Patients of an Insane Asylum.

A half dozen queer people were sent to
the County Insane asylum at a single sit
ting Of the Brooklyn, n. Y, city court.
One woman habitualiy piled her furni-
ture in a heap, and rs regularly thrashed
her landlord when he called for her rent
Another believed that the doctors who
were attending her had been dead and
had returned from the grave. A third be-
lieved that she was being gradually re-
duced to infantile weakness by a course
of sophisticated food, while a fourth al
ways saw strange animals crawling over
her bed clothes when she lay down at
night. One male patient was in constant
dread OF rats, and in search OF the pied
Piper" for assistance, while another De-
lieved h.rself to be dead, and declined to
speak further than to insist that 1t was
all wrong 70 expect a dead person to an
swer questions or carry on a converse

what passengers consider curiosities. 1t
is impossible to question that a very large
promotion Of the odd things we buy
abroad may be had for half the money In
the English manufacturing town from
which they are exported. 1t is or course
disappointing that the silver bangles you
bought at Durham as specimens of native
fashion and industry should prove pure
Brummagem; that your bundle OF asSe-
gals should have formed part of q recent
consignment from Sheffield, and that the
elegant Hindoo necklace that you pur-
chased after much bargaining from a
wandering Mussulman, newly arrived at
| Cape Town from Delhi, should be easily
obtained at any English jewelers. shop.
where 1t is offered as a genuine bit OF
British manufacture for 81 l5s Sd. less
than you paid the duSky Mahommedan
gentleman who declared himself "fraish
from Del-hee, sare."
1t is disappointing, I say; but still,
though you have been cheated, there is
something TO show, and then, again, there
is the coloring and tina sentiment that
even rubbish will take from distance and
travel and the association of far-off places.
But what is to be thought Of the curios-
ity-monger who will bring off an Old stone
from an island sooner than come away
empty-handed? A German passenger on

we're no curiOSities to be purchased at rs

had ruined a pair of boots, which he told

master, from whom | had caught q grin

sand walked away, las bought a dawg at

nus i'll be the kitchen chimney next

1nH Ill be the kitchen chimney next
door, said my brother. ave must ex-
plore that" Our landlady was consider
ably amazed when we presented ourselves
and asked to be allowed to explore. After
a little demur, however, she consented.
There was but a small fire In the CRATE,
| and this was taken out.
II don't make it up until II o'clock at
night she explained. BOT until my
master comes home tired after his days
work. Then we have our bit Of supper
and drink our grog, and we like to see a
cheerful blaze. But in the day I don't
trouble about It" The boy went up
smartly and shortly re-appeared.
why, you've got a smoke-j jack up there,
missis," said he.
What's a smoke jack'" said my brother
hastily. The sweep explained.
"It's a ~h-apparatus for roasting meat,
fixed in the chimbley. 1t has little sails
like, just like a windmill, only they are
laid fiat instead of being upright. The hot
air comes up from the fire and blows
these sails round. Then there's a cog
wheel that communicates the motion to q
ly-wheel. A chain'passes round the fly
wheel, coming down to the CRATE, and
turns the spit"
But where are the chains?"
"Oh, they've been taken off, l suppose.
1t isn't used now"
II didn't know it was there" said our
landlady.
Doesn't it make a noise;" asked my
brother, with a quick look at mt.
ave don't hear it" replied the landlady
indifFerentIy.
"Wil," said my brother, "just run back
to the bedroom and listen. l believe
we've got it. am going to send the boy
up to turn the thing" l did as he re-
| quested. When l got into the room, the
ghost was groaning in splendid form. He
was going far faster than l had ever
heard him before.
The mystery was solved.
During the day the current Of hot air
was not strong enough to act on the
blades and set the revolving portion of
the machine in motion. But when the
CRATE fire was made up at night the force
was ample. The revolving portion of

the blades of the jack descend. The revo-
buttons become gradually slower and
slower. The pivot bearing had no lubri-
cation, and consequently made the groan-
ing noise.
We kept our secret. We were the ad-
miration of every n who knew the
story of the house. And for a very sub
