disease was likely to be entailed upon
those most dear to US. This is espec-
tally true of wonen and children, who
are often much more continuously
confined within doors than are the
men.
The best authorities tell us that not
less than thirty cubic feet of air per
minute is required for each person to
maintain a reasonable degree of pur-
ity. A family OF six persons should.
therefore, have about 800 cubic feet
of fresh air per minute flowing
through the room they are occupying.
1t is not enough to have provision for
entrance unless there is also adequate
arrangements for exit. How many of
our MONIES are reasonably provided
with natures safeguard in this respect?

A certain young lady of Pittsburg,
who has not yet reached her third
birthday, makes her papa's life a bur-
den by her persistent demand for
''~'tories.n
Tell me a tory, papa" she will say,
and papa has to submit.
Under the encouragement OF MS
little daughter, papa is developing
into a Baron Munchausen of no mean
caliber.
One day not long ago in response to
an urgent invitation. the follow ing
'story" was told
"Once there was a mosquito. This
mosquito had q family of three young
mosquitoes in a nest up a big tree.
The little mosquitoes said to their
mamma, Yves very hungry Then
the mamma mosquito went to a house
where there was n nice fat baby
asleep in a crib. The mos
quito carried the baby oil to her nest,
and divided it up among her children.
Two of the little mosquitoes had a leg
apiece. and the mamma mosquito and
the other baby mosquito each ate an
arm. After these were eaten the rest
of the fat baby was put away for sup
per. That's all of that story"
When the narration was concluded

In the annual report of the State
Superintendent Of Public Instruction,
Jersey City is regularly held up as a
reproach to the State on account oil
its fragrant lack Of school facilities.
Last year we were able to take com
fort out of the reflection that the evil
was about to be remedied. The money
was there. and the New Charter OIL
cials were about to begin work.
A year has elapsed.
The money is still there.
The New" Charter officials are still
going to begin work.
At least they say SO.

MICHIGAN Asylum.
DETROIT. May 19.-Charles W. Jones. the

than the oraziest lunatic in Michigan. The
| story of his downfall Is not Of the ordinary
| kind. While still in the height OF his political
| career this man fell before the charms Of
| Michigan's richest maiden, Miss Cothilde
| Palms. He followed her to Detroit and en-
| deavored to force his affections upon her but
| she objected. For months he paced up and
down in front OF her house by the hour. and
| sent her bouquets by the dozen. He boarded
at the Russell House, the best hotel in the city.
| His finances were not equal to the strain
and he was asked to leave. Then his
| downfall became rapid and he drifted
from hotel to boarding house and from there
to meagrely- FURNISHED room. and obtained
| his food at free lunch counters and anywhere
he could His apparel kept pace with his de-
| cline and months ago he drfted far below
shabby gentility., During the past two years
his mental decline previously put smrmsieh;

first won Mrs. Burgess's admiration by his

him simply as lodger. but Titus became SO
infatuated with tho beautiful wife of Cant
burgess that lie resented attentions which tho
latter be-toNc cd upon her. On Saturday Capt
burgess returned from n trip to New York. and
yesterday he and his wife went riding. This
little drive interferod with y scheme which
Titus had planned and the disappointed lover
took his revenge In the following manner:
At about IL O'Clock he went TO the house, and
Knocking loudly demanded his clothes and
other belongings. Mrs. Burgess went to the
door, To the inquiry Who lie there 2" he re-
sponded Titus" and pressed his demands
Mrs. Burgess answered You can't come in

the body, where 1t is now lodged. The wound
ed man was taken into the house and medical
aid summoned. The mans injury was pro-
nounced serious and his condition critical.
The nolce, hearing the firing. rushed to the
place and Mrs Burgess surrendered herself.
before leaving the house she kissed both her
husband and Titus. She was greatly excited,
hut declared that the shooting was Iustitlable.
Young Titus tried TO prevent Mrs. burgess
from admitting her guilt and stoutly claimed
however. told the police that she thought she
was shooting a burglar. Another story is to
the effect that the shooting was premeditated;
that Titus had aroused Mrs. burgess's jealousy
