Sana ,Sgestions From the Insane

L'Anti-. lieniste is the title of a 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 Is one Charles
Et!inger. Its circulation is limited, 40
copies being as large an edition as can
BE- produced by tine gelatine process.
Politics and religion find no place in it.,
but 1t excels i'll 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 l. necessary to nos.
sess 10 resist 4 long stay in an asvlum
like Bicetre. where the iron cages con-
verge toward common center and
where the raving madmen disturb their

CITY OF MEXICO, March l6.-Parties in
from the state of Chiapas, on the southern
border of Mexico,te tell of a peculiar financial
condition which holds there just now. AL.
though the state is regularly in the Mex.

 In the star garden of the skies? To sleep through twilight eyes of June Beneath the sound of lullabyss To hold up hurts for all to sees ySSss Sob at imaginary harms? To clasp in welcome a fathers knee
 And At so we'll to a mothers arms? To have life bounded by one dull road, wood and pond, and to feel no lack, To gaze with pleasure upon toad,
 And caress mud turtles horny back9 To follow the robins cheerful hop
 With all the salt small hands can hold And coaxingly entreat it to stop

 finally had to be contented with beg ging her not to scare the child into keeping still, the first thing, even if she had taken it.
 They were interrupted by Cynthia herself, who came rushing past the window, breathless and rosy with ex- ercise, her bonnet hanging by the strings around her ceck. and her fair hair blown into tiny curls about her face.
 She gave Miss Dorinda no chance to speak. but began talking almost be- fore she was in the room
 "Oh Miss Mariah, I've been all over the meadow and down to the orchard hunting that turkey hen, and I found it down by the spring, in the high grass you know, and she's got nest and six little turkeys. six, Miss Mariah. and she's so cross, and made her get up, to count them, and there right in the edge of the nest, was Miss Do- rindas pin, and it is not hnrt one mite, and she paused breathless, as 'she unclasped a small brown hand and triumphantly held ont the pin.
 Miss Dorinda gave quick glance at her sister, even before she took the broach. In the look was more appeal than Miss Dorinda often put into a glance.
 She was distinctly conscious of feel ing ashamed of herself and of not wanting the child to know what she had thought. But she need not have feared, for Cynthia was as unconscious as possible. and when she had gained her breath went on again.
 The turkey must have taken it, for you said she took one of your hand kerchiefs once. Miss Mariah. and l re. member that she followed me into the spare room the day after l came, when Miss Dorinda sent me to get some sassafras out of the closet. l-I did stop at the bureau and look at the pin and after 1 put it down, she must have picked it up and gone right down to the nest; don't you think SO? But it's funny she did not lose it in the high grass I never did hear of such a turkey"
 Well, it may be funny, but that's the last brood she'll ever raise said Miss Dorinda, decisively.
 When the three weeks were up, it was Dorinda who proposed keeping the child, if she wanted to stay. She had at last found her way to. Miss Dorinda's heart. She is with them still. and has brought fresh life into the house. until it hardly seems the same place.

UNOBSTRUCTED VISION.
"A Cheap Way to Mend Eyeglasses Under

A Cheap Way to Mend Eyeglasses Under
 Certain Circumstances.
 A queer little incident, which had some thing of the uncanny about it and at the same time a dash of the humors ous, occurred in the office of promi- nent concern, while the gleaner was waiting to see the head of the house on business A gentleman of the very respectable class entered and took 8 seat. He wore an expensive pair of gold trimmed spectacles, across the right glass of which were pasted two pieces of paper in the form of an l.. Of course this attracted my attention at once and l wondered what it meant, as the paper must have entirely ob- scured the vision of the aforesaid right optic.
 Presently another gentleman, an ac. quaintance of nim of the gold specta- cles. also came into the office. He nodded a good morning, and then, his eyes catching sight of the strips of paper on the glass of his friend, he asked him what on earth they were for.
 "Oh broke my glasses" was the  reply, ''and this is the cheapest way l could find of mending them. You know times are hard, and we have to save every cent we can"
 That seems like false economy. though" responded the friend. II should think that it would ruin your right eye, for, of course, you cannot see out of it with that pasteboard over it"
 Ut is very true that cannot see with the right eye. but the paper does not harm it. See here;" and the gen tleman took off his glasses, reached into his pocket and took out his but tonhook. This he inserted deftly in his right eye, gave it turn and out dropped a glass eye.
 You see the paper can't hurt that" he added, and while l can't zee ont of the eye it does not obscure my vis- ion"
 The argument was plain, and while it seemed paradoxical, my curiosity. as that of the friend. was satisfied--- St Louis Republic.
