Truths.

The ST. Louis express, on tho New
Y ork Central road, was crowded one
evening recently, whom at one of the
way stations, an elderly gentleman, nc
companied by q young lady, entered the
cars and finally secured beat. As the
conductor approached the pair, tho
young lady arose, and in pleading
voice said :
"Ploase, sir, don't let him carry me
to the asylum. am not crazy / am
little tired, but not mad. Oh no
indeed. Won't you please have papa
take me back homo ?"
Tho conductor, accustomed though
ho was to all phases Of humanity looked
with astonishment at the pair as did the
other passengers in the vicinity. A
few words from the father, however,
sutiieed, and tho conductor passed on
while the young lady turned her face to
the window. The writer chanced to be
seated just behind the old gentleman
and could not forgo tho desire TO s5eak
to him. With a sad face and tremb-
ling voice the father said
"My daughter has been attending
the seminary in distant town and was
succeeding remarkably. Her natural
qualities, together with great ambi.
tion, placed her in the front ranks OF
the school, but she studied too closely,
was not careful Of her health, and her
poor biain has been turned. | am
taking her to private asylum where
We hope she will soon be better"
At the next station tho old man and
his daughter left tho cara, but the In
cident, 80 suggestive of Shakspeare's
OPhelia, awakened strange thoughts in
the mind of the writer. IL il an abso-
Lutte fact that while tho population OF
America increased thirty per cent dur
ing the decade between 1870 and 1880
The insanity increase was over one hun
dred aud thirty-6ve per cent for the
same period. Travellers by rail, by
boat, or in carriages in any part Of the
land see large and elaborate buildings,

Insane asylums !
Who builds them
Each state every county hundreds
Of private individuals, and in all cases
their capacity is taxed to tho utmost.
Why
Because men, in business and the
professions, women, at homo or Ia So
ciety, aud children at school overtax
their mental and nervous forces by
work, worry and care. This brings
about nervous disorders, indigestion
aud eventually mania.
IL is not alway nble with the
head that causes in8znIty. IL far Of

the body. The nervous system deter

ing in the ears feveriAh head fro
qaent nausea or u sinking at tho pit OF
the stomach, should take waning al
once. The stomach and head are ia
direct sympathy and If one DO impaired
the other can never be in order. Acute
dyspepsia causes more insane suicide,
than any other known agency and The
man, woman or child whose stomach il
deranged is not and cannot be safe from
the coming on at any moment Of manii
in some one Of ts>many terrible forms
The value Of moderation and the im
perative necessity Of care in keeping thI
stomach right must therefore be clea
TO all. Tho least appearance Of indiges
ton, or mal-assimilation Of food shoulC
be watched as carefully AZ the first ap.

such attacks. but all have heretofor,
been more or less detective. There cal
be little doubt. however, that for th
purpose of regulating the stomach, ton
