inundation, The ice in the Delaware
river broke mp here at II o'clock, this
forenoon. A mile below here q lam
took place, and the river is now one
Immense gorge for five miles, the ice
being twenty-five feet high. The dam
has thrown the water back, and
large part of the lower part of the
place is already under water, and long
since deserted by the Inhabitants. The
splendid wire bridge which spans the
Delaware here is doomed. The ioe fills
all the space between it and the river,
and rise of foot will lift it. and tear
it from its anchorage. King street,
Brown street and Pike street, below
the Delaware House, are flooded. The
gas house is partially under water and
the town is in total darkness tonight.
Houses are floating among huge cakes
of ice in lower King street. The rise
of the water in that locality was so
sudden that the escape of several fami-
lies was cut off and they were removed
in boats. The bridge is raised consid-
erably by the press of the ice. The
greatest excitement prevails here and
business is generally suspended. Great
fear is entertained that the great bodies
of ice yet to come down the river will
come before the jam here breaks away,
in which case the damage will be very
great. The water in the river isnearly
to the top of the bank on the flats near
this place, and is still rising rapidly
If the bank is overflowed there the
lower.portion..of the town will be swept
away.
At Narrowsburg, above here, the ice
has not gone out. Below that for sew
eral miles the ice is piled up thirtyfeet
high, and fills the river from bank to
bank. Cochecton, Callicoon, Deposit
and other places are overfowed, and
the damage up the river is immense.
All the flats below Callicoon, on the
Pennsylvania side, are inundated, and
people living along the stream have All
sought places of safety. At Halbert's
Bend there is fearful jam, and the
dam of the Delaware and Hudson
Canal Company and the aqueducts at
Lackawanna are in great danger of de-
struction. - World.

church calendars Christmas eve is
marked, Teapla ecoraanfar (the temples
are adorned). Holly andivy still remain
in England the most esteemed Christ
mas eyergreens, though at the two uni
versities the windows of the college
chapels are decked with laurel. 1t was
en- old English superstition, that on
Christmas eve the oxen were always
found on their knees, as in an attitude
of devotion, and that after the change
from old to new style, they continued
to do this only on the eve of old Christ
mas day. This was derived from a
prevalent medieval notion that an OK
and an ass, which were present at the
nativity, fell on their knees in sup
plant posture. as appears from numer-
ous prints, and from the Latin poem of
Sannazaro, i'm the sixteenth century. Ii
was an ancient tradition, alluded 10 by
Shakespeare, that midnight spirits for
sake the earth and go to their own con-
fines at the growing of the cock. The
Christmas celebrations in England have
lost their primitive boisterous character,

by, and family reunions and evergreen

the various rough merriments which
used to mark the festival The last

rule was in 1927, when he had come to
be denominated "a grand captaine of

Former Treatment OF Insanity

While men believed that madness
meant possession by demon, 1t Is not
difficult, perhaps, to account for the su-
perstitiOus and brutal treatment
shown to those possessed but the rea-

details of the scientific devices, happily
OF a past age, planned for the cure of
the unsOund. One of these was to en-
tice the sufferer to walk across floor,
which suddenly giving way, dropped
him into a bath, where he was half
drowned. Another mode of torture
was to let the patients down a well, in
which the water. made gradually to
rise, frightened them with the pros
pect of an awful death. Within the
memory of men still living, the patients

We have somehow learned To make a
difference between those obligations
which we owe TO one another as men,
and those which we owe to the Govern
ment and to corporations. These ideas
are not whit more prevalent among
ofiice-holders and directors than they
are among voters and stockholders.
Men are not materially changed by be-
ing clothed with office and power. The
radically honest man is just as honest
in office as he is out of it. Corrupt men
are the offspring of n corrupt society.
We all need Strengthening up The
lines of our morality all need to be
drawn tighter. There is not a man
who is willing to smuggle, and to see
customs officers betray their trust while
he does it; willing to receive the results
of the sharp practice of directors of cor
porations in which he has an interest !;
willing to receive the patronage of the
Government in the execution of schemes
not based in absolute necessity; willing
to take an exorbitant price for piece of
property sold to the Government or to a
corporation, who is iit to be trusted
with office. When we have said this,
we have given the explanation of all our
public and corporate corruption, and
shown why it is so difficult to get any
great trust managed honestly. All this
official corruption is based on popular
corruption-loose ideas of honesty as
they are held by the popular mind: and
we can hope for no reform until we are
beer based As people in the everlast-
ing principles of equity and right-do-
ing. If we would have the stream

What is the peculiar spell and fascina-
ton, il is asked with amazement, which
old china exercises upon many persons
who are by no means deficient either in
intelligence or common sense? At the
present time there seems TO be a perfect
mania for collecting china which has
any stamp ofantiquity upon it; and not
only fashionable society, but even the
sober good sense of the middle classes
appear to have caught the Infection; in
fact the prices given at auction rooms
for any rare specimens are really so
astounding and unprecedented, that out
sidcrs stand with uplifted hand and eye
brows of amazement, while $4,000 for
example is being given for couple Of
vases, which are to be put away i'm the
collectors cabinet, and shrouded from
the common gaze thencefortb, like the
beauties of Oriental harem. This is, of
course, an extremely ''fancy" price
for old china; but it was given last year
for pair of Sevres vases at Christie's.
Two noblemen-or their agents rather
were bidding against each other, and
the price was run up to $4,000, which
in twenty-eight years, it must be re-
membered, at compound interest, is
equivalent to GA 900. 1t will be curious
to trace the history of these vases in the
year of grace 1902, if they are in ex-
istence then. A story is current that
one of the persons to whom they formerly
belonged was completely thrown of his
balance by the unprecedented price
given for them. He was heard exclaim-
ing, Gam alive, or am deads Pinch

Thirst nf Sea.

Thirst on land is bad enough, but
thirst at sea, with water everywhere,
but not drop to drink, it i ten times
worse. OF the agony which il occasions
we may form some conception when we
read, as in the case of late shipwreck,
of the survivors of a boats crew greedily
drinking the blood of their dead COM
rahes. No one knows what his evil for
tune may one day bring him 10 endure.
For she benefit of the reader. therefore,
we make a note of the following ques-
ton put by the board OF trade examiners
to the candidates for certificates of COM
petencv a mates in fhe English mer-
chant service: ''What would you do in
order To ,llay thirst. with nothing but
sea water at hand?" The answer Il,
keep the clothes, especially the shirt,
soaked with sea water" Drinking salt
water to allay thirst drives the sufferer
mad: but an external application of IL
gives relief, il it does not satisfy the de-
mands of craving nature. 1t is pity
that this simple yet tr1ely scientific
remedy is known 10 but few of those
who tempt the treacherous main.

worship Of the Dead.

Facts already named show how sacri-
fees to the man recently dead pass into
sacrifices to his preserved body. We
have seen that 10 the corpse of Tahi-
tian chief daily offerings were made on
an altar by priest; and the ancient
Central Americans performed kindred
rites before bodies dried by artificial
heat. That, along with developed
system of embalming, this grew into
mummy-worship, Peruvians and Egyp-
tians have furnished proof. Here the
thing 10 be observed is that, while be-
lieving the ghost of the dead man to
have gone away, these peoples had con-
fused notions, either that it was present
in the mummy, or that the mummy was
itself conscious. Amongth the Egyptians,
this was clearly implied by the practice
of sometimes placing their embalmed
dead at table. The Peruvians, who by
a parallel custom betrayed like belief,
also betrayed it in other ways. BY some
of them the dried corpse of a parent was
carried round the fields that he might
see tine state of the crops. How the an
cestor, thus recognized as present, was
also recognized as exercising authority,
we see i'm this story given by Santa Cruz.
When his second sister refused to marry
him, "Huayna Capac went with presents
and offerings to the body of his father,
praying him to give her for his wife,
but the dead body gave no answer,
while fearful signs appeared in the
heavens"
The primitive idea that any property
characterizing an aggregate inheres in
all parts of it, implies corOllary from
this belief. The soul, present in the
body of the dead man preserved entire,
is also present i'm preserved parts of his
body. Hence the faith in relics. Ellis
tells us that, in the Sandwich Islands,
bones of the legs, arms, and sometimes
the skulls, of kings and principal chiefs,
are carried about by their descendants,
under the belief that the spirits exercise
guardianship over them. The Crees
carry bones and hair of dead persons
about for three years. The Caribs, and
several Guiana tribes, have their cleaned
bones "distributed among the relatives
after DEATH" The Tasmanians show
"anxiety to possess themselves of a bone
from the skull or the arms of their de-
ceased relatives" The Andamanese
"widows may be seen with the skulls
of their deceased partners suspended
from their necks." = Popular Scjene,

The Epicurean philosophers, as reli-
gion waned, threw themselves into the
study of natural phenomena. They be-
lieved that as man became acquainted
with the physical laws of the universe,
superstition would disappear, and a
code of practical rules could be created
on theories of expediency. Science
might plume itself on its splendid dis
coyeries but human nature was stronger
than science, and in spite of it, and by
the side of it, witchcraft, magic, necrO-
nancy, with their attendant abomina-
tions, developed out of the putrescent
corpse of Paganism, Lucretius would
not have selected the sacrifice of Iphi-
gepia as an illustration of the atrocities
which could be provoked by religion,
unless the spirit which had presided at
Aulis had been still alive and active.
Those who would draw the horoscope
of the spiritual future of mankind from
the progress OF knowledge will md
their forecasts defeated by forces which
they disdain to recognise. Far as they
may extend the confines of discovery,
the shoreless infinite of the unknown
will still extend beyond them, and the
hopes and fears of what may lie in that
impenetrable region must ever have an
influence stronger than reason on the
spiritual convictions of humanity. Lu.
cretius boasted that he had trampled
religion under his feet, and that natural
philosophy would sit henceforth tri.
umphant ON the throne from which God
had been deposed. The especial aspect
of religion which had been chosen te
illustrate its hatefulness was on the eve
of becoming the soul Of a creed which
was to remodel human society and oper
a new era. The doctrine of human
sacrifice, which had exerted so strang'
and growing a fascination, was to los
its horrors while retaining its ennoblins

POetica1 Padders.

The world has witnessed many
strange epidemics. Some have been
disorders of the mind, some have af-
fected only the body. SneeZing. dane
ing, and fasting have been diseases as
vIrulent and as infectious as smallpox
or scarlatina. Those who are learned
i'm such matters observe how sometimes
without any apparent cause, one NAL
ady breaks out with peculiar force, and
sometimes another. Now it is cholera,
now it is suicidal mania. At one con-
juncture influenza, at another, infanti-
eide, regulates the increase of the pop
ulation. Sometimes milder symptoms
prevail. Influenza becomes a cold in
the head. Murder is mitigated into
wife-beating, and the man who at one
period would give way to fits of nncon-
trollable ferocity at another sighs forth
his soul in doggerel. We appear to be
passing through visitation of the
scribbling mania. 1t has frequently at
tackled the world before. Swift and
Pope noticed its prevalence in their
day. A.violent form of the complaint
is mentioned by the classic poets. But
never, probably, in the worlds history
has it assumed such alarming proper
tions as at present. Hecker's German
method would be needed to do it full
justice. A man who recently commit
ted murder and has been reprieved was
pronounced to have suffered from the
''madness of conceits;,' and it may be
worth while to point to this melan-
choly example as showing what, if not
nipped i'm the bud, even the most innO-
cent of valentine writers may eventu-
ally reach. The man who would make
a pun would, as everybody has heard
on high authority, pick a pocket; and
the man who once discovers the affini-
ties existing between love and dove,
rove and above, may, If not treated
with sufficient promptitude, finally owe
his forfeited life to the turning Of a
medical phrase. The editors of maga-
zines incur a serious responsibility
when they admit such poetry as that
which now abounds in their pages.
They minister encouragement to minds
diseased, A large number of other
wise estimable people seem to labor un-
der the necessity of putting their
thoughts into metre. Perhaps we
shoald not say their thoughts. Thoughts
are what their compositions most want.
They put nonsense into rhyme, If they
can, or else into blank verse. and, not
content with this fatal step, further in
sist on rushing into print. 1t is a fact
that many people who cannot write in
telligible prose are able to make verse,
intelligible or not, and their mania for
seeing it in type is such, that long and
repeated applications Of cooling SEN
tences like "Declined with thanks"
will not appease the fever in their
blood od.-Sdfuridy Rerie,c.
