| The St. Louis express, on the New ork
| Central road, was crowded one evening
| receiitly, 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 ap-
| preached the pair, tic yonng lady arose,
! and in pleading voice said: .-...
sPlease, sir, don't let him carry me to
| the asylum. am not crazy; 1 am little
! tired. but not mad. Oh no indeed. Won't
YOU please have papa take me back home:
The conductor, accustomed though ne
was to all phases of humanity, looked with
astohishment at the pair rs did the other
! Ipassen gers in their vicinity. A few words
from the father, however, sitficed, and
the conductor passed on while the young
] LADY turned her face to the window. The
writer chanced TO be be seated juse behind
the Old gentleman aud could not forego
the desire to speak to him. With SAD
face and a trembling voice the father
said:
"Nfy daughter has been attending the
seminary i'll distant town anu was sue
ceeding remarkably. Her natural quaii,
ties, together with great ambition, placed
her in the front ranks of the school, but
she studied too closely, was not careful OF
her health, and her poor brain has been
turned, 1 am taking her to private asy-
ium where we hope she VIII soon De
better. "- -.-E '1l'.- lat.- '',
At the next station the old man and his
daughter left the cars, but Tue incident, !"

while the population OF America increased

tween 1870 and 1880 the insanity increase
was over one hundred aud thirty fire per cent
for the same period. Travellers by rail,

Because men, in business and the pro-
fessions, women, at home or in society,
and children at school overtax their men-
tai and nervous forces by work, worry and
care. This brings about nervous disorders
indigestion and eventually mania.
tits not always trouble with the head
that causes insanity. 1t 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
headaches; occasionally dizziness; dim
ness of vision; ringing in the ears;
feverish head; frequent nausea or sink
inS at the pit of the stomach, should take
warning ut once. The stomach and head
are in direct sympathy and II one DE I'M

The value of moderation and the imper-
ative necessity Of care in keeping the
stomach right must therefore be clear TO
all. The least appearance OF indigestion,
or mal-assimiation Of food should be
watched as carefully rs the first approach
of an invading army. Many means nave
been advocated for meeting such attacks,
but all have been heretofore more or less
defective. There can be little doubt, how
