ABSOLUTELY PURE
He Was Insane.

How sane and reasonable crazy peo-
pie can sometimes appear is by this
time generally known. No doubt it
has been known for hundreds of years.
Probably it was known to Edmund
Burke. But it is hard to apply general
truths to particular eases;and so Burke
himself found it. When he was pre-
pairing the Indictment against Warren
Hastings he was told that a person
who had long resided in India, but was
now an inmate of Bedlam, could prob
ably give him useful information.
He went to Bedlam, accordingly and
was taken to the cell of the maniac,
who gave him, in long, rational and
well-conducted conversation, the re-
suits of long and various experience
of Indian affairs.
On leaving the cell Burk told the
keeper in attendance that the poor
man whom he had just visited was
most iniquitously practiced upon; for
that he was as much in his senses as
any man could be. The keeper assured
him that there was perfectly good
reason for the patients confinement.
With his @Irish impetuosity" Burke
replied that it was an infamous affair;
he would make the matter public or
even bring it before parliament. The
keeper answered.
@Sir, I should be sorry for you to
leave this house under false impress
sion; before you do so, please step back
to the pocr gentleman's cell and ask
him what he had for breakfast"
Burke could not refuse compliance
with SO reasonable request. He went
baek.
pray sir" said he to his Indian
counsellor, 4bs SO obliging as to tell
me what you had for breakfast"
The man at once put on the wild
stare of a maniac and shouted: @Hob-
nails, sir! 1t is shameful to think how
they treat US. They give US nothing
but hob-nails!" and proceeded with
"descant wild" about the horrors of
the cookery of Bethlehem hospital.
At the first pause in his talk Burke
was glad to make his escape.-Y Youths

Statistics of Crime and Criminals

Every reader knows what absurd
conclusions as to the social and moral
condition of country are often drawn
from imperfect statistics, but DIR. Will
liam Dufield Robinson, physician for
ten years to the Eastern P2nitentiary
OF Pennsylvania, has figured some facts
down to fine point. He declares that
the sentences to the penitentiary may
be taken as fairly representative of the
total amount of crime prevailing in the
entire district from which it receives
prisoners, and that the extent of terri
tory and period of time covered by the
calculation make the deductions fair
index of the criminal phenomena of the
whole country.
He argues that reformation is prac-
ticable from the fact that one-third of
the criminals are between 20 and %
years of age. He finds that men of go
are about eight times as trustworthy
as men of 25, or, to put it in another
way, of eight men who are criminals
at 25 seven will be law-abiding citizens
at 60. A terror of the law has brought
about the reformation in most cases, he
thinks.
1t is true that an overwhelming ma
jority of criminals are young, but does
it follow that most of them reform as
they grow olderP Is it not likely that
they die twice as fast as other men?
His division of crimes as to the age
when they are most common is vert
interesting. He concludes that per-
sonal assaults, including assault and
battery in all its forms, mayhem, poison
ing, and sensual crimes are steadily on
the increase, and forgery and counter
'feiting on the decline.-N. 7. Ad0er.

Neatly Done with the Lasso.

"The prettiest throw of the lasso I
ever saw was down in New Mexico last
summer" said D. c. Smith, western
cattleman. Il had gone out to look at
a bunch of cattle 1 thought of buying,
and was standing in front of the own
er's house discussing the proposed
trade. A two-year-old child was play
ing about the lawn, when suddenly it
clapped it's hands and cried out as
though highly elated. I turned my
head and saw, to my horror, that it
was amusing itself with monster rat
tlesnake that had just coiled to strike.
1t was shooting its forked tongne out
almost into the face of the child, and
it was this action that so pleased the
little one. At my side stood Mexi-
can cowboy with a lasso on his arm.
Quick as a flash it went whizzing
through the air and closed around the
neck of the serpent just as it drew its
head back for the fatal stroke. The
father of the child nodded his head,
remarked that it was capital throw,
and resumed our discussion with i'm
perturbable gravity. Your Mexican
is nothing if not stoical. 1t is the re-
suit of his Indian blood.-jSt. Louis

Apologized for the Parson.

There is story OF a clergyman who
had taken temporary duty for friend
and who had the i'll luck to injure his
false teeth during the week. The plate
was sent to the dentists for repairs,
faithful assurance being given that
it should be returned by Sundays
post; but the dentist or the post proved
faithless. With the assistance of the
clerk the clergyman managed to
stumble through the prayers, but felt
it would be useless to attempt to
preach. He therefore instructed the
clerk to tsmake some excuse for him
and dismiss the congregation. But his
feelings may be better imagined than
described when, in the seclusion of
the vestry, he overheard the clerk, in
impressive tones, thus deliver the sex
cuse": Parsons very sorry, but it is
his misfortune to be obligated to wear
a set of artful teeth. They busted last
Wednesday, and he amt got them
back from London to-day as he was
promised. I've helped him all I could
through the service. but can't do no
more for him; 'tisn't any use him go
ing up into the pulpit, for you wouldn't
understand a word he said, SO he
thinks you may as well go home. ~
