Christmas at the Iowa County Insane
Asylum.

One of the most interesting and
impressive Christmas festivities
ever enjoyed by us was at the Iowa
county insane asylum, on Christmas
eve, the occasion being the pre-
sentation of gifts to the patients of
the asylum, and the inmates Of the
Poor Farm, under the direction Of
the Superintendent, E. j. Perkins,
ESQ, aud Mrs. Perkins, the matron.
The general dearth Of Christmas
trees, in consequence Of their frozen
and broken condition, was substi-
tuted By a, handsome arch loaned
by the Edmund Sunday school.
The taste displayed in the
decoration Of the arch, and the
arrangement Of The presents, showed
superb artistic ability. The arch
was displayed at the east end Of the
spacious dining hall, the patients
and few invited guests nearly
filling the space from the west.
Mr.. Perkins secured the services
of the Edmund choir, and with
their help carried out a very pleas.
ing program, consisting OF singing,
prayer, reading, the rendering Of
"The Two Little Womeu," by two
little girls from the Edmund Sun
day school, and the presentation Of
gifts from the arch
To a visitor, it was most imposing
to see the perfect discipline of the
institution, when a full hundred Of
insane patients were brought to-
gether whose orderly conduct
would grace a church congregation.
Their manifest appreciation OF the
exercises by their elated looks in
responding to the call Of their
names, and acceptance of the
presents, should be an encourage
ment to all philanthropists to main
tain such institutions, aud make re-
peated occasions of joy to such af-
flicted ones, even if the effect is
only momentary.
Iowa county should regard itself
very fortunate in securing such an
efficient management as it has IN
the person Of Mr.. and Mrs. Per
kins. One OF THE GuHsTB.

For Nervous peoplc.

The New York Hcrald's European
edition publishes in its weekly article.
What the Doctors Say two facts
likely to make a stir in the medical
world
The first is an explanation of new
treatment for nervous disease by
injecting beneath the skin solution
of phosphate of soda, which in its
way is not modified by passing
through the digestive tract but is
taken up in its original form and
acts directly on the nervous system,
a portion of the organism for which
it has the greatest affinity. Albert
Robin uses solution of five grammcs
of phosphate Of soda in 100 grammcs
of stcrilizcd distilled water.
The second fact is the researches OF
an English physician. Mr.. Mapother,
on the influence if food on badness.
Since hair contains not less than )
per cent of sulphur, and when gray
20 per cent of silica and 10 per cent
of iron and manganese, he claims
that two OF the forms of food that
nearly every one takes each day
beef and milk-have by their
chemical composition the effect OF
anniEilating these primordial cle,
mcnts Of hair and whitening it at
the roots.
Mr.. Mapother thinks that different
albumcnoid foods. StarchysubstanceS
particularly dark colorcd oats
which contain ~ per cent of silica
have a powerful effect in making
hair grow. The races OF mcr
that have the finest hair are usually
those living on starchy substances
and vegetables.

of 1000 feet per minute Melvin lost
