Freaks Of Insanity.

A lunat:c at the Morris Plains, IN.
j. Asylum was mute for five years.
Even the physicians thought he had
lost the power of speech. One day he
caught two of his fingers in washing
machine and they were horribly
mangled. To the astonishment Of
everybody who heard him he exclaimed:
by the great and jumping Moses, a
devil is better than an inventor" That
was three years ago. and he has not
spoken since. Another patient. boy
in the same institution, is lightning
calculator. and the most intricate prob
lens are solved by him in fractions of a
minute. The boy believed that his head
is filled 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 multiplication table. His insanity
seems pardonable. for only few sane
men compete with him as mathema-
tic:an. Every day he soaks his head in
water to prevent the blocks from rat
Ting. and occasionally he begs for oil
to put into his ears so that the imagin-
ary squares will slip npon each other
more easily.-N I. Tunes.

A Striking Instance of tho Intensity Of
Family Quarrels In Spain.
About year ago gypsy named
Moralis was assassinated at Zerza, in
the province of Caceres, by one Of his
comrades named Silra. The latter was
in due course tried and condemned to
death. but his execution did not satisfy
the vengeance of the victims family.
There had been ill-feeling between the
two families for three years. but there
had been no open quarrel until the muir
der of Moralis. Soon after the execu-
ton of the murderer, which took place
last month, the two families met on
their return from fair near the town
of Caceres. They had their mules and
cattle with them. There were about
fifty on each side, including women
and children. A regular pitched battle
ensued, revolvers. knives. and sticks
being freely used by the men. while
the women employed their nails with
considerable effect, and the children
threw stones indiscriminately. The
result of the struggle was that the
heads of the two families were both
killed, two of the women, and several
of the children. There were ten or
twelve wounded. and the bodies of the
dead were horribly mutilated. If the
mounted police had not interrupted the
fight, there would have been many more
lives lost. Several of the mules were
killed, and the baggage of the two
families was strewn about in such dis
order that the road for nearly half
mile looked as if q large army had
beaten . retreat along it.-Madrid Let

A CRANK.

There was long haired man in the

me tell you story. l owned a farm
many years ago down East. One day
l noticed a longhaired man walking
around my place in very queer way.
l asked him what he was doing and he
said he was just looking around little.
But he was there again the next day
and the next. Finally insisted on his
telling me what he wanted. and he
said: Well, farmer. there's buried
treasure under your farm, and I've been
trying to locate the best place to dig for
it. I've found the place, and now I'll
make a bargain with you. You do the
digging and we'll divide the treasure
equally between u.s. l agreed and
went to digging where he told me to.

putting that hole down, notwithstand-

and called the man q long-haircd

you for" laughed one of the younger
passengers.

DOWN TO THE SEA,

] know not what It's course may be
Down from tho mountain to the sea:
The spring know, alone and still,
where bu 1bleS forth little rill.
The clear, brown streamlet well l know,
Am now its hurrying waters dow.
At first the grasses turn to make
A softer runnel for its sake;
The careless buttercup looks down
And sends petal to the town,
As. whispering to the happy day,
The brook sets forth upon its way.
Farther, bright pebbles line its bed
And CLEAN and glance beneath its tread
II rushes through the alder shade
Nor loiters for the open glade.
Down swift cascades it flies and sings
Shakes the white spray in airy wings;
Through the cleft rock its waters pour.
The solid basin far below
Is followed wide beneath its how.
Here for a space it stops. to gain
New volume for the open plain.
At length. full-swellfng. broad and free,
1t sets serenely toward the sea.
Beside the green, dark pool wait,
Stayed by thy warning hand, o Fate.
I may not follow. though hear
The sirens song within my ear;
Nor may, for me, the motion stay
ThRt rolls the river on its way.
only Snow its path must be
AoSh from the mountain to the sea.
The brook that lightly sped away
Lies weltering ocean-wide to-day.
The child. whose days were bound with min,
Is tossed and torn on lifes cold brine.
