peared before magistrate and gave the
following account of himself MY name

come to ask you to he good enough to put
me in some asylum until can overcome
d dangerous mOnomania which possesses
me. am not mad, but am simply seized
with an irresistible desire to strange a
child. During the long nights, as | lay
sleeplessly in the doTuHtory of our col
lege, listening to the breathing Of the
scholars contlded to my care, have felt
the most extraordinary sensations. Often
have got up and gone toward the bed of
one Of the boys, with the tull intention of
strangliDg him to death; but at the
moment when | was about to seize him by
the neck, | have succeeded, by appealing
to my reason and all the resources of my
nature, in avoiding the committal Of
crime. | happily managed to ward off
the dreadful impulse until vacation came.
But o-day feel that | can no longer re-
sjst. Even in coming here to you care
fully avoided meeting any child; for, had
I done so, must have killed it" At this
moment boy of IA years happened to be
brought before the magistrate to answer
some charge against him. At the sight of
the boy mad glare seemed to dart from
the eyes Of the monomaniac, as he rushed
forward to seize him, and was only
prevented by the officers of the law.
The magistrate Immediately sent the
unfortunate man 70 a lunatic asylum.

Wine a Poor Beverage.

in all our common articles of food the
elements Of nutrition and respiration are
SO nicely balanced in their proportions
that, for the diet Of a healthy man, there
is no necessity for adding an extra guam
tity either to the one class or the other:
or, in other words, the supply of nutrition
and Of animal heat is 50 admirably equal
lied in the composition Of common food
that any material arrangement OF the pro.
portions which it affords is attended with
corresponding arrangement of the vital
functions. 1t is obvious, therefore, that
If we add portion of alcohol to the food
taken into the stomach, the elements of
respiration are increased and the animal
heat augmented in proporjionate degree.
No part of the alcohol can go to form the
tissues of the body, or to rcnuvate and
sustain them, as it is destitute of nitro
gen, and not an element of nutrition. 1t
can only serve as an element of respira-
ton, to be burned in the lungs of man,
and to add to the amount of his animal
heat. The result is that, as th3 quantity
of alcohol is increased from habit, an un-
natural eNhllaration is produced, leading
10 an oycrtasking of the muscular and
nervous systems, and to premature decay
in The manhood of the victim. TO use a
familiar phrase, he has 'lived too fast. y
Let us gain a clearer view of this point
by contrast. We know that an insufficient
supply Of food tends to produce paleness
Of the check, because both the animal
heat and the nutrition are less than are
demanded to keep up the healthtul con
dition of the system. On the other
hand, where age has not indurated the

| have sometimes heard the body com
pared to q steam engine, and though the
analogy is not perfect there are many
points Of resemblance The food answers
TO the fuel, the nerve power to the steam
which moves the machinery. You may
clog your engine with too much fuel as the
body with too much food You may use
TOO little and get up such poor heal of
steam as to do little work, You may clog
the whole, as the boilers Of some Of our
Mississippi steamboats,, with dirty water,
when they have to send men in to scrapc
OIL the mud and incrustatious. You may
let the ashes gather and fill up the CRATE
and shut up the draft, and choke the fire.
For the body, as for the steam engine,
YOU want good fuel, pure water, brisk
fires clear CRATES, clean boilers and IA
rapid cleaning oil of all the refuse mat
ter
The fuller analogy might be with a
steam engine that is used 10 propei sew
erat pieces OF machinery, but never all at
once. IL may not be egualto that, and so
they take il in turn. The nerve power
does the work of the body, propels our
legs moves our arms--0Ur tongues; works
the brain, digcsts the food--for it is turn
ed on to the stomach when food is put
into it, and therefore can't As we'll be
spared toE brain, or hands, or feet Hence
the advantage of little rest after full
meal 1t Is not Ia2iness, it is wisdom.
Men see X for their horses, and no man
who is wise Will drive or ride horse
hard, directly after feeding him. But
they sometimes utterly disregard the rule
for themselves.

worm and the ant The worm was one

eighths of an inch; and the ant was one.
quartero Of an inch long, and belonged to
the common brown species. The total

eleven feet, and one ant performed the
