The Weston Asylum.
Kdnarha Gdzstte.

Certain newspapers In this State,
principally Republican papers, DESTROYS
OF bringing discredit upon the Demo
cratic State administration, are making
a great fuss over the appointment OF
DIR. Crumbacker as Superintendent OF
the Insane Asylum and are making the
claim that he is not resident OF the
State and is therefore Ineligible to the
position.
There has been no thought or inten-
ton upon the part OF Governor Mac
Corkle to ignore the physicians OF West
Virginia, as has been intimated. The
fact that DR.. Crumbacker left the State
for awhile aud achieved success in his
profession is no reason why he should
not be appointed to office upon his re-
turn.
In the discussion Of this question
there is one point that seems TO have
been lost sight of, viz: the interests OF
the unfortunate inmates OF the asylum,
rather than the interests OF the man
who may be called to manage the insti-
tuition. The Office Of Superintendent
| of the Asylum was not created for the
benefit of any physician or any number
of physicians in West Virginia who
may desire the salary attached to it.
The very best man that can be secured
for the position is the one who should
be appointed, and no mere technicality
should be employed to deprive the ssy-
lum and the State of his services. The
unfortunate persons in our asylums are
entitled TO every advantage that it Is
possible TO give them. and the attempt
to deprive them OF these advantages
through a technicality indicates sad
want OF sympathy for them among
those who are making all the noise.
We donbt II there is competent and
successful practical physician in the
State who wants the position to which
DIR. Crnmbacker has been appointed.

IL and after several days search concluded
that II has escaped from the house and
gave herself no further uneasinesS re-

But on retiring a few nights after, the
lady. altering the position Of the pillows,
discovered a small object beneath one and,
not detecting what it was, put her hand TO
remove il, when the centipede bit her on
the palm and wrist. 1t waS with difficulty
that she succeeded in detaching the insect
from its hold on her flesh and was Just able
TO kill il when she tainted from the agony
of the wound.
HEE MIND AFFECTED.
When first inflicted the sting resembled
the red appearance of place scared by

Her senses seem affected, particularly
her sight, which appears TO be nearly gone.
Physicians can only explain her symptoms
by the superstition that the poison OF the
insects bite has affected her brain through
the blood, which has reproduced the marks
OF the sting all over the body. A day or
two ago. during one Of her paroxysms, she
seized DR.. Steiubock's hand between her
teeth and gave il severe bite, which soon
began to burn and swell, and II was only

the member was saved. 1t is thought that

A Dance without n Smile.

They have singular kind Of dance
conducted on the greens of country vii
lagos in Russia. The dancers stand
apart, knot of young men here, knot
of maidens there. each sex by itself, and
silent as crowd of mutes. A piper
breaks into tune, a youth pulls off his
cap and challenges his girl with wave
and bow. If the girl is willing, she
waves her handkerchief in token of as
sent. The youth advances, takes cor
ner of the handkerchief in his hand and
leads his lassie round and round.
No word is spoken, and no laugh is
heard. Stiff with cords and rich with
braids the girl moves heavily by herself,
going round and round, and never al
lowing her partner to touch her hand.
The pipe goes droning on for hours in
the same sad key and measure, and the
prize Of merit in this ''circling," as the
dance is called, is given by spectators to
the lassie who in all that summer revelry
has never spoken and never sTiled.--

Swiss Nobility.

A few years ago the question was
asked, docs nobility still exist in
Switzerland" And no one was able to
answer it. OF all the thousand Of Eng
lish folk who haunt the Swiss hotels in
summer not one, it would seem, had
inquired whether that Rudolph Won
Erlach, whose equestrian statue they
must have seen, has any living descen-
dants; not one had ever heard of the
Barnese nobility noblesse which holds
itself so high that it thinks but slightly
of the British legation. Yet from the
Jura to the Lugano there is hardly a
canton-there is perhaps no canton
in which noble families are not to be
found.
Some of these, SUCH as the Plantas
and the Buols of the Grabunden, have
turned their energy into modern chan
nels and make their fortunes, like the
Hausers or the Sellers, out of the Eng
lish and the American tourists. Others
like the Won Allmen, have sunk into a
humber rank. But the greater part re-
main in statu quo, still enjoying in the
towns. or in the country social pres
tige that varies with their wealth and
their intelligence. Temple Bar.

Enrlr Methods of Curing skins.

The original process of curing skins
was probably the simple one of cleaning
and drying them. Removal of the hair
by maceration in water seems to have
been common among the very early
tribes, and one writer has suggested
that the idea was obtained from the
natural process of depilation. They
must certainly have been familiar with
it in the case of drowned animals, where
maceration can be plainly observed.
Following this, smoke, sour milk, oil,
ana the brains of the animals themselves
were found efficacious. Many of these
primitive methods are employed at the
present time, thus bringing into novel
conjunction the days of the rowing Mas
sagete and those Of the thrifty Ameri-
can.-George A. Rich in Popular Science

Polly Saved the vaIuableo.

We had moved into newly built

provements, the electric bell being one
of them.
1t was cold winters night. Mr.. and
Mrs. j. were travelling in Europe and
1he servants were all gathered about the
kitchen fire. Polly was also near the
fire, but in the dining room, which was
up stairs.
She used to see our mistress ring the
bell for the servants to enter, and, like
a clever bird, studied on this for a long
while.
On this night Polly was all alone,
when suddenly the door opened and
two men entered. The room being
dark they could not sec the bird @Ad
began searching for vAluabaes, fer they
were burglars.
Polly now proved her worth. She put
out her claw and pressed the button OF
the electric bell.
1t brought the servants to ths dining
room, where, after short struggle. they
secured the burglars. who were about to
make way with much Of the valuable
silver in the dining room.
