A DEADLY DISEASE OF TO-DAY.
The Great Increase in the Number of
Cases of Paresis.

The Great Increase in the Number of
Cases of Paresis.
In connection with the cock-sure
statement of Mr.. Howells that the
present race was never SO healthy and
strong as now il is interesting to read
The following paragraph, written by
DR.. y. 5. Clouston, superintendent of
the Morningside asylum, Scotland,
says the Medical Record. He says:
Zone terrible form of brain disease,
with mental symptoms, is certainly in
creasing. y y y That malady may
be described as a breakdown Of the
great center of mind and motion in the
brain; it always goes on from bad to
worse till it renders its victim utterly
helpless in mind and body and kills
him in a few years. No cure and
scarcely any mitigation of this latter
day curse has yet been devised. 1t is a
disease of cities, of restless lives. of ac-
tive brains in their prime; sometimes
of dissipation and debauchery, of life
at high pressure commonly"
During the past year the asylums of
Scotland received $50 new cases. those
Of England 1,4OO and those of Ireland
50. The asylum statistics of this
try show an eve greater number.
In a single asylum of this state, for
example-that at Ogdensburg-there
were among the $50 admissions 81 cases
of general paresis. This would make
the proportion of general paresis over
4 per cent.
Among state asylums, to which
1,942 patients were admitted in 1890,
there were sc cases of general paresis,
or q little over 8 per cent. If 4 per cent.
be the general ratio for this disease in
the state Of New York then the total
number OF paretics among the 5000 in
sane would be about $40. AS a matter
OF fact, the number is much greater,
because the proportion of this disease
is larger in the 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 coun-
try it would be an extraordinary evil
dence Of the development Of a disease
which in the last century was certainly
not known, eye if it did exist.

RlPENiNG OF WINE.
How the Juice of the Grape Is Treated
in Switzerland.

How the Juice of the Grape Is Treated
in switzerland.
The wine in Switzerland is left in the
casks till the following spring, and it
is here that fermentation takes place
and the mout is converted into wine,
says the Cornhill Magazine. The
change begins almost Immediately;
the liquid becomes turbid, carbolic
acid gas is evolved, a scum is thrown

clear yellow liquid is lett above. The
grape sugar has almost entirely disap-
peared. a corresponding amount of al
cohol has taken its place, and the sweet
taste of the mout has given place to the
characteristic vinous flavor OF the
wine.
In the early stages Of fermentation
enormous quantities of carbonic acid
gas are given off, and huge fires are
made in the cellars to drive it away.
But at the time | write of October,
1889, when the vintage was the finest
OF the century, when barrels to hold
mout could not be purchased for love
or money, when every cellar on the
lake from Geneva to Villeneuve was
packed with casks Of mout, SO great
was the amount of carbonic acid gas
in the air that, in spite of every precau-
ton, several deaths from s%uffocation
too place among the workers. In the
spring the wine is drawn off clear into
other barrels. then bottled; yin orGin-

drink it round little tables under
the trees on the sunny pathways or over
wooden benches inside the red-cur-
tanned wineshops.

SCIENTIFIC RATIoNs.

Experiments with scientific rations"
which have just been concluded among a
detachment of the army in the West, mar
rowly escaped fatal results, and will prob
ably fmpel the commissary department
to go back to the old style Of supplies until
science produces something more scien-
;ific
If it were not 60 serious q matter the
public would hear of these experiments
with amusement, but then there is nothing
laughable in the fact that of fifty soldiers
sent out on a toilsome march for the sole
purpose of testing "coffee tablets" and
compressed soup" thirty-five men were
in a short time doubled up with pain and
rolling over and over in agony. The arti-
fetal coffee and soup had exactly the op-
posite effect from that which science had
predicted for it,
Just who is to blame for this painful
blundcr is not clear. Whether the scientist
imposed on the head of the commissary
department or upon Mr.. Dan Lamont,
head Of the War Department, or whether
the experiment was decided upon by officers
in command of troops in the military di-
vision where the remarkable incide mt
took place, is not divulsed, nor is the name
of the scientist" known
Simplest instincts of humanity should
have suggested to the officers or officials
responsible for the affair that they try
the scientific notions upon themselves,
or, IL not. upon a dog, before feeding them

SHORT CAMPAIGNS.

The demand for short campaigns is
probably made on the principle that a
short horse is soonest curried, and that
the quicker the clash of dirty politics can
be disposed of the better il will be for the
public. AS a rule, campaigns are made
Objectionable by their truth and bitterness.
In long campaigns politicians have time
to bring up personalities and resort to
questionable methods of defeating each
other, ard in doing so they forget that
the general public cares little for their
differences, chickering's, or grieva noes
To purify politics and make campaigns
respectable it is necessary to nominate a
better class OF candidates and to be more
careful in the selection of party mana
should not be conducted on the same
clean cut principles that govern the dis
cussioDs in the lecture field, and they
certainly would be il politicians were as
free from dirty practices as are our pub
he lecturers.
The best guide to follow In the selection
of a candidate or party manager is his
private life. If he stands well as q citizen
and is thrifty and pays his debts, he will
seldom resort to Objectionable politics or
betray his trust as public servant. Nor
do such men often prove Objectionable in
public office, even to those of contrary
politics, for they generally try to do their
duty according to convictions, which is all
that can be expected of any public officer.

DO THEY COMMIT MURDER?

Attention has before been ca lied to start
ling arguments and statements recently
made at sessions of the recent Medico-Le-
gal Congress in effect that it was not only
right for. physicians to end the lives of
persons suffering from incurable maladies,
but that physicians are in the habit of COM
mitting murder in this way. Mr.. Albert
Bach, vice president of the congress, made
this argument and assertion, and has re-
iterated it IN the public press when he
was sharply criticised, adding that he per-
soDally knows that physicians are accus.
toned to relieve from their misery per-
sons afflicted as described.
The moral phases of this matter have
been discussed ever since the practice
CT medicine began. Among some peoples
who are not classed as civilized it is a
custom to take the lives of sufferers for
whom there is no cure, and Of those en-
trely en- nfeebled, helpless and mindless
through extreme old age. Philosophers,
metaphysicians and philanthropists have
disagreed in regard to the morality Of
such an act, but there can be no dispute
about the legal aspect. No matter wheth-
or the purpose Of the physician may think
1t exaltedly humane, to take life in this
manner is as much murder in the eyes Of
the law as any other description of muir
der, and murder, indeed, OF the most ag-
gravated kind. from legal standpoint, as
It must, Of necessity, be deliberate and
old-bIooded.

wANAMAKER,s REWARD.

Several able writer's for the press, this
being the ''silly SEASON. on account of a
dearth of important things, have revived
discussion of the appointment Of Mr.. John
Wanamaker to a position In the Cabinet of
President Harrison as a reward for his own
liberal money contri buttons for cam
paign purposes, and his collection of an
enormous sum from manufacturers and
Others interested in perpetuation of high
tariff.
Mr.. Wanamaker's own statement is re-
called, which, of course, is In effect that
lie was not selected on account of the value
lie had been to the Republican party in a
pecuniary way, but simply because Mr..
Harrison wanted him and called him.
This is no explanation at all, and the
public are yet left to come back TO verdict
rendered long ago upon circumstantial
evidence as strong as holy writ Nobody
supposes for moment that the great bazaar
proprietor would have been thought of by
Mr.. Harrison If he had not provided SO
inference is fully justified that he was
promised the Cabinet position at the out
set IL lie would raise the immense fund
which went into the hands of the national
committee.
Probably there was no misdemea nor in
volved in this, either moral -or legal, but
it is not pleasing to think that rich men

stations solely because they have been

TURNED THE CAPTAIN DOWN
Private NeVins' Discharge Was Cor
rected By a Board;
Howe Had Endorsed His Character as
Fair. But 1t Was Made Good by
Higher Power.

A pretty sharp rebuke has been admin
istered in an indirect way to an officer OF
the Fourth Artillery, now stationed at the
Arsenal 1t grows out of the action of a
board in correcting the character indorse-
ment on the discharge of Private Michael
1. NeviDs, of Battery A.
Nevins has completed his term of en-
listment and concluded to leave Uncle
Sans service and try life in the capacity
Of civilian. He applied for his dis
charge and was very much chagrined to
find that he had been marked as fair
regarding his character.
Nevins says that he has always been at
odds with Captain Walter Howe. COM
mander of the battery, and that the indorse-
ment was simply piece of spite on that
officers part.
Consequently he took the matter to .
higher authority. When the circumstances
were explained to Colonel Closson, COM
mandant of the post, he ordered board to
look into the matter, and after carefully
investigating the case, the board indorsed
the discharge to the effect that il found
Private Nevins fully entitled to the credit

LET THEM SAIL AGAIN.

Lord Dunraven's letter to the cup COM
mittee of the New York Yacht Club, pub
lished in The Times this morning, was
written for the purpose OF justifying his
withdra wal from the race on account of
the ovcrcrowding of craft of all sorts in
the waters which should have been open
to the yachts. Dunraveu asserts that
when the first step was eaken to arrange
contest he stipulated that the course
should be kept clear, but that he did not
think it necessary to insert such a stipula
ton in the formal agreement.
The noble lord is quite right in regard
to the evil of overcrowding, but he should
remember that 1t is almost an invariable
accompaniment of yacht racing; that the
evil is as great IN British as American
waters, and that at the Sandy Hook races
there was no such danger imminent as that
which sent his yacht, Valkyrie II, TO the
bottom of the channel at the mouth of the
Clyde.
Most interesting at this time, however,
in connection with this unpleasant affair,
is the offer of Mr. Iselin to resail the last
two races, or to call all the races off and
sail anew for the coveted cup. Possibly
his lordship may think it would not be
dignified, after what has occurred, to
have anything more to do with the yacht
club, which. according to his view, has
treated him somewhat brusquely: but 1t
would really be the best way out of an
unpleasant situation. Dunraven is reported
as saying that he has not decided what he
shall do, and this condition of doubt sug
gests that a new contest for the cup may
yet ia Ike place.
