CHARACTER IN THE INSANE.

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 a nat ural love of admiration in rather friv- olous girl, but look at the same girl when by some accident or misfortune the mental balance is overthrown. 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, a natural self reliance, no longer controlled by common sense, expands into belief that the patient has done and can do feats beyond the power of any mortal man.-Hospital.

Saying that you prefer serial stories to Talmage's sermons, and then voting for said sermons is like talking one way before election but voting the other way when election day comes. Talk is cheap, but voting is what does the busi- ness. During the five years or more in which the NEWS has published Tal- mage's sermons we frequently heard subscribers grumble becanse the NEWS did not publish serial stories in, prefer ence to Talmage's sermons. We aim to please the majority of our subscribers, consequently on Aug. 23d. we announc- ed in this column that we would give all our subscribers an opportunity to state whether they preferred serial stor- ies to Talmage's sermons. We urged all to vote on this question. The polls have been open over a month, but are now closed. Not one subscriber has voted ip favor of serial stories, but quite g number have voted for the sermons. In fact sorae who had previously stated they did not care for the sermons seem to have changed their minds, at least they have voted for the sermons when forced to make choice. THE NEWS will continue to publish Talmage's ser mons. ... HE NEWS takes pardonable pride in having constituency who pre- fer good sermons to sensational stories. The standard of the NEWS will be main tained, and it seems to us that the re- suit of the vote just taken gives THE NEWS and its subscribers another cause for mutual congratulation.

A Chapter of Interesting Information About
 Some Egyptian Customs.
 When member of an Egyptian fam fly died, all the relatives put on 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 ill life, and king and slave were subject to the same law.
 The record of the life of the deceased had to be examined by a tribunal of 42 judges before he could be given burial with his ancestors If 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 in 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 its reception. Bodies were embalmed in three differ ent ways. The most expensive and mag nifcent method was used upon the bod ies of kings and other persons of dis tinguished rank, the cost amounting to a talent of silver, or $610.
 A number of persons were employed in 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 a certain time had elapsed the body was swathed in lawn fillets, 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 hneaments of the face, the eyebrows and eyelashes were preserved in their natural perfec- tion. Bodies thus embalmed are what we now call Egyptian mummies- Phil adelphia Times.

COUNT THE COST
Before You Vote License.


 Fellow townsmen! You should real ize that North Canaan is noted for ifs homes;its attractive and peaceful homes. Comparatively few persons in this town live in boarding houses. The great majority of our inhabitants, the poor ss well. as the rich, occupy their own dwellings, live under their own vine and fig tree' with no one to molest or make afraid, and all can sing Be it ever so humble there's no place like home"
 Many laboring man in this town has built neat and comfortable house for himself and family. He has invested all his savings in home. and has also been obliged to borrow money and mortgage the property in order to build as good 8 house as he desired. But with industry, sobriety and frugality he will pay that mortgage and own the property. Bear in mind he built sail house under no. license law in North Canaan, and the value of his property depends on said law. Will dwelling houses increase in valne in North Gu naan if the town votes license? With open bars in this town will the laboring man be more apt to save his earnings, pay off his mortgage and keep his homt?
 The writer thinks that if North Ca nsan votes license then property will depreciate in all parts of the town and that many small or medium size dwell lings will not bring more than the mott gage, and the occupants will be sold out of house and home. ...t- .s
 Certain we'll meaning men are haltipg between two opinions just because more or less liquor has been illegally sold iu town the past few months. Said men have heretofore voted no license, but now they say they shall vote license un- less they are assured that illegal liquor selling is to be suppressed. We admit the law has not lately been enforced as it should have been, but to-day the moral sentiment of the community Is aroused and we are assured that in case this town votes no license next Monday the law will be enforced.
 Give no license another chance to to vindicate itself. Try it once more and then if it proves failure we cannot blame you for not adrocating it. but even then we hope you will not vote license unless you can do it with clear con- science. In this article we have not dwelt upon the moral features of this question. We leave that for the clergy to present to you, as we do not wish to ''stoal their thunder" but we have sim ply called your attention to only one of the many ways in which license will affect your home and your pocket book.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by con- stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed you have rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucuous sur faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
