King Frederick's Joke.

CONSPICUOUS among the few men OF
his time who ever got the better OF
Frederick the Great in testing en-
counter was an abbot of the Catholic
Monastery of Camenz, who succeeded
in that high office the worthy Abbot
Tobias, an old favorite and friend of the
Protestant hero, whom, upon memora.
BILE occasion, he had saved from capture
by party of foraging Croat horsemen.
The King disliked the new abbot as
heartily as he liked the old one; but,
having been Hospitality entertained by
him during the last visit he ever paid to
Camenz, he deemed it fitting to recog-
nize his hosts attentions by some
special mark of royal grace, and, calling
the abbot to his carriage window, as he
was about to drive away from the mon
astery gates, said to him: "Ask me a
favor" "Sire," observed the abbot,
"our second bass choir singer is recent
ly dead. Doubtless your Majesty can
dispose of many chorists in Berlin. Will
my all-mightiest, all-serenest monarch
deign to begift us with second bass?''
The King, after moments reflection,
replied: "I'll send you one from Neu-
stadt on the Dosse." 1t flashed across
the abbot's mind that Frederick had
some short time previously set up an
establishment for improving the breed
of assess in the very town mentioned by
him, and foreseeing what sort of bass
singer the Kings peculiar humor would
prompt him to forward to Camenz
wherewith to recruit its choir, he prompt
ly rejoined: "Most dread sovereign, in
token of our gratitude for your gracious
bounty, and in accordance with the GUS
tom of our order, we shall bestow upon
our new second bass the name of his
exalted donor. He will be known in
our choir as Fredericus Secundus." The
King made no attempt to return this
deXterous home thrust, but drove off in
silence, which he maintained unbroken
for nearly an hour, when, turning to his
aid-de-camp, he drily observed: "That
is what one gets by joking with fools!"
But he never again alluded to an episode
in which he felt that he had been thor
oughly worsted.-London Telegraph.

Fresh Air in the Bedroom.

How much air can be safely admitted
into sleeping or iving-room is COM
mon question. Rather, it should be
considered, how rapidly air can be ad-
mitted, without injury or risk, and at
how low temperature. We can not
have too much fresh air, so long as we
are warm enough, and are not exposed
to draughts. What is draught? 1t is
a swift current of air, at temperature
lower than the body, which robs either
the whole body, or an exposed part, of
its heat, so rapidly as to disturb the
equilibrium of our circulation and give
us cold. Young and healthy persons
can habituate themselves to sleeping in
even strong draught, as from an open
window, if they cover themselves, in
cold weather, with an abundance of
bedclothes. But those who have been
long accustomed to being sheltered from
the outer air by sleeping in warmed and
nearly or quite shut-up rooms, are too
susceptible to cold to bear q direct
draught of cold air. Persons over sew
enty years of age, moreover, with lower
vitality than in their youth, will not
bear q low temperature, even in the air
they breathe. Like dollhouse plants,
they may be killed by a winter nights
chill and must be protected by warmth
at all times. As rule we may say that,
except for the most robust, the air
which enters at night into a sleeping
chamber should, in cold weather, be
admitted gradually only by cracks or
moderate openings; or should have its
force broken by some interposed obsta-
Gle, as curtain, etc., to avert its blow
ing Immediately upon a sleeper in his
bed. The ancient fashion, however, of
of having bed-curtains, which exclude
almost all the air, has rightly becor:e
almost obsolete. No wonder that peorle
dream horrid dreams, and wake in the
morning wearied rather than refreshed,
when they sleep in rooms sealed up
tightly on. every side; breathing over
and over again their own breaths, which
grow more poisonous with every hour

Big and little, and little and big,
Dolls and trumpets, and balls and bats,
Drums and whistles, and guns and whips,

But they have no tifes nor whistles to blow:

No pigs, no lions, no cows, no goats,
No dolls no cradles, no skates, no tops,
Nor oranges. candy, or lOllipops;
Nothing that's pretty, and nothing that good
But leaves and acorns, and bark and wood.
So the tree of all others that's best to me
Is my winter blOOmer! my Christmas-tree!

IN 1915. Another case is related of .
young man who, after being severely
wounded in the temple, for which he
was trepanned, manifested an uncon-
querable propensity for theft, which was
quite against his natural disposition. He
was imprisoned for larceny after having
committed several robberies; and had
not medical testimony been produced to
show that he was insane, and which
attributed his kleptomania to disorder
of the brain, he would have been pun
ished according to law.
Several ingenious but improper de-
lenses have been made by persons pos
sessed of good pecuniary means, and
holding respectable social position,
with the view of escaping imprisonment
for thefts they have committed more
from moral turpitude than diseased
mind. One of the most noteworthy of
these is mentioned by Casper. Madame
de X had stolen articles in three
goldsmiths' shops: and subsequently
confessed to her husband that at q GER
tain time she had an irresistible desire
to possess herself of shining objects.
She confessed to having taken objects
from shops; and stated that on one &C.
casion when she went to return the
goods she had been restrained from do
ing so from the belief that the articles
were her own. Much evidence was
given to prove that she suffered from
mental disease; but on Casper's opin-
ion being asked concerning her alleged
kleptomania, he concluded that her
propensity to steal was not irresistible;
that she had not been compelled to
commit the three thefts in spite of her.
self. and that she was responsible for
them as criminal actions. His reasons
for this opinion were that, in the first
place, although the accused had be-
sought her husband not to take her to
those places where shining objects were
to be seen, she went to goldsmiths'
shops of her own accord, and without
any necessity for doing so. Second,
that she paid away silver. Third, that
she broke up the objects she stole, in
order that they might not be recog-
nized, and in that way lead to her de-
lection. Fourth, she had not gone to
the same goldsmith's shop twice. Fifth,
she had concealed her conduct from
her husband. And last, when she was
Intercepted, had made many false and
contradictory statements.

CuriOsities OF Kleptomania.

SOME curious cases of kleptomania
are mentioned in Chanl6crs's Journal
A lady was affected with this monoma-
MIA so strongly that, upon her trial for
theft, she stated that she had such a
mad longing to possess herself of every
thing she saw that if she were at church
she could not refrain from stealing from
the altar. DIR. Rush, the American
physician, informs us that woman who
was exemplary in her obedience to the
moral law, except the Eighth Command
ment, was so addicted to larceny that,
when she could take nothing more valu-
able, she would often, at the table of a
friend, secretly fill her pockets with
bread. Lavater also states that doc
tor of medicine could not leave his pa
TENTS room without taking something
away unobserved; and his wife searched
his pockets and returned to their own
ers the knives, thimbles, scissors, etc.,
which her husband distracted. The
wife of another physician had so strong
a propensity to steal that on making
purchases she endeavored to take some
thing away that did not belong to her;
and two German countesses appear to
have been guilty of the same vice. The
almOner OF regiment of Prussian cui-
rassiers, well educated man, frequent
ly on parade stole the handkerchiefs of
the officers; and one unfortunate man
was so far under the influence of klepto-
mania that, being nigh unto death, he
actually secreted the snuff-b of his
cOnfeSsOr!
AS to modern instances of this species
of insanity, we knew a parish clergyman
who stole every article he could lay his
hands on. If out at dinner he pocket
ed scraps of bread, table-napkins or
anything. When lodging at hotels he
carried off pieces of soap and the ends
of candles from his bedroom. His lar
cenies became so notorious that he was
ultimately brought before the Church
courts and turned out of his living.
DR.. Gall menti ms an instance of two
citizens of Vienna who on becoming
insane were well known in the hospital
for an extraordinary propensity to steal,
although they had before lived ire
proachable lives. They wandered about
from morning to night and picked up
whatever they could lay their hands on,
which they carefully hid in their rooms.
Abnormal conformations of the head,
accompanied with an imbecile under
standing, are often the cause of klepto-
mania. Gall and Spurzheim saw in bern
prison a boy twelve years old, who is
described as "ill organized and rick
ety." who could never avoid stealing.
An ex-commissary of police at Toulouse
was condemned to eight years impris-
onment and hard labor and to the pill
lory for having stolen some plate while
in Office. He did not deny the crime,
but persisted to the last in a singular
kind of a defense. He attributed the
crime to mental arrangement caused
by wounds he had received at Marseilles

Poor Relations.

cit is a melancholy TRUTH" says
Dickens, ''that even great men have
their poor relations" but it seems to us
that it is more sad to reflect that small
men are provided with the same abomi-
nations. The great man may perhaps
stand upon his own dignity, and carry
his poor relations along with him with
out finding them hurt or hlndrance ;
his greatness adds luster to their in
significance, which in no wise detracts
from his importance; he floats on the
top of the wave and takes them in tow.
But there is nothing for the small man
to do except to grin and bear the m !;
there is little or nothing in his internal
economy to mitigate the atiliction, I'M
less he should happen to possess that
virtue which is able to convert misfor-
tunes into advantages, which enables
him to make use of his INDECENT friends,
or to regard their vulgar circumstances
with indulgence or Indifference. One
hardly knows, meanwhile, if there is
anything to choose between the poor
relation who is servile, and after the
pattern of Uriah Heep, or she who is in
accessible and afraid of patronage, who
holds you at arms length, lest you
should presume too much upon the acct
dent of her poverty or your consanguin-
ity; to whom one would dare offer only
the choicest gifts; whose double dis
titled sensitiveness takes alarm at the
slightest familiarity. Perhaps, how
ever, IN order fully to understand the
situation, and to make just allowance
for pride which is overweighted and
humility which is slavish, it
would be necessary for each of US to be
a poor relation once in a lifetime to look
at existence through her spectacles; to
suffer her sights, her embarrassments :;
to wear secondhand clothes, accept
secondhand attentions; 10 be the per-
son whom it is always safe to overlook
with no fear of retribution; obliged to
receive favors and continually from the
same source; to let talent become
sterile RACK of fertilizing opportunity ;
to waste ones sweetness on the desert
air of obscurity. Perhaps such an ex-
perience would make us more tender
and more considerate of the poor rela-
ton when she comes in our way. Hath
not poor relation senses, affections,
passions, no less than Jew? If you
wound him, shall he not bleed? If you
tread on him, shall he not turn? Is his
sight so obscured by poverty that he
does not know injuries and selfshness
from caresses and generosity? Is he SO
chastened by want that he accepts in
suits with gratitude? No doubt it is
oftener our own consciences rather than
any disagreeable trait or unuttered CEN
sure which render the poor relation Of
fensive to us; her very existence is a
tacit reproof of our own self-indulgence
and luxury; the ghost of her necessities
refuses to be laid, but haunts US with an
almost unreasonable pertinacity; and
though it is the fault-or virtue of our
own organization, the fact that she re-
mains a living rebuke to us does not in
crease our enjoyment of her society
