CHARACTER mi THE INSANE.
A Deeply Interesting Study, Though at
Times Attended With Sadness.

A Deeply Interesting Study, Though at
Times Attended With Sadness.
IF it is deeply interesting to study
character among the insane, it is also at
times both saddening and humiliating.
We often look with indulgence upon
what we call harmless vanity or nat
ural love of admiration in a rather friv-
olous girl, but look at the same girl
when by some accident Or misfortune
the mental balance is oyerthrown. Now
she believes and does not hesitate to say
that she is perfectly beautiful, has an
exquisite figure, is in every way charm=
ing and attractive and that every man
who sees her Immediately falls violently
in love with her. 1t is only an absurdly
exaggerated sense Of self Importance
that produces the very common delu=
sion that the patient is a king or a
queen, even deity.
Again a natural humility and tend
ency to self depreciation are frequent
ly exaggerated by disease into the de-
fusion that the patient is an object OF
dislike and contempt to every one, that
he has committed some crime, and that
consequently he is beyond redemption
and is regarded with horror by all
around him. If he is of religious turn
of mind, he believes himself to be eter-
nally lost and sinks into state Of chron-
ic melancholy and apathy. On the other
hand, natural self reliance, no longer
controlled by common sense, expands
into a belief that the patient has done
and can do feats beyond the power Of
any mortal man. Hospital.

How to Insure Peaceful and Refreshing

WHAT is A MUMMY?
A Chapter ofInteresting Information About
Some Egyptian Customs.

some ESypClan CUSTOMS
When member Of an Egyptian fam
lily died, all the relatives put Oh mourn
ing and abstained from baths, wine and
delicacies Of all kinds from 40 to 60
days, according to the rank of the per-
son deceased. Death in one respect put
an end to all distinctions that had pre-
vailed in life, and king and slave were
subject to the same law.
The record OF the life of the deceased
had to be examined by tribunal of AZ
judges before he could be given burial
with his ancestors. II the deeds of his
life proved that he was worthy Of
burial, his body was carried across the
sacred lake, of which each province had
one, and was there permitted to rest. If
the judges found him unworthy, even
though he belonged to the highest rank,
he could not be buried with his ances-
tors. The body was returned to his rela-
tives and was buried on the side Of the
lake opposite to the burial place of the
just.
The belief of the Egyptians i'll fu-
ture state of existence gave rise to the
practice Of embalming the dead. They
wished to carefully preserve the body,
SO that the soul upon its return to its
former abode at the end of all things
might find it ready for it's reception.
Bodies were embalmed in three differ
ent ways The most expensive and mag
nificent method was used upon the bod
les Of kings and other persons of dis
tinguished rank, the cost amounting to
a talent Of silver, or 1910.
A number Of persons were employed
i'll the process of embalming, and they
were treated with great respect. They
filled the cavities of the body with
myrrh, cinnamon, spices and many
kinds Of sweet smelling drugs.
After certain time had elapsed the
body was swathed in lawn tillets, which
were glued together with kind Of thin
gum, and then crusted over with costly
perfumes. By this mode of embalming
the shape of the body, the lineaments
of the face, the eyebrows and eyelashes
were preserved in their natural perfec-
ton. Bodies thus embalmed are what
we now call Egyptian mummies.

room attracted me, and turning my eyes
involuntarily i'll that direction almost
expired from fear, for into tho chamber,
her head bowed and wringing her hands
in evident distress of mind, there en-.
tered the lady Of the portrait. The coun-
terpart was exact-tho dress, the pattern
Of the lace, even the rings upon her
slender white fingers. That it was a
spirit never for q moment doubted.
Slowly she approached the bedside
without noticing me at first and seated
herself in a heavy armchair few feet
away, still moaning and wringing her
beautiful hands. Raising her eyes at
last, she seemed to become conciouss of
my presence and spoke.
ooh, pray for me,' she moaned,
'spray for my soul. Oh, pray for me,
I know not what power possessed me
at that moment, but suddenly, in spite
of my abject terror, found myself up
right upon my knees i'll the bed pouring
forth prayer for the beautiful, dis
tressed spirit before me. AS the words
fell from my ips-words which seemed
to be uttered through rather than by
mel noticed that she seemed to grow
calmer and at last turned her sorrow
stricken face full upon me. noticed,
too, and with the utmost terror, that
the candle had burned down to the
wood, and that in another moment we
would be in darkness. Still the earnest
words poured from my lips, and the
face before me seemed to be growing
misty in the Pickering light of the ex-
piring candle. Suddenly the figure rose
from the chair, and taking one step to-
ward me stretched forth her exquisite
arms above mine and vanished As she
did SO I distinctly felt something hot,
like wax from a dripping candle, fall
upon the back of my right hand. At
that instant, too, the candle gave one
final flare and went out.
When consciousness returned, was
lying across the bed, and the sun was
streaming i'll at the open window. For
a moment I was little dazed at my
surroundings; then it all came back to
me. Seized with a wild panic-such
panic as possesses stampeding cattle-I
caught up my clothes and my horses
saddle and fled. AS passed the portrait
its eyes seemed to follow me and added
to my terrors. Through the dusty
rooms, out Of the weed grown yard,
tore as one distraught to where my
horse was quietly waiting. A moment
later was urging him down the unfre-
quented path.

in my frantic fight Then, suddenly
remembering, glanced at the back Of

The Damage Done by This Pest and the
Best Way to Hold 1t In Check.
The pear nudge is one of the insects
which have been introduced into the
United States within recent years and
are causing good deal of injury in the
eastern states.
The adult insect or fly is described as
much resembling diminutive mosqui-
to- It makes its appearance very early
in the season before the pear blossoms
open. The female deposits her eggs in
the latter by piercing the petals or the
calyx. The nudge larvae 1--we on the
substance of the pear tissue, destroying
the seed and checking the growth Of the
fruit, which decays and drops in early
summer. Our illustration shows a sound
young pear and one deformed by the pear
nudge larvae.
IL .--e'+ difficulty encountered in
fighting this insect lies in the fact that
there is no period at which it is within
reach of ordinary Insecticides. The eggs
are laid i'll the bud before it opens, and
the young larvae get into the heart Of
the fruit before it is fully formed The
adult fly does not feed and is hence be-
yond our reach. It is only after the in
jury is done that the insect goes under
ground and within reach of destructive
agencies.
AS a preventive measure it is recon-
mended that the trees be examined as
soon as the pears are we'll set and that
every infested or suspected pear be
picked off and completely destroyed,
while if an orchard is generally infested
the following practice is recommended.
Cultivate as usual, or if the orchard
is in grass or clover pillow under after
June Is as soon as may be. Top dress
with kainit 1000 pounds to the acre to
benefit trees as we'll as to kill the in

August, sow crimson clover. This will
use up the potash not required by the
fruit trees and will store nitrogen as
we'll as occupy the ground. EARLY the
following spring turn this SOC. under as
deeply as may be proper. It should be
done before the pear buds are developed

JOHN BULL IN AFRICA.
The Crafty Old Gentleman Now Owns About
14OO. 600 Suuare Miles.

The Crafty Old Gentleman Now Owns About
100000 Square Miles.
The latest acquisition Of African ter
ritory gives Great Britain an unbroken
line across the length of Africa from
the Mediterranean and the Nile to the
extreme point Of the continent In all,
this territory, held in various ways,
from Cape Colony up to the "occupa-
tom Of Egypt, is in extent about l, 400,
900 square miles and has population
of 80, 00O,0 600. In the Nile valley it in
cludes incomparably the best Of north
Africa. In Uganda it holds the key to
the lakes of central Africa, nearly as
large as our own lake system. The new
treaty gives it the high land west of
Lake Tanganyika, considerably higher
and healthier than the eastern, in Ger
man hands.
The new conquests Of the British
South Africa company add the great ia
blelands of the interior Of subtropical
Africa, in much of which white men
live. Lastly, there is Cape Colony. the
only vital European settlement in all
Africa. AS it stands this great high
way holds two-thirds of all Of Africa in
which Europeans can live and carry on
efficient administration. It has the
most fertile tract in the continent in
Egypt, its healthiest in Cape Town, it's
greatest gold mines and the only region
from which tropical Africa can be con-
trolled.
Still more important is its relation to
African water courses. A steamer can
start at Alexandria and run, when the
mahdi's successor is cleared away, to a
point on Albert Edward Nyanza, 1876
miles from Lake Tanganyika. This runs
to within 70 miles Of Lake Nyassa. From
this lake the Shire river, broken at
Murchisen falls, descepds to the Fam
best and the Indian ocean. From nav
igable point ON the Congo is less than
100 miles to Lake Tanganyika. The
Aruwini runs as near the Nile. It is
possible to start at the mouth Of the Fam
bezi and reach the mouth of the Konge
or Nile with less than zoe miles of land
travel, and the key and center to this
great system is now in English hands:

Kite Flying In Burma.

Mr. e. D. Cunning, author Of In the
Shadow of the Pagoda, describes the
Burmese as much given to kite flying,
an amusement that they contrive to en-
joy with a minimum Of bodily exertion.
Their method of operations is very sim
1le. Says Mr.. Cunning:
You pare down two 10 inch slips of
bamboo, tie them at their centers cross
wise, run q thread around the four tips
and paste I. Jon this frame one thickness
Of paper. Tie nail Or small screw
nut to one corner, and your kite is made.
The altitude that well made kite of
this kind will reach is wonderful, and
the lightest breath of wind will take it
up. A hundred and fifty or 200 yards
of strong sewing thread, wound on a
skeleton reel Of inches in diameter and
s inches in length, completes the equip
ment.
Then, having started the kite by a
process of gentle playing, you squat
down in the middle Of the street, so as
to keep your thread clear of the houses
and let the kite help itself
y
cunning, the kite rises almost perpen-
dicularly, bringing you joy in the envy
and admiration OF those who cannot
make a sleeper angle than 40 degrees.
The kite having taken out all the thread,
you sit and contemplate it poised still
and clear in the upper air for few
hours.
In Rangoon, on a still morning or
evening, hundreds of kites float over
the Burmese quarter Of the town, some
nearly out of sight, others lowering just
above the roofs. When driving, your
syce has frequently to halloo out of the
way middle aged man who is backing
slowly down in midstreet coaxing his
kite up. He goes about the business
with ponderous solemnity that raises
it to the dignity Of a science.
