lums during the early part of summer;
and it is interesting to notice also that
the statistics of suicide in the general
population show that this occurs most
frequently during the same period.
The greatest number of recoveries take
place during June, July and August, and
they are fewest during the months of
November, January and February. The
regularity in the rise and fall of the num-
bers is twice interrupted. The rise is in
terrupted by fall in April, and the fall
is interrupted by rise in December. sit
is considered probable that these inter-
ruptions are due to some causes which
recur regularly at these periods, because
they are well marked in character; and
it is suggested that the December rise is
occasioned, in part at least, by the an
nual statutory revision of the condition
of patients in asylums during that month.
This revision is made by medical officers
of asylums with view to determine
whether they can properly give the GER
tificate of the necessity for further deten-
ton in the asylum which is annually re-
quired to legalize the continued residence
of all patients who have been three years
in an asylum. The occurrence Of the
large number of recoveries during the
months of June, July and August is
probably due to the large number of adj
missions during May, June and July, as
more than 48 per cent. of all the recover
les which take place during the first year
of residence occur within three months
of the date of admission. Pail Mall

In tho Right Car.

Yesterday afternoon Cottage Grove
avenue cable train was hailed at Twenty.
fifth street by two ladies. The train
stopped. A man on the grip had turned
hair hround to converse with a friend or
the seat behind him. The two were occu.
plying four seats. One of the ladies who
hailed the car tapped the forward man on
the arm and asked if he would kindly sit
back with his friend and allow them to
occupy his double seat. He could not do
otherwise, SO he complied, but he grumb-
led the while about women invading the
smoking car when there was plenty OF
room for them in the car behind. The
lady who had asked the favor overheard
the cultural remarks, but she said moth
ing. Pretty soon she turned ON the man
who had made the quiet objections.
There was cigarette between her lips.
evil you kindly give me light" she
asked, as she reached out her little hand
for his cigar. He gazed at her in amaze.
ment, but he handed over his torch. The
lady took light and passed the cigar
bac with thanks. Then she gave her
friend light The rude objector wilted.
He will never again claim that the smok.
ers seats are sacred to the men. The lady
in question knocked him out.--Chicago

Thought It Was Meant for Him.
Just before the train going east left
Buffalo heavy set, red headed man
with q grip sack got into dispute with
an engineer at the door of the baggage
room. did not hear the first of it, but
did hear the fat man say:
9'If it wasn't right here I'd lick you'll"

other
"Tll try it soon enoughl I'm going to
lay for you, old fellowp
Sand I'll lay for you'll Mind, now,

you are many years olderp'
The train started and rushed along for
fifty or sixty miles, and then something
gave way ON the engine and we came to
a stop. 1t was II o'clock at night, and
the brakeman who ran back fell into
ditch and broke his leg and lantern at
the same moment. Ten minutes later
an accommodation train came booming
down upon u.s. Its engineer saw the
danger in time to slow up, but the loco
motive struck the last car with force
enough to fling it off the rails and turn
it across the track. One of the first pas
sengers to get out was the red headed
man, and one of the first men he saw
was the engineer whom he had quar-
relied with. They looked at each other
for few seconds, and then the traveller
put his thumb to his nose and sneering-
ly exclaimed
"oh, you will do me up, win you'll Had

srontenegrIn ueraldry.

As the early pilgrims used to wear a
scallop shell in the front of the hat in
token of their having made pilgrimage
to the Holy Land, SO the Montenegrins
have adopted national head dress
which has peculiar significance.
1t is q round, fiat topped cap of red
cloth; round its side, and just overlap
ping its upper surface, is stitched black
band. In corner Of the red circle thus
left at the top is embroidered semi
circle, in gold thread, into which is often
worked the initials of the prince.
This cap has symbolical meaning.
When the old Servian kingdom was bro
ken up, and the southwestern Sclavs be-
came subject to strange races, the wild
mountain district Of Montenegro alone
preserved its Independence; so its inhab-
itants draped their red caps with black,
in mourning for their enslaved brethren.
The corner OF gold on the red cloth is
meant to represent Montenegro-the one

With Intent TO Deceive.

The Breakfast Table is informed Of a
new idea of shoe manufacturer, which
is reported to have been the means of
largely increasing his business. The man
ufacturer in question sends out all shoes
of his make which are intended for ladies'
wear devoid Of any stamp on sole or
upper by which the Size can be told. The
reason for this is due to request from
some of his retail customers to that effect.
When the shoe gets to the retail dealer
he may, if he chooses to do SO, mark on
the proper size; but he may, if he is UNI
scrupulous enough, mark the shoe so as
to make it appear smaller than it really
is. That is, if shoe were 8 G he may
mark it at 24C. 1t seems rather strange
that shoe should sell more rapidly be-
cause it is marked wrongly, but if the
practice did not bring some definite finan-
cial return it would not, in all probability,
be pursued Boston Advertiser.

The Influences of the Various Seasons ON
Minds Diseased.
The old idea that Luna and lunacy have
an intimate relation appears to be not
wholly without foundation. This, at any
rate, is demonstrated by the commission
ers in lunacy for Scotland-that the sea-
sons have distinct influence on asylum
statistics. The tables Of admissions DUR
ing the years 1907 show that there are
two well marked periods--one in which
the number rises considerably above the
average, and the other in which it falls
considerably below. The average monthly
number for the eight years was 1000.
During the three months OF May, June
and July the number was 628 above what
it would have been il the average num-
Der only had been admitted. On the
other hand, during the months of Octo-
Der, November, December and January
the number was 462 below what it would
have been il the average number had
been admitted. The table shows further
that this rise and this fall are preceded
by gradual rise and gradual fall, the
rise taking place during February, March
and April, and the fall taking place dur
ing July, August and September
"The special frequency" the commits
sioners say, with which asylum treat
ment is resorted to during the period
from the middle of April to the middle
Of July corresponds with what has been
observed by asylum physicians-that
there is O tendency to an exacerbation Of
the mental disorder of patients in asy-

A certain princely family in Russia,
each member of which can style himself
by the family title, has propagated SO
rapidly in the course of 100 years that
there are 2,70S males of the family now
living. All these are equals by right OF
birth, but only % of them have anything
in the shape of high position. OF the re-
mainder, BOG are in various grades of the
army; 400 are merchants and shop keep

ranks and are stablemen, walters, labor.

oifenses; under sentence Of hanging; q
are police spies, and are in partnership
as keepers of one of the most notorious
houses of pleasure in Moscow. The rest
are occupied in various ways, among
them being several butchers, bakers and
cab drivers, and one who inscribes his
sign with his full princely title and his
business, "corn doctor, 7 underneath. All
are Princes Galitzin. These statistics
were recently procured at the instance OF
