A VALUABLE EXPERIMENT.

VALUABLE EXPERIMENT. An experiment has been going on in Massa- I chusetts for about three years which deserves the thoughtful attention of all interested in
 social problems. About three years ago Mrs. , N. A. Leonard of Springfield, then mem- Der of the State board of health, lunacy and charity. persuaded that board to ask for, and the legislature to grant, authority to place ''insane persons of the chronic and quiet class, :" wherever they might be. found, at board as ordinary inmates of private families in Massachusetts. Under this authority one hundred and eighty-one lunatics have been placed in private families, and the result has
 been very encouraging.
 In the first place the plan has paid, in pecuniary way. is calculated that the total saving to the State thus far has been 3,510. And an inspector who has lately visited many of the lunatics who are s'boarded out" finds that the change in their physical and mental condition is much great CT than can be expressed in dollars and cents. He has visited eighty of these persons within the last ten weeks, being in twenty-two cities and towns of Massachusetts and New Hamp- ] shire, and has found them on the whole much more comfortable and much better provided for with the essentials of comfort 5 for persons in their condition than they form erly were in the asylums. One of them, who spent years in a hospital using up her little ! store of earnings for the price of her board, | is now earning $8 week at general house. work in one of the incest families of western | Massachusetts,; another, who had a similar I hospital experience, except that the State | supported him, is now earning his own nv- ing at his trade and spending his Sundays with his family; another. a morose, sus- picious man in the hospital, is cheerfully having for the farmer with whom he boards on the Hampshire county hills; another who
 had lost the use of tools and utensils, is learn- | ing to be neat at the table and handy on the | farm; women who were 8 nuisance to them selves and others in the asylums, are now neatly clad and behaving properly in the kindly family circle, for which they have ex- i changed the noisy ward and crowded dormi- ! tory of great almshouse. Some are in the | large, neat farm houses of the hill towns,
 some in humble cottages, some in city
 houses, but all under kindly authority and most of them training in habits of industry
 and good order. With few exceptions they | prefer the home where they are to the hospi- | tai they came from. And it is declared that l if it were publicly proposed to send back to l that almshouse the 40 or 50 insane or partial | ly recovered men and women now boarding I in families, who have formerly been inmates
 of Tewksbury, there would be one cry of pro-
 test from these poor persons and their friends | from one end of Massachusetts tothe other. The boarding out system has long worked | well in Scotland, where two thousand luna- tics are thus treated. If it works we'll in
 Scotland and in Massachusetts why would it | not work well in Connectieuti

A man riding on one of the Baltimore street cars complained that he was insulted by the driver and told the latter he would report him. The passenger remained on the car until about block away from the companY's office when he got of and hurried toward the office with the intention of reporting the driver and then resuming his trip on the cars. Meanwhile the driver jumped off, followed the passenger and assaulted him. The latter thereupon sued the compsny for damages. The, Court of Appeals assumed that the con-. pany would be liable if the person was passenger at the time that he was assaulted by the driver. But was he passenger in view of the fact that he had left the carr The court held that he was not and hence that the company was not liable. The rule it laid down is that passenger has right to ride to the terminus of the line if he chooses. It added that he may also leave the car tempoa rarily and return to it provided he gives the conductor notice of his intent and the cou- ductor assents h such case his right to continue his ride is not forfeited and he re- mains a passenger even when off the car. But if he leaves the car without such notice it is to be assumed that he has terminated his trip.

The Panama canal company has not been supposed to be particularly lucky, but it has done well enough in it's own lottery. At the first drawing of the lottery eleven prizes were drawn amounting to SIPS, s,000. Of these six, to the amount of $122. 800, were drawn by the company on account of the shares not subscribed for, but retained in the compa- ny's treasury, and the bondholders drew five prizes of the amount of $5,200. The com- pany was lucky also in the drawing of bonds for payment. Fifty were drawn, and of these 26 were the company's and 8 were held by subscribers.
