Queer Theory About Insanity.


ssThere is so thing in the atmos-
pheric conditions that develops insanity
and murderous impulses" said student
of human nature. .s'That is my theory.
It is like the grip and other diseases that
prevail at certain times and under GER
tain conditions. There are all sorts of
diseases and impulses in people, and it
only needs the conditions to develop
them. Insanity. is peculiar disease,
and to greater or less degree exists in
a pretty large proportion of mankind.
''In most cases it is shown in a harm
less idiosyncracy and excites no more
comment than mild ridicule, but in
many cases it has a homicidal tendency
that is suddenly and unexpectedly de-
veloped. Can this be through natural
and general causes or is it imitation that
produces these mind waves? believe It'll
the former-that general causes similar
to the conditions that produce the grip
wave, the cholera wave, the horse dis
temper wave or any other disease of a
season also tend to unbalance the badly
balant ID mind. New York Herald.

The Average Sleeping Room.


Look into the sleeping room OF the
laborer, the clerk, the mechanic. where
they spend from seven to nine hours OF
the twenty-four. Generally they are
the smallest and most announcement
rooms in the house; on the shady side,
with one window, precluding any thor
ough ventilation. Even this one Win
dow may be so arranged that the wind
will blow directly on the sleeper's head
if left open at night. Perhaps there is
a small closet where, for want of other
room, soiled clothing, boots, shoes and
other belongings are kept. Oftenti1nes
row of hooks on the wall is the only
apology for closet, and the clothing
hung on them adds to the general stuff
ness of the room.
In this small, i'll ventilated room two
grown persons sleep, with baby or
small child added - sometimes both.
What wonder that the children are cross
and have no appetite in the morning?
How can the parents be fitted for their
daily labor, after sleeping in such a
room? The boarding houses are no bet
ter, especially among the cheaper class,
many sleeping rooms being hardly
larger than closet.-Good Housekeep-

RAUM'S ROTTEN Ess.

New York World: The committee
charged with investigating pension office
methods has its report nearly ready for
publication. -
1t recommends the dismissal of Raum,
Of course. No honest committee could
have failed to do that in view of the facts
revealed by the testimony.
Raum began his career in Office by the
indecency Of making his dissolute son as
sistant chief clerk and giving him power
over appointments and promotions which
that youth used so scandalously that he
was dismissed by order of Secretary
Noble.
Raum filled the Office with other clerks
whose conduct as revealed by the testi.
mony, has been that of rascals.
He prostituted the work of the bureau
to partisan ends.
He used his official position for his own
private advantage in ways utterly shame
less and scandalous.
He dickered for the financial favor of a
notorious pension shark and made office
regulations which gave to that person a
distinct and very valuable advantage over
other attorneys in bureau business.
In brief, Raum has made the pension
OuHCe d scduuid III bue eyes OI Tue country,
and has shown himself to be a per
son unfit in character and conduct to
hold any Office under the government.
If the administration had respected
itself and the country the shame of Raum
would have been long ago removed by his
dismissal. Now that the facts are to be
set forth in their ugly nakedness in an
official report it is to be hoped that at
last this shameless speculator will be per-
mitted to carry On his business as "pro-
moter" of refrigerator and other doubtful
enterprises without the aid of official in
huence.
