CHARACTER IN THE INSANE.
A Deeply Interesting Study. Though
 Times Attended With Sadness.

A Deeply Interesting Study, Though ai
 Times Attended With Sadness.
 If it is deeply interesting to study character among the insane, it is also at times both saddcning and humiliating. We often look with indulgence upon what we call harmless vanity or n nat. ural love of admiration in n rather friv, olous girl, but look at the same girl when by some accident or misfortune tho 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. It is only an absurdly exaggerated sense of self importance that produces the very common delu. sion that the patient is king or a queen, even a 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 a state of chron- ic melancholy and apathy. On tho other hand, a natural self reliance, no longer controlled by common sense, expands into belief that the patient has done and can do fcats beyond the power of any mortal man.-Hospital.
 Courtship Tn Burma
 MT. Mortimer Menpcs, in travelling in the east ill search of subjects, came upon a curious form of courtship. Sketching ono day in Burma, he no. ticed a man q little distance off glaring fiercely straight ahead of him at some object he could not see from his posi- ton. The man sat with the same fixed glare the whole of tho afternoon and was at it again tho next morning. Mir. Mcnpes had the curiosity to ask an English visitCr what it meant. The re. ply was, "Oh, he is in love" And ii was explained that this was their meth od of courtsEip. Tho object of the man E attentive glare was n girl ill neighbor- ing bazaar When . man falls in love, he has to scat himself at q certain dis tance from his adorcd one and waits for her to do the rest. If she looks in his direction Once or twice on the first or second day. he is wildly encouraged, and if OH tho third day she mods at him and smiles it is time to go to the parent. with reference to tho marriage settle ments.

REPORTS from the southern states are to the effect that marked development of in- dustrial interests are to be found Tn al- most every section. The outlook is re- ported as being in the highest degree en- couraging. Heretofore agriculture in its varied forms has been the leading pursuit, but within n few years manufacturing has begun to develop to an extent and with such marked success that the future of the south has an exceedingly promising aspect. The almost entire section possesses i'm. mense possibilities, which only needs tie aid of capital and enterprise to be mads positive and remunerative certsinties Our fellow countrymen down in Dixie are to be congratulated upon this highly en cOuEaging prospect.

Disinieetion After Disease.

The disinfection of houses after the
occurrence of iafectious disease is often
a matter of great trouble and inconven-
ience as wei is Il serious expense, and
anything which tends to lessen these de-
serves our consideration. Under pres
ent conditions the room itself has to be
fumigated with sulphurous acid vapor,
the floors and woodwork have to be
washed with some disinfecting solu-
tion, the walls have TO be washed down
and repapered, and the bedding has to
be sent to some special disinfector or
chemical purifier. By the use, how
ever, of fornlalin-which is really 40
per cent solution of formaldehyde in
water-in the form both of vapor and
spray. the bedding. furniture an'l walls
can be thoroughly disinfected and rem
dered perfectly innocuous. The colors
of papers, silks, satins, piushes, ETC.,
are quite unaffected both by the vapor
and the spray, and this adds very ma
terially to its value, while the effect is
said to be stronger than that of carbolic
acid, sulphurous acid, chlorine or bro
mine For spraying it may be used in
the proportion of two, four or eight
drams to the gallon of water. For the
fumigation of mattresses little Of the
pure formalin should be placed, say, on
a vaporizer under the bed, and to pre-
vent too great diffusion of the vapor the

Travelling In Ancient India.

Journeys in India century ago were
sleepy, lengthy and withal expensive
luxuries. 1t was naturally a serious
business to get to and from Europe, and
masters of sailing vessels were, it seems,
inclined to make their charges exorbi-
tant to their luckless passengers The
honorable East India company, in its
paternal relation to its servants, issued
warnings, commands and regulations
on the subject, but apparently with lit
tie result. At last table was drawn
up, wherein it was stated that, while
general officers should pay $3.50 for their
passage, an ensign should only pay
e105 and a cadet e70. Commanders
were warned that if by any ways OF
means. directly or indirectly, they
should take or receive further sums of
money for the same they should pay to
the company, for the use of the Poplar
hospital, treble the sum so TAKEN

Waterpruofing Cloth.

An account is given in Romen's
Journal of Doring's process for water
proofng cloth, by which such satisfac-
tory results are obtained, when the It's
sue is subjected to precipitate of salts
of the fatty acids. The cloth is passed
into a special machine, in which it is
saturated with aluminium acetate, dried
and passed into soap beck. A basic
compound being necessary, equal
weights of salts of aluminium and lead
are employed, and care is taken not to
introduce too large quantities of free
acid with the aluminium sulphate, since
the latter contains always certain
quantity of sulphuric acid, which, DUR
ing desiccation, displaces the acetic
acid. To avoid this Inconvenience, they
are added per liter from 10 to so grams
of soda. The most favorable tempera-
ture is so degrees, and steam heat direct
is avoided. In preparing the soap bath
the fact is utilized that an aqueous So
luton of soap forms true solutions with
mixtures of fat and resins, wax, min
eral oils, and even caoutchouc, and to
this end 10 per cent solution of gum
paraguay in oil of turpentine is taken.
The proportions employed for square
meter of cloth are 80 grams tallow
soap, 25 japan wax, LIS gum paraguay,
1 gram good varnish. The wax is
first melted, the gum and varnish add
ed, and for each kilo of solid is put O..
grams of solution, saturated in heat,
of potassium sulphide. The mixture is
stirred and boiled, when sulphureted
hydrogen is liberated; boiling solu-
tion of soap is added, when the Eath is
fit for use

Cannibalistic Scorpions.

During many years of scorpion hunt
ing | never remember to have seen two
individuals living together in amity, and
even their more tender relations are
tainted at times with the unamiable
habit of cannibalism. The males are
decidedly smaller than their mates,
whom they approach accordingly with
the utmost caution. If the fair ina
morata doesn't like the looks Of her ad-
vancing suitor she settles the question
offhand by making a murderous spring
at him, catching him in her claws,
stinging him to death, and making a
hearty meal off him. This is scarcely
loverlike. On the other hand, if a du-
bious wife, the female scorpion is de-
voted mother. She matches her eggs in
her own oviduct, brings forth her young
alive-unlike her relations, the spiders
and carries them about on her back,
to the number of SO, during their in
nocent childhood, till they are of an
age to shift for themselves in the strug-
gle for existence. Magazine.

Depew's BrOiled Lobster.

Il well remember my surprise one
night at a banquet at Delmonico's. 1t
was gathering of Wall street men,
and of course Depew was among the
lot. He was the life Of the party, and
| noticed he ate very heartily, although
| have frequently read that the best
after dinner speakers eat next to moth
ing when about to speak. But ouI
Chauncey put down Il good dinner, and
made his speech afterward in the best
of form. At the conclusion of the ban
quet, and while people were crowding
around him to congratulate him on his
brilliant address, noticed that wait
er entered and handed Mr. Depew a
box, done up in a paper, and minute
afterward the same waiter brought in
his overcoat, and after assisting Mr..
Depew into it buttoned it up, tucked
the box under the Depew arm and held
the door open, while the man outside
whistled for the carriage.
II was mystifed, but after seeing
the same thing repeated at several din
ners 1 asked for an explanation and got
it. The bundle was box, and it con-
tained broiled lobster, which Mr..
Depew always took home to his wife. At
all the places where he dined there was
a standing order for broiled lobster,
to be given to Mr.. Depew for Mrs. De-
pew. And no charge was ever made.
After Mrs. Depew's death the lobster
was broiled and presented at the door,
as usual, but Mr.. Depew motioned it
away. He has never taken one home
since then. New York Herald.
