People Who Go Crazy.

To what social class do the great
mass of our lunatics belong, and to
what grade of society does the striking
apparent increase of the insane point?
The large majority of lunasics under
legal restraint undoubtedly belong to
the pauper population. On the 1st of
January, 1877, of the total number of
patients in asylums and elsewhere Gin
round numbers 66,6Q0), about $4,000
We're paupers, and only 1900 private
patients. These figures, however, fail
to convey correct statement of the
relative amount of insanity existing
among the class of the originally poor
and uneducated masses and the class
above them, because in considerable
number of instances members of the
middle and still higher classes have be-
come paupers. Again, the wealthy in
sane remain very frequently at home,
and do not appear in the official re-
turns. We believe this class to be very
large. Probably we get a glimpse of it
from the census of 1871, which con-
tanned $4,000 lunatics, idiots and i'm
beetles (and we have good reasons for
knowing that this return was very far
short of the truth), yet it exceeded the
number given by the Lmacy Commits
sioners in the same year by 10000! A
large number, no doubt, lived with
their families because they could well
afford to keep them at home. None
would be in receipt of relief, or they
would have appeared in the commits
sioners' report. Another most impor-
tant qualifying consideration remains
the relative numbers of the classes of
society from which the poor and the
well-to-do lunatics are derived. Sev-
eral years ago the Scotch commission
ers estimated the classes from which
private patients are derived at only
about an eighth of the entire population
of Scotland-a proportion which would
make them at least as relatively numer-
Gus as the pauper lunatics. No doubt
in England the corresponding class of
society is a larger one; but whatever it
may be, calculation based upon the
relative proportion of different social
strata in this country would vastly re-
duce the apparent enormously different
liability to insanity among the well-to-
do and the poorer sections of the COM
munity, although, with this correction,
the pauper lunatics would still be rela-
lively in the majority.-Dr. Tuke, in
Popular Science Monthly.

The most remarkable railroad ac-
cident on record happened not long
ago on the Northwestern Road, between
London and Liverpool. A man and
his wife were travelling in a compart-
ment alone, when, the train going at
the rate of sixty miles an hour, an iron
rail projecting from a car on side
track cut into the carriage and took the
head of the woman clear off and rolled
it into her husbands lap. He subse-
quently sued the company for dam
ages, and created great surprise in
court by giving his age at thirty-six
years, although his hair was snow
white. 1t had been turned from jet
black by the horror of that event.
WHAT HAPPENED.
A very respectable Kangaroo
Died week before last in Timbuctoo;
A remarkable accident happened to him:
He was hung head down from banyan-limb.
The Royal Lion made proclamation
For day of fasting and lamentation,
Nnlcn leu 10 Il curious demonstration;
The Elephant acted as if he were drunk
He stood on his head he trod on his trunk;
An over-sensitive she Gorilla
Declared that the shock would surely kill her
A frisky, gay and frolicsome Ape
Tied up his tail with yard of Grape;
The Donkey wiped his eyes with his ears;
The Crocodile shed bucket of tears;
The Rhinoceros gored young Giraffe
Who had the very bad taste to laugh;
The Hippopotamus pulled and blew,
To show his respect for the Kangaroo;
And sad but indignant Chimpanzee
Knawed all the bark from the banyan-tree.

"ThrOW Him Overheard"

The following story, which comes
under the category of highly interest
ing if true" is told of Commodore Am
men, Chief of the Bureau of Navigation
in the Navy Department during the re-
bellion. Ammen, then a Captain in the
navy, was placed in command of par
ty of men who had enlisted IN San Fran
cisco for the Pacific squadron. They
were embarked on a merchant trans
port, and few days out the men,
among whom were many rough char
acters, showed disposition to mutiny,
alleging that their food was unfit or in
sufficient. The muttered threats and
black looks at length became so alarm
ing that the master of the vessel, fear
ing for its safety, as well as for the
lives of himself and crew, who were
outnumbered ten to one, expressed to
Capt. Ammen his fears, and his inclina-
ton to make for the nearest post.
"Why make for port?" said Ammen.
81 am in command and wish to 60 to
the squadron" But" replied the
master, "they will kill us all-they will
kill you if you go among them" 1--WE
will see about that" said the Captain.
Aiming himself, he went down where
the men were gathered and walked in
among them. Voices were immediate

ly hrshed, and one burly fellow named
Murphy, the leader in the mischief,
came toward him, determined evident
ly to begin the work of destruction at
once. Raising his revolver, Ammen
shot the man dead, and then command
ed, in a voice which contained much
more than words: "Throw him over
board" Recovering from their stupor,
the men glared like wild beasts upon
theintrepid Captain, and soon second
muineer gained the courage to move
upon him. Another shot, and again
cane the order: "Throw him over
boadr' Yet once more was the awful
tragedy repeated and third bloody
feat went to the sharks. The mutiny
was ended. The men huddled together
in 5he farthest corners. Pointing out
one by one the remaining ringleaders,
Anmen ordered their companions to
put them in irons, and when this was
doIe he returned to his state-room

Possibilities Of a Tight Dress.

APRoPos of the tight-itting dress
mania, at some of the leading Paris
houses they dress up young girls in the
newest mode, so that the customers
may see the effect of the style and ma
terial.
A lady, looking at one of these girls
dressed in a robe that fitted exceeding
ly close, asked her whether she could
walk about in it.
Certainly, madam" was the reply.
"Its easy enough to promenade in it,
but can't go up or downstairs.
