VARIOUS MANlAS,
A Noted Justices Positive Cure for Ger
= tain Natural Propensities."

~ HOteu Justicc's fOk1ttve euro Tor Cer-
tain Natural PropensIties."
A great number of madnesses have
been invented in modern times-homi-
cidal mania, suicidal mania, klepto-
mania, dipsomania, and, for aueht I
know, others. These are called mono
manias, the man being sane, except
having strong passion for drink, and
so on. i am not sure a man may not
have two of them. Isuppose that would
be bimana. In Todd's Johnson's Die
tionary. edition of 1927, mania has
the meaning "madness." and a quota
ton is 1.-THE most violent and acute
species of delirium, acting from per-
turbation of the reason and judgment"
"Monomania' is not found in that die
tionary. Now certainly none of the
monomanias | have mentioned answer
this description. Kleptomania is con-
sistent with the greatest calmness and
cunning So are the Others. When the
homicidal maniac indeed proceeds to
action. doubtless he is violent; but he
can take his steps with no appearance of
deirium or want of calmness. 1t has al
ways seemed to me that to call these
propensties manias, and those af-
ilicted with them maniacal, is a mis-
take. Such persons are not wrong in
their minds, but in their passions, ap-
petitites or propensities. The man with
homicidal propensities has strong de-
sire to kill, wholly irrational; that is to
say, an ordinary person can not under
stand the want, either as pleasure to
be had or pain to be got rid Of To
mankind in general such a propensity
is unnatural; but perfectly sane man
may be cursed with an unnatural pro-
pensity. The thing is palmer when we
come to dipsomania and kleptomania.
The former is an Excessive desire for
drink, not, imagine, for the pleaSurc
to be got from, as from the want Of the
craving for it; pain to be got rid of.
Men unhappily have been afflicted with
this whose mental capacity was of the
highest quality. Kleptomania is a
strong desire to steal. l say strong,
because ! dare say many people would
steal but for the possible consequences:
who, having regard to them, do not.
The kleptomaniac is not restrained by
them, the desire with him being too
strong. A learned counsel was address
sing jury for his client charged with
stealing and said she was klepto-
maniac. "Of course, your lordship
knows what that is" ''Oh, yes" said
the Judge, Mr.. Justice Byles, "and
am sent down here to cure it."-Lord
BrdmDeH, IN Nineteenth Century.

DOM PEDRO.
How the Brazilian Emperor Is victimized
by Designing Humbugs.


The prevailing opinion among the
business men in Brazilis that the Em-
peror, Dom Pedro H., is a lovsble old
humbug. Everybody regards the En-
peror with feeling of reverence, and
his character and motives are UNIVERSAL
" respected, but he leaves the cares
of State entirely to the direction of
the Ministers and his half-brother, the
Baron dc Campanema, who has more
influence with the throne than the
Emperor himself. The old man is
wrapped up in philanthropic move-
ments, and is constantly engaged in
doing something for the amelioration
of his fellow men, but he is so easily
imposed upon and his ideas are so inn
practicable that not only are his efforts
wasted, but large amount of money
with which great deal of good might
be accomplished is expended upon
chemical projects that result in no good
to any one except the qualification that
the Emporer enjoys in performing what
he considers to be duty. He is credu-
lous, ingenious and trustful, and no
matter what the reputation is of the men
who Come to him with schemes, he never
fails to be caught by anything that
promises the Improvement or well
fare of his people. He deyotes
almost his entire time to entertain
ing impostors and developing schemes
that are suggested to him by the peo-
pie who used the old mans philanthro-
pic disposition to accomplish their own
ends. The other day he gave fifteen
thousand dollars in order to develop a
patent for the steering apparatus for a
balloon, and he has contributed to sup
port more humbugs, cranks and swind-
lers than any man in South America.
He has a sublime faith in the honesty Of
his fellowmen that no amount of ex-
perience can shake. 1t is said that the
children in the streets know about as
much of the public affairs of Brazil as
the Emperor. Y. Sun.

EFFORT AND RESULT.
A Thing Not Always Valuable In Propor

A Thing Not Always Valuable In Propor-
tion to the Labor 1t Costs.
Effort and result are not always com.
mensurate. 1t takes years of patient
toll to- erect building, which, when
erected, will be the wonder of centu-
ries; the same amount of toll might he
expended in attempting to empty the
Atlantic Ocean, but the labor in this
case would be followed by no fruitful re-
suit II is a mistake TO imagine that a
thing is always valuable in proportion
to the labor that is spent upon it. The
value of diamond is increased by the
labor of the lapidary; but all the filing
and polishing would be valueless if it
were expended upon brick. 1t is the
part of wisdom; therefore, to ask
whether the result will justify the labor
before the long toll is begun, rather
han to rush blindly into it. only to
learn, after years of patient effort, that
life has been spent "laboriously doing
nothing. IS. S. Times.

John Henry, the masher, stood on the

girl to come along, whom he might

from the rural districts came by, and
John Henry thought he had found her.
As she passed he said something about
her being bony but he went after her,
and catching up, he said;
