The bug is very useful insect. but
how Objectionable 1t can make itself on
occasions was shown by an incident
which occurred one night on the Central
railroad Of New Jersey. The milk train
was carrying two passenger coaches be-
hind the milk cars, and rs the night
was warm the half dozen passengers
aboard had the windows all raised
The train had been standing on side
track n few minutes when swarm of
large June bugs, attracted by the car
lights. flew in through the windows
In five minutes the seats were nearly
covered with the bugs, and they began
to crawl around the legs of the passen-
gers and to prove otherwise unpleasantly
otfic;ous. In five minutes the insects
had possession of the two cars and the
passengers turned ont. The problem
which now presented itself was how to
get the pests out Of the cars before the
train started. A fire was suggested.
md while the passengers gathered
brushwood and kindled roaring blaze,
one of the brakemen went into the cars
and put the lights ont. The ruse was
successful, the bugs deserted the CATS
and the passengers went back, shut
down the windows and sat in darkness
until the train started.-New York Com
Inercial Advertiser.

SHE DOUBLED UP THE MAYOR

An Insane Woman Conqusrs an Army -
City Omeials the Island.
There has been a marvellous change
In the treatment Of insane patients In
our hospitals within the last five years"
said Fl. II. Porter, the president Of the
board Of commissioners of charities and
correction, the other day. Not long
ago every patient was considered can
didate for the straightjacket or the cuffs
If he was at ali violent. Now we seldom
have occasion 10 use either one. The
change has come as result Of our in
creased facilities and accommodations,
We are enabled to employ better nurses
and caretakers, and we find chat persua
sion is far more effective than force.
: Il remember rather funny expert,
ence had when Mayor Hewitt was in
office You know the old gentleman
was very anxious 10 90 the right thing
in regard TO appropriations for all the
city institutions, and in order to under
stand the needs of each he made re-
markably thorough and careful investi-
cations He sent word to us one day
that Ne would inspect the insane asy
lums on the island the next day, so all
the commissioners made arrangements
TO accompany him. When the time
came there was just an army Of us, for
beside the mayor and the commissioners
every paper in the city sent its repre-
sentative.
We got along all right on the island
until we came to the lodge where the
most dangerous patients were kept.
Here Mr.. Hewitt stopped and said, q
ion't think we had better go in there
all of us-for we will probably excite the
patients But none of the commission
ers or reporters wanted 10 be left behind,
so we all went in, the reporters bring
ing up the rear.
There was big German woman, 80
years old, confined there, with whom we
had had considerable trouble. l thought
she was safe out of the way, but when
we opened the doors there she was
straight before us. The crowd nettled
her for moment, and then with yell
she rushed forward There was a grand
rush-the reporters turned tail and ran
Is fast as they could for the fence, while
the commissioners streaked off in differ
ent directions, and poor Mayor Hewitt,
who could not get ont Of the way, was
left facing the wild woman.
He did not stand long, however. TO:
IN less time than can tell it she hit him
in the pit Of his stomach and doubled
him mp on the floor. while his glasses
few clear across the room. The next in
slant the keepers had her in charge, and
slowly the army of men gathered itself
together. While the other commissioners
were busting the mayor off handed him
his glasses, and then he turned and looked
at us reproachfully as he said, 4 told
