Cities which have suffered in former visitations are especially terrified, and forbid the coming into their limits of any refugees from infected places. Armed forces guard the roads leading into Mem phis nightly. There are 13 picket sta lions and detail of six men for each sta tion. The board of health authorities have placed restrictions on the railroads.

Who is Never crazyP

There are many firm believers In
the theory that most people are crazy
at times, and facts seem 10 support
their belief. The following, from a
a source unknown to the writer, will
likely remind a number of our readers
Of some incident in their experience,
which seemed nc the time OF its oc-
currence most unaccountable 20 them !;
IA wise man will step backward
off a porch or into a mud puddle, a
great philosopher will hunt for the
specks that are in his hand or on his
forehead, a hunter will sometimes
shoot himself or his dog. A work
ing-girl had been feeding a great
clothing knife for ten years. One
day she watched the knife come down
slowly on her hand. Too late she
woke out Of her stupor with one hand
gone. For few seconds her mind
had failed, and she sat by her ma
chine a temporary lunatic, ind had
watched the knife approach her own
hand. A distinguished professor was
teaching near a canal. Walking along
one evening in summer he walked as
deliberately into the canal as he had
been walking along the path a second
before. He was brought 20 his sens
es by the water and mud and the alb
surdity Of the situation. He had ON
new suit Of clothes and "A new silk
hat, but though the damage was thus
great, he still laughs over the adven-
ture. Our mail collectors fnd in the
iron boxes along the streets all sorts
of papers and articles which have
been put i'm by some hand from whose
motions the mind has become detach-
ed for a second. A glove, pair Of
spectacles, a deed, a mortgage,
theater ticket, goes in, and on goes
the person, holding on to the regular
letter which should have been depos-
tied. This is called absent-minded-
ness, but is brief lunacy. ."-Scien-
