Eancies of Mad Folks.

At lunatic asylum recently visited
| saw a woman about 80 wears of age
who was under the belief that there
were no men i'll the world. Just to test
her the party OF visitors among whom
was asked her how many men there
were in the room at that moment
"None," she replied. They are ell
females"
In the same asylum there is incarcer-
ated an elderly lady known to the other
inmates as Silent Jane" Some months
ago she committed an offense against a
rule of the establishment and was Sc
yerely reprimanded in consequence by
the master. She thereupon gave ex-
preston to a resolve never to speak
again and up to the present time she
has faithfully kept her promise, al
though persistent efforts are made to
get her to talk.
The only noise made by the old
woman is sort of humming and, des-
pite the strongest temptations that have
been held out to her, She never utters a
word.
| once met a iunatic whose special
mania was the making of beds. He
was SO fond OF making beds that he
voluntarily made the whole of the beds
IN one dormitory. He performed the
task with marvellous regularity aud
speed. He could make bed perfectly
in less than two minutes, and such
carefully made beds were never seen
before. Scottish AmericaR.

How They Waltz in Kentucky.

A DanyiIle girl tells the Adr0cate the
following with regard to waltzing: NO
one waltz, even when danced with the
same partner, is exactly the same. 1t
is always new sensation. The music
is not in the same key, and the waltz
does not touch the same chords of ones
soul. If | dance twenty waltzes M the
evening l have twenty different thrills
of pleasure. With one partner it is a
soft, insidious measure; with the next, a
long and languorous movement; with
the third, more of hop, that gently
jars the brain into a delicious, dreamy
forgetfulness; while the fourth cavalier,
with heroic tread, bears you away
with strong and vigorous rhythm into
still another world. The lights of this
90 out, YOU lose consciousness, but you
feel no dread as you lie within those
herculean arms like child rocked to
sleep in his fathers embrace Your
feet are no longer on the earth. It's a
celestial rotation out into space, and
when you light on earth again you feel
like tired bird stopping from a long
flight"

FOr the Pleasure of 1t

There is no getting around the argu-
ments Of children. One little girl that
| know picked up book in my pres
ence and began reading backward,
starting with the last chapter. | re-
monstrated with her for this bit of top
sy-turvydom, telling her that this was
not the way to read book-that she
should begin at the beginning and read
to the end and not vice-versa. Don't
people read for pleasure?" she asked.
Usually" | replied. We'll, | do al
ways and get no pleasure out of read
ING any other way" said she, so what's
the harm?'

Bass with a Blow Gun.

You can talk about gill nets and
dynamite and trout lines for killing
fish, said an old river man the other
day. "but there's man here in town
that's got the greatest scheme I've
struck yet, and he's killing enough fish
with it TO stock a boarding house. He
don't do Il thing but just shoot 'em, he
don't. | see him up the Lowgrounds a
week or two back with a string of bass
that must er weighed ten pounds. And
blame me eff he hadn't Killed 'em all
with a spitball blower.
He had little brass pipe. about
four feet long and as thick as your fin
ger, and a lot of little arrows made out
of fish hooks straig aightened out and cot
ton wrapped around the end. He was
walking quiet like along the edges of
the long ponds the low water lett j., the
low grounds, and when he'd see one of
the big bass that had got landTocked 10y
the water going down, and there's lots
OF EN- up there, he'd just let fly his
blow gun at it and knock 'em through
six inches of water every time. He
had a silk thread to his arrows. and
hauled his fish in with it, and as he'd
hit 'em back of the giIIs they hardly
kicked.
i tell You it didn't hardly look nat
ural, going tishin' that way, but he jest
laughed when spoke to him, and said
he learned the trick from the Indians
down IL South America. Down by the
water he had some places ground baited,
and | see him kill big three-pound
catfish dead as a hammer, and he shot
one of his little fish hook arrows half
way through Il carp about two feet and
a half long. | been fishing nigh on
thirty years now, one way and another
but / never see man kill fish that way
before, and yer can say what yer
please, it amt natural. = Washington

Tried to Smuggle Girls.

The steamer China, which recently
arrived from the Orient. brings pecu-
liar story of the methods employed by
the Chinese to smuggle girls into this
country.
While the vessel was at the wharf at
Yokohama receiving her cargo Jap
anese passenger came on board and
asked to have four large boxes taken to
his stateroom but was refused, as the
boxes were too large.
The boxes were left on the wharf to
be placed in the hold with the other
cargo. Just as they were being hoisted
up a peculiar noise from one of the
cases attracted the attention of the
stevedores, who rolled the boxes aside
and called the police, and upon exam
inatiOn the boxes were found to contain
the almost lifeess bodies of four Jap
anese girls, who were overcome with
suffocation. The boxes were only two
feet three inches in length and one and
one-half broad and deep. There was a
small air-hole at one end but the boxes
were laid on the wharf end up and the
holes closed. The japanese who at
tempted the outrage was not appre-
hended. Three of the girls were des-
tined, if they lived to brother in Port
land and the other was going to Tacoma.
