A Place for the Criminal Insane.

Judge Mitchell in Philadelphia, has re-
fused to permit Emma Bickel to be dis
charged from the Norrstown insane asy-
lum, where she has been held since she
was acquitted of killing William Menow,
on the ground of her insanity at the time.
The fact is, undoubtedly, that she was
not insane then and is not now. The
hospital physician says that her condition
of mind is the same as it was when She
c;tme to the asylum.
But Notwithstanding she is sane, it is
right that she should be detained in
custody as insane, because of her homi-
cidal propensity and in respect to the ver-
diet of the jury. Judge Mitchell says that
she should be detained until there shall he
evidence of a substantial change in her
condition. This can hardly occur in her
case, because she probably never was in-
sane, the jury to hecontrary ynotwithstand-
standing. But she should he kept in Gus
tody for term of years that will settle
this question certainly.
Judge Mitchell suggests that there should
be places of confinement furnished for the
criminal insane. This is a need that the
state has long felt. The legislature should
supply it at once.

LET THESE THINGS BE coSsIpEREp.

Thousands of men die every day who could DC

loss OF life. II IL were believed that the sum OF
disease may certainly be reduced by physic
much would be gained. And yet the proposition
is very simple II you take out daily more i'm
purities than Is daily genemtcd you will soon
be rid of impurities The effect of this wise
practice Is soon seen In Bilious, Liver and Kid
ney troubles. But II is equally OF value in head
and brain affections in Pleurisy, Pneumonia
Apoplexy and Paralysis.
In chronic and acute Rheumatism and in all
affections of the bowels, this principle soon re.
licyes and cures, when the medicine used T.

Yes, when all other means and medicine have
failed to relieve from pain, these pills have
cured, by taking impurities from he bowels and
blood, and thousands of men aud women now

We Can Paddle Our Own Came.

We agree entirely with our esteemed
contemporary, the Na0 Era, in what it
says of the care and education of the
homeless and friendless," in praise of the
Children's Home of this city, and the man
agement of "this unsectarian Orphanage,
where the friendless and destitute of every
race and creed are taken i'm and tend rly
cared for and educated, and whose intlu-
ences follow them even after they have left
its hospitable shelter. To strive to increase
this homes sphere of usefulness should be
duty with our local lawmakers"
We part company from our local contem-
porary and from the Columbia Spy, when
they urge that san effort should be made by
our representatives and senators to secure
state aid also, in order to enlarge the
homes sphere of usefulness.
For the very reason that so many like
demands, and for institutions less desery-
ing, are made upon the state, we trust our
representatives will ask for nothing Of the
kind, but will stand up stiff against the
others. There needs to be inaugurated an
entirely new system Of voting state aid to
charities, and we hope to see Lancaster
county's members lead in thework and not
embarrass 1t by asking for any favors, nor
engaging in the log-rOlling that would be
necessary To secure them. Our county can
easily afford to keep up its home and to
demand that other communities shall not
take our money and the states to main-
tain their local and private charities. If
our members go into the general scramble,
their votes for local appropriation will be
made a cover for twenty votes for appro-
priations to remote and undeserving objects.
Let them keep clear of it.

he centered at any given threatened point in

gests that the federal government should
uniform the national guards arm it the same
as the regular army, and place it annually in
camp. This recommendation seems to have
about it too much of the flavor of centraliz-
alton. The state should be able to properly
take care of its own militia, and while it
might gain in efficiency by national aid, it
would certainly lose that element of state
entity which is the chief reason for its exis-
tence.

was not burned, but the letter was part of

The postscript is fatal one. II is too

THE Liquor Dealers association of Phia-
delphia will make a great mistake if they
persist in trying to secure the repeal of the
wholesome and necessary law which pro-
vides that the court of quarter sessions may,
for cause, revoke license. Licenses are
granted in Philadelphia by the commissioners
very freely and as matter of course. They
are granted to many unfit persons, and the
power of the court to revoke them for cause

rigidly exercised than it is at present Any
attempt to abolish this power will meet with
popular resistance that may even lead to an
enlargement of il.

Sawdust for bedding,


The prevalence of steam portable saw mills
i'll some sections of the country has given
rise To the practice of utilizing the sawdust
for bedding purposes Sawdust of itself pos
soSSes no very great fertilizing value until il
has passed to decay, aud then il valuable
only in proportion to the ash contained
therein. But practice has demonstrated that
its use tor bedding for animals serves not
only the purpose of keeping animals neat and
clean, but wise, valuable purpose of absorb
ing the urine and liquid portions of the ma
nure, which otherwise are liable to wastei
Sawdust will take up large amount of urine
and being mixed with the solid manure dis
mtegrates 1t and reduces it to more pulVer-
ant state and so much better adapted for gen
eral use. 1t is much sought after by some to
he used in the horse stable, and is considered
superior to anything that can be used.
Poultry in Winter.
II any returns are looked for from fowls in
Winter they must have proper attention.
They must be kept in comfortable quarters
and fed judiciousiy. There is no animal that
is more susceptible to cold than common
fowls. Turkeys and geese will probably en-
dure greater degree Of cold, but hens will
fail To respond in the line of egg production
if left to shift for themselves. In moderately
cool weather young fowls may become ac-
custoined to open sheds, but ON the approach
of winter they should be provided with quar-.
ters that are clean, pure, bright and CHEEKY
within and unless the same are provided.
or if left exposed to too great cold, they will
lose flesh and their vigor be much impaired
and 50 poorly prepared TO resist severe cold.
Food should be provided in sufficient quan.
tity and consist of a healthy variety. All oi
the varieties of grain furnish good food, and
it is change or variety that goes far towards
inducing prolific laying. In connection with
| the dry grains, hens like green food, rs chop.
| ped apples, onions orcabbage. Warm mesSes
should also be provided for them, aud NAV
| consist of boiled potatoes, mashed. with mea
| mixed, or of scaldcd meal alone. In eithel
| case do not forget To put in a sprinkling o
| pepper or mustard. Throw in refuse scraps
| OF meat or tallow and they will be greedily
devourcd. Nor should the broken bone,
and shells he forgotten, since upon them egg
| production depends. Ashes and sand should
| be provided and kept dry, so that the fowl.
may enjoy sand bath occasionally and pre-
vent the development of vermin.
