Some Rather Odd Scholars

In one school for the insane the pupils range in age from. fourteen to seventy seven. Preference, however, is given to the younger ones who desire to attend, more than half being under forty, near ly one-third under thirty, and about one eighth under twenty years of aga They suffer from the various forms of mental trouble, but here again preference is given to those who have melAncholiA and the more acute forms of insanity.
 Chronic cases are not excluded, how ever, and among those who can receive no benefit save the two hours daily re- lief from the monotony of asylum life 4re two Virgin Marys. one queen of the world, one daughter of ex-President Cleveland, who is nearly seventy years of age, two whom imagine that they have passed from the scenes, of earth and dwell among the dead, land one who has the curious delusion that peo pie are constantly walking on her fin. gers.-C.

 Matrimonial Ventures.

Both the Mrs. Brayleys ElOpe With Their
 Husbands Brother.

A StraEe Story of Marital Experiences
 Mrs. BrayleY No. skips, and After se-
 curing a Divorce MT. Brayley Marries
 n Ruhaway-NO. 9 Also Flees With His
 Brother, and No. l Pays Her Former
 Husband Consolation Visit.
 BOSTON, Feb. 6.-Charles Brayley, a man 40 years old, resident of Brighton has had a strange matrimonial ex- perience. He has been married twice and each time the wife has eloped. The man in the case on both occasions was Brayley's own brother Alfred
 About fifteen years ago Charles Bray ley married at Canaan, N. H., hand some young woman. Everything went along Pwimmingly for couple of years, until i in an unfortunate moment, Charles invited his brother Alfred to visit him. Alfred took fancy to Charles wife, his attentions to her were encour- aged, and as a natural sequence an elope- ment followed. Charles waited for quite a while for his wife to return, but she never came. He then procured q divorce.
 Seven years ago he made the acquaint- ance of Mrs. Frank Gould, of Danbury, x. II. } She, too, was runaway, but Charles cared little for that, and mar riage is said to have taken place
 Mrs. Brayley No. and Alfred lived together for n short time and then sepa- rated. The woman decided to lead a better. life and remarked. She is now the wife of well-to-do business man of Lynn, and is a prominent member of a society which has for its object the rescue of fallen women.
 Alfred, in the meantime, continued his reckless career, and two months ago completed years sentence for running away with another mans wife. There was still another charge pending against him, to escape which he came to Charles home to remain in seclusion.
 Charles was happy with wife No. ?, and forgave his brother for running away with the former Mrs. Brayley. His happiness did not last long. Alfred, who had no conscientious scruples against despoiling another man's home, soon gained the confidence of Mrs. Brayley No. 2, and the couple have eloped. Charles Brayley is heartbroken.
 An interesting feature of the case de veloped when wife No. journeyed from Lynn to console her former husband. To a reporter who called at the house while the woman was present, she explained that she was interested in that sort oi | work now and intended to do all she | could for Charles.

Conversational Ability.

A young woman unconsciously struck the keynote of conversational ability in her comment the other day upon a friend: 'l like to talk to him." she said emphatically he makes me think of something to say" The ability to draw out ones companion in conversation is far greater and rarer than the possession of fuency in expressing ones own opin- ions.
 A persistent talker, even if brilliant, becomes tiresome after little. Said 6 clever hostess, planning dinner which she wished specially successful, "I can't ask Mrs. S., though on some accounts should like to; she talks so unceasingly that she soon depresses the company" A man expanded the same idea little more when he said he enjoyed encoun- tering a person slow to awaken to the spirit of conversation. "There is nc game" he says, "in these brilliant peo- pie who meet you alert, many sided, re spending instantly to every subject Sug. gested. All you can do is to go down before them, while the other sort it is 6 pleasure and subtle fattery to one's skill to rouse and develop."-Her Point oi View in New York Times.

During inventory we find there are several lines that must be closed out, to make them GO we have put the prices surprisingly low. Do you know that a thing may be amusingly cheap: Do you know that prices may go so low as to go laughingly low :! It's a rather comical idea, but we can give you the best evil dence of it's truth. We have put @ lot of $30 .Overcoats into our TWELVE DOL LAR lot, it's rediculous, but it's true. We have filled our south show window with fine Puff Scarfs, $1.0O, $1.25, $l.5O, you choice for 50 cents. Sometimes a little blood letting doesn't hurt a patient: sometimes little cutting in prices has an invigorating effect on trade. Our sale of Seal Caps at $2, and SIS to $25 Overcoats for $12, boomed OUT business in January. We will give bargains that will make February lively.
