vagaries Of the Insane.

A lunatic at the Morris Plains Asylum
vas mute for five years. Even the ply
sicians thought he had lost the power
Of speech. One day he caught two of
his fingers in washing machine and
thev were horribly mangled. To the
establishment of everybody who heard
him. he exclaimed: '.By the great and
jumping Moses, q devil is better than
an inventor" That was three years
ago, and he has not spoken since. An
other patient. boy in the same insti-
tuition, is lightning calculator. The
most intricate problems are solved by
him in the fractions Of . minute. The
boy believes that his head Is filed with
little blocks with figures upon them.
and that they instantly fall into different
positions and work out the problems.
He thinks his brain. in fact. is . multi
plication table. His insanity seems
pardonable, for only few sane men
can compete with him as . mathemsti-
cian.--Norristo,0N .Jersevnsan.

How q Connecticut Manufacturer Sue.
ceeded with Imported Cutters.
About four years ago Colonel Frary.
President of the Bridgeport Cutlery
Company, while on . tour through Eu-
rope, visited many of the cutlery estab-
lishments in Germany, Hamburg and
England. The manufacture of razors
being in primitive state in this coun-
try. he decided that he could do no bet
ter than to bring over some of the work.
men to the United States. The work
men in Sheffield, England. were as .
rule, members of the trades unions,
and Colonel Frary had considerable DIFF
ficulty in engaging the men whom he
wanted. A few months later he had
the satisfaction of seeing forty of them
with their families sailing for this coun-
try, accompanied by the secretary OF
the trade union. In Germany and
Hamburg he engaged sixty men, and at
once shipped them and their families to
this country. Separate rooms were fit
ted up for the newly-arrived razor
makers in the shops at Bridgeport, the
Germans being in one part of the works
and the English in another.
Colonel Frary said: Il had great
deal OF trouble with my men at first. l
did not have nearly as much trouble
with the Germans as with the English.
The latter demanded . separate work
room apart from all the other workmen
in the factory. If one of the men in my
employ wanted to enter the room while
thev were at work, they would throw
down their tools and would not resume
their labors until the visitor had closed
the door behind him. Twas the only
man in the entire shop whom they would
let into the room without stopping
work. A peculiar feature about them
was that they would not work after
twelve o'clock noon on Saturdays.
Whatever money was left after buying
the weeks supply the men would 60 on
. spree with until the last cent was
spent, which was usually about Tues.
day morning. American workmen are
the best in the world. ."-New HareH

THE JUNE CRICKET.
In the Madison Square Park.

In the Madison Square Park.
Tented in the short green grass,
While the moon shOne in the sky
A cricket, close to those who pass,
Uttered the old familiar cry.
Little needed he the noise
OF the crowded CITY street,
But blew h s flute with strident voice
Unmindful of the tramp of feet.
Hundreds briskly hurry by.
Listless to the song they pass:
No policeman stops his cry.
Or orders him: keep OF the grass"
Iwho note the steady tune
That he with such relish plays,
Wonder how tn note of June
Came to take the city ways.
Far from native haunts withdrawn,
He sings tho old song at my feet
The prelude of country lawn
Salutes the curious city street.
Rustic scenes are not at hand,
Norippling rivulet wanders near:
Hard it is to understand
This voice in such an atmosphere.
Brave little cricket. pipe away;
Let your blithenesS melt in Songl
'Tis the cheeriest roundelay;
l shall thank you for it long.
Torn from spring-time, robbed Of Juno,
Shut up to the city street,
Much thank you for your tune
Uttered from this strange retreat

The Italian Belle.

In lettering through italian towns
nothing strikes the youthful stranger
more than the extraordinary grace and
beauty of the women, and he naturally
desires to express his gratitude to those
who have lent a new loveliness to life.
In the North this is easy enough. ''How
beautiful she is!'' echoes wherever
small feet fall lightly on the pavement
of any city from Venice to Florence.
and now even to Rome. Dainty little
ears hear the words not unkindly, and
soft, sweet voices will sometimes argue
not quite kindly as to whom they were
intended for. But in Naples we must
be silent and discreet. The noblemen
have revolvers and the lazzaroni long
knives hidden away somewhere out of
sight of the police, but yet within easy
reach. Let the young man be careful.
and. if he must give vent to an admi-
ration too passionate to be silenced. let
him draw his right hand down his face
from the cheekbones to the chin. That
means 20, how lovely she isn and
the slower the movement is, so long as
it is clearly perceptible, the more deep
and lasting is the impression supposed
to be indicated. Every woman, be she
peeress or peasant, understands the
sign. and will 60 home the happier for
having seen it. Whether it was of yore
a symbol of worship for the old Etrus-
cans, we can not tell. 1t is certainly one
of the most sincere forms of alteration
that modern Naples knows.-Saturday

A Wise Comment.

Our special from Atlanta this
morning brings news of the re
ported downfall of a highly re-
spected minister of the gospel in
that city. Such occurrences are
deeply to be deplored. They are
always used by skeptics as argu-
ments against the church, and
very improperly have weight with
certain persons. Ministers are
but frail human beings, and
though less subjected to tempta-
ton because of the nature of their
life works,and better able to with
stand it, because Of their constant
reading o. the word of God and
communion with Him in prayer,
they are not infallible and now
and then fall by the wayside. But
to question the scheme of redemp-
ton because Of the downfall OF
one-of its expounders is as unreas-
enable as to- dispute the efficacy
Of medicine because Of the death
Of a physician by his own NAL
ractice.-Augusta Chronicle.

contracted terrible case of blood poison

my digestion was impaired, my throat was
cauterized five times, and. in fact was a
total wreck / had been under the treat
ment of several of the leading physicians of
Atlanta; tried nearly every blood remedy
advertised; went to Hot Springs where
remained several months, receiving nc
benefit whatever-the dread disease still
clung to me-"
"And you remained in this condition
twelve years?n interrupted the Clipper mar
Yes, sir, and more than that. Three
years ago was LAID up with rheumatism
My knees were drawn up in such position
that could not leave my bed for months
My life became a lingering torture. Atru
ly wonderful blood remedy was recon-
mended, known as B. B. b. fused it, anC
sio, FIVE bottles cured me, and really be
