A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
A Young Girls Dementia-How It Was OccasiOned- Some New
 and Startling Truths.

The St. Louis express. on the New York Central road, was crowded one evening re-
 gently, when at one of the way stations, an
 elderly gentleman, accompanied by young
 lady. entered the cars and finally secured a
 seat. As the conductor approached the
 pair, the young lady arose, and in a plead
 ing voice said ;-
 Please, sir, don't let him carry me to
 the asylum. l am not crazy; am a little
 tired, but not mad. Oh. no indeed. Won't
 you please have papa take me back home"
 The conductor, accustomed though he
 was to all phases of humanity, looked with
 astOnlsrrltut e the pair, as did the other
 passengers Tn their vicinity. few words from the father, however, suficed, and the conductor passed on, while the young lady turned her face tO the window. The writer rhanced 10 be seated just behind the old gentleman, and could not forego the desire to speak tO him. With a sad face and q trembling voice the father said:-
 My daughter has been attending the seminary m a distant town, and was suc- cseding rCmarkably. Her natural quail ties, together with q great ambition. placed her in the front ranks of the school. but she studied too closely, was not careful of her health, ana her poor brain has been turned. am taking her to private asylum, where We hope she will soon be better
 Al the next station the old man and bis daughter loft the cars, but the incident. so suggestive of Shakespeare's Ophelia. Gwak- ened strange thoughts in the mind Of the writer. it IS gn absolute fact that while the population of America increased thirty Der cent. during the decade between 1870 and lo'J. tho insanity increase was OUer one hundred dad ntHty-Jire per cent for the same period. Travellers by rail. by boat, or m carriages in any part of the land, sse large and elaborate buildings, and inquire what they are.
 Insane asylumsl
 Who builds them
 Each State. every county, hundreds of private individuals, and in all eases their capacity IS taxed tO the utmost.
 Why.
 Because men, in business and the profes- sions, women, at home or in society, and children at school, OvertaX their mental and nervous forces by work, worry, and care. This brings about nervous disorders, indi- gestlon. and eventually mania.
 lt is nos always trouble with the head tha: causes insanity. It far oftener arises from evils In other parts Of the body. The nervous system determines the status of the brain. Any one who has periodic head aches, occasional dizziness, a dimness of vision, a ringing in the ears, a feverish head, frequent nausea. or a sinking at tho | pit of the stomach, should take warming at | once. Iae stomach and the head are in | direct sympathy. and if one be impaired the | other can never be in order. Acute dyspep- l sia causes more insane suicides than any | other known agency, and the man, woman, | or child waOse stomach Is deranged Is not | and cannot be safe from the coming on at | any mOmeAt of mania in some one of its | many terr ble forms.
 Tue value of moderation and the impera- tive necessity of care in keeping the stOm- gcl right must therefore be clear to all. | The least appearance of indigestion or nal assimilation Uf food should be watched as | carefully as ti.s first approach of an invad- ing army. Many means have been adyO- catsd for meeting such attacks. but all have heretofore been moro or less defective.
