CRAZY CRIMINALS IN CHINA
How Lunatics Who Commit Murder Al
Punished.

How Lunatics Who Commit Murder Arc
Punished.
In China acts of homicide or murder
committed by lunatics are rare. In that
country the iron hand of Justice works
incxorably. and the plea of in
sanity is not admitted as a nit
iyation of punishment. In the last
Imperial Gazette laborer was sem
fenced to death in the usual
manner appointed for the crime of par
ricidc, while the relatives, who had neg
lccted to inform the district authorities
that the man was insane, were each
sentenced to receive one hundred blows
with stick.
According to Western ideas. this pun
ishmcnt of Il lunatic is cruel. but there
can be little doubt that the severity
adds largely to the protection of the
public, as is evidenced by the rarity of
crime by lunatics in China.
There are few lunatics so mad as to be
altogether deficient of Sclf-control and
the knowledge possessed by all Chi
ncsc that, whether mad or sane, they
I will be punished for any crime they
may commit, acts upon all alike as a
deterrent. In England, says the Stand
ard. we have gone to the other extreme,
and the slightest evidence showing that
man or woman's mind is unhinged
upon certain points is considered suffi-
cient to shield them from the conse-
quences OF any crime they may commit
even when that crime is perpetrated
! with an amount of cunning and fore,
| thought sufficient to show beyond doubt
! that the person committing it was per
fectly aware of wrong-doing, and was
sane enough to adopt every prccaution
; against discovcry.-N. Y. journal.

An Elderly NIatron Gives Some Advice TO

advised him yesterday to give up the
house and take smaller and less ex-
pcnsive one, in which, with the servants
we are able to keep, we could be more
comfortable, and he just looked ut me
over the top of his paper and said he
guessed he knew what he could afford
to do and what he couldn't. But 1 know
he is running behind"
Suppose" said the elderly matron,
you had drawn your chair up beside
his and said, as sweetly as you could:
: George, can you spare me moment"
What would he have done?"
why, he'd have laid aside his paper
and said: Certainly, my dear; what is
it?'''
; Exactly. Now, suppose you had
told him that his Judgment was always
SO true that you wanted to ask his adj
; vice about something, What would he
have done?"
Il think he would have kissed me and
asked me what worried me. He is al
ways considerate when I'm troubled"
! ''Quite right. Next, suppose you had
asked his advice about letting one of
the servants go. What them"
"W-e-l-l, think he'd have asked if
could run the house with only one
servant"
Then suppose you had said: Well
the house is pretty large and it would
: be pretty hard, but if you advise it I'll
try. When 1 picked out the house
: did not think"
But didn't pick out the house.
"Of course not. but suppose you had
3 made the error of Judgment yours, new
1 ertheless, and said that you hadn't
realized how hard it would be to run it
! in proper style. Would he have sug-
gestcd a smaller house,"
! lie might have. Yes, l think he
would. He's grumbled once about get
ting lost in it. He'd probably have
asked if 1 could manage with one serv-
ant in smaller house."
And then suppose you had clapped
your hands and exclaimed: Just the
thing! How clever of you to think of it.
Why, we can afford to keep both serv-
ants in 4 smaller house, too, and we can
be as comfortable as with six here.
Then suppose you had kissed him and
said that he always did know just what
to do. What would have happened
neXt?"
why, we'd be looking for another
| house now"
''On his advice or yours?"
His, suppose"
Really"
We'll, don't know He'd think so,
anyway"
''Precisely, my darling, precisely.
Your idea, his advice. Always let him
put the advice in words. There's moth

An Indians Joke.

Two young women We're alone one
day, when a young Indian brave whom
they knew came t., see the man of the
house. The man was away and the In
dian sat down to wait for him. During
this interval the girls, being of lively
turn, began asking him questions about
his former mode of life. Among other
things they asked him to give a war
whoop and show them how he scalped
people, but he gave no answer. Some
time after, when they were talking of
other subjects and had forgotten all
about him, he sprang up suddenly, gave
a war-whoop that made the housetop
ring, then snatching a big knife that
lay on the table with one hand, he took
the top-knot of one of the girls in the
other, and ran the back of the knife
around her scalp. They were each
scalped in this manner and were nearly
frightened out of their wits; but he sat
down and began to laugh and told them
he had only done what they had asked
him to do. They soon re- ,vered from
the shock and laughed heartily at the
Indians .jol1e.-Springfieh Republican.

scorned by the moro liberal business
man of the West. a visitor at Damas-
Gus gives the following description of
horse trade in that city:
A long dispute took place between
the intending purchas ser and the owner,
as the former attempted to beat down
the price by few piastres The owner,
however, seemed very sure of making
favorable sale, even if the present GUS
toner should withdraw. So he re-
manned silent, with an occasional incon-
scquent remark, such as: ut matters
not" "Wallah, who am to argue with
thee?" ''Wallah, my horse is as dust.
Take it without money"
All these expressions are equivalent
to cold negatives, and might naturally
have exasperated the other man, who
had been wasting oceans of rhetoric in
persuasion. Finally, he, in his turn,
exclaimed, with heart-warming show
of generosity and philanthropy:
'Wallah, are we not brothers? Where
fore all this noise? Is it for money!
Allah forbid! You want one thousand
six hundred piastres? Here is the
money. Take it!'' Then he pressed
the bag into the others hand and turned
away. Never mind about your horse.
/ care not for it. Shall we part as enc
mics because of money!"
AT this point the other, who now had
his money secure, ran after his customer,
fell on his neck, and, kissing him on
both cheeks, assured him that the horse
would henceforth be worthless to him;
that, since his brother wished for it, he
must take it as a present. And so the
bargain was concluded.-N. Y. Journal
