The Increase of Insanity.

Boston supports 800 insane, says MIR. Il:
B. Sanborn, not 70 of whom will recover
This is frightful! Insanity has IN
creased 40 per cent. in decade and most
of the cases are incurable. Whatever the
individual cause may be, the fact remains
that Uric Acid blood sets the brain on fire,
destroys its tissues, and then comes some
form of fatal lunacy.
Nothing is SO pitiable as mind diseased.
Most brain troubles begin in the stomach |;
then if the blood is filed with uric acid,
caused by failure of kidney action, and the
consequent destruction of the blood life
albumen-you have the fuel and the flame
and brain in full blaze as when one raves,
or in slow combustion, as in milder forms
of insanity. Rev. E. D. Hopkins, Of st.
Johns bury, VT, few years ago was con-
fined in an asylum. He took terrible
cold while aiding in putting out fire in a
neighbours burning house, and for twenty
five years that cold was slowly filling his
blood with uric acid and finally the deadly
work was done. The case looked hopeless
but he happily used Warmers safe cure
and recovered. That was three years ago
and having ridden his blood of ali surplus
uric acid, he has remained well until this
day.
It is indeed terrible thing to. lose ones
mind, but it is more terrible thing to suf-
fer such a condition when it can be SO
easily prevented.

A Queer Cistern.


A citizen employed an Ethiop, who
deyotes himself largely to politics, to
pump out and put in shape six hun
dred gallon cistern. Scipio Hannibal
Jones arranged a spout from the pump
with such a surprising degree of &C
curacy that the water was carried back
into the cistern. Shortly after seven
a. m. he began pumping and kept it
up vigorously during the day, meas
uring the water at intervals and eX-
pressing his disgust with the slowness
with which it went down.. About4 p m.
he called the attention of his employer
to the peculiar phenomenon, with the
remark:
"Look'ee here, boss, dere is some
thing almighty queer about dis here
cistern. Dere must be a ribber or
something comm in at the bottom oh
it, shuah. Use been pumpin' away at
it all day and de blame ting is lebel full
yit. Yes, boss; it am for fac'."-

"MADAME's FOOT"


Feet That Were Admired BY All the
People or Paris.
A foot unnaturally small should be
considered, according to the canons OF
beauty, real deformity; but if it be in
proportion with the frame it supports,
no one W II find fault with its d minu-
tiveness. Karoline Bauer relates the
following story Of a Frenchwoman's
foot: ...ss..
81 he Duchesse de Berri, mother OF thu
late Comte de Chambord whom the
legitimists called Henry ", was not a
beauty, but was both thin and yellow,
and possessed of noticeable squint.
Still she had her charm in the shape OF
q beautiful little foot, spoken OF rever-
emily by all Paris as f'the foot OF Mad
ame."
This little member was always dis
played to the ry bes advantage.
Madame invariably wore short dresses,
that her one beauty might not escape
the public eye, and the marvels OF ho
siery in which the little foot was clothed
were of themselves suffici Mt to attract
the attention Of those to whom high art
would appeal. Ssf
Madame at one time made 3 wager
with her royal father-in-law that she
could drive unrecognized through Paris
in q public omnibus. The disguise tc
be assumed was at her own option.
Attired in the print dress and white
head-gear of grisette, and carrying the
customary large bandbox on her arm,
the duchess waited for her bus and
boldly signaled it.
The omnibus stopped, and the con
ductor let down the small iron ladder,
saying, indifferently, as usual:
"Enter, mademoiselle.
As madame placed her foot upon the
first round of the ladder, tie conduc.
tors wandering gaze ckanced to fall
upon it. A tiny marvel, clad in rose,
colored stockings and enclosed in q
black satin shoe, it was not to be mis-.
taken. l
"Ah, the foot of Madame!' cried the
conductor, snatching Oft his cap ano
making his deepest bow. a-
The Duchess had lost her bet, but
who would venture to declare that, un.
der the circumstances, she was not glad
to lose it?
In the salon of French noblemar
there is still exhibited a strange, sacred
relc-a wonderfully small shoe of white
satin, upon which some drops of blood
are visible. 1t is the shoe worn by the
foot Of madame at the opera, on the
evening when her husband was muir
dered.

The Height of Agony.

Most people the moment they enter a
parsonage to get married become SO
embarrassed they really are hardly con-
scious of what they are doing. One
fellow I heard Of was dreadfully .af1lict-
ed in this way, and without realizing
his act pulled cigar from his pocket
and twirled it around in his hands.
When that portion of the ceremony
was reached in which the lady and gen
tleman join hands he happened to have
the cigar in his right hand. What to
do with that cigar he evidently didn't
know. The clergyman paused for a
moment, and then repeated the instruc-
ton that they join hands. BY this time
the poor fellows embarrassment had in
creased so that it was painfnl to behold
He gave one agonized look at the min
ister and then stuck the cigar in his
mouth. Before the ceremony could be
concluded the minister had to take the
cigar from between his lips Cham
