The IGNORANCE OF LEGISLATORS.
year or national Legisia-
tnre and some forty State and
Territorial Legislatures, and al
vast number of county and town
boards, are brought face to face
with the most vital social prob
lems. They are called upon to
make great expenditures for the
prevention and cure OF panperism,
for the repression and punish
meat Of crime, for the treatment
of lunatics OF various sorts. for
the care OF idiots of various
grades, for the special treatment
OF inebriates, for the cure OF the
sick in hospitals, for general meas
ures OF prevention, as regards
epidemics, and yet no one will
gainsay my assertion that on no
subject are orr Legislature, and
all our various public bodies, so
utterly blind as on this II we
look. at the result of this as re-
CARDS expenditure, the case is bad
enough. The amount annually
expended in all our States for this
purpose is enormous. The only
approach which we have to the
palaces OF the Old World are in
the various hospitals and prisons
and asylums Of the New. ] can
speak Of this want of knowledge
from personal experience. / can
stand in the confessional on this
subject. 1t has been my lot more
than once TO vote on such appro-
priations in = legislative body.
remember especially one case
where the Legislature Of this
State was called upon to establish
great asylum, ut vast expense
for certain class OF hInatics
The case was very pressing. A
careful report from commission
showed that some provision d
this sort must be made. A bill
was passed, the buildings were
erected, and yet, when all wal
done, we were assured by an ex
pert. who had no interest one way
or the other in the matter, that al
our well-meant beneVolence had
perhaps, resulted in almost a
much evil as good, and that thu
whole institution was = failure Al
regards the immediate purposes
for which it was erected. Tn,
/. simple cause for this was THAT ii
that whole Legislature, in the low
er House, in the upper House, il
the Executive Department, ther,
Was not one person who had eve
given any close attention to sub
jects OF this kind, and we hat
been obliged to trust entirely t
those who could give uS scraps o
information, no matter how crude
But, if the immediate results ar
unfortunate, the remote result
are still more so.--Popular Scienc
Monthly.

CNDER0RoUND LoNDoN.-GreAt
as London is, one only sees half
of it tor the reason that half OF it
is underground. An engineer
being lately ordered to direct the
laying OF an additional pipe in a
leading street of the great metrop-
oils, stated that there was no
place to put it, or to dig in order
to lay it, as the ground was all
occupied. There were sewers,
underground railways, water
mains, gas mains, each with SER
vice pipes, telegraph wires pneu-
matte tubes and police telegraph
wires there already. No wonder
the ground was all occupied.
There were tubs OF stone, iron,
brick, cement, lead, felt and gut
ta-percha. One underground rail
way has thirteen underground
stations. Pneumatic tubes for
conveying packages and mail
matter, extend all over the city.
There are no less than two thous-
and five hundred miles Of drain
pipes, many Of them of a size to
permit boat to sail in them, or
20 enable men To walk upright.
Besides all these things under
ground, there is single cellar
that covers five and half acres.
There are also seven wine vaults
that would extend over twenty
miles il placed in connection.

Most of us, at some time or
other, have experienced a morbid
impulse urging us to do something
We ought not TO do. Sometimes
it is an impulse to laugh when We
are under an obligation TO he Sc
rious--sometimes an inclination
TO blurt out q fact which good
manners requires us to he reticent
about. Very frequently it is the
impulse TO rush into danger which
common sense and our natural
instincts teach us to avoid. Nerv-
Gus persons tell us that in the
presence OF any sudden and un-
looked for peril they can with diff
tieulty resist the temptation to in
cur it, even when they know the
act would be fatal; and they are
deferred from exposing themselves
TO risk by the fear that this nerv.
Gus impulse should overmasteI
them. There can be little doubt
that many 8 so-called suicide has
been only the acting out Of such
nervous impulses; and perhaps
the same may he said of many =
crime.
