with me?'
''Yes, spoke to my wife about it last night
and she said as was drunk all the time, any
how it was refreshing to know that was going
where something might happen to me-shoot
myself, or get drowned, you know"
"Nice pleasant party, your wife,"

Epidemics Of Insanity.

from the chicago Journal
1T does not seem possible that lunacy can
run in cycles, or in the moon as the world
has been taught to believe for centuries. but
there are many facts constantly presenting
themselves to corroborate such a theory"
The speaker was an experienced attendant of
the county asylum for the insane, and urged
him to disclose the seeming proofs to which he
alluded.
We'll" continued he, II have noticed In
this institution and in others where l have
served that epidemics of insanity have pre-
vailed without to such degree that, whereas
arrivals from the courts to the ASYLUM had for
long time been few. there would suddenly be
perfect run on the institution, taxing its
capacity to the utmost Then a long era Of no
arrivals would follow and the cures and deaths
would reduce the pressure for space till an
other cycle sent the poor insane victims upon
US for another period till the clouds rolled by'
again. But stronger than all are cycles within
cycles which those caring for the insane have
noticed-that is. where different kinds of in
sanity and cases arising from specific causes
have prevailed in punches. so to speak At one
time criminal or homicidal madness will be .on
the co. then madness from religious excite
ment; then from domestic unhappiness; then
from overwork Of the brain. or brain feyers.
and then from love and blighted affections. 1t
Is really strange, at least, the way insanity
crops out at stated periods in a community.
and stranger still that its different forms are
made so distinct in their respective classes at
set times. The condolences are indeed so re-
markable as to give color to the theory of
cycles held by many"

speetors Smith. Maxwell and Troy. arrested at
the city post-ofice Frank w. Adams, a clerk.
on the charge Of taking and opening letters
placed in the mail. II having been reported
that number of letters posted here had borne
evidence of having been tempered with, the in
spectors took up the task of finding who wss at
work on them and for what purpose Last
night Adams, who is a tall, neat-looking young
man, hailing from Mechanicsville, st. Mary's
county, Nd, was suspected and taken in Gus
tody. The inspectors questioned him as to how
many letters he had tempered with, and he adj
mitted that he had in opening one so mutt
lated u that he destroyed it. and he had opened
another. and hndIng no money in il he had re-
scaled 1t and place q it back in the mails On

that he was twenty-one years of age; that he
was appointed to a position in the city post
office under civil-service rules. and that he
came from Mechanicsville, Md, where his
parents reside. When questioned as to his
habits he said he was addicted only to dancing
OF which he was passionately fond, and that
balls. hops. &c, cost him more than his salary
could afford, and tempted him to looking in
letters for money.

Governor Biggs and the Bible.

From the Wilmington Morning News,
Governor Biggs, it is well known, is a great
admirer OF Moses of Biblical fame, whom he
quotes upon every appropriate and inappro-
pirate occasion. At the recent meeting of the
trustees of Delaware college they were discuss
ing one of the applicants for the position Of
director of the agricultural experiment station
One trustee objected to the applicant some
thing after this fashion:
Now, think this man is united for the
position for one reason-that is his personal
appearance. He is too small. We ought to have
would add dignity to the office and create a
good impression"
whereupon Governor Biggs arose and spake
about like this:
Il do not think it makes a particle Of differ
ence. mans stature or his personal appear
ance should not stand in his way if he is capa-
BILE and fitted for the position. Little men have
accomplished a great deal in the world For
instance, there was Moses, who slew Goliath"
All the trustees broke out in a chorus of
laughter, which plainly told the governor with
out asking that he had got his facts mixed
somehow.

How Do You Part Your Hair?

From the San Francisco Call
ION the right, if you please" said the re-
porter to tonsorial artist, who, brush and
comb in hand, was about to part his hair on the
left side Of the head.
"All right, sir" remarked the barber, "was
going to part it on the other side from force Of
habit"
How many people part the hair on the right
side?'
should say less than one in twenty"
And why do so many men part it on the left
side?'
Because" replied the artist, brushing back
stray lock, They've been brought up to it
from infancy. mother facing her boy always
holds the comb in her right hand. and, II being
easiest to comb the hair from left to right
she parts it on the left. The boy when he
grows up and is able to comb his own hair
finds the part ON that side and follows the line
marked out by his mother. That's why the
majority Of men part ON the left"

HOY THE YOUNG LOVER CAN MAKE y1rxxps
WITH THE DREADED BULLDOG.
From Our Dumb Animals
A good many people are bitten BY dogs.
when very few need be. In the FIRST place,
people should not NEEDLE with dogs who do
not know them. Every now and then some
body startles . dog by laying strange hand
upon him, pokes him with a stick or pushes
him with the foot and sis bitten by n vicious
dog. Why not let the dog alone? There are
people with the bad habit of meddling with
what does not concern them and there are
children who have been taught no better than
10 touch. II they can, whatever takes their
fancy. These are the people bitten by dogs.
Not once in ten thousand times does a dog mo-
lest person who minds his own business. no
matter how Grabbed the dog may be.
IL, however, You are bound to approach and
touch dog, do it properly. There is only one
way: 1t Is this: Put out your hand easily and
confidently to the dog, so that he may smell it,
Put 1t to his nose. If he shifts at il and ways
his tail, or otherwise shows friendliness, then
you may speak to him and pat him on the head
II you IKE, and perhaps use other familiari-
Ties. But H. when you offer your hand, the
dog remains sullen and passive, tie sooner you
take your hand away the better. Never ap-
proach a strange dog with either timidity or
menace: But, as We have said, the best way is
to let all strange dogs alone, and get any de-
sired information about them from those who
have the honor of their personal friendship.
