THS spectacle Of u husband try

insane asylum in order that he
might obtain possession Of her prop
erty was witnessed in a Chicago
court this week. Perhaps the most
dastardly of all evil schemes is that
which seeks to place troublesome
person in mad house. Courts
should consider the circumstances
with extreme care before they allow
a man or woman to be token to an
asylum for lunatics. The instltu-
ton has too often been used to put
an undesirable relative out of the
way, aud all persons committed
should manifest decided symptoms
Of insanity and not mere freaks OF

from IT'S destination. The men at the
head Of the service view the many
complaints in very complaeent
manner and neither attempt to rem
edy the evil or give explanation for
ii. The people, however, can very
readily fluid the reason for It. 1t lies
in discharging old hands and re-
placing them with new ones. In such
an important service there needs to
be a great deal of pains taken in

they are carelessly selected, the only
