THE ONE WHO STAYS AT HOME.

= 4 Z v 49, $50 { .
The wheels of the world 60 round and round,
In the press Of a busy throng,
Morn with its matin melody
And night with it's vesper song;
The tides are out and the tides are in,
Like the sea in it's ebb and flow,
For there's always one to stay at homo
Where there is one to go.
Abroad on the highways noisy track
There is rush Of hurrying feet,
The sparks fly out from the wheels of Time
To brighten the bitter and sweet;
But apart from the beaten road and path,
Where the pulse of earth runs slow,
There is always one to stay at home
Where there is one to 60.
Over and over good-byes are said,
In tests that die with the day,
When eyes arc wet that can not forget,
And smiles have faded away:
Smiles that are worn as over grave,
Flowers will blossom and blow;
For there's always one to stay at home
Where there is one to go.
Always one for the little tasks
OF day that is never done;
Always one to sit down at night
And watch with the stars alone
And he who fights on the worlds broad field
With banner and blast and drum,
Little dreams of battle gained
BY the one who stayed at home!

Many anecdotes are narrated to Nus.

trate the tact required in dealing with
lunatics. Among the inmates of an
asylum near Philadelphia was q man
who was considered perfectly harmless,
but who, having no home was allowed
to remain there, being employed to
show visitors around. The doctor went
on the roof with him one day to see
about repairing it, when the man sud-
denly turned and suggested that they
should jump down to the ground
together. Immediately the doctor re-
piled: mo, don't let's do that. Any
one can jump down. Let's go down
and see if we can jump ,p. !" The
lunatic considered the point .'well
taken, and agreed.
1t is almost impossible to tell in many
cases whether lunatic is cured or not.
There used to be q man in Staunton,
Va, who had intermittent attacks of
insanity. He always knew when they
were coming. and would return to the
asylum in good time for treatment.
When a wedding was announced to take
place, he would volunteer to collect
the hundred dozen eggs necessary for
the wedding cake, but always with the
proviso that. he was not ''in limbo
when the time came.
The head of a private asylum in En-
gland was in the bathroom watching
q number of lunatics battle, when one
of them called out: Lets duck the
doctor, = and they all took up the cry
Seeing his danger, the doctor said at
once: 'All right boys, but suppose
you give a cheer for him frst;'' and the
noise of their cheering brought the
keepers in To his rescue. The same
doctor was in a room with lunatic
who by some means had possessed HIM
self of a carving-knife. The lunatic
informed him gravely that he had been
ordained by God to cut him into little
pieces, and much as he regretted it, he
should be obliged to do it. Very
WE'LL" said the doctor, .'of course, if
that is the case, / shall make no attempt
to prevent you, but I see your knife
needs sharpening. Allow me to fetch
a grindstone for you.' And no objcc-
ton being raised, the quick-witted doc
tor made his escape.
1t is a curious fact that raving
maniacs are never attacked by any
contagious disease. Even consumptive
disorders, dropsies. and other chronic
maladies have disappeared on the ac-
cession of violent insanity. At least
two-thirds of the inmates of insane
asylums in England are paupers; but
that. probably, is no evidence as to the
prevalence of lunacy among the poor,
because in their higher ranks of life
lunatics are frequently cared for at
home. The greatest number of recov-
cries from mental disorders occur
between the ages Of twenty-five and
thirty five. being the period Of life
when the greatest physical energy sub
sists.-M 7. Evesing Post.

lated Portions of Arizona.
DR.. II. f. G. ten Kate of the Hemen-
way Archaeological Expedition, now
searching the ruins in Arizona for evil
dences of the character, habits and his
tory Of the prehistoric people that once
densely populated the ella Valley,
made a pleasant call at this Office.
The doctor has spent some considera-
bic time recently on the Pima Indian
reservation in comparing the charac-
teristics of the present tribe with those
found in the ancient ruins, but his con-
illusions do not encourage. any theory
of relationship between them. The
skeletons unearthed are too short in
stature and more closely resemble the
Pueblo or Zuni Indians Of New Mexico.
They were evidently Of a higher order
Of intelligence than the Pueblos or
Zunis of to-day, and notably in the re-
markable perfection they achieved in
agriculture, as. shown by the extensive
aqueducts ramifying the whole country,
did they excel all other Indians and
many of the civilized nations Of to-day
DR.. ten Kate has given considerable
attention to photographs, the SYMBOL
cal hieroglyphics cut or painted upon
the rocks in the hills skirting the
valley. These are particularly 'plenti-
full in the Estrclla Mountains near the
ella crossing, whore many caves are
also found strewn with broken pottery,
having probably been sacrifcial offer
ings to Deity. These caves and
painted rocks are nearly always
found in juxtaposition, and even
on Poston butte, 1T this place, some of
them may be seen. The hieroglyphics
are sketched by Dr. ten Kate, aud to
an ordinary observer they are utterly
devoid of meaning, but may yet be de-
eiphered. They are mostly of animal
forms, but circles, volutes, crosses and
other forms indescribable are often
found among them. These were
scratched with some hard instrument
upon the black, weatherstained face Of
the granite rocks, forming white, in
dclible record.
The doctor also Investigated the eye
sight, color blindness and muscular
strength Of the Pima Indians and made
collections of their modern handiwork
for comparison with those rescued
from the ruins. He found no tradition
among these Indians bearing upon the
identity Of the prehistoric people. the
cause Of their departure. nor whittier
they went, and therefore concludes
that they existed at an age more re.
mote than is popularity supposed.
DR.. ten Kate has gone to Tucson to
continue his Investigations among the
Papago Indians at San Xavier and to
the south, and the result Of his 70
searches will bring to light many inter
esting facts. even though they throw
but little light upon the prime object
Of his Investigations. Florence "a. r.
