The theory lila. inmates OF insane asy'
ums should be required to work isgain-
ng ground, and it is not improbable
that many OF the asylums will eventual
ly become nearly self-supportine. in
stead of bel g as now, a very heavy tax
upon the public. Of course, many of
their inmates are too insane to work, but
perhaps more than half of the whole
number in confinement are capable of
engaging in some useful employment
several hours every day. 1t is the opin.
ion of the best experts in insanity that
agreeable work is one Of the most valu-
able curative agents for the insane, and
to devise employment suited to the diff
ferent patients is likely to soon become
an important problem for the managers
of our insane asylums.

being turned over by crooked work.
They tell me he piled up a snug little
fortune of $4,000. I've seen him with
half that coin. in his fist, for he always

when dead broke would get up with q
story that would make a horse laugh.
That was one OF the reasons he was SO
clever with cards. ycu could never
sicken him of the game, no matter how
steep it was or how bad they gave it to
him in the neck. It's a pretty frigid

A fairer hand never cut for a deal. But
you couldn't do him up on any racket

never depended en anything but his
own hand and skill to carry him through,
he vas a cleaner to tumbe to a sniggle.
Nobody ever downed him on a cold

had been making himself a millionaire
at the expense Of the best of us. Dutch
