Relations with Employees.

Personally the late a. T. Stewart was
q very unassuming man. He dressed
plainly and with good taste, and never
wore rings or diamonds. The only cost
" article he carried about was q gold
watch, and this was not fastened to a
chain but to black silk cord. If he
saw one of his clerks displaying much
iewelry, this was considered sufficient
cause by him to establishan inquiry into
the habits of the man, the amount Of his
salary, and his mode Of living. If his
salary and circumstances did not war
rant such outlay Mr.. Stewart would have
q watch sent on his actions, and the re-
suit in many cares proved that the clerk
was dishonest. Many instances could
be recounted in which he discovered dis
honesty in his clerks by the display Of
iewelry on their part. He was generally
lenient with erring employers, aud never
prosecuted them If there were any ex-
tenuating circumstances. His observa-
ton was remarkably keen, and he was
quick to observe the slightest irregulari-
ty in the arrangement of the different
departments of the store, or any sloven-
,liness in the dress of the clerks. It q
clerk, on the other hand, was dressed
too extravagantly Mr.. Stewart often
took occasion to offer q gentle rebuke.
AS an instance of his distaste for out
ward display, it may be mentioned that
he was walking through his retail store
one day when massive gold chain and
locket in the buttonhoie of one of his
clerks attracted bis attention. he step
ped up to him and said: '' Young man,
# I were you I'd button up my coat on
that" and, pointing down to his own
plain black cord, he added ;;" That is
the best I can afford to wear take my
advice, and keep that covered upl"

Former Treatment Of Insanity.

While men believed that madness
meant possession BY q demon, it is not
difficult, perhaps, to account for the
superstitious and brutal treatment shown
to those possessed; but the reader will
be amazed by the details Of the scientific
devices, happily of a past age, planned
for the cure of the unsound. One OF
these was to entice the sufferer to walk
across floor, which, suddenly giving
way, dropped him into abath, 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
of Bethlehem hospital Nondon),
chained to the wall like wild beasts, were
shown to the public on certain days OF
the week at the charge of twopence a
visitor; and here were to be found IL
their cells, crouching on straw, women
with nothing but blanket for clothing.
George Ill, in 1888, was subjected to 9
uselessly severe treatment, being con
stantly tortured with a strait-waistcoat.
and denied the society of his wife and
children. He recovered q, few weeks
after the substitution OF kindness for se-
verify. A Parliamentary committee,
which elected the horrors Of madhouses
in 1916, struck the first blow against
the system of mechanical restraint ot
the insane; but it was not before the
early years OF the present reign that the
old order of things finally yielded te
benevolent treatment.

Gen. Santa Anna In his Old Age.

Santa Anna lives in the city of Mexi-
co, in third-rate house of two stories,
with courts of not more than twenty feet
square, the pavements out of repair, the
whole telling the story of poverty. He
was seated upon a much-worn sofa, at.
tended by smart appearing Mexican OF
middle age, and rose, with some diff
Guilty, in Receiving us. He complained
considerably of his wooden leg, and
also of blindness.
He is an old man of eighty years, very
decrepit, yet in full command OF his fac
ulties; has good head and face, not un-
like the pictures of Humboldt IN old
age, with broad temples and an abrupt,
square nose, and, at one time, good
ewes, He had little to say, but appear
ed pleased OF our visit; and, as we told
him of the four or five general officers
of the Mexican war still living, he listen.
ed with interest, but showed no special
recognition until the name OF Pillow was
mentioned, whom he remembered per-
fectly.
Over the sofa where Santa Anna sat
was the picture of beautiful woman in
her fullness of youth and loveliness.
This was his wife when both led the for
tunes of Mexico. As We passed out the
court our attention was called to the fig.
