AnecdOte of Professor LOOMS.

The Hon f. d. Allen possesses q
unique souvenir Of his college days at
Yale of which he is justly proud, and
which he treasures very carefully. 1t is
only plain bit of cardboard with hole
in the center, but it has history, for it
is memorial of the expert marksman-
ship of Professor Loomis, the famous
mathematician.
One day in the classroom Professor
LOOMS, in illustrating the principle of
the air gun, shot at the card as a target
across the room The old gentleman was
bit proud Of his skill and the boys
knew it. Were he ever to miss his aim,
they would be extremely delighted, and
on this occasion they thought they had
caught him at last, for the second time
he shot at the card it was apparent that
no other hole had been made in it. The
class had of course assumed that the card
had not been hit and laughed mirthfully
at the professor. But the latter quiet
" picked up the little target and called
attention to the fact that the original
perforation was now enlarged, the Sec
ond missile having struck the edge Of
the hole first made.
There was never any doubt after that
about Professor Loomis being a crack
shot, and Frank Allen esteemed himself
lucky in securing the card. That was
over 20 years ago, and he has the card
yet,-Boston Record.

Insanity Contagious.

An Interesting discussion upon the sub
ject of communicated insanity was brought
out at the meeting of the Association CT
Asylum Superintendent in 1887 by the
reading of the history of the Pocassett let
ter carrier, Freeman, who, with the con-
sent of his wife. who had become possessed
of the same fanatical ideas, offered up their
son as II sacrifice, in the manner of Abra-
ham, says DR.. Pilgrina in The Popular
Science Monthly.
The insanity of the mother was not de-
teoted at the time, but in month she be-
came manifestly insane. As will be SEEM
this case cannot be considered typical
one of communicated insanity, for the re-
morse and grief which necessarily followed
the participation in her husbands fanat-
ical act were sufficient to ACCOUNT for her
insanity aside from any influence which
he might have had over her. The discus
sion, however, brought out the interesting
fact that several of the superintendent
present had had experience with cases
which would appear to justify the use of
the term communicated insanity" al
though Others objected to its adoption.
One particularly interesting instance
was related by Dr. Fletcher of Indiana,
where two brothers and u sister living on
farm isolated from the rest of the com
munity, became, one after the other CON
trolled by the same insane delusion. They
were Germans, industrious and thrifty,
but uneducated and superstitious The
elder brother conceived the idea that the
devil had taken possession of their farm
and was sccrCtcd under Il certain DOwlder
in the barnyard. He imagined that no
good crops could be raised until his satan
ic majesty had been unearthcd. He began
searching and worked for several days roll
ing up great powders, until the younger
brother, and finally the sister also became
possessed of the same idea also and lent
their assistance.
They all worked for about six weeks,
making an excavation about 20 feet square
and Is feet deep. They worked so hard
and became so emaciated that the neigh
bors interfered and had them sent to an
asylum, where, happily, under the influ-
ence of treatment, change of surroundings
and good diet, they ultimately recovered.

DR.. Parkhurst on Female Colleges.

Let il once be settled that womanliness
Is the finest product which a female col
lege can yield with all that tendency wife
ward and mothcrward which is the in
stinctive outcome of womanliness-I say,
let this once be settled, and large begin
ming will already have been made toward
deciding the methods and machinery by
which the college will do its work and
compass its ends, writes the Rev. Charles
H. Parkhurst, ID. D., in The Ladies' Home
Journal.
With all this well in mind it is easy to
wonder whether it quite COMFORTS with the
situation that so much of the discipline
and instruction of female colleges, as is
commonly the case, should be In the hands
of men.
never expect to see the teaching force
of "A male college made up, in part of
women.
Why does it any more comport with the
fitness of things that the teaching force of
a female college should be made up, in
whole or in part, of men? Is there any
doubt but that if women competent for
the position were attainable they would
meet the requirements of the case in a way
that men cannot?
Is it not pretty clear without argument,
that thoroughly won.anly woman can o.
more toward helping a college girl to be-
come woman than a thoroughly manly
man can do? We may become so wonted to
an infelicitous usage as not to realize its
infelicity. There would be no pertinence
in these suggestions If it were the case
that the object of female college is to
make scholarly women.

Hints on Cheerfulness.

"Cheer" and Comfort There are
always chances in life to do both, for,
turn where you will, there are those in
need of help. Not always bodily help.
Often those who have every earthly
thing they need-shelter, money, food,
clothing, books, all sorts of opportuni-
ties-are in want of the heavenly
things which "cheer" and comfort"
mean. They are depressed, low in
their spirits, sad and troubled. They
are even cross and disagreeable because
they are unhappy. To such persons
young people, with bright faces and
light hearts, can bring both the cheer
that gives courage and the comfort that
takes away pain. You haven't to do
anything in grand and heroic fashion
either. Simply be yourself, and let the
gladness that is in you bubble up and
overflow, and you will make tired peo-
pie happier. Two schoolgirls sat be-
hind me in car the other day, chatting
together in low voices, and laughing
immoderately every few minutes at the
happenings of their day. Bless them,
The sweet, gay, merry-hearted creaturesl
The car seemed lonesome after they
reached their station, and went trip
ping along the road up the long hill to
their home out of sight from my point
of view. Just be yourselves, dears,
and you will make older people happy.
| sent a loving little word of thanks
after my school girls, for they had been
a help to me. One afternoon, passing
a church on city street, read this
announcement on a bulletin-board at
the door. "The Pleasant Words So
ciety will meet at four o'clock" Wasn't
that fine? The "pledsaat words" So
ciety! Whatever we think of, how
ever we feel, we may speak pleasantly,
our words and our tones being in our
own control. The effort to speak
pleasantly will usually cause us to feel
pleasant, and it is pleasant people
people who please-who get together
and form societies and clubs. Who
ever heard of Fault.fnders Society or
Cross Words Society? Fretfu fault
finders have to sit in corners alone

Only a Bunch of viOlets.

Seated in the corner of Broadway
car was frail, little crippled boy, evil
IDENTITY suffering from spinal disease.
His head and the upper part of his body
were enclosed in a network of steel and
leather and an iron brace was tightly
strapped to the side of one Of his legs.
Poverty, too, seemed to be ibis mis-
fortune; his clothing was of cheap ma
terial, and bore the stamp of home
make, and in every finger of the black,
cotton gloves worn by his tifteen-year-
old sister, who accompanied him, there
was hole. Her dress was patched in
several places, and her hat was thin,
straw affair, trimmed with a band of
faded red ribbon; but, withal, she was
wondrous clean and neat. At Thirty
third street handsomely dressed
woman boarded the car and dropped
into seat directly opposite the pair.
Tucked in the folds of her coat was
big bunch of fresh, double violets, tied
with long purple ribbon, and their
fragrant odor at once pervaded the car.
The little boy caught the scent, and at
once his great brown eyes were thrown
upon the flowers. Then he whispered
something to his sister, who blushed
+ and told him to wait awhile. Turning
his attention again to the violets, the
lad gazed upon them until his eyes
grew bright and round, and every few
minutes he would draw an extra long
breath, as if to take in all the sweet
perfume he could. Soon every one in
the forward part of the car was watch
ing him. From the look of admiration
there grew in those brown eyes an ex-
preston of longing so earnest and deep
that it made the heart thrill with SYM
patty. The young woman, with chang
ing emotions, glanced uneasily at the
boy at intervals, and soon the power of
tn ose eyes and the soul they revealed
overcame her. With quick tug she
drew the violets from her coat, and,
with tear springing to her eye, handed
them to the boy, purple ribbon and all.
Before the child recovered from this
great joy, she sought the platform and
was gone. Nearly all the men sitting
near by suddenly resumed interest in
their newspapers and some OF them
coughed. The women looked straight
ahead through the glass beyond the
sidewalk, and much further than the
obstructing show windows and door
ways. 1t was not an earthly view that
pictured itself to them; their vision was
turned toward their hearts, into the
tiny corner where fondest of all hopes
and swee est of sad memories were
treasured The boy-well, do l need
to tell YOU of his happiness? And sis
ter? Poor sister; she felt 80 ashamed.
But what could she do?-New York
World.
