The staff of state hospital of one
thousand patients would consist of
medical superintendent, five assistant
physicians and woman physician. In
a hospital OF that capacity there would
never be more than one hundred pa
tients who would be considered cura BILE,
and the number would probab not
exceed sixty. More than nine hundred
pa tients would be hopelessly incura bic,
for the most part the wrecks of past
disease, who practically need nothing
but kindly custodial care with Incl
dental medical treatment. Two, or at
most three physicians could easily do
all that humanitarian spirit might
deem necessary for such a number Of,
this class of patients. Three or four
physicians would thus be left to devote
themselves to the cura BILE patients In
stead of constructing anneXes for the
harmless patients. let these be lodged
and cared for in the huge barracks like
main buildings the creation and legacy
of former generation. Then erect at
suita ble distances from the main build
ing three or four houses for the treat
ment of the cura ble patients These
should be built simply and COM
fortably. so constructed as to do
away with the huge institu-
tional feeling and to give them
a homelike appearance, and so fur
nished as to take away as much as pos
sible all indica tions of confinement
and restraint They should contain no
wards, but plainly furnished single
rooms with sitting rooms, thus permit
ting the utmost privacy, with the op-
portunity of intercourse when deemed
beneficial.
Here the real medical work Of the
hospital should be done, and no labor
should be spared which would in any
way tend to the recovery of the pa
tient or help to solve any of the un-
known problems OF insanity.
Electricity, massage, baths of all
kinds, thorough examination of the
blood and the various excretions, the
use ef the sphygmogra ph and ophthal-
moscope. together with very thor
ongh physical examination would easi-
ly and most profita oily keep employed
the number of physicians assigned to
the acute cases. For it is in this acute
and presumably durable period that
the case should have everything that
medical skill and unremitting atten-
ton under the most favora BILE circum-
stances can confer. The disease must
be arrested in this beginning stage if
it be in our power to arrest it-Dr.

New York Dispatch: Prof. Her
mann exhibited a new trick which he
gives the suggestive name of "The
Escape from Sing Sing" at the Grand
opera house yesterday afternoon, be-
fore some friends and newspaper men.
When the curtain went up two ma
hogany, cages, raised on legs, were
standing in the center of the stage.
After showing that he could walk en-
tirely around each of the cages and
that there was apparently no connec-
tion from either above Dr. below, an
assistant entered clad in the typical
prison stripes. After a mock struggle
this individual, whom Prof. Hermann
introduced az Roehl, vas placed in
one of the cages. Curtains on the in
side were drawn down all around and
the doors were locked. The professor
fred a pistol shot, and down the aisle
from the front of the house came run
ming the man whom a moment before
had been seer locked in the cage,
which remained closed as before. The
doors weren now opened, and crouching
in one corner was a man Of entirely
different appearance and build from
the prisoner, dressed in the uniform
of a guard. The prisoner was now
hustled into the other cage and lock.
ed in as before. The first cage was
then locked, and by means of a block
and tackle hoisted several feet from
the stage. Another shot from the
pistol. and, presto, the curtains in the
hanging cage flew up and there be.
hind the bars stood the prisoner. The
other cage-the one in whichthe pris.
oner had been placed-was at the
same moment opened by the professor
and was empty. The trick 10 . most
effective one and is sufficiently mysti.
flying to keep the public guessing for
9 long time to come.

Persons travelling by railway are sub
ject to conti1 uel annoyance from the
flying cinders. On getting into the
eyes they are not only painful for the
moment, but are often the cause of
long suffering, that ENDS i'm a total loss
of sight. A very simple and effective
cure Is within the reach of everyone,
and would prevent much suffering
and expense were it generally known.
1t is simply II or two grains of flax
seed. These may be placed in the eye
without injury or pain to that deli
cate organ, and shortly they begin to
swell and dissolve a glutinous sub
stance that covers the ball of the eye,
enveloping any foreign substance that
may be in it. The irritation of cut
ting the membrane is thus prevented
and the annoyance may soon be wash
ed out. A dozen of these grains
slowed away in the vest pocket may
prove, in an emergency, worth their
number in gold.

Worlds Fair is the greatest that ever

exposition in history in which women
took active official part in the
management and the first one in
which the work of women has as

CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP.
A pittsburg Man Accidently Discharged a
Gun Set for Thieves.

Gun Set for Thieves.
Foreman James II. Uptegraff, of
the Keystone Manufacturing and
Supply company, of Pittsburg, set a
heavily loaded spring gun for thieves,
who for some time past have been
stealing brass castings and scraps.
When he came to open the works one
morning he inadvertently ran into
his own trap, and the old musket dis
charged its load into his right leg,
below the knee, which was nearly
torn from his body, and had to be
amputated shortly afterward. The
firm had been losing hundreds CT
dollars, worth of brass, while every
effort to detect the thieves had
proved futile. This led Uptegraff to
exercise his ingenuity IN inventing
this internal machine, which was set
on a box in the middle of the foundry
department, and so arranged with
strings attached to its trigger and
running in various directions, that
anyone entering would trip on the
string and discharge the gun at their
legs. He had set the gun every
night for some weeks past. On this
morning in his haste to reach the
office and open up he forgot all about
the trap, and started hurriedly to
take a short cut across the foundry
floor, tripping on one of the strings
and firing the gun. 1t happened at
GAS, and for half an hour he lay
there alone and helpless, w~eltering
in his own blood. William Palmer
in passing the building heard Upte-
CRAFTS groans, and getting inside
found him in a terrible condition.
Assistance was summoned, and he
was taken't to the West Pennsylvania
hospital, where his leg was ampu-
tated. He had lost so much blood be-
fore being found that his condition is
very critical. He has a wife and
family.
