san. suggestion. From the Insane.

LAnti-Alieniste is the title Of O re-
markable and amusing little sheet writ
ten and produced by the patients-they
would, no doubt, strongly object TO be-
ing called lunatics-of the great Bicetre
asylum. Its editor In chief IL one Charles
Etlinger. Its circulation Is limited, 40
copies being ss large an edition as can
be produced by the gelatfne process.
Politics and religion find no place In it,
but it excels in satire, directed mainly
against the doctors
Its prose is not one whit more incoher-
ent than that of the boulevards. Serious
discussions are not tabooed. Apropos Of
q communication by DR.. Charles Fere TO
the Society of Biology relative to the
transmission Of madness from men to
animals, Etlinger in a recent number
inveighs against the promiscuousness In
asylums which allows of the exchange
of all sorts Of madness between man
and man. He demands to know what
amount Of reason II Is necessary 10 pos
sess to resist "A long stay In an asylum
like Bicetre, where the iron cages con-
verge toward common center and
where the raving madmen disturb their
more peaceful neighbors. News.

A Word For Farmers-

The great drawback on many farms to
the highest success with cows is the
want of good pasture. Many pastures
are stocked with early grasses which
give fair amount of feed early in the
season, but after the last of July begin
to fail. and through the remainder Of the
season afford but scanty feed. There is
but one way for the farmer to bridge
this chasm Of poor pasturage, by adopt
ing partial soiling system-that Is, to
get near the full benefit of his dairy

why Delaware's boundary Is Circular.


The northern boundary line of Della
ware Is circular because the charter
given 10 Penn states that Pennsylvania
was to be bounded on the east by the
Delaware river from 10 miles distant
north Of New Castle town until the three
and fortieth degree of north latitude" I"
and that the southern boundary was to
be "a circle drawn at 12 miles distant
from the town Of New Castle northward
and westward until the fortieth degree
Of north latitude and then by straight
line westward" This makes circular
boundary for northern Delaware una
voidable, and the facts above set forth
explain geographical curiosity that has
puzzled many students.-St. Louis Re

What They Wanted.

the proprietor of the bank asked what the
trouble was this man replied:
Its jest this, Jim-we can't make out
that monthly statement you got out yester-
day."
Whats wrong with it?"
'She says deposits amount to 81 600 and
cash on hand $4,000"
well, that's correct, and I can't see
where You have any fault to find" said the
president
Yes. but the boys don't go much Oh fig

you know. Hev you got them 'cre $4,000

II have"
"Waal, won't you Jest stand up OH chair
and wave that money in the air Il few times
and let the boys see the color of it? Don't
want to put you to any special trouble, you
know, but the crowd kinder wants to feel
sure about it,"
The banker got the money from the safe
and followed the suggestion and asked if
they were satisfied.
That's all right" replied the spokesman
1--WE amt much on lggers, but we know
money when we see it. Them deposits is
