Rumors Of dissatisfaction with the man.
agement Of the state asylum having
reached the ears OF the state authorities, a
committee consisting OF ]. L. Crawford.
secretary of state; L. B. Wombwell, COM
missioner OF agriculture and w. B. Lamar,
attorney general, went to Chattahoochee
last week tn thoroughly investigate the con-
duct of affairs at that institution. They
summoned and heard about thirty wit
nesses, who testified under oath, but could
find no cause for complaint. They say the
asylum is in excellent condition, and the
patients all well treated. The whole trouble
seems to be that there are not fat places
enough at the asylum to employ all who
would like to be upon the states pay roll,
hence the "outs" are hinging mud at the
'ins.n.
STORMY WEATHER

several barrels of culls.

Mark Twain and Others Now Write Under
Their Own Names.
There seems every reason to believe that
she day Of the nom de plume in literature
has gone by. Authors OF established rep
utation ire in several cases discarding their
pen names, while the younger writer's are
Tor the most part using their own sigma
lures.
In fact, when one comes TO look over
the field, there is not q modern author Of
repute completely screened behind an as
sumed name. The Duchess" up to within
q short time succeeded in keeping her iden-
tity yelled. She is, however, now writing

Tho reasons for this change Of feeling
are several. First. authors are realizing
moro and more hat with two m they
have two regulations to make, and IN these
days OF literary competition it fills the
hands OF and ordinary mar to succeed in
making one.
Secondly, writer's are becoming more
convinced that the strength Of ones per-
sonality in their work IS an essential OF
success.
Thirdly, publishers arc more reluctant
to place pseudonyms on the title pages Of
their books than they were fifteen years
ago.

Left.Leggedness.

A paper under this title has recently
been read before an English scientific
association, by . physician who says
that man. generally characterized o. a
Iight-handed animal, is also popularity
supposed to be right-legged. The the
DRY is, however, as he maintains, not
supported by fact. When a man is
standing, and is working with the RICH.
hand, there is = tendency to use the
left leg for balance.
Many persons find it easier to go
round circles to the right than to the
left. Kace-courses are almost always
made for running in circles to the
right, and il will be noticed that the
majority Of movements, like dancing
and running, are more readily per-
formed in that direction.
The general rule in walking is that
Of keeping to the right, and IL appears
to have . foundation in nature. OF q
large number Of intelligent people
who were asked about the existence Of
this rule, only 81 per cent. among men
and 53 per cent. among womcn were
aware of it. This supports the fact
that it is unconsciously obeyed.
All crowds tend to bear toward the
right. The left leg being stronger, it
10 more readily brought into action,
and for this reason troops start with
the left foot. II is the foot which is
placed in the stirrnp OF a saddle, or
the step Of . bicycle, in mounting, and
it is that upon which { man rests il
making . Jump.
In . series Of experiments made by
bandaging the eyes OF boys aud then
telling them to walk straight" the
right-handed ones diverged to the
right. and the left, handed ones to tho
left. In short, all the evidence thus
far obtained by this writer tends 10
prove that man, being either naturally
0r a~rtiiicially right-handed and left
legged, tends unconsciously to bear to
the right, while the hover animals, on
the other hand. appear nearly always
to circle to the left.

speculationa, and II may be that the

VISIT TO A PERSIAN PRISON.
How the Prisoner Arc Confined M
Treated In the Orient.

How the PrfsOncrx Arc Confined ami
treated In the Orient.
A mud wall about twelve feet high
surrounded an Enclosure Of q quarter
Of IN acre. On one side was an arched
entrance, guarded by massive wooden
gates covered with sheet iron. Over
the gateway were two rooms, the abode
Of the jailer and his family, which were
reached by a rude fight Of steps. . !.
Squatting ut the gate was a guard
Of three soldiers, needy-looking fellows
in tattered uniforms Of gray. Three
muskets, with rusty bayonets attached,
rested against the wall close behind
them.
Upon seeing a acknowledgements
and two of the Governors farrashes APP
preaching. the soldiers rose to their
feet, seized their mnskets ard favored
us with q military salute. The slight
commotion they made in doing this
brought to the door Of the bala. khana
above the jailer, who ut once saluted
us with "salaam sleykum" and invited
us mp.
The farrashes explained the object of
our visit; the jailer stroked his henna-
stained whiskers in token of approval,
spread q piece of carpet on the floor
and babe me be seated. Two kalians
or water pipes were quickly produced,
n of which was handed to me and the
other to the farrashes.
The pipes being finished we descend
ed the stairs and entered the gate. The
jailer and the guards who accompanied
us carried in their hands iron maces
with spiked heads. These weapons
we're intended to warn the prisoners
against attempting any violence. Seat
ed beneath the further wall was y row
Of about forty miserable looking
wretches, with but a few tatterel
rags to cover their n~akedness.
Around each mans neck was an iron
ring of rude workmanship. Heavy iron
chains, passed from collar to collar,
bound each prisoner to his neighbor.
In another place were several POOR
wretches lying on their backs with
their feet thrust through holes in a log
Of wood. Heavy iron letters passed
around each ankle and held the feet
secure.
The jailer explained that the men
with the iron collars about their necks
were the ones who had committed small
offenses, petty thieves. debtors and
others who were in for short periods OF
time. Those with their feet in the rude
stocks we're criminals Of more impor-
lance, murderers, highway robbers,
old offenders and ail-breakers.
On either side of the gate was a long,
low room, built against the wall, also
Of mud, and without windows or VENT
lation ave two or three small, round
holes in the side. These we're places
Of confinement for the prisoners at
night and in rainy weather, but there
vas neither led nor furniture.
In one of these dens were seated
three prisoners with huge blocks OF
wood chained to their feet. The jailcr
explained that they were refractory
new arrivals who were being brought
to terms. = Thomas Sterens, in

Increased Fifteen Thousand Fold A
Very Lucky (Ountrymau.

The Express but recently published the
fact that Mr.. u. p. Cole, u poor man who
resides at Pearsall. was the lucky winner OF
fifteen thousand dollars in the Louisiana
State lottery, having purchased ticket No.
80, 455, which drew oDe-fortieth Of the grand
capital prize of S60O.OW in the December
drawing. Mr.. Cole is a remarkably lucky
man, for he seems to have known just
where and when to invest n dollar where IL
would do the most good. After learning Of
his good fortune, Mr.. Cole sent his ticket to
New Orleans by express, where it WAS
cashed in tull by the bank and the money
returned to him in a remarkably short time,
thus demonstrating the fact hat the Louis
lana State Lottery company Is as reliable as
ever, and never makes u promise but what
Is carried out to the letter.
Mr.. Cole. as stated above, was a poor
man. having beer working for the small
sum of sl5 per month. His good fortune,
however, has not turned his head, and he
proposes to use his means in the effort to
better his condition for the remainder Of his
life.-San antonio (Ten.) Express jan. y.

Tears on the Stage

Tears? have never been able to UNDER
stand what alleged stage tears are. OF
III the tradition of the onion is historic,
and, as 70 cannot verv we'll carry Al onion
on the stage il il not precisely clear to my
benighted Imagination how these property
tears can be created. For my own part it
is impossible for me to suppress the I'M
hidden tears that come in certain scenes of
the plays in which I appear. I know that
it 10 cOutended in certain quarters that real
tears on the stage are not true art, but if
this be SO. then all BY myself I must con-
fess that l prefer more nature to less art
and tears, after all, are the we'll. springs of
the heea,t.
To come down practically to the acting
OF the present day, it appears to me that
ali its best inclinations are in the direction
OF naturalness. The every day young
mar" is gilmore interest and consequence
than the eminent hero IF tradition. To
make the every day young man or woman
express and depict sentiments md emo.
tions that are Of present and vital interest
Is to make the stage a mirror wherein men
may see the life they know aud feel aud
the emotions which control their every
day life.
