H.IRMORIZED CdLENDAR rs.
Historian Gilbert Cope of West Chester
Useful Work.

West Chester LOCAL News.
Several months ago Gilbert Cope secre.
tary of the Chester County Historical
Society. read a paper in which he set forth
the changes IN the calendar, which were
made in changing from what was called
old style and new style, and spoke of the
confusion which sometimes arises in the
mind of one who, not being familiar with
the changes made in 1862, when they come
upon deed recorded prior to that time
which might, for instance be dated in
December of amy given year and recorded
i'll January following, but the date of the
year would be the same and the supposition
of some would be that u mistake had been
made. The fact is that prior to 1852 the
year began III March. 1t was thar year
that was first computed from January LIST.
Mr.. Cope suggested that it would be well ii
properly prepared calendars or tables were
prepared and posted at some convenient
pace in the Court House.
The subject was discussed and finally he
was directed by his fellow members TO
prepare the calendars and offer them to
County Commissioners for their considera'
ton. This he has now accomplished aud
the Commissioners have it under consid-
Grafton and they have some thought of
having it inscribed on the marble slabs
that form the wainscoting on the stairway
in the Court House. The calendar as pre-
pared i'll form as follows:

Finding no money the robbers forced
the women to give up their pocketbooks,
containing about So.
The two men then left, telling the
women to make no outcFy during the

A DIsease Thnt IS tlaInInr tlrnnnd.

One terrible form of brain disease,
with mental symptoms, is certainly
increasing. writes DIR. q. S. Clouston,
OF the Moringside Asylum. That
malady may be described as n break
down OF the great centre OF mind and
motion in tho brain; il always goes
on from bad TO worse till IL renders its
victim utterly helpless in mind and
body, and kills him in n few years.
No cure, and scarcely any mitigation
Of this later.day curse, has yet been
devised. II is disease OF cities, of
restless lives, of active brains In their
primes; sometimes OF dissipation, Of
life at high pressure commonly.
During the past year the asylums OF
Scotland received 100 new cases
those of England 14O0, and those in
Ireland fifty-two. The asylum sta
tistics of this country show an even
greater number.
In single asylum of New York
state, for example, that at Ogdons-
burg, there were among the $50 adj
missions thirty-one cases of general
parosis. This would make the pro-
portion of general paresis over four
per cent.
Among seven State Rsylums, TO
which 1912 patients were admitted in
1890, there were sixty-six cases Of
general paresis, or little over three
per cent If four per cent be tho
general ratio for this disease in the
State OF Now York, then the total
number of paretics among the 16, 900
insane would be about GAO. As
matter of fact the number is much
greater, because the proportion OF
this disease is larger in tho New York
and Kings County Asylums than in
those of the State at large. But even
If there were but 1000 cases Of general
paresis among the 100, 900 insane of
this country, it would be an extraor-
dinary evidence OF the development
of the disease which in the last cen
tury was certainly not known, oven if
it did exist.

A Curiosity in Canes.

E. r. Waite has recently become
the owner of cane that is a gem in
its way, and veritable curiosity. II
Is made from the stock of young
orange tree, and the portion of the
root which forms the handle is carved
to represent shoe, and SO perfect is
it in every detail that ones first i'm
preston is that miniature piece of
footgear has been slipped over the
head of the cane.
On closer inspection, however, it
is seen that the whole thing is made
from single piece of wood, and so
carefully has every line been drawn,
and the parts of the shoe stained to
represent the real article, that the de-
ception is almost perfect.
The heel is worn off at a corner, a
heavy patch is pegged over one side of
the sole, while two ''invisible" patches
decorate the sides of the shoe, where
it would naturally be worn. Even
the eyelets are perfect, while the
tongue looks wrinkled enough to have
seen service for at least six months.
The shoe shines like piece of patent
leather, while the inside and the soles
look to have stolen their tints from
tho real material. All in all it is a
very ingeniously wrought piece of
work. Mr.. Waite does not know by
whom the cane was made, it having
passed through several hands before
it became his property. San Bernard
