He Thinks That Numerous species OF In
sanity Are Preventseie.
DIR. c. u. Burr. superintendent Of the
Eastern Michigan Insane Asylum. re- |
Gently read a paper at q sanitary con
yention, and brought out some facts that |
while well appreciated by physicians,
are not generally known. Every one
must recognize the tact that there must
be prime cause for every thing; and in
sanity, being merely an expression OF a
more or less profound perturbation OF
the brain. must have an ultimate cause.
The careful study of the causes Of in
sanity. and the much that has been
done in the way of dispeiing the mys.
teries surrounding insanity, have
shown that mental disease Is in a
greal measure preventable. In many
cases 1t is the direct or indirect out
come of conditions affecting the general
nutrition. The general idea as to the
part played by emotion in the produc-
tion Of insanity is exaggerated. Among
the conditions that impair the general
nutrition and thus contribute to mental
disease are unsanitary surroundings,
exposure to the contagion of commnnica-
BILE diseases, labor in badly ventilated
rooms, intemperance and other thing
that cause bodily illness. These are re-
sponsible for large percentage OF the
cases OF insanity. IL Is estimated that
ten per cent OF the cases OF insanity
arc saused by tuberculosis. and three
per cent by contagious diseases
the habitual and intemperate use
of alcohol, opium and other narcotics
causes about nine per cent of all cases
The so-called emotional causes, such as
business perplexities, anxiety, religious
excitement, etc, are responsible fol

NEsT-6ulLDIN0 FISHES.
They watch Over Thslr Young Like n
Careful Hea.

tarsIut heH.
The Bitshki 10 Russian fish which
lives In the Black Sea. When the
Matching season approaches, IL seeks the
shore and builds there q nest for it's
young. Both father and mother unite
In gathering seaweeds, and deposit them
In small holes on the shore. There the
mother lays her eggs. and watches over
them like careful hen until they are
hAtched.
The stickleback not only builds nest
for its young. but defends ii from attack
with great zeal and fsrocity. One nat
uralist says that he took male
stickleback from the water. and placed
him with others in . collecting hottie.
Then he went on observing the nest
which the prisoner had been guarding.
Suddenly q large crowd OF hungry
stioklebacks assembled about it and be-
gan an attack, evidently with the pnr-
pose OF devouring the young within.
The conscience stricken naturalist at
once dropped his pr isoner among them,
and as soon as the wrohRed householder
could collect his scattered wits. he
rushed at the invaders. attacked them
hercely and soon was again in possession
OF his nest. which he at once set about
mending with bits OF weeds and twigs.
A Chinese fish constructs nest. not
OF grass Ut seaweeds, but OF frothy Sc
eretions The male prepares bubbles In
the air by sucking them IN and strengths
sning them with mucuous matter from
his mouth. Then he brings them int
the water, and axpels them TO construct
nest The female enters this cavity
and lays her eggs there
The eggs sink to the bottom of ths
water. and the male Is then obliged u
raise them into the nest, He appears u
b unable TO carry them in his mouth
90 he swallows large supply of air, de
scends beneath the eggs, and violently
expels the air accumulated. This air
finely divided by tho fringes OF the giils
escapes in the form OF two jets o
fsssous powder. which envelop the egg
and raise them to the surfaee. - Youth

The explanation, according TO this inde

which was given by Haller, q leading

Is, that they lead, as rule, simple

maxim in Proverbs, Wine is mock.

that. although Judaism does not do

literature tho strongest condemnation OF

told, mistaken idea that during Pass

Idiotio Politics.

Some Of the republican leaders In
Congress are said to know that the put.
ting up of prices before the recent bal
loting throughout the country was an
election dodge.
This may be called idiotic politics.
There is corrupt politics. There is fat
uous politics. There is blind politics.
There is maniacal politics. But this is
idiotic politics. How could the demo-
crat managers or press seize upon the
private councils of American manufac-
turers, trusts, monopolies, Wholesale
dealers and middlemen, and, in the face
of their interest in the success of the
Mckinley bill, secure from them uni
versal, simultaneous increase of prices
on all commodities of which they hap
pen to have stocks on hand? Could any
thing more defy common sense?
Trade is as selfish as politicians
Trade knew that under the operation
of the act, prices would inevitably go
up. Trade simply anticipated its prof
its and put the prices up, not merely for
goods to be bought after the operation
of the new schedule, but on the stocks
bought under the old schedule. Trade
proposed to reap as rapidly as possible
the harvest the makers Of the McKin-
ley bill intended for trusts, monopoly
and capital. There was indeed con-
spiracy, but the conspirators were the
republican tariff makers and the mo-
nopolies whose benefactors they have
been.-I 1t is true the conspiracy DER
leaped itself. The measure that was to
perpetuate exhorbitant prices has been
rejected by the people as eagerly as it
was welcomed by the monopoly. It's
rejection has already had a commercial
effect. The forestallers of excessive
profits have discovered that they fore
"a the markets too rapidly, They fear
1ecline and are already preparing for
hat.
Idiotic politics is natural successor
n this session of Congress to corrupt
politics that reigned in the last session.
