More Aid Required for the
State Institution for De-
mented Women.
Special to the Jersey cHvNeus

TRENTON. March %, 1S95.-There are
twenty-four women from Essex County
In the State Institution for Predetermined
Women, out of a total of eighty-nine
women inmates. but in the meagre list
of donations to the institution last year,
there does not appear a single eontr.bp-
ton from Essex.
The Secondary of the Board of Managers
IS Emily fl. WILLIAMSON OF Elizabeth.
In her report to the Governor she says
that there is great need of Increased ac-
coInmodat.ons. It is also suggested that
the age limit for applicants pe eliminated
and that all feeble-minded girls as well
as women be sent to the institution where
industrial training has been made a feat
ure. The cost of maintenance last year
was SIT. $1,000.
Mary j. Dunlap is Superintendent of
the Home. and she makes an interesting
and suggestive report. She calls atten-
ton to the large number of epileptics in.
the Home. These pnfortunates are oeea-
sionally deraented. Some have tubercuio-
sis and wasting disorders and the ques-
ton is whether such cases should be ae-
cepted at the Home. There should. the
Superintendent thinks, be a separate pro-
vision made for ep1lepties, apart from the
1AlOCCltC nc llSdtlS.
They need. she says, peculiar treat
ment. increasing watchfulness. plenty
of sunshine. fresh air, and widely diverse
yet common-sense methods of care and
employment, which it is not always pos
sible TO give, in an institution of this
kind. in the most desirable way"
UNTEACHABLE GIRLS.
"a more serious subject touches the
number of foreigners IN the Home" says
the superintendent. You will find the
majority of our exeitable. u~nteachable
girls are of foreign birth, English, irish,
German. Welsh n Italian parentage.
For instance. one case Of insanity was
brought from Ireland. having been told
the sea voyage would cure her; an
other, of total .diocy and of most repug-
nant appearance. from England. with the
assurance that the air of America would
help her. another, having lost a limb IN
Wales. comes to sit in helpless idleness
Il TO be provided for in every way,
so on. Surely there must be a remedy
for this by the improvement and reV.s-
ing of our emigration laws. which permit
parents to bring such children into this
country TO be supported and cared Tor py
the several States. The very great ten
dency to consumption in this class of pa
tiaats, and lis recognized righteousness.
makes the need of a separate hospital
building imperative"
The inmates did a deal of sewing last

Among the articles made were ia dresses.

AN INTOXICATING MUHsRooM.
Inhabitants of Northeastern Asis

Used 1t to Produce Narcotic Effects.
The inhabitants of the northeastern
part of Asia use a mushroom to pro-
mote intoxication. 1t is known as the
fy-broom mushroom. and is very album
dam IN Scotland.
The fungus is regularly gathered in
the hottest part of the year and is then
hung up by a string in the air to dry.
Some are dry before gathered, and these
are stated to be far more narcotic thar
those CRITICALLY preserved.
Usually the fungus is rolled UP like a
bolus and taken without chewing, for,
if masticated, it is said to disorder the
stomach. One large or two small fungi
produce what is looked upon to as a
pleasant state of intoxication for one day.
The effect is the same as that produced
on taking a quantity of spirits or wine,
except that it is delayed from one to
two hours after the bolus has been
swallowed.
AT first 1t produces very cheerful emo

WILD ANIMALS IN FINLAND.
Annual Losses Suffered by the Peas.
ants by Their Rayages.

According to some official data just
published at Helsingfcrs the Firms would
appear to suffer very considerabl an
nual losses from the avages Of wild
animals. During the ten years ending
1891 those losses are recorded as follows:
HAT horses, 1923 cattle, IS, 1855 sheep, 1921
swine, %, 1884 head of reindeer, 32,457 fowls,
geese, ducks, turkeys, etc, the total APP
proximate value of which was about two
and a half millions Of roubles. During
the same period there were killed 1904
bears, 1909 wolves, 4153 lynxes, 47,2S1 foxes,
727, gluttons, 1886 offers, 1883 martens, 1850
ermine and 55,657 birds of prey, such as
eagles, hawks, etc.
From the latter group of figures it
will be seen hat the Firms wage a con-
slant and energetic war against the wild
fauna. The numbers of bears and lynxes
have decreased, but foxes and other small
wild animals appear to be increasing.
The British sportsmen, writes our cor
respondent, would find a perfect paradise
in Finland. 1t is not so far infield in
these latter days Of rapid transit, and
one could not desire more kindly natured
and hospitable hosts Than the Finns.-

READ THIS AMI WALK.
Pointers on How 10 Carry YOURSELF
Practice un "A rack.

n sAN
Practice 0n a Crack.
There is a great deal of talk about
how badly American women walk. and
they are advised to improve, but no
one tells them how. or If anyone does,
the directions are usually wrong. Good
eachers are needed, but they are rare,
and some most valuable Information can
be given in print. Practice will then do
much. Delsarte brought the matter down
to principles, but not many self-styied
Deisartean Instructors can tell what they
are.
The first thing to note is that each
foot should cross the same line with
each successive step. Walking a
craek' brings YOU one step in walking
correctly; but toes should be much
turned out. and almost to the angle of
IS degrees. but not quite. Many defects
are cured by sarnply achieving this. For
instance. you by this means avoid bring
ing down the heel first; in an ordinary
shoe the foot comes down all together;
in a heeler's sandal the toe strikes the
ground first. and that is the ideal way,
the way the Greek women stepped.
If you start out to simply avoid strik-
ing the heel first. without further know
ledge of the correct position of the foot,
10 to 1 o make yourself highly rldicul-
Gus. The mex thing is the length of the
step, Il should be just twice the
the hollow of the instep of one foot to
the hollow of the instep of the other.
Now, to practice these points take a
long taps; new bits of red flannel on it
at intervals corresponding to the proper
length of your step stretch it across as
long a room as you can set to practice
in, and spend an hour a day, or less,
possibly, e walking The tape and hay.
flannel at each step. For a while you
will do this badly, walk, worse than ever,
but when this action has become au-
tomatic you can take up other points
and progress toward grace. Two things
are most important. the legs should be
moved from the thighs the motive pow
er should begin there, just as a boy
throws a stone from the shoulder. Then
tine chest should be held up and the body
so carried that the walker will have a
feeling, if she watches for it, as if she
were being pulled along by a string COM
ing from the middle of the breast. as If
she were breasting the air as a swimmer
breasts the waves. This sound fanci-
full. but 1t is only accurate. The feeling
attests the fact that you are walking
well. even though you lave not achieved
all the subtle poise of the Diana of the
Observation-Disclosures Press.
