MORBID IMPULSE.
The Great Doctor who DOesnOt Believe
i'm Emotional Murder.

IN Emotional - Murder
DIR. William A. Hammond has deliv-
cred a lecture before the New York
medical society on a topic of present
interest-the morbid impulses which
lead to crime, and which are, in certain
cases, now urged as palliation for it.
His conclusions are adverse to the Grim
inal:
1. A person aware of the existence of
an impulse to commit crime, and which
he fears he may not be able to resist,
is bound to do everything in his power
to render the accomplishment of his
propensity impossible. It is lis duty
to Immediately place himself under re-
straint. If he does not, he is morally
and legally in no better position than
rufian who feels an impulse to acquire
other peoples property, and accord
ingly murders the man most conYen-
lent for his purpose.
2. The individual who is clearly
shown to have yielded to a previously
unfelt impulse to commit crime, and
who accordingly perpetrates an other
wise motlveless offense, or one which in
his normal condition would evidently
not have been committed, is too dan
gerous to society to be allowed to go at
large. He ought to be placed under
permanent restraint. I say permanent,
because experience shows that this form
of mental alteration is exceedingly apt
to recur. Several of the cases | have
cited are illustrations of crime COM
mitted after the discharge from confne-
ment, and there are hundreds of SINH
lar instances on record.
8. Those morbidly constituted indi-
viduals who commit crimes because it
is pleasant for them to do so, such as
Helen Isgado, Domollard Pomeroy, and
others whose cases 1 have cited, should
be treated exactly like other offenders
against the laws. The apparent absence
of motive is apparent only. The fact
that the criminal experiences pleasure
from the committal of the act is as
strong motive as any other that can be al
legged, and is entitled to no more extern.
uatiDg force than the pleasure of re-
venge, acquisitiveness, or other pas
sions. Lord, how do love thieving ="
said London vagabond " if I had all
the riches of the world I would still be
thief"
4. The fact that murder has been
committed in order that the perpetra-
not palliating circumstance. Those
who contend that it is-and I am sorry
to find DIR. Maudsley among them
seem to be actuated by the erroneous
idea that suicide is necessarily the act
of an insane person. The desire to be
executed may be evidence of morbid
mind, but not necessarily of an insane
enc, and if we are going to excuse
every crime committed by jaundiced
and hypochondrical and notoriety-
loving people, we might as well close
our courts at once.
5. A morbid impulse to crime expe-
rienced by an insane person-and by an
insane person I mean one who exhibits
other evidences of insanity besides the
morbid impulse, and who would be
considered by competent judges to be
insane, even if no such impulse existed
demands continued sequestration.

The Fading of Poultry.

Mr.. Edward Thomas Brown, Newcas-
tie, England, has published an inter
esting pamphlet on this subject, from
which the following extract is made:
The keeping and feeding of poultry
is generally looked upon by farmees
and those who have plenty of chances
of keeping them, as an expensive hob
by, only to be INDUCED in by those who
can afford to ride it but the fact that
in 1871 we imported from France alone
500, 1872, 720 eggs, (being II in the year
for every man, woman and child in the
country, and several thousand tons of
poultry, together amounting to three
million pounds sterling, proves that the
French make the keeping of poultry
pay. In France an enormous trade is
done in these products. they being a
staple article of food, and it is estimated
at G10,000,000 per year. In fact, in
Paris alone, the trade is reckoned at
Ell 400, 900 per year, and it is said, upon
eggs annually.
The idea that poultry "don't pay -
is, undoubtedly, mistaken one but,
nevertheless, it is generally held. Most
assuredly they will not pay, if the fowls
are allowed to look after themselves,
never taken any care of, and put into
an old tumble-down house. that cannot
be used for any other purpose, with
food, the cheapest rubbish that can be
found, thrown down upon the ground
in any sort of place. But if little
care is taken, if they are properly tended,
fed with a modern quantity of good,
food, provided with plenty of fresh wa
ter, and kept in an ordinarily comforta-
Bile place, they will pay, and well. Last
spring we were told by one o our GUS
toners, who has only one of our small
town yards, that during the previous
year G872) his eggs only cost him one
half penny each all the year round, and
this result can be obtained by all who
take ordinary care of their birds.

kicking Cows.

a lew years ago had considerable
experience with kicking cows, and by
far the best remedy out of quite num-
Der that I have tried was the strap or
surcingle drawn tightly around the COW
Just in front of the hips and close to
the bag. Tighten it up till she does not
attempt to kick. I never knew it to
fail. You can gradually loosen it until
it will be sufficient simply to lay it on
her back. But be cautious and do not
loosen or leave it off until she makes
no effort to kick with it tight or not.
Kick she cannot with the strap tight.
The first COW tried it on was the worst
/ ever saw. With both hind legs tied
together she would kick backward like
a horse and then, in addition, one fore
leg was tied up; and she would stand
upon the other and kick with both hind
legs as soon as an attempt was made to
milk her, till she tumbled down; then
would get up and kick again until tired
ont so the milk was generally left on
the stable floor, and it was decided to
dry her up and beef her as soon as pos
sible, though an extra cow.-COuntry

THE MOUNTAIN-sHApow.

When, down the drowsy Summer-sky,
The sun through western haZes wheels,
Der rocks, and stream, and wood, and town,
The shadow Of the mountain steals;
And, feeling mp with cool, gray hand,
1t quencbes all the golden fires
That grow upon the rambling roofs,
Aud burn upon the village spires.
And on the restless mountain-felds,
That break and mend in every breeze
It creeps-and all grows cold and still,
As when the master soothed the seas;
And meadoW-birds come circling down,
And drop within some grassy nest,
Ere yet the sun has spent " its fires
And fades from out the naEed west.
And, as the shade comes creeping on,
The glooms grow purple in the glens;
AID damp, dull brcathings rise and float
From out the laurels dusky fens;
And on, and on, it comes and steals,
With sOundless, slow, but certain feet,
And gathers in the woods and fields,
And Overwnelms the valley sweet.
A mellow charm is over all;
The rocks upon yon mountains ledge
Have lost their frown, as though some hand
Had gently so0thed each rugged edge.
The fretful pines their harshness lose;
And fields where winds in many keys,
In Earring notes run, through and through,
Are stiiled to geRtle, hazy seas,
i stand within the mountain shade
NV sun is fading down the west
Ny birds have circled to their homes
Ny hills have lost their golden crest.
The shadow wraps the road I've come;
And slowly, slowly, up the spire,
It lifts its solemn, steady hand,
To quench my souls last, feeble fire.
o tender. death-presagiug shaded
The rude and rough Of vanished days,
The bitter wrongs, the vexing hates,

All blind to LIES harsh, jarring scenes,
This soul may go in perfect ease.

which one corr respondent treats the sub
ject in a recent letter: "The earrings
are solitaires, and worth, without the
pendants she sometimes wears, $40, 900 !;
the brace cts studded with diamonds all
around; four necklaces, on top of each
other, the lowest one bearing a magnifi-
cent medallion set with enormous
stones; a diamond col onet, surmounted
with trembling stars, an aigrette, e
velvet neck-ribbon ornamented with
diamond horse shoes all around a
splendid buckle with her monogram,
Fl and S diamond side-combs, and
every one of her fingers loaded with
gems of the priest water. Total value,

tleman to another. NO Minors was

Mariette's discoveries thus far have
thrown less light upon the sojourn of
the Israelites in Egypt than many might
have expected or wished. We are apt
to forget, in the great Importance which
the Biblical narrative possesses for us,
that a small subject race, like the Jews,
could only be accidentally mentioned in
the annals of such proud and power
full people. A few strong probabilities,
however, are worthy of being noticed.
The conjectured period of Joseph's ar
rival in Egypt corresponds with that OF
the Hyksos, or Shepherd Kings, who,
being strangers themselves, would the
more readily confer high authority upon
a stranger. Mos s, almost certainly,
was educated as an Egyptian priest I'M
der the reign of Rameses IL, and the
Pharaoh of the Exodus was the latter S
son, Menephthah, a superb bust of

Ice-Wa alter.

One of the most fruitful causes of
dyspepsia,-our national disease,-ls,
unquestionably, traceable to the excess
i've drinking of ice-water. We use far
more ice in this country than is used IN
all the world beside. While we are in
clined to boast of this as a luxury, we
forget that, like many other luxuries, 1t
does deal of harm. The temperature
of the stomach at which digestion takes
place, is from ninety-eight to one hun;
dred degrees (Fahrenheit). Conse-
quently, the effect of swallowing ice
water, which must for a while reduce
the temperature from thirty to forty de
grees at least, cannot fail to be hurtful,
and if habitually INDUCED in, to insure
the disorder so widely prevalent and so
distressing in character. In cities and
large towns we are perpetually drink
ing ice-water in winter as well as sum-
mer. We drink it before our meals,
with our meals, after our meals, on 60
ing to bed and on getting up. In fact,
there is no hour when we are awake
that we do not drink it. II you ring
the bell at an American hotel, the SER
want who answers it brings you a
pitcher of ice-water, supposing that you
want that anyhow, and that vol must
swallow certain quantity before you
are prepared to make your other wishes
known. If you go to breakfast on a
bitter cold morning, the first thing the
waiter places before you is goblet of
ice-water and the chief energy he dis
plays is in keeping the goblet full to
the rim. Although he may not get you
anything you order, you can depend on
him for bouuteous supply of the freeZ-
ing liquid.
Tmmoderate drinking of any kind is
almost entirely due to habit. This is
particularly true of ice-water, which, by
spontaneous reaction, has the effect of
exciting, rather than allaying thirst.
The more we take of it, the more we
want. The man who begins with a pint
a day, will, before great while, crave
half gallon, and imagine that he can
not do with less.
Meanwhile his food will have no
chance to digest, and temporary indi-
gestion will, in due time, become
chronic. His deranged stomach will
affect his head, and the indulgence of a
foolish habit finally result in unhealthy
action of the brain, and possibly dis
turbance of his mental and moral fac
ulties.
The objection is not to water in any
reasonable quantities, but to the ice
that is put into it. Water that is al
lowed to run for a while through pipes,
or drawn from well, is as cool, even in
summer, as is consistent with perfect
health. After drinking it for time the
palate will not ask for ice. It is advi-
sable to vary water with cold tea, coffee,
milk or lemonade, since the interchange
of these has a tendency TO diminish the
amount of liquid wanted !; and health
generally is better preserved by little
than by large drinking of any kind

The NapIes Auuarium.

In the smaller tanks the delicate "pe-
lagic forms, those perfectly transpar-
ent glass-like animals which swim on
the surface of the sea, are daily renewed
when weather permits and at present
there are some really lovely things of
this kind to be seen here which could
nowhere else be exhibited, since the
Naples aquarium is the only one which
can draw supplies from warm sea-
The Cestum Veneris is one of the most
striking of these transparent organisms,
being a band of perfectly glass-like
consistency nearly yard in length, I'M
dUIating like n snake, and slowly NOV
ing through the water by means of two
rows of large vibrating fringes, which
glisten with all the colors of the rain
bow. Some of these are brought in
nearly every day by the fishermen, and
hundreds of the long chains of trans
parent Salpa, not to speak of Beroes,
as big as lemons. Glass shrimps, in
habiting the transparent little tubs

Leptocephalus, a true vertebrate fish,
of which one at first sees only the black

The house committee on banking and
currency have been for some time Sc
cretly Investigating the source from
which the large amount of fractional
currency, which was first issued and
known as "postcl currency" has been
put in circulation. The committee were
appraised very early in the session,
through the treasury officials, that a
large amount of this currency of the
first issue, unquestionably genuine and
quite fresh and new, was in circulation,
and was being constantly presented for
redemption. The secret service depart
ment of the government has been at
work on the case for long time in con-
nection with the committee, and it is
now fully established that the entire
amount had be n put in circulation by
a very eccentric and wealthy old gen.
tleman, who, when then this first issue
of the fractional currency was made,
deposited a large quantity of it in his
safe and never had paid it out until
very recently. The secretary at first
thought of issuing a circular warning
the public against taking it. 1t was
afterward thought the original plates
had been stolen.
