AOAUsE OF 1NsANIrY.


 Insanity is known to be on the increase in some of the civilized countries. and it is sup posed to be go in all. Various causes are given for this condition of things. Dr. Paul Garnier, noted physician of France, has been looking into the matter in that country. He asserts that during the last fifteen years insanity has increased in Paris as a most alarming rate. In the year 1872 the pre- lecture of police registered 3,0e0 cases of mental alienation, and in 1888 4,449, an increase of one-third. The entire number of cases of mental alienation in Paris since 1872 and up to and inclusive of 1888 is 62,. 572, of which 34, ,802 were men and 27,770 woman. Dr. .Garnier ascribes this increase to two principal sources, alcohol and over. work-that is, brain work Other forms oi alienation remain stationary; it is only iu the two directions mentioned that comes the within the fifteen years the number of alec holic victims has doubled among the males and more than doubled among women. It ii asserted by the physician that the prevalence of progressive paralysis, or that attended by over brain work, is not accounted for solely by cerebral conditions, but is closely linked with alcoholic excess. He concludes his memoire by saying: "It is. then, alcohol which is the chief purveyor for the insane asylums, and is the enemy sgainat which we must defend ourselves. Alcoholic alienation seems constantly to assume more violent forms, and to more and more attack the life of It's viotims."
 Alcohol has lately been charged by several distinguished men with being the chief cause of poverty. Drunkenness, poverty and insanity are not a very good combination.

s9 MILES IN ss MINUTES. A Notable Run on the Reading Rail- read.

s9 MILES IN ss MINUTES.
 A Notable Run on the Reading Rail- read.
 The most remarkable feat in the history of American railroading was accomplished a few days ago on the New York division of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad, when special passenger train covered the distance
 of ninety miles between Philadelphia and
 New York in the almost incredibly short
 time of eighty. five minutes. The engine
 which made the record smashing run Is de-
 signated as "No. 3e6." It is of the peculiar
 type originated by the Reading railroad, and
 was built for the regular fast passenger ser-
 vice of that road. The engineer was Frank
 Wagner, who, when he climbed into the
 cab, little fancied that he would leave it the
 hero of the fastest run ever made between
 the two big cities. No special preparation
 was made for fast run, both engine and
 crew being selected hastily and almost at random to meet sudden call for Especial. :" The first revolution of the drivers was made at 11:86 8. m., and the real running began at Wayne Junction, on the outskirts of PhiIa- delphia, which station was passed at 11:44114. From this point the road fs peculiarly adapted to the attainment of high speed, be- Ing etfalgnt, Tree rom neaVy grade6 ana m excellent condition of maintenance. The ffty-four and nine-tenths miles between Wayne Junction and Bound Brook was cov- cred in forty-nine and one-half minutes, an average spesd of sixty-six and one-half miles per hour. The highest rate of speed reached was eighty-seven miles per hour, and stretch es several miles long were run at the rate of eighty one, eighty-two and eighty four miles respectively. A little calculation will show the terrific velocity implied by these figures, and to stand the strain involved requires the very perfection of machinery and roadbed. The best previous record made by any train between New York and Philadelphia was that of a special, also on the Reading, which conveyed the late President Gowen on his return from Europe several years ago. The time then made was ninety minutes for the eighty-nine and four-tenths miles, and it has never been equalled until now, when Engi-
 neer Wagner and ''No. 366" have beaten it by five minutes.

LEARNING CAUTION. g5.a
 The Englishmen are beginning to discove, that all Is not gold that glitters, and they are more distrustful than they have been of plausible schemes for making good deal of money in a short time. One of the resulte of this distrust is the introduction into par liament of bill providing for the liability of directors and others for statements in pro. speetuses soliciting applications for shares or bonds. A clause of this bill enacts that every prospectus shall be deemed to contain warranty of its statemants by every person named in such prospectus as director or az authorized or responsible for anything there- in contained; that every extract from re- port of engineer or expert is g true and fail extract, and that such report was actually made as stated and in good faith, and that the person reporting was competent to make the report. Every person subscribing for stock or bonds under prospectus or notice shall be entitled to bring an action on this implied warranty against any and all persons deemed to have given such warranty, and recover damages and other relief the same as though the warranty was contained in the prospectus.
 This is sensible move and one that ought to have been made before. If the bill be. comes law. as 1t probably will, 1t will dc much to protect the Englishmen against swindlers. It will also hurt the feelings ot the professional directors. A Directory ot Directors" lately published in England has the names of 12, 800 noblsmen and gentlemen who may be called professional directors, be. ing paid in differing amounts for their time, but particularly for the use of their names as managers, directors and promoters of compa- nies Incorporated for all sorts of purposes, for operation in all parts of the world, and oi varying degrees of financial success

Strange Uses of Paper.


 Paper is now made to serve for steel and iron. When strong fiber is used it can be made into substance so hard that it can scarcely be scratched. Railroad car wheels are made of it more durable than iron. A store in Atlanta, Georgia, has been built en tirely of paper. The rafters, weather boards, roof and flooring are all made of thick com pressed paper boards, impervious to water. On account of the surface of the paper be- ing smooth and hard it cannot catch on fire as easily as wooden building. It is found warm in cold and cool in hot weather. The
 Breslau freproof chimney has demonstrated that cooking and heating stoves, bathtubs
 and pots, when annealed by a process that
 renders 1t fireproof, become moro laating
 than iron and will not burn out. Cracks in
 floors around the skirting board, or ethel
 parts of a room, may be neatly filled by
 thoroughly soaking newspaper in paste made
 as thick as putty and forced into the crackt
 with a paste knife. It will soon harden and
 can be painted.
 Black walnut picture frames are made oi paper and so colored that no one can tell them from the original wood. A paper piano has lately been exhibited in Paris. The on. tire case is made of compressed paper, to which is given hard surface, cream white brilliant polish. The legs and sides are or
 namented with arabesques and floral de. signs. The exterior, and as much of the in. terior as can be seen when the instrument ie open, are covered with wreaths and medal lions painted in miniature. An Italian monk has succeeded in constructing an organ where the pipes are made of paper pulp. Il has fourteen hundred pipes of various sizes. The American Cottonseed Oil trust are now running mill for making paper from the hulls remaining after all the oil has been squeezed out of the cottonseed. They are contemplating the erection of one hundred ton mill for the same purpose. These hulls have heretofore been considered worthless It has 50 far proved so successful that the trust propose erecting mills at different points in the cotton raising country. Ol course this will somewhat revolutionize the paper trade.
 A new mill for the manufacture of paper from moss has been recently established 1T Sweden. Paper of different thickness and pastsboard made of 1t have already beer shown, the latter even in sheets three-quar. ters of an inch thick. It is hard as wooG and can easily be painted and polished. I, has all the good qualities, but none of tn, defects of wood. The pasteboard can b, used for door and window frames, architec. tural ornaments and all kinds of furniture The ceiling of the assembly chamber at Al bany, N. Y, is made of papier mache. | is model of it's kind and appears 60 ik, marble as to deceive the most expert eye The latest idea is to use paper instead oi wood for lead pencils, by using 0 patenl preparation by which it can be cut ss easily as tho softest wood.

 A writer in the Book-Lover says that wom- en are never bibliomaniacs, and I have no facts at hand with which to dispute the charge. There have been women who have owned fine libraries, but the true bibliomani- ac is unqueztionably infrequent.
