Statistics about Insanity.

Twenty years ago the number of in
sane persons in the United States was
only 24,042 In 1870 it reached 81, ,432.
and in 1880 treatment was required
for 91,950 lunatics. From 1870 to
1880 the increase of insanity was near
ly $50 per cent, while that of the to tai
population was about So. The pro-
portion of the insane is greatest in
New England, while the increase has
been most rapid in the Western States.
In the State of New York there are
thirty-five Institutions for the care of
these unfortunate people, accommoda-
ting 11,343 patients, while it is said
there are 1000 provided for at home.
In America, apart from several large
county asylums, there are eighty
State and forty private institutions for
the care of the insane, with proper
capacity for about 40, 900, but contain
ing 80, 1872, thus leaving probably 49,
600 to be cared for elsewhere.

TIE LORDS OF LABOR.

They come they come in glorious march,
You can hear their steam-steeds neigh,
As they dash through Skilrs triumphal arch,
Or plunge mid the dancing spray.
Their bale fires blaze in the mighty forge,
Their life-pulse throbs in the mill,
Their lightnipgs shiver the gaping gorge,
And their thunders shake the hill
Hol these are the Titans of toll and trade,
The heroes who WELD no sabre;
But mightier conquests reapeth the blade
That is borne by the Lords of Labor.
Brave hearts like Jewels light the sod,
Through the mists of commerce shine.
And souls flash out, like stars of God,
From the midnight OF the mine.
No palace is theirs, no castle great,
No princely pllar'd hall;
But they well may laugh at the roofs OF state
Meath the heaven which is over all.
Eol these are the Titans of toll and trade,
The heroes who WELD no sabre;
But mightier conquests reapeth the blade
Which is borne by the Lords OF Labor
Each bares his arm for the ringing strife
That marshals the sons of the soil,
And the sweat-drops shed in their battle OF life
Are gems in the crown of toll.
And better their well-worn wreaths, l trow,
Than laurels with blood wet;
And nobler the arch of bare, bold brow
Than a clasp of coronet.
Then hurrah for each hero, although his deed
Be unblown by the trump or tabor.
For holier, happier far is the need
That crowneth the Lords of Labor!

The Kind They Raise at Yale

Cincir natl Enquirer.
Il have another card story" con-
tinued Major Calkins, land Senator
Jones, of Nevada, is my authority for
it. He says the incident actually hap
pened in one of the little mining towns
of his state. One night at the leading
saloon of this little town a party of a
half dozen were playing poker.
Among the players was nice young
fellow, a graduate of Yale College,
and man who had been qu to Sue
cessful at mining. and had at the same
time made himself popular with his
fellows. Another member of the par
ty was one-eyed stranger, and the
lest was made up of honest miners
about the camp. The play went on
from early in the evening until about
midnight, and all this time the one
eyed man seemed to get all the good
hands. Several times the college grad
uate thought he saw that the man was
cheating, but he did not appear to no.
tice it.
..At midnight the college graduate
rose up and quietly said: Gentlemen,
we are all tired playing, and some of
us are about broke. 1 propose now
that we have a recess, and have some
oysters and champaign. After we are
through we will throw away these
cards, get a new deck, and see if our
luck don't change. We will set out to
play square game, and Chere he look
ed hard at the one-eyed stranger as he
put his hand on the revolver at his
belt) and the. first man we catch
cheating we will shoot out his other
eye.' Well the motion was carried,
the oysters were eaten, and the luck
did change. The one-eyed man lost
every cent of his winnings, and as day
light broke through the dirty panes oil
the saloon windows he arose declaring
himself dead broke"

Latest Styles in Bracelets.
Jewellers Circular.

jew ellers' Circular.
The bracelets worn to-day are in re-
markable contrast with the old fash
ioned chain manacles and stiff, broad
bands of former. times. The latter
were valued chiefly according to size
and weight, while the present STYLES
include only such as are delicate and
dainty in construction and of artistic
pattern and finish. Numbered with
new things attracting deserved atten-
ton and promising to have long run
are elastic reversible gold bracelets.
These bracelets are composed of little
box-shaped sections strung together on
a gold wire spring, and so arranged
that the bra elet can be slipped over
the hand with perfect ease, and vet al
Just t>elf closely to the arm when in
place. BY this arrangement trouble
some fastenings are entirely dispensed
with, and there is not the slightest
danger of losing the bracelet from the
arm. In addition to the merits of f,eX-
ibility, durability and elasticity, is the
fact that these bracelets are reversible.
They are equally we'll finished on both
sides, and show two distinct STYLES of
finish, affording two bracelets in one,
For instance, the block pattern sec
tions on one side may present the
'.crackle" or "bark" finish, and on the
other a plain or etched surface; or
again, gems may appear on one side
for evening wear, and a plate surface
on the other for less ceremonious oc-
casions. The bracelets are as readily
turned as are a strand of beads on a
rubber cord, with the advantage of a
durable gold wire coil in place of de-
structible rubber.

Wood That Will Not Make Ships.

There are sixteen species of trees in
America whose perfectly dry wood will
sink in water The heaviest of these
is the black ironwood (condalia ferrea)
of southern Florida, which is more
than thirty per cent heavier than
water. OF the others, the best known
are the lignum vit:e (gualacum sane
tum) and mangrove (hizphora man
elel. Another is a small oak (qGer-
Gus grisea), found in the mountains
of Texas, southern New Mexico and
Arizona, and westward to the Colo
rado desert, at an elevation of 1000 to
1O,COy feet. All the species in which
the wood is heavier than water belong
to tropical Florida or the arid in :
terror Pacific region.

Some Other Heroes.
PeckA Sun

Peck- Sun
There is something wrong in the es-
TEEN in which heroes are held by the
people. That is, the hero worship
seems to be confined to soldiers. Sol
diers who are heroes, who risk their
lives and live. or die, are entitled to
all the taffy that they receive, but there
are other heroes who should be men
toned occasionally. Within the past
two weeks dozen firemen have rushed
into burning buildings to save life and
property, and they have gone down to
more horr. BILE death than soldier
often suffers, and aside from the pub
licatjon of their names in the papers,
spelled wrong, nothing is heard OF
them. 1t is bliss for a soldier to be shot
through the head or heart, in battle,
compared to the death of fireman IN
a burning building. Soldiers who go
into battle once in a lifetime. with a
chance that one cut of forty will be
killed, are brave. There is no doubt
about that, aud the praises that are
sung of them are not out of place. But
almost every day firemen go into more
dangerous places than soldiers ever do.
The soldier who is crippled has rea-
sonable assurance of receiving a pen
sion If he is killed his family gets
the pension, and his body may be
buried in a national cemetery, and a
monument be erected to his memory,
while poets sing and orators crate OF
his bravery. The fireman goes down
with a burning building, his black
ened remains are put in a box, his
brother fremen chip in towards the
funeral, his widow takes in washing to
support the children, and ten chances
to one, if the fireman is killed in the
middle of a month, the common coun-
Gil Of his city kicks on paying his sal
airy beyond the time the walls fell.
There is no pension no monument, no
poem no Grafton, nothing but obliv-
ion The fireman who is ready to risk
his life night or day to save barn
with horse in it, or q house with wo-
men or children in it, and who does
risk his life dozen times each year,
receives about the same pay that po-
lioeman receives who never risks his
life except from sleeping in the open
air. The clerk who measures calico
gets more salary than the fireman. In
most cities these brave and noble men
are on par, in the way of salary, with
the street car conductor. Citizens
who are protected in Their lives and
property by the blue-coated tiremen
do not know one when they meet him,
and they never visit the engine house
to get acquainted. A hero who is as
brave and devoted and as self-sacrific-
ing as any hero of the war may be liv-
ing in two rooms in the same block
with us, using his small salary to sup
port and educate a family of children,
and we don't know there is such a
man We may hear that such a man
has died of consumption, contracted
by hanging to ladder on a burning
building in the most inclement night
| of winter, and aside from being sorry
we do not investigate to see if the
family is left destitute. A fireman is
run over and killed by his engine, and
we have read of his death, and wonder
if we ever seen him. Every city should
pay her firemen well, hire them as
long as they desire to work, and pro
vide for their families when they die.

Meat Food for Nervous PeODle,

Pork is good for nervous people,
but is not easily digested. Wild game
is excellent Fish is good for nervous
people. Eggs BOILED Just enough to
harden the white are easily digest,d.
1t is a mistake about people eating too
much. The majority do not sat
enough. Nervous dyspepsia comes
from working too hard and not eating

from overwork he should eat plenty of
good bread and butter, drink two
quarts of milk day, and eat plenty
of good meat. VIII such a rerson

The true collector, whether of cost
ly curiosities or trash, must have a
touch of madness in his brain or is a
genius in his line, as he applies HIM
self so attentively to the one thing that
his mind becomes brilliant at one
point of action.

Southern paper TO be great snake
fancier, but his fancy gets no farther
than their heads. In his cabin he has
over 1000 heads of snakes and other

his treasures to his visitors as pom
pous, well-fed gentleman is of display

One of the queerest geniuses of the
genus collector is junk dealer on the
West Side. Plying his occupation he
has secured quite number of quaint
and curious things, but he is always
ready to sell any and every thing but
his collection of bottles. He has a
variety that would bring him con-
siderable sum of money were he to dis
pose of them, but this he refuses to do.
He has them piled in fantastic rows in
his back yard and has made the his
tory of every bottle a study. For in
stance, he will point to a bottle that
once contained Aver sarsaparilla, and
will tell in his broken English who Aver
was. how he came to be a manufacture

walking encyclopedia on bottles, and

THE BEST WAY TO ECONOMlZE.

The new county officials will doubt

t'on to do the best they can for the
people. AS, however, they are not
fully informed in county affairs, they
may not know just how to go to work
to economize, where to apply the
pruning knife. The TINES therefore
suggests that their first step be to re-
solve to. have everything that the
county may need done by contract, let
to the lowest bidder. after proper no.
tice publicly given. The care of the
INDECENT sick was let by contract, Sin

least $1,000 year saved right here.
So with the roads. Their mainte-
nance should be let to the lowest re.
sponsible bidder, and the taxpayers
thus relieved of the present enormous
levies for road purposes.
The fuel consumed in the county
Offices and courts should also be OBJ
tanned by contract.
In fact, there is scarcely any de.

where some saving cannot be effected.

BOISE, January Z.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES:
After having spent the holidays-some
among their constituents, large num-
Der visiting the City of the Saints, and
very few remaining at the Capital
all the members of the present session
Of the Idaho Legislature answered to
the roll call Of their respective houses
on Monday, January 9Th. There seems
to be general disposition to make the
most of the last half of the session,
which has now begun, by faithful work
in the interests Of all sections. Those
members who spent the vacation at
home have returned to the capital
well-informed as to the wants and de-
mands of their constituency; those
who visited Salt Lake City gained
some points of interest to an anti
Mormon Legislature, by which title
the Thirteenth Session is designated,
and they all seem to have had sutfi.
cient diversion from the arduous labor
of lawmakers, that the work remain
ing undone will not be task for
them.
1t appears now that every county
has its dozen or 50 'per measures"
which are to be urged, and strange to
say, nearly every one of these finds Il
strong opposition in their native sec.
tons.
Ada county Is urging the passage of
a bill providing for the construction
of wagon road up Boise river to At
lanta, thus securing a market for
grain and produce in that section.
Boise City asks to be allowed to
bond $4,000 of her $4,000 indebt.
edness; also, that the city limits be
extended so as to include the prop.
erty just outside the limits. and to
enable the city to provide for proper
drainage, etc.
Some of the Alturas county people
are talking in favor OF dividing that
county and making two good sized
counties out Of the territory now EN-.
braced. Others think that portion
of Alturas should be added to Ada.
The law passed at the last session
requiring the registration of voters,
appears to have been tried and found
wanting. as it was followed by few
mourners when consigned to its early
grave yesterday.
A bill has been introduced by Judge
Brear.ey prescribing an anti Mormon
oath similar to that already prescribed
for officers, for jurors in all civil or
criminal cases. This is a good move,
and were it provided that a jury could
be drawn from an adjoining county
after the exhaustion of the first venire.
would be a salutary movement, and
would make conviction possible in
Bear Lake county.

the influence of a descending effort to
