MORBID IMPULSE.
The Great Doctor who Does not Believe
In Emotional" Murder,

~ 'IFN' "' "
In nEmOtiOnnIu Murder.
DR.. William A. Hammond has deliv
cred a lecture before the New Yorl
medical society on n topic Of presen'
interest-the morbid impulses which
lead to crime, and which are, in certain
cases, now urged as n palliation for it.
His conclusions are adverse to the Grim
inal
|. A person aware Of the existence Of
m 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. 1t is his duty
to Immediately place himself under re.
s%traint. If he does not, he is morally
and legally in no better position than a
%ruflian who feels an impulse to acquire
other peoples property, and accord
ingly murders the man most conven.
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 motivelesg o%ifense, 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. | say permanent,
because experience shows that this form
Of mental alteration is exceedingly apt
to rccur. Several of the cases | have
cited are illustrations Of crime COM
mittcd after the discharge from contine-
ment, and there are hundreds OF SINH
lar instances on record.
3. Those morbidly constituted indi-
yiduals who commit crimes because it
is pleasant for them to do so, such as
Helen Isgado, Domollard Pomeroy, and
others whose cases | 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 exten
uating force than the pleasure of re-
yen9c, acQuisitiveness, or other pas
5ions. Lord, how | do love thieving y
said a London vagabond off | had all
the riches of the world | would still be
a thief"
l., The fact that a murder has been
committed in order that the perpetra-
tor might secure his own execution is
not a palliating circumstance. Those
who contend that it is-and | am sorry
to find DR.. 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 n 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-
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 / mean one who exhibits
evidences of insanity besides the
morbid impulse, and who would be
considered by competent judges to be
even if no such impulse existed
demands continued sequestration.

Ice Water,


One Of the most fruitful causes o
dyspepsia, our national disease,-is
unquestiouably, traceable to the excess
i've drinking of ice-water. We uso fal
moro ice in this country than is used il
all the world beside. While we are in
clined to boast of this as a luxury, We
forget that, like many other luxuries, il
does "A 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. If 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 a 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 a 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 a bounteous supply of the freez-
ing liquid.
lmmoderato 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 n pint
n day, will, before a great while, crave
half a gallon, and imagine that he can
not do with less.
Meanwhile. his food will have no
chance to digest, and temporary indi.

chronic. His deranged stomach will
affect his head, and the indulgence of a
foolish habit finally result in unhealthy

turbance of his mental and moral fac
The objection is not to water in any
reasonable quantities, but to the ice
that is put into it. Water that is al
to run for a while through pipes,
or drawn from a well, is as cool, ever in
summer, as is consistent with perfect
health. After drinking it for a time the
palate will not ask for ice. 1t is advi-
to vary water with cold tea, coffee,

Sowing Blue Grass Seed.

. 1911 ''''f -
r sir" Fact followed by sensation ant
b laughter.
Sowing Blue Grass Seed.
Mr.. Fassett, mn extensive farmer, il
the Prairie Farmer, gives some uscfn
directions upon this subject. He says
/ The opinions Of farmers differ in re,
r gard to the time that blue grass should
be sown. Some advise sowing it in the
spring; othcrsrccommcnd to SOW tin the
month Of August. My W experience
is, that the best time TO SOW any and all
kinds Of grass.secd is from the middle
Of February to the middle of March in
this latitude; further south it would
probably be better to SOW some earlier
further north, some later. The seed
should be sown before it is done frecz-
ing. The spring freezing and thawinp
Of the ground covers the sccl to the
proper depth to gcrminato-which is
the only way | know Of to get it all
covered so that it will grow. The spring
rains bring the plants to such maturity,
they get such n strong hold Of the
ground before the dry, hot weather Of
summer comes ON. that they are able to
stand it that is where grass seed is
sown without any other crop, which, !
think, is the only way to insure a good
stand.
Onc-half bushcl, or seven pounds of
blue Grass seed is considered to be the
| right quantity to SOW to the acre to
make Il good stand. ! think it much
better TO SOW timothy and red top with
blue grass. Blue grass makes but a
slender growth for the first two on
three years after it is sown, The Ken.
tuckians say that blue grass pastures
continue to improve thirty or forty
years. Timothy does its best right
along thc first few years, and then be,
gins to fail. Rcd-top has more of the
nature Of blue grass, but makes a
stronger growth much sooner, and will
make about as much pasture, but will
wither Foon in cold weather. Like blue
grass, it spreads from the root, making
a perfect sward. The blue grass Will
eventually run it out as well as the
timothy, and take entire possession asst
arrives at maturity.
would recommend to SOW four
quarts Of timothy, six pounds of red
top and foar pounds of blue grass seed
to the mere.
As to seeding o o after timber is
deadoncd, can not speak from eype-
%ricncc, but can see no reason why the
three grasses would not do well.
J know it to be d tirst.rate way to
make pasture on new prairie lands that
have not had the wild nature Killed out
OF them by cultivation sufficient to grow
