The difficulty in distinguishing an insane
from n sane man, particularly if 1t be a case
of mouomanla, is oftentimes very great, as
the following incident will show: A few
years ago a physician whose entire life,
almost, and practice had been spent in an at
mosphcre of insanity, and who is considered
the best authority extant on such matters,
called at the st. Louis insane asylum for the
purpose of looking through it, relying on a
physician of his acquaintance who was 10.
Gated there to show him about. Near the
gate he met a gentleman who was very Sc
date, courteous and intellectual. OF him he
inquired of his friend, only to learn that he
was absent at the time. Surprising his com
panion to be a medical attache of the place,
from certain terms and theories peculiar to
the medical fraternity, which the latter ad-
vanced, he engaged him in conversation
The man was very rational and displayed a
thorough knowledge of the classics and of
science and art MS well, upon which he talked
at length and very entertainingly.
Finally he volunteered to show the visitor
through the institution, and as he did SO he
made a minute diagnosis of each case which
was presented. The visitor was charmed
until suddenly interrupted by the appearance
of the keeper and assistants, who unceremo-
niOusly seized his edifying conductor, man
nCled him and led him to n cell, despite his
violent resistance. This would nave been
quite natural under the circumstance with
even n sane man, and the expert was unde-
ccived still, until his former entertainer
shrieked back to him: They're going to
crown me emperor Of Germany, and 1 scorn
tho CrOwnl Save me, save mel'' The ex-
pert's medical friend appeared on the scene II
little later and congratulated the Wis
itor on his narrow escape, informing
him to his nstOnishmapt that this
was the most violent subject under their
charge; that he had escaped his cell for the
third time, and that in the former Instances
he had brutally beaten his keepers. This
demonstrates the mobility of even the most
experienced judge to decide infallibly as to
the condition of a mans mind. DIR. Max

Ice cream, cream cake or lemon pie
should be eaten within twelve hours after
they are made. In the case of n party or
picnic where the ice cream is purchased from
the confectioner particular inquiry should be
made as to its freshness, and If it is more
than twelve hours old it should be unhesi-
tatingly rejected. Canned meats, and in fact
all canned goods, should be eaten or cooked
rs soon as opened, and under no circum-
stances should they be placed in the refriger-
ator to be kept. They are cheap enough and
can be bought in packages of any size, so
that there is no necessity for opening
more than can be used in one day by a
family of ordinary numbers. In re
gard to canned fruits and jams, il left for
any length of time after being opened,
fermentation sets in, and 1t continues in the
stomach after they have been eaten. The
practice of reboiling home made preserves,
which nave begun to ferment, or ''work," as
it is popularity expressed, cannot be recon-
mended, for, although frequently this may
destroy the organism which causes the fer
ment, it is by no means invariably the case.
The cheap jellies which come put up In glass
tumblers should never be used. They are
made from a very poor quality of ~gelatine,
colored and favored artificially. The color
and flavor are harmless in the majority Of
cases, but the jelly itself is indigestible, and
generally has begun to decompose, as shown
by the layer of mold" Oh top.-Boston Her

A Paris philanthropist, who was struck by
the alarming and painful increase of men
deity in the metropolis, recently made a Pc
%culiar, although, perhaps, not a novel expert
ment. He went around to several generous
merchants, manufacturers and tr~adespeople,
and succeeded in inducing them to take into
their employment all the "Vagrom men"
that he hould send to them, with letters of
recommendation. Then he summoned to-
gether an army of the unemployed" made
a speech to them on the advantage of labor,
the ad~visability of economy and the dangers
of absinthe and petit bleu, and finally di-
rected them to call for the letters of recon-
mendation, which were to procure for them
immediate and remunerative employment at
the minimum rate of four francs per diem.
Out of 727 of his ragged audience, more than
half Disappeared as If by magic from the
scene, and have never bothered the philnn-
thropist since. OF the remainder, some took
the letters, but never presented them; Others
worked half a day and clamored for their
wages for that brief period, while at the end
of three days only eighteen men, who wero
all genuine artisans and laborers, were at
their post.-Boston Transcript

a late aspirant for honors in the news
paper world is the "boom writer" He enters
n town, and with his quick eye and acute
mind readily comprehends the line along
which he must work. He is fertile in re
sources, schemes" he says. He talks with
some Of the leading men, and expresses his
surprise that a town so happily situated,
with so many natural advantages, has not
become more widely known. There is no
earthly reason, he says, why Boomville
should not become a metropolis. Thousands
Of people in the crowded states along the At
lantic coast are searching the papers eagerly
for n western town of promise in which to
invest their boards of wealth. The money
burns to he invested. All that is needed is
to let these greedy people know about Boom
vile and its wonderful resources.
Having interested his hearers, the boom
writer now makes a contract with the pro
prictor of the daily Gossip or the weekly
Tell Tale for a certain amount of space in
each issue.
Soon the quiet, slow going citizen sees in
his morning paper columns Of burning, pro
phetic w~ords-graphic pictures of Boom
villt's prosperity and rich surroundings. He
opens his eyes in amazement to think he has
lived in Boomville so long and has never

runs mad in the columns of a paper which,
but a few days ago, was content to chronicle
the local gossip of the unassuming town
Poetry, patriotism, figurative language,
columns of figures are crowded in n confused
mass. Tho boom writer knows how to make
figures lie.
Enthusiasm is contagious. The citizens Of
Boomvillc grow interested. Real estate off
ces open in every vacant room, and trades in
lots become the chief business Of the day.
All these are duly chronicled in the glowing
words Of the boom writer, who begins now TO
reap his harvest. He sells copies of each
issue of the paper in bundles Of hundreds to
the enterprising citizens, who mail them to
friends and acquaintance in older towns.
A subscription list is made for the purpose
sending over the land these graphic accounts
of the now metropolis. The boom writer
unfolds one scheme after another, as the ex
element increases, and his pocketbook grows
corpulent.
When his quick eye sees that the enthusi
assn begins to waver, the boom writer re
members that he is engaged to write up the
next town, and away he goes gayly, leaving
Boomville to sink slowly back into n quiet
life, but not the same life, for the boom
writer has so aroused the faith Of the Boom
Williams in the future prosperity of their city
that years Of dull times cannot wholly de
stroy their confidence Z L. Stonaker in

One of Gotham,s nohemIans.

One striking looking man has quite a his
tory. Over six feet tall, of fine physique,
with a round, full face, the lines of which in
dictate a broad, genial nature as against the
rigors of hard luck, he is a type of that pecu-
liar Bohemian class which hourishes in no
place so well as New York. He is in contin-
ual good humor, and people who pass daily
are as accustomed to his bright, sunny smile
as they are to the magnificent portico of the
house. This man has been a figure in city
life for ten years past. He is a bright law
yer, a brilliant speaker and q man of Won
derful ability; yet no one has ever known
him to turn these talents to advantage. He
has no income. When he came here from
the south, where he was born and bred, he
was not overburdened with wealth, and at
no time in his life has he been the possessor
of 81, 1000 that he could call his own. Yet
this man dimes at Delmonico's or the HofH-
man, has elegant apartments at a we'll known
hotel, and to many is looked upon as a pros
porous citizen. He is to be seen at all the
swell dinners, at the theatres and at the
clubs. Bubbling over with good humor, a
reservoir Of epigrams, one of the most COM
panionable of beings, he fits about from
place to place.
TIC those who do not know him intimately
it is n mystery how he manages to exist. One
of his friends explained that this gay fellow
has lived in this precarious way since he
reached the age of manhood. He is a most
insinuating talker, and can borrow money
from a casual acquaintance with the grace
of a Bentinck. Many who have been
touched" by this talker have never been
able to understand what possessed them to
loan him money. Light hearted, free of care,
he sails through the sea of life a magnificent
craft with a defective rudder.-New York

JUMPING FROM THE SKY.
Sensations Erpcrionqeaby a Female Par
achute Flyer.

AChuIo IlycTs
81 suppose a brief story on the way I jump
would be interesting to you" said a female
a~eronaut. ats all so simple to me, though,
that l can't understand why it should excite
people as it does, for I have actually seen
women faint away and men turn deathly
pale after l had cut the p and started
hsavenward. You see, 1 always take a look
downward when l am up a few hundred feet
just why, l am sure / can't say. And right
here let me tell you that l have sometimes
singled out from the sea of upturned faces
just the ones l knew were going to be shaded
with disappointment should l fail to fall and
be smashed to pieces. You may think the
notion is all in my brain, but 1 nave 1t firmly
fixed there, at any rate, apd l know there
are such people in the world.
"Where are wet Oh, yes, going up-or
rather, the earth Is dropping away beneath
our feet-you know that Is always the sensa-
ton. The parachute which we are to cut
loose at the proper time hangs l~istlessly
downward. The rope which holds it to the
balloon passes through a steel ring. A sharp
knife blade, worked by a cord, is so arranged
that at the proper time a little jerk-and we
are free.
"Now comes the exciting moment, even to
the veteran. Above you the balloon, freed of
the weight which gave it steadiness, is rock
ing aud reeling, while the parachute is whiz-
zing downward. You did not feel that you
were ascending, but as you shut your eyes
and draw in your breath In little gasps-a
long drawn inspiration would be impossible
you are fully aware that you are descend
ing-that you are going with such frightful
velocity, too, that unless there comes an end,
and that end soon, the end of all things will
be at hand. Prickly sensations shoot over
your frame; and as you gasp for breath it
seems as If a knife had been thrust into your
vitals. Your thoughts are racing along with
as great speed as your downward momen-
tum; your courage, too, commences to leave
you, and you are threatened with a total
collapse-deathl
Suddenly the mad rush is checked. The
parachute has grasped the situation so to
speak. At least it has 'grasped' sufficient air
to open it out, and as it gradually expands
the motion becomes steadier, until you are
descending SO slowly and gently that you ac-
tually have a sleepy sensation. And after
the thrill, the shock of the moment before,
the feeling is so dreamily delicious that really
you are in danger from it unless you brace
up and fight it off, for Mother Earth is show
ing her smiling but rugged face close at you
again-it really appears as il the earth came
back to you, just as it seemed to recede-and
you must remember that you must be on the
lookout for a safe landing place, and that
more agility is required in this part of the
feat than in any other.-Chicago Tribune"

machines used in his district that were i'm

eventually be adopted in cotton producing
