Sane suggostIons Trom tho Insane

L'Anti-Alieniste is the title of 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 Bioetre
asylum. It's editor in chief is one Charles
Etlinger. Its circulation is limited, 40
copies being as large an edition as can
be produced by the gelatine process.
Politics and religion find no place in it,
but it excela in satire, directed mainly
against the doctors.
It's prose ia not one whit more incoher-
ent than that of the boulevards, Serious
discussions are not tabooed. Apropos of
communication by DIR. Charles Fere to
the Society of Biology relative to the
transmission of madness from men to
animals, Etlinger in o recent number
inYeighs against the promiscuousness In
asylums which allows Of tho exchange
Of all sorts of madness between man
and man. He demands to know what
amount of reason it is necessary to pos
sess to resist a long stay in an asylum
like Bicetre, where the iron cages con-
verge toward q common center and
where the raVing madmen disturb their
more peaceful netghbors. London News.

pntohwnr1, For RornItv.

An amusing episode occurred the other
day in connection with tho royal we'd
ding. The Duke of York went with tho
Princess May to open q new town hall
which has just been erected at Rich-
moud, just before the royal party drove
up very old woman laden with an
enormous parcel pushed her way TO the
front and refused to pay any attention
to the protests of either crowd or police.
When threatened with superior force,v
however, she admitted that her object
was to present her wedding gift to the
royal couple. On inquiry this proved
to be gigantic patchwork guilt of
worsted stockings for the Duke Of York.
The old lady had made them and was
determined to present them herself. II
was, however, represented TO her that
this was an unsuitable occasion, and she
retired with the intention Of taking
them to White lodge, London Letter,

the following notice to Che physicians of

q result of some other illness from which

"But how do you like the people?'
replied: 81 like the common

especially when | was sick.
| waited for them to ask me how ]
liked the religion, but this they did
not do. Nevertheless l said to them
"Much as l like some Of your people,
some of whom l am corresponding
with now, wish you to know that
dislike your priesthood and religion,
l shall use my influence against them
as long asI live"
They answered. ''NVe are glad tc

The largest Republican majorities in

nearly 10000. Only five Demo-

have been elected out of thirty one.
The Republicans will have a majority
of nearly eighty on joint ballot-the
greatest victory for protection and
sound currency in Ohio since the
birth of the Republican party.

This is the largest plurality in
twenty years. Three times as great

other cities, go abroad to do their
