James ID. Rhymus was a patient an a
private mad house. Mrs. Bigelow, VIE
OF the physician in charge, took deep In
terest in his case. She believed that IN
sanity could best be cured by moral sGa-
sion and general mild treatment, and she
chose Rhymus as n subject on whom 10
test her system. He steadily improved,
until at last, sanity was rc-e>t1blished.
In the meantime Mrs. Biselow had become
a widow. She soon after married Rhy-
mus. aud he became physician. That
was twenty years ago. DIR. Rhymus made
insanity speciality in his practice, aud
mad charge successfully of many asylums.
He adhered 20 the theory of mild treat
nent, which had proved etiicacious in his
own case, and for the purpose oil putting
IL into thorough practice he leased, few
weeks ago, the Grand View Hotel, near
Denver, turning il into an asylum. In or
der 70 train his keepers by degrees he hrst
admitted only three patients, and these
were supposed to be only slightly derang-
ed. Bnt he was mistaken in one OF these,
aud one morning found himself attacked
by a furious mailman who choked him in-
sensible, and would have killed him il his
wife had not fought heroically 10 free him.
During the connection caused by the
struggle the two other patients escaped,
and one OF them drowned herself. This
bad beginning of the enterprise drove DR..
Rhymus insane again, and while out or his
mind he slew his wife.

The sunhower, in all its yariou:
parts, is turned TO extra ordinary account
in Lithania. The seeds yield, at first
pressure, excellent salad, and the residue
forms excellent oilcake for cattle, who
are also very fond of the leaves and stalks
chopped up. The flowers, little short
of bloom, are. when cooked, nearly a:
good as artichokes. and are in the gar.
den very attractive to bees. The leai
we'll dried, is used as tobacco. The
seeds receptacles are made into blottine
paper, and the inner part Of the stalk i;
made into fine writing paper. The
more woody portions of the plant, which
attains great size, are used for fuel. The
best is obtained in the Crimea. AS an
anti-malsrial agent the sunaOwer Is most
valuable.
