A CANADIAN HORROR.
The Internal Arrangements of Gov
eminent Insane Asylum Des-
cribed by an Expert.
Especial Telegram to the Globe

MONTREAL, Oct. 15.-Dr. Hack luke, the
famous English lunacy expert, has published
a report on the condition OF the government
insane asylum in this province, in which he
says it is impossible to convey an adequate
idea of the horrors he witnessed and can
only lken the treatment adapted as a
relic of barblrism. In the upper
fiat in a small room he found sixty men con-
fined, all under restraint, hand culTed and
strapped to chairs. In other parts OF the
building he found cells without windows. and
with wretched ventilation. In a
totally dark cell he discovered
man stark naked lying on
straw and handcufTed to belt. In another
a man deaf and dumb was similarly man
acled in an empty cell without bed or bed
ding. The women's room he described as
chamber of horror and even more terrible
than the place where the men are kept. 10
conclusion he says il is amazing that a col
ouy of England can present such 4 spectacle
as he describes. Tne asylum is under the
charge OF the nuns, and government in
quiry will be instituted

The Chinese Belle.

Chinese belle is a curiosity to China
man as well as TO Christians. Even her own
countrywomen look upon her with as much
wonder as admiration. One reason of this
is her rarity. Bellies in China are rare birds
of rare plumage. No ordinary community
can afford the luxury of possessing more
than one or two such dazzling charmers.
As speech with the male sex is, of course,
forbidden her, her features, eyes, cheeks
and silent lids must be eloquent. Her skin
must have great firmness of texture, to en-
dure the continued coatings of white paste
aud vermillion paint, which the laws of her
being enjoy. Her feet must not exceed
three inches in length or one inch in
breadth. The finger-nails of her last three
fingers must be as long as their fingers.
These last two points are the especial glory
of Chinese fashion.
Her daily life does not differ much from a
lady of fashion in the days of Pepys or the
younger Walpole. Suspicious of the morning
mists, she never rises befors noon. Break
fast is searyed in her room by her servants.
This languid meal over, she begins the Sc
rious business of her life Hair by hair, sup
ported by three or four hair dressers, she at
tacks the tangled locks in whose adorn ment
she finds her chief pride. Both mistress and
maids labor for three or four hours, with
snatches of rest, and, thoroughly exhausted
by their task at six O'clock, sit down to their
dinner. Each province has its separate
method of dressing the hair, eighteen in all,
and the fashion Of a woman's hair betrays
her residence. The handsomest couture
is worn by the woman of Khan LII, that
boasts the beautiful cities of Foo Chow and
Shanghai.
Strangely enough, the belle is the only wo-
man is China who has a shadow of freedom.
She is allowed to 90 to the theaters, and
even to pay visits with far less surveillance
than her less-favored sisters. There is
something in the black patch that she wears
next her left temple, or by the corner or her
mouth, that checks any attempt at impropri-
ETY.. A belle, of course, never walks, and
rarely waddles, but is almost ALWAYS borne
in sedan chair. She is ap adept in the
language of the eyes, and through those
silent windows can signal more persuasive
arguments than fame with her hundred
ongues.-I2hIadslDtjd Bulletin.

CLUBBING OUTRAGE.
Perpetrated by a Special Policeman
Last Night.

Last Night.
Z. NJ. Baker, clerk in the freight Office of
the Sioux City division of the Omaha road
went up to Minneapolis early last evening
and took the II O'Clock train on the River
road to return.
He had met some friends in his absence
and taken several drinks and
fell asleep in the passenger
coach and did not wake up on
the arrival of the train at the Union depot or
when the car was run down into the lower
yard.
1t seems he was discovered in the car
somewhere about midnight by Waterman
and special officer Ryan, of the River Road
yard, who gave him a most fearful clubbing,
raising bunch as big as a hens egg on the
side of his left eye, another almost half the
size on the right side of his face, Il big bunch
and wound higher on the forehead
aud cutting one cash in the side of his head
half inch long, and another murderous and
dangerous cash an inch and half long just
forward of the crown.
Ryan and another man, after butchering
this well dressed man, having open evidence
by ring on his iinger.a watch and chain and
money in his pocket, OF his being respectable
summoned the patrol wagon about II 80
O'Clock to the depot sheds, where they had
brought him from the car in the lower yard,
and gave him into charge of the
officers on the bald faced charge
of vagrancy and resisting an officer He
was brought TO the city hall bleeding pro-
fusely, and when he arrived there was so
covered by blood as to be unrecognizable.
DR.. Anker was immediately summoned
and dressed his wounds, pronouncing them
as having been inflicted with a club, and
that the larger one on the top of his head
was narrow escape for the victim with
his life, being most murderous
and dangerous though very for
tunately not fatal. In the meantime large
number Of the friends of Baker, who boards
at the Inter Ocean hotel on Fifth street, as
sembled and were very excited over the out
rage to peaceable and inoffensive citizen
and Immediately put up $50 bail, and after
his wounds were dressed took the injured
man to his room at the hotel.
Mr.. Baker says thai the first he knew Of
the assault was his being taken up on
the platform outside the depot by the watch
man and another man and it is probable
that the blows dealt him willie asleep robbed
him of consciousness until that time.
The officers at the station and Dr. Anker
were of the opinion that the proceeding was
of a most outrageous and unwarrantabie
character and the appearances are that
Waterman Ryan will have an opportunity of
proving his charge at the municipal court
this morning and of defending himself for
an unprovoked assault with a dangerous
weapon.

is completed by brown satin ties. Strings
are considered necessary to all small bon
nets, except the Langtry, which is more of a
turban than bonnet This now appears in
felt and is trimmed in the same style, only
substituting feather aigrettes for flowers and
grasses. Some of the new bonnets are new
in more than name, for the shapes are new
as well as noticeable. One a very
small tapering crown, with a
straight brim bent to a peak
in front; another shows brim
turned up coronet form cut down in the cen
tire, another has square crown, with the
small brim formed by an indentation. These
little felts come in all the fashionable shades.
Some bonnets are found with maroon silk
ribbon, but they are not as populsr. Many
OF the hats incline toward the English walk
ing hat style, with rolled sides, and heavier
brims. There are many odd shapes and
each is desirable as far as fashion is con-
cerned With the high couture so much in
vogue, light and airy curls are worn. For
those TO whom high coiffures are not becom-
ing it is pleasant to know that the low knot
is fashionable

The Wabash Interest.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 15.-The report of Master
of Chancery Allen recommending to the
United States that the receiver of the Wabash
road be permitted to pay the interest on the
Havana division of that road, was presented
to Judge Treat to-day, and he refused to con-
firm it. He said he had consulted with the
other judges of the bench and they had re-
solved not to permit the payment of the in
terest on the bonds of any division of the
system which was not self sustaining. As
it was not equitable or just that the earnings
of the self sustaining parts of the system
should be used to pay the interest on the bonds
OF the non-supporting parts. He had permitted
the payment of the interest on the Eel River
bonds, but would not again allow such pay
ments to be made. On representation of
the attorney of the receivers that such refusal
would result in the foreclosure of the bonds
of the Havana division, that it could be shown
that the road, Independent OF its value as
feeder, is now self sustaining. Judge Treat
referred the report of the master back for
further information, with the remark if this
claim is made good he will permit the pay
ment Of the interest. The receivers of the
Wabash to-day fled a report of
action undtr orders of the court,
directing them to issue their obligations
as receivers in lieu Of promissory notes to
the amount of S22, 1888 due May 81, 1884, and
$4,000 due January 80, 1884, and all other
prcmissory notes maturing before any diff
fcrent order of the court should be made
These notes were secured by the endorse
ment of Jay Gould, Russell Sage, Scion
Humphreys and Sidney Dillon, who con-
scented to the continuance of their endorse
ments on the new obligations. This issue
in lieu of the promissory notes amounted to
50. O36. 666.

selection and Treatment of Domestic
SCR mt

Don't be afraid to treat good servant
kindly. Seldom praise directly, but treat
as if you were contented, and be friendly,
as am happy to say, most American people
are with their dependents. 1t looks well to
see young ladies going to evening lecture,
church sociable or concert with the tidy
maid, whose cheerful face shows she is
happy to be with them. Don't you remem-
Der how kind Mrs. Carlysle-that model
housekeeper whom one cannot help quoting
was to her little Scotch servant when she
took for companion one day to the natl
onal art gallery in london, bringing home
by way of compensation that immortal crit
lcism of a Madonna from The enraptured las
sic: ''Oh my how expensive!" Don't be
afraid OF being kind to your servants, or
treating them like the same sort of human
ity as yourself, for you will lose too much by
the contrary course. ''The pithiest, quaint
test turns of language, the most caustic wit,
the most touching pathos in the world" says
deep observer, 81 have heard not from the
educated and refined lady in her drawing
room, but from the Woodworking woman of
the lower class, from the lips perhaps of a
Washer-Woman or of a maid servant who
could hardly spell out her letters from home,
or the chapter from her Bible of a Sunday.'
Don't keep an ordinary ''tolerable" sort of a
girl if you can help it; there are enough
good ones in the world to be found by seek
ing. Treat yourself to good help if you have
any-and choose girl to whom you can feel
like being her best friend Then see that
she treats you well, does your work as you
want it done, makes you comfortable, and
makes her labor tolerable to herself. You
are entitled to this, and it is no kindness to
her to allow things to 60 on slack fashion.
Train her, as have said, to system and dis
patch which shorten her hours of work. and
make work itself more interesting Teach
her your nice ways, telling her the right
| thing TO do from the first. It is easier to di-
rect than to correct. Take the lead for two
or three days and show her how the table is
to be set and served, how to make the coffee
and bake the potatoes, aud tell her she is to
knock on entering the family rooms. 1t is
the hardest thing to teach American girls
that they cannot, in a well-bred family,
bounce into a sitting-room or a chamber as
uncermononiously as they please. They
may tap and enter without farther signal, in
sltting-room or p arlor, but no person, rela-
tive or servant, will enter the bedroom of
another without knocking and waiting till
hidden ''come in"
The good servants are not all dead, and
they make fortunate homes where they stay
Don't pass over faults that can be corrected
do not grudge any kindness in your power
to make their lives as comfor. able as you
want yours.-The Neat Neqa6or IN Wide
