Absent Minded people,

A writer in the New York Tribune re-
Gently heard two stories of absent-mind-
edness which are encouraging to those
who suffer from q mild form Of the dis
ease. The first was told by . woman
about her father. He was in his library,
and his cries brought the whole family
to the DON They hurried in and found
him near his favorite table, poking UNI
der it and around it among his papers
and everywhere with his walking-stick.
When some one asked him what
he was looking for, he only con-
tinued to poke with the stick.
Finally he turned In disgust and said:
''Some one will have to find it for me. /
laid it up against my desk. 1t slipped
down to the floor, and l thought l picked
it up, but I don't seem to be able to find
1t now" "What is 1t You are looking
for?' asked his daughter. "Why, my
stick, child" cried the old gentleman,
'and | don't see where it can be-" OF
course the stick which he was thrusting
into the w~aste-paper basket and into
every corner was the n for which he
was searching.

Insane Through sympathy

Two women named McDermott, one 81
and the other "a years OF age, were COM
mitted to the asylum for the insane in
Stockton, Cal, under peculiarly distress
ing circumstances Five years ago the
eldest girl became insane through illness.
The other visited the insane patient, and
on seeing her manacled became instantly
crazy herself. Both recovered after sew
eral months treatment and have been
with their parents in this city until yes
terday. The Youngest woman became
again mentally weak and was treated by
physicians. A few days later the eldest
sister suddenly lost her reason. The
popularity Of the cases lies in the fact
that the youngest first vent insane
through seeing her sister crazy, and four
years aftcrward the older girls insanity
suddenly returned through seeing her
younger sister crazy. The doctors think
there is a great affinity between the two
girls, and that to keep them separate
will help both. The doctors believe both
will be restored to health by q few
months treatment.

An engineer who has been employed
on the Nicaragua canal says Of the two

Of Stanley's description of the Congo.
There are immense trees, with dense
foliage growing close together, great
creepers winding around everything. q
labyrinth of underbxush, and moss,
damp, thick and Shiny, on trees and
rocks. This moss sometimes is . foot
thick, and . pole has to be driven
through II to strike the solid substance
beneath. In this black forest many OF
the men got lost and didn't return for
days. In these forests there are valu-
able woods in almost innume,sble varie-
ties. There Is ironwood, mahogany,
India rubber, ~sapadillo, which will last
for hundreds Of years; wild almond,
called break-ax, because 1t can't be cut
with an AK, and many other beautiful
woods. The west coast Is . beautiful
country, with undulating hills, fine
farms and pastures, and forests Of not
the density Of the east side."

Ths jail at ocals, Fla, consists Of 3
big Iron cage set In . room about twenty
feet square and ton feet high. The cage
Is made Of nat bars Of Iron about three
inches Wide, which run in both directions,
while the spaces between them are no
wider than the width Of tho bars. The
whole cage is about fifteen feet square
and seven feet high. It Is divided into
little compartments, each less than
thirty inches wide and half the depth of
the cage. Each compartment holds two
prisoners. Two iron shelves, one above
the other, which st night are suspended
from top Of the cage in each compart-
ment serve as beds. When the beds are
hung Of course they practically oil the
entire compartment. When visited the

fined in this cage. Six Of them were
murderers awaiting trial. The war;
ing cage looked like . torture-pen filled
with victims ready for some sacrifice.
