IsMaegr Beer an IntOxicant?
Harper's Magazine.

A stone-cutter whose Office adjoined
his his stone-yard, was seated in his office
when friend called upon him, and they
discussed several topics together, among
Them the question as to what extent lager
beer was an intoxicant. The stone cutter
maintained that beer was not intoxicat-
ing, while his friend maintained the OPP
posite. The stone-cutter said, there is a
man at work in the yard pointing to
brawny- chested Germany who could
drink bucket three gallons) of beer at
one sitting and feel none the worse for
1T. The friend doubted, and wager was
made and the workman called, who, when
asked if he could drink that bucket point
ing to a large water bucket) full of beer
at one sitting, replied, 'Vell, don'd
know; lets you know after while" The
German went away, and after remaining
away for some time, returned, and said,
Eyes lean trink dot peer" The bucket
of beer was procured and placed before
the German, who very soon absorbed the
last drop, and arose from his sest, wiping
his mouth with his sleeve, and was walk
ing away with a fine step, when his en-
plOyer recalled him and said to him, "See
here, my friend and I have some curiosity
to know why you did not drink the beer
when you were first asked" The Ger
man replied, ''Vell, don'd know dot I
could trink it, so Z went out and trink a
bucked, den l know I could do it,

A Sane Man in a Mad-HOuse.

Proceedings have been begun in Phila-
delphia to secure the discharge from the
Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane of
Clifford J. Maxwell, who has been confn
ed as lunatic for three and a half years.
When the proceedings were begun Max
well was temporarily released from the
asylum and he has gone to Atlantic City
to await summons TO the trial of the case.
The Philadelphia Record says that Max
we'll is about 80 years of age, Ph1ladel-
phian by birth, and son of Rev. Gorden
Maxwell, who was for many years pastor
of the Emanuel Protestant Episcopal
church in Kinsington. He inherited a
fortune of over $4,000 from his grand
father, who was one of the foremost of
Philadelphia merchants at a time when
the port almost mOnOpOlized the mer-
chant trade of the Atlantic coast. He
received his education at West Point, but
a military life had no charm for him, and
after spending some time in seeing the
world he married young lady who was
teacher in the boarding school of her aunt,
Mrs. Carey at the corner of Sixteenth and
Spruce streets. This was about eight
years ago. For several years after the
marriage the couple lived happily togeth-
er and had born to them a little girl. who
soon became her fathers especial favorite
and pride. When the child died the
father was FRUSTRATED to an extent whic h
gave his friends the keenest anxiety about
his health.
Shortly afterward Mrs. Maxwell took a
step which astonished those who had OBJ
served the apparently happy life of her
self and her husband. She called in two
physicians, and after making an examina-
ton they signed certificate of the in
sanity of Clifford Maxwell. Upon this he
was committed to "Kirkbridge's." He
protested against the commitment, but
not having fully recovered from the
shock of his daughters death, his protests
were feeble and easily overridden. Ar
rived at the institution he soon made it
evident to the attending physician that he
was certainly not dangerous lunatic, al
though his wife had justified her course
by declaring that she was "afraid to live
with him." 1t is said that one time he
did have temporary alterations, in which
he had the delusion of being haunted or
pursued by something more tangible than
misfortune. His friends recently became
convinced that he was perfectly sane, and
that his imprisonment was uni ustlfable.
They therefore secured the services of
lawyer, and the hospital authorities de-
clared that they had no objection to let
Mr.. Maxwell leave whenever his wife gave
the word. In order to have the matter
iudicially determined, writ of habeas
corpus was taken out. The case was post
poned for two weeks. Mr. Maxwell is in
the enjoyment of large income from a
trust company of which has charge.

ANEGLECTED SPOT.
The Cypress Shaded Enclosure Where Shelley s
Heart Rests.
Journal of Commerce.

"Shelley?" asked the man in charge of
the Protestant cemetery at Rome, when
we appeared at the gate on a recent beau
tiful afternoon. 1t is the only English
word besides "Keats" that he can pro-
nounce correctly. Three years ago the
same man put the same question to US.
We again answered yes For with
many others of the English speaking
race we took sad pleasure in visiting the
grave of those two gifted unhappy beings.
Shelley's heart alone rests in the cypress
shaded Enclosure which is now full of
graves. The rest of his body, it may be
remembered, was reduced to ashes on a
funeral pyre in the presence Of Byron and
others at that spot on the shore of Spezzia
bay, where the drowned poet had been
cast up by the waves. AS this is an age
of monuments to neglected genius, was
curious to see if anything had been done
for Shelley by his ardent admirers since
1888. No! there is the cid small stone
flat on the earth looking moldier than ever.
The inscription "Concordium" is filled
with dirt. A weed looking like burdock
grows rankly about the grave. There is
not a flower near it unless one should
count in withered and blackened rose
on the center of that dingy marble slab.
This may have been lying there for two
or three months. I dare say fragments
will be found there year hence unless
the wind blows them away. For it is evil
dent that Shelley's tombstone is never
swept and cleaned except by the elements.
Trelawney the e'1ong friend and staunch
defender of the poet rests beside him.
He died at the age of SO and Shelley at 80.
In standing beside these two graves,
equally destitute of human care, one
pays tribute to friendship as well as to
genius.
Another old man-Severn- sleeps along
side of young Keats. Their graves stu
ated in free and windswept place, out
side of the stuffed cemetery, are well car
ed for. The same good people who put up
the exquisite portrait of Keats in alto re-
lievio against the wall of the portal and
erected the tombstone in memory of Sew
ern doubtless provided for the proper at
tention to the graves. The wall near by is
thick with climbing roses. Daisies, but
tercups, and some other flowers not so
familiar with US star the lush grass on
every side. A trim hedge incloses the two
who in death as in life were not divided.
Keats sleeps under the shadow of laurel
tree, which has grown much III the last
three years and still supplies leaves in
abundance to be plucked as souvenirs.
As we stood there and watched the sharp
shadow of the pyramid of Cestlus slowly
creeping toward US the spell was broken
by the harsh voice of man at my elbow.
''What a shame he said. ''that such an
epitaph should be allowed to stand above
such gravel" I turned and saw an
Englishman. He referred, of course to
the bitterness of the inscription abiding
to the savage criticism which doubtless
