operations and endeavored to discover
his secret. He observed, in the first
place, that whenever Lionette applied
a piece of red hot iron to his hair
dense fumes Immediately rose from
it, and the same occurred when he
touched his foot with iron. He also
saw him place a rod of iron, nearly red
hot, between his teeth without burn
ing himself, drink the third Of a
tablespoonful of burning oil, and take
up molten lead with his fingers, place
it on his tongue without apparent
Inconvenience. Sementi's efforts, after
performing several experiments upon
himself, were finally crowned with
success. He found that by friction
with sulphuric acid, diluted with
water, the skin might be made in
sensible to the action Of the heat of
red hot iron; a solution Of alum,
evapOrated until it became spongy,
appeared to be more effectual in these
frietiOns. After having rubbed the
parts which were thus rendered, in
some degree, ,ineombustible, with hard
soap, he discovered on the application
of hot iron that their insensibility
was increased. He then determined on
again rubbing the parts with soft soap,
and after this found that the hot iron
not only oceasiOned no pain, but that
it actually did not burn the hair.
Being thus far satisfied, the professor
applied hard soap to his tongue until
it became insensible to the heat of the
iron; and after having placed an
ointment composed of soap mixed
with a solution of alum upon it, boil
ing oil did not burn it; while the oil
remained on the tongue a slight
kissing was heard, similar to that OF
hot iron when thrust into water the
oil soon cooled, and might then be
swallowed without dGnger. Several
scientific men have since successfully
repeated the experiments of Professor
Sementi."

THE TERRIBLE COLD.

st. LOUIS, Dec. IA gentleman
who reached Kansas City on Saturday
last, says that on the Sunday previous
a terrible affair occurred in Saline
County, Neb. a party of immigrants
with their families, were passing
through the country westward, when,
the cold constantly increasing, they
concluded to camp and lighta fire.
They were on piece Of high prairie,
and several miles from any house, but
some miles from them was q piece Of
timber. After unhitching their teams
the men started for this timber to
procure fuel. Not returning for sew
eral hours, the women left their chill
dren and started to hunt them. This
is all that is known, save that the next
day the bodies of seventeen persons
who had perished from the intense
cold were found. The children who
were left in the wagons were the only
survivors of the party.

Prurient Taste and Journalism.
From The n Y Trfbunel.

The truth is, it is high time that
the newspapers who control journal
ism should make a stand against the
demand of public appetite which
must have its new and highly season.
ed dish of adultery and murder served
up each morning at the breakfast
table. Widely-eirculated and sO-ealled
respectable journals have ceased to be
mirrors of the worlds great move
ments in politics and morals, and
have become mere eonduits for per-
sonal gossip and scandal. We are
charitable enough to believe that this
is done, not out Of any latent vulgarity
in the editors, but simply because it
lays. 1t does pay. The lady Orgentle-
man who would shrink with horror
from peeping in their neighbours
keyhole or reading his private letters,
are delighted that when through the
newspaper, as through a spyglass,
they can feast on all the secrets Of
some individual life, and the Mastier
the better. If he be a Prince or Grand
Duke, they catch with eagerness every
morsel of Information which Jenkins
can worm out of his valet or barber
bat their enthusiasm becomes bound
less if he be bigamist or murderer,
and they are not content unless every
detail be laid before them, and from
first to last they can see him at his
work.
We have faith enough in the innate
purity of American men to believe
that this appetite is but a transient
feature of the time, due more to love
of excitement than to uneleanliness.
1t will not be long before such readers
as demand this kind Of food must 90
for it to other sources than leading
journals, who will see the inexpedi-
eney and moral wrong Of forcing it
upon innocent youth, or upon the
mass Of educated people whose cleaner
taste and higher level Of thought
cause them to reject it with nausea.

view for October fully EQUALS any Of
the other numbers Of tie valuable
series OF periodicals. which that house
has so long been engaged in supplying

the most interesting and important
events of the day in a comprehensive
manner, nearly approaching historical
completeness; and, taking this closing

With the January number the
GALAXY begins its thirteenth vol
ume. The publishers arrangements
for 1872 are very complete, and
assure the readers Of the magazine q
succession of numbers of remarkable
interest.
The papers by conspicuous public
men, on national topics OfimpOrtanee,
which have hitherto distinguished the
GALAXY among American magazines,
will be continued, and will embrace
contributions from the most 'pTcmi-
nent of our living statesmen on qGes-
tions Of national interest.
The serial stories of the GALAXY
have always commanded the widest
attention. Those for the year 1872
will be by writers who have now
powerful hold on American readers.
The GALAXY serials have been by such
writer's as Charles Reade, Anthony
TrollOpe, Justin Mccarthy, Mrs.
Annie Edwards, and S. W. De Forest.
During the year 1872 General G.. A.
Custer, the dashing eavalryman, will
contribute a series of articles under
the title of " My Life on the Plains"
the first of which appears in the
January number.
An ex-Shakeress begins in the
January number the story Of her
" Fifteen Years Among the Shakers
"a narrative that will throw much
light on the interior life Of that strange
community.
The Scientific Miscellany" Of the
GALAXY has proved so generally pOpu-
L. 1,e I1re1ravu 70 N-r
1t more deserving Of the attention of
intelligent readers. The department
is prepared by q distinguished seien-
tist, whose relations with the leading
scientific men of England. and Europe
generally, are such as to enable the
GALAXY to keep abreast of the latest
facts
Mr.. Edward Crapsey, whose paners
entitled The Neither Side of New
York" in the last two volumes of the
GALAXY, enjoyed so much favor, will
contribute further articles descriptive
Of criminal and low life in the great
cities. Mr.. Crapsey writes from per-
sonal observation, and with a style of
singular simplicity and elearness.
The sketches of prominent living
public characters by Justin Mccarthy,
will be continued.
One of the most widely-knOwn and
popular American humorists will
begin early in the year a series Of
articles original in form and treat
meDt-
In the department of literary eriti-
eism the GALAXY will have the assis-
tance of some of the elearest aud
brightest intellects in the country.
The GALAXY gives great care to the
selection of fshort stories from the large
offered its editor, and makes
them a noticeable feature of each
number of the magazine.
The aim of the GALAXY is, in fine,
to present to the intelligent public,
reading matter that shall always be
readable but never trivial to studi-
0usly avoid literary eonventiOnalism
and commonplace; to discuss as far
Is possible subjects of current interest;
10 satisfy q wide range of tastes, and
10 maintain a high literary and
standard without falling
