Causes of Insanity.

With regard to the causes of insan- ity, Dr. Walmsley of Darenth Asylum says: "The most potent causes of in sanity are hereditary transmission and alcoholic intemperance. No less than one. half of all occurring cases of in sanity are due to inherited taint; one fourth of all occurring cases of insanity are due to drink" It appears from the latest returns of pauperism that the number of insane paupers has greatly increased. Thus in 1858 the number of insane paupers in England and Wales was under 2l,OOp, while in 1895 the number has risen to nearly S3,000.-Belfast Witness.

 Lieutenant Greedy says of those who went with him to the North Pole of the seventeen of his men who died all were smokers but one and he died last. Of the seven survivors none were smokers.

Smallpox has broken out at San Jose, a Mexican village in Graham county. Doctors Dudley and Lacy went there to investigate, and they were much surprised to find that the smallpox had from appearances been there for the last month. They found cases of it in all ages and stages. The people of Solomonville are excited somewhat over the matter, and all efforts will be made to quarantine and check the disease.

A Practical Test.

Two young physicians practicing in a hospital were much taken with Dr. Ain.tie's theory of the food value of alcohol. In good faith they set about personal demonstration, taking the doctors "safe dose" instead of their usual rations of eatables three tim's a day, By the end of three days they were hardly able to crawl up and down stairs; they had each lost six pounds of flesh, and they were altogether so mis- erabie that they were glad to return to their usual diet and discard alcohol. - W 0.

James A. Fleming, A. J. Doran and James H. McClintock of the Territorial Commission to the National Irrigation Congress yesterday started action on Arizona's representation. A letter will be dispatched 10 the five outside dele gates to the congress suggesting that a caucus of the delegation be held in Phoenix August 2d, and that to the caucus be invited the various delegates so chosen by the municipalities, coun- ties and irrigation enterprises of the territory. It is expected that con- certed and organized movement will be made to secure Phoenix to the next session of the congress. Further, as in Arizona lies the greatest expanse of irrigable and unreclaimed land in the Union, it is believed that prior to the departure for Albuquerque the Arizona delegation should agree upon the measures to be supported by its mem- bers during the congress. ss.-Gazette.

Please make it point to speak to any members of the lodge that you may chance to meet who have not been attending regularly and try to induce them to come and help in the work. Tho temperance cause needs the active support of every friend of reform, but members of the lodge should feel a greater responsibility than can be ex- pected of those who are not identified with the work.

There is law on the statute books of Arizona making it crime either to engage in prize fight or any conten- tion of that nature, or aid in instigat' ing one, and yet "sparring matches tthey may be something else) are oc- curing quite frequently within the county without any interference on the part of the officers. There seems to be no good reason why this law should not be enforced, and it IS a poor showing for community to per, init such contests in open violation of a law that is explicit and adequate.

:, arena measured Off on the shore of
large western river aline exactly three
miles long, and each took a station at
opposite ends of the line. The object
was to note, by means of preconoerted
signals, the time flock Of wild ducks
took in passing up or down the river,
near the stations.
During three hours on the morning
of a bright October day, observations
were noted of the times of passing the
stations of nine different focks Upon
comparing watches it was found that
the average time was minutes and 40
seconds, thus showing the speed per
hour to be sc p miles, or one mile in Sd
seconds AS showing how uniform was
their flight, a difference was found of
only five seconds between the greatest
and the least intervals of time.
AS numerous focks of wild geese
were daily flying in the same neighbor-
hood observations were also taken to test
their hourly speed. Two points twenty
nine and one-third miles apart were Sc
lected, both of which were connected by
telegraph. We succeeded in identifying
four out Of seven f1ocks which passed
over both places during the four days
we were on the watch. The mean hour
~ speed was found to be fraction over
"a miles. The wild goose has been long
supposed to be the swiftest of all water
fowl, but this experiment shows that he
is far behind the wild duck. New

THE AUDUBON REPUBLICAN.

A CAUGHT HORSE THEFT.

Sometime last Saturday night a val
liable horse disappeared from the farm
of Jacob Mates three miles south of
Carroll.
1t was conjectured that the horse
had been taken south and kilograms
were received by Audubon officials to
look out for the animal.
Mr.. Mates son Stephen had tracked
the horse to the neighborhood of Luc-
cocks Grove and OH inquiry learned
that a man had called ut M. CarrOll's
place Monday morning and purchased
breakfast for himself and according to
his story for "a sick partner" who was
at camp in the grove. and at the same
time got feed for three horses.
When young Mates called at the
Carroll home inquiring about the horse,
and told his story, word was sent in to
the sheriff, that the theft or thieves
were in the grove, that official called
posse and went out at once.
Marshal Parnhan and Jack OBrien
located the horse and fOnnd near by
the blankets and clothes of the theft
and soon discovered that mdlVldual
making his way across the fields north
of the grove. They at once gave chase
and soon convinced the fellow that he
had better come back and give himself
up.
He was turned over to the sheriff
and man and horse were brought TO
town at about $50 o'clock.
The culprit was ayoung man about
nineteen or twenty years of age. His
story to Sheriff Armstrong was, that
his name was John Prater and that his
home was in Kentucky. His presence
so far away from home, he accounted
for, by saying that he had been in Min
nesota visiting a sister and that being
out of money he was walking home.
Sheriff Jetfry, of Carroll county, came
to Audubon Tuesday morning and
took the young man to Carroll, and the
horse was turned over TO its owner.

MARBLlNG BOOKS.
The Slow Old Process by Which the Fancy
Edges Are Made.

Inc SLOW Old Process by Which the Fancy
Edges Are Made.
! Almost ever since the first books were
made the fashion of marbleizing the
edges Of many of them has been in
! vogue. 1t used to be, however, that only
the most expensive volumes - those
bound in full calf and deliberately let
tered-had their edges thus garnished,
but now such finishing is left, for the
most part, for ledgers, daybooks and
other blank books intended for business
use.
Though long before gilt edges were
thought of the ornamenting of the plain
white edges Of books to initial marble
was popular, there has been little or no
change in the process since it's first in
PRODUCTION.
1t is generally supposed that all such
details have come under the stamp of
the bookmaker's art until there is moth
ing left in them to remind one of their
first and earliest days, but not with
marbling. AS time has gone on the pop
ularity of this method of embellishing
paper has grown less. Consequently
by which it could be more speedily DONE
There have been some improvements in
the original methods, but most book
binders still stick to the old way as
good enough.
Instead of books whizzing through
machinery one after another and taking
on their marbled edges in some mysteri-
Gus manner, as might be supposed, each
book is taken by hand separately and
the leaves dipped, tightly held together,
into the liquid that marks their edges
with the many colored little veins, be-
fore the covers are put ON.
A trough about two inches deep is
filled with gum water, ON the surface of
which various oolored pigments have
been thrown and disposed in various
forms with comb and coarse wire teeth.
The cans of liquid paint are ranged
along the sides of the trough, and from
them the paint is taken by dipping into
them long, soft hairbrushes that are
held over the water and allowed to drip.
One color is put down right over the
other, and the wide, coarse comb drag

tremely dexterously dipped into the wa
ter, and the colors adhering to their
edges are set by dashing cold water over
them. But one of the three edges at
time can be marbleized and set up on
end to dry before the book can be han

them are produced.
The process may seem little slow,
but it answers all the needs that the
bookbinder finds for it.-St. Louis Re-

CENTRAL STATION,
DIES MONIES, Iowa, May IA, 1895.
This has been week of notable ex-
tremes of temperature, the mercury
dropping suddenly from 81 degrees to
the frost line. The daily mean of the
first three days was about 10 degrees
above normal; the last three days, 10
degrees below normal.
Fros5s were general and in some sec
tons quite destructive to tender vege-
tation, on the morning of the 18th.
Garden truck, potatoes, small fruit and
grape vines were severely injured in
all exposed localities. No reports have
been received of material damage to
field crops, except potatoes, and they
will probably recover. The corn crop
is all right.
Corn planting is practically COM
pleted, except in sections where it was
retarded by frequent showers and ex-
cessive moisture. The work of Guilt
walton is now quite general and good
stand has been obtained.
Small grain and grass have made
good advancement. On the whole, the
outlook for the staple crops is still very
tlattering.
