A STARTLING THEORY.
The Unique Cause For Cranks Expounded
BY HOOsIer AIienists

BY HoOsier AIienists.
The physicians of the insane asylum
at indianapolis, Ind, have expounded
such unique cause for cranks that it
is worth while to cons der the theory in
order to modify any existing Judgment
against this harmless but peculiar class
of individuals. According to the phv-
slclans' statement cranks are caused
by Irregularities in the circulation of
the blood They are the result of the
art1ticiaity and pressure of modern life,
causing an anatomical change of the
human heart Among the changes are
cited those by which the diameters of
the heart are becoming greater, its walls
thinner, it's strength less, It's beats more
frequent. From these changes is pro-
duced irregularity of the quantity of
blood through the weakened channels
that irrigate the garden of the bra n.
AS the circulation is not normal, some
parts of the brain receive too much
blood and other parts not enough, caus-
Ing Irregular growths, and mental
obllquity, and cranks.
The expounding of this theory will
undoubtedly produce a change in pub
lie opinion in regard to cranks. In
stead of looking upon these eccentric
individuals as the products of nat
ural perIersity and waywardness
responsible for their own actions.
society will tolerate them with commas
sion. If a crank is particularly cranky,
1t will be known that too much blood is
irrlgatlng certain portion of the gar
den of his brain. Umbrella cranks, for
example, are simply victims of the
action of the heart which stimulates
with too much blood the idea of appro-
priating somebody's else umbrella.
Baseball cranks are suffering from jr-
regular growth of the gray matter of the
brain. 1t is not their fault but their
misfortune that their brain is manned
out like baseball field. irrigated and
kept perpetually fresh by constant
supply OF hearts blood The cranks
that are always borrowing; the cranks
who want to know whether this is hot
enough for YOU" all kinds of social and
political crauks are simply the results
OF peculiar arteriaI circulation. AS thew
are the results OF the development Of
society and are innocent victims of orr
social system, the injustice of making
them the butts of satire must be keeniv
recognized They are to be placed
among the worlds invalids, among the
manned and incompetent and their
vagarles tolerated as signs Of fluctuatiou

AMERICAS RICHEST WIDOW.
She Maintains Private Chapel Costing
Seventy Thousand Dollars.

/ she Maintains PRIVATE Chapel Costing
Seventy Thousand Dollars.
| Never has there been such universal
church-going in New York as during
the present season. I saw a lady in
black step out of handsome mourning
carriage in front Of st Thomas church,
last Wednesday afternoon, and some
one told me that it was Mrs. Moses
Taylor, who, with Mrs. W. H. Wander
bilt, shares the honor OF being the rich
est widow in America. She is a mem
Der of the Presbyterian church, but ia
subject to no bigotries and finds pleas
ure in occasional attendance upon SER
vices in Episcopal churches. Church
going is one of her favorite pursuits at
all times, and down at Long Branch she
has a private chapel and chaplain
of her own, who ministers to
her spiritual needs during her
summer sOjourn. This chapel cost
her so, 900, is attended by quite
a large congregation of the local Pres
byterians and is the center through
which she distributes her many beauti-
full and lavish charities. 1t was great
surprise to her, upon her husbands
death. to find herself so rich woman.
for he never talked to her about his
business, and though she knew he was
wealthy man, she had formed no cal
culation as to the amount he was worth;
no one, indeed, not even his executors,
had credited old Taylor with more than
half dozen millions at the most, and
the surprise of the latter was great on
the appointed day, when they and the
widow went to open the doors Of the
particularlv-solid vault which the old
man had built into the wall of his office
The innermost compartment was large
enough to hold certificates of stock and
and the like securities without folding.
There was a great stack of these papers
lying neatly on top of each other un-
wrinkled and increased. They repre-
scented Taylor$ Investments in railroads,
banks and insurance companies, deeds
of real estate and every sort Of sound
financial uturc. The wid0~ did not
comprehend the full meaning of this
great pile Of dOunrIents, but the execu-
tors looked at each other with pleased
significance. and set abou; making an

back of card, and announcing in awed
tones to the widow, when this pleasing
task was done, that she was the sole
rOssessor of fortune amounting to
$40, 600, 900. She bore it with thatmeek
and gentle resignation of which even
the worst Of us would be capable under
similar circumstances, and many I'M
tortunates have since had reason to be
grateful that this great sum fell into
such discreet and charitable hands.

I1makiur. the Barometer Stone.

A Finland newspaper mentions Gu

country, which serves the people in
stead of a barometer This stone.
which they call ''Ilmakiur," turns
black, or blacklist gray, when foul
weather is approaching; fine weather
has the effect of turning it almost
white. The Firms regard the stone
with superstitious reverence, but the
scientists say that its changes in color
are due to salts contained in its compo-
sition.

A Pretty italian Phrase.

The Italians have pretty phrase to
express that fine kind of tact which is
Independent of education. They call it
''the intellect of love-" and they have
crystalized in those four words one of
the most ethereal, but also one of the
most potent characteristics of human
nature. Not the most liberal education
gives this intellect of love where the
materials have been denied by nature;
not the most restricted range of knowl-
edge destroys it where it is there by the
constitution of things. People who
have this intellect of love are as slow to
take offense as to give it, They have
none of the prickly heat of tempera-
ment which luShes out into a moral
eruption at the least cOntrariety of cir
cumstances. They make allowances
for wealth, health, disappointments
annoyances misunderstanding and
they give the benefit of the doubt on the
charitable side, whenever it is possible
to frame a doubt at all. They never
quarrel. Even if things 20 badly, as by
reason of malice and Misrepresentation
as they do sometimes with the best in
the world. they suffer quietly, and do
not make bad orse.-St. Louis Globe

report a proper form Of such adjust
ments

lar as practicable anu necessary,
shall be eSpeniei IN such district
until ticir actual necessities for

This motion brought on n discus
sion which occupied considerable
