rassed by the attempts of his mother to
wrest the sceptre from his hands that his
brain probably became disordered, and he
was metamorphosed into a tyrant. He
poisoned his own brother at feast to
which he had invited h m. His mother,
Aggrippina, he murdered In her own bed.
He relentlessly prosecuted the Christians
on the plea that they had set fire to Rome.
He caused to be executed Lucan, the
poet, and Seneca the philosopher, and
kicked his own wife to death. Nor was
his insanity manifested Ly acts of
cruelty alone. He had silly rage for
music, and in his morbid ambition to be
thought the greatest singer of the world,
he appeared on the stage in the character
of an operatic performer. Donitlah,
Heliogabalus, and possibly some of the
tyrants of Rome, must have been of un-
sound mind Domitian, like Caligula and
Nero, began to reign with generosity; and
under the pressures and worryings of
government he developed into monster
Heliogabalus made his horse consul, APP
pointed senate of women, forced the
Romans to worship black stone, and
prepared golden swords and daggers, and
cords of silk and gold, in order to put an
end to his own life Wiener he saw fit. All
these were the freaks of madman. AL
exander the Great behaved like 1unatic
in the latter days of his reign, and the
supposition is plausible, that il he had
survived few years longer he might
have become most implacable and CO.
PRECIOUS tyrant. From being very alb
stemious he gave himself up to de-
bauchery. His lust for power became
disease, and he strove for gigan-
tic impossibilities. Robespierre and
some of the other leaders In the French
revolution were probably made more or
less insane by the exciting events in
which they took part 1t is certain that
Robespierre was naturally kind-hearted
and considerate, for he began life by en-
deavoring to procure the abolition of cap
ital punishment.
Louis XI of France was insane both in
his despotic cruelty and in his caprices.
He shut up his mobiles in cages or hung
them on the trees of the forest. He lived
in constant fear of death, kept in seclu-
sion IN his castle, was on intimate terms
with his hangman, amused himself by
watching battles between rats and cats,
drank the blood of young children, and
tried various abominable compounds in
order to lengthen his life. Jeffreys,
the notorious English Judge, was araving
maniac, and that he was allowed to
preside at the circuits is u severer COM
ment on the scientific ignorance than on
the political cruelty of the age.-Dlt5IiR

THE SUPREME QUESTION. Health is
the most important of earthly blessings,
and therefore the nervous anxiety of the
sick to ascertain the relative merits of the
various medicines in use is not surprising.
Within the last two years many thousands
of invalids have abandoned the prepara-
tions of the pharmacopolist for the rem
edy introduced by DR.. Walker, of Califor-
MIA, under the somewhat eccentric name
of VINEGAR BITTERs. That this new
Vegetable medicine is winning golden
opinions of all sorts of people" is beyond
a doubt. The accounts we hear of its ex-
traordinary effects in cases of chronic
dyspepsia, rheumatism, liver complaints,
malarious fevers, lnervous prostrations,
and many other distressing diseases, GER
tainly justify the popularity which it has
everywhere acquired.
DIR. Walker claims for his specific u
remedial power over all disorders that do
not involve an irreparable destruction of
bone and fibre and results, so far, appear
to have justified the claim. In this age of
wonders, we are not disposed to deny the
possibility of any phenomena not directly
at variance with the laws of nature, and
as it is held by many psychologists that
all maladies proceed from the same gen
eric cause, we see no reason for the in
credulity W Il which some people regard
the idea of Universal Medicine. Dr..
Walkers preparation seems destined to be
universally approved.

Some OF the Famous Lunaties Of His
tory.

MUCH of the tyranny and despotism of
the world have been the result of cerebral
disease, and, if justice had been done, not
few of the rulers of history would have
been confined in asylums for the insane.
Caligula, the beastly Roman Emperor,
was certainly lunatic. His accession
TO the throne was greeted with Joy by the
Roman people, and he afterward became
so popular by the generous and concilia-
tory acts of his reign, that when he was
attacked with sickness, sacrifices were
offered in the temples for his recovery
His brain undoubtedly became diseased
during his sickness, for from that time he
became a changed man. The remaining
four years of his reign were disgraced by
some of the most unnatural and capri
cious tyranny recorded in history. He
put to death a large number of his SEN
ators. Every ten days he delivered
human victims to be devoured by wild
beasts, and loosely termed this horrid
act "clearing his account" He caused
divine honors TO be paid to himself, in a
temple erected expressly for that pur.
pose, and under the superintendance of
priests of his own appointment He
invited his favorite horse, Incitatus, to
dine at the royal table, where he was fed

eled goblets, and but for his premature
DEATH this animal would have been raised
to the consulship. In more enlightened
and liberal age, Caligula would have been
sent to an insane retreat. The Romans
endured his cruelty for four years, and
then put him to death by well-planned
and successful conspiracy The career
of Nero was somewhat like that of Cal

years of his reign he ruled with clemency

Origin of "Cadet Gray"

In the course Of a conversation with
the late General Scott, in the library of
the Military Academy at West Point, in
the summer of 1862, the veteran gave to
the writer the following account of the
origin of "cadet gray" as the cloth worn
by the cadets is called: While stationed
at Buffalo in the summer of 1914, General
Scott wrote to the Quartermaster for a
supply of new clothing for the regulars.
Word soon came back that blue cloth,
such as was worn in the army, could not be
obtained, owing to the stringency of the
blockade and the embargo, and the lack
of manufactures in the country; but that
there was sufficient quantity of gray
cloth NOW known as cadet gray") in
Philadelphia. Scott ordered it to be
made up for his soldiers, and in these
new gray suits they marched down the
Niagara River, on the Canada side, in the
direction of Chippewa. 1t was just before
the battle known by that name, which oc-
CURED early in July. General Rial, the
British commander, looked upon them
with contempt when preparing for battle
on the morning of the 9TH, for the Mar,
quis of Tweeddale, who, with the British
advance, had skirmished with them all
the day before, had reported that they
were only Buffalo militia" and account
ed for their fighting so well and driving
him to his intrenchments north of the
Chippewa River by the fact that it was
the anniversary of American indepen-
dence that stimulated them. On account
of the victory won at Chippewa on that
day, chiefly by these soldiers in gray, and
in honor of Scott and his troops, that
style of cloth was adopted at the Military
Academy at West Point as the uniform
of the cadets.-BeRsoa j. L0sStng, IN Serb

Education OF the Hand.

People, with very few unfortunate
exceptions, have each two hands. We
should not mention this fact, were it
not that in the education of youth, only
one seems to be generally considered.
Children are told to hold their knives in
their right hand when cutting their food,
and when this necessary operation is COM
pleted, lay it down and use their forks
while eating, still employing the right
hand. The only further instruction they
receive in regard to the left hand, is to
keep it clean in common with the right
hand, and not to get into the habit of
thrusting it into their pockets. They are
taught that whenever one hand only is
required, the preference is to be given to
the right. Thus the left hand is, with
the large majority of people, compara-
lively useless member, employed only TO
supplement the other in all manual opera
tions.
Without pausing to inquire into the
origin of the senseless custom, it is sufii-
cient for our purpose to say that it has no
foundation in the anatomy of the hand,
or in any natural popularity of the mind.
AS well might we teach children to hop
about on the right foot, to keep the left
foot still, to keep the left eye closed and
stop the left ear with cotton, as to teach
them to magnify the value of the right
hand at the expense of the left, Nor, in
renouncing this absurdity, would it be
necessary to lay aside social convention.
alities. The fork may be held in the
right hand while eating, and the knife
may take its place in cutting food. These
are small matters, observed only for con
ventional reasons What excuse can there
be for neglecting the early and careful in
struction of both hardsY
We are not speaking of an impractical.
BILE thing when we say 1t is possible to
rear children so that whatever one hand
can do the other may do equally as we'll.
We know this has been accomplished in
! many notable instances where the disabil.

Wouldn't Boil Soft.

CHARLESTON, Mass, like every other
town, is full Of "reminiscences of past
events. 1t has its curious characters,
who have now nearly all passed away.
A story is related that about century
ago party of English gentry, on their
way from Boston to New Haven, were
compelled to remain there over night, as
the only place where man and beast were
accommodated. AS many of the luxuries
of life, such as coffee and tea, were al
most unknown to the inhabitants, our
travellers carried a supply of these things
with them. Coffee and tea were given to
the landlady that she might prepare them
for breakfast 1t was the first time she
had seen these articles, and of course
knew nothing about their preparation.
Not wishing to be considered verdant,
she resolved to try. When the travellers
called for their tea and coffee she came
and told them.
"Gentlemen, the yarbs are done, but
the beans won't boil soft. F"

spite of all obstacles arising from bad
habits acquired in childhood. We have
seen surgeons transfer an instrument
from one hand TO the other during an
operation, whenever convenience re-

We have seen craftsmen using both hands
