The Thumb in Iunacy.

A physician in charge of well-known
asylum for the care of the insane recently
said to the writer: There is one infalli-
bic test, either for the approach or the
presence of lunacy. If the person whose
case is being examined is seen to make no
use of his thumb; if he lets it stand out at
right angles from the hand and employs
it neither i'll salutativn, writing, nor any
other manual exercise, you may set it down
as a fact that that person mental balance
is gone. He or she may converse intelli-
gently; may in every respect be guarding
the secret of a mind diseased with the ut
most care and cunning, but the tell tale
madness which is concealed behind a
American.

His HOnor's Time was Precious.

A southwest Georgia justice of the peace
had listened to the evidence in a case that
was being tried before him, says the At
lanta Constitution, and when that had
been concluded one of the lawyers arose
to make speech in favor of the client.
The judge listened patiently for half an
hour, and then began writing on piece
of paper in front Of him. A few min
utes later he interrupted the lawyer by say
ing:
Gentlemen, when you finish your
speeches you will find my decision written
excuse me for while, as | have to plant
some potato slips. Let me know when you
have concluded, and | will return and SEN
tence the prisoner
1t is necessary to mention the fact that
another young lawyer had his finest effort
cut short.

Ny lady mentioned that she had noticed

to see her or speak 10 her again. of one
thing she was determined-he should NOT
leave her without kind word of farewell:
he should hear how truly she valued him:
yes, and how she admired and felt for
him! Would Fanny not do the same thing,
in her place? And Fanny had remember
ed the time when she might have done it
for such a man as Mr.. Mountjoy "Mind

maid continued, looking and Speaking so
eXcitedly that Hugh hardly knew her
again. My mistress is coming to see you,

MOuntjOy exclaimed

you mean" Fanny answered Il do so

Hugh reasoned and demonstrated, and
tailed to nral nee the sli ccl test effect

failed to produce the sligl test effect.
His next effort was to write a few lines
to Lady Harry, entreating her to remem-
Der that jealous man is sometimes capa-

gave the note to FANNY to deliver, she in

meant to do right (she reminded him), and
sometimes ended in doing wrong. Rather
than disappoint her Mistress she was
quite capable of tearing up the letter, on
her way home, and saving nothing about
it. Hugh tried threat next: Your mis-

All that MOuntjoy had said and done in
the way of protest had been really dictated
by consideration for the young wife. If
ne questioned his conscience, selfish de-
light in the happy prospect of seeing Iris
again asserted itself as the only view with
which he looked forward to the end of the
day. When the evening approached he
took the .precaution of having his own dis
Greet and faithful servant in attendance
to receive Lady Harry at the door of the
hotel before the ringing of the bell could
summon the porter from his lodge. On
calm consideration, the chances seemed
to be in favor of her escaping de ection by
Lord Harry. The jealous husband of the

may be, is not always the husband of the
world outside the theatre. With this frag-
ment of experience present in his mind,
Hugh saw the door of his sitting-room

he had anticipated. His trustworthy rep
resentative introduced a lady, closely
