HE IS INSANE.
Rev. Frank Hyatt Smith Will Be-
Sent to an Asylum---WrOte Scur-
rilOus and DefamatOry Postal Cards
10 Members Of His Congre. alton.

Boston. Mass, November 22.-Rev.
Frank Hyatt Smith was to-day adjudg-
ed insane by Judge Nelson, at the close
of a hearing in the United States Cir
cult Court. He Will sent to the United
States hospital for the insane at Wash
ingt0n as soon as the necessary papers
can be made out.
Mr.. Smith was recently indicted for
sending scurrilous and defamatory pos
tai cards to members Of his former
church in Cambridge, the North Ave-
nue. Congregational, who had favored
a change of pastors. The government
did not contest Smiths plea OF insanity,
as both its medical experts admitted
the fact and advised that the defendant
be sent TO an asyim.

Washington, November 22.-Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue Miller feels
in high feather these days because Of
the heavy receipts that are rolling into
the Treasury by way Of his bureau.
The governments income from internal
taxation was never better than 1t is at
present and the indications are that it
will continue very heavy for months to
come. There is not doubt that if the
Supreme Court had not upset the in
come tax law, Commissioner Miller's
bureau would now be gathering in daily
from citizens who can well afford to
pay it, enough money TO turn the pres
ent deficit in the total revenue into a
net surplus. Even as the tax laws
stand, the revenues would be equal to
the expenditures if the customs were
yielding relatively as large a return az
the internal revenue. But the unfor-
tunately small number OF foreign i'm
pOrtations is keeping the receipts from
customs duties at so low a point that
cannot bring the totals up TO eXpendi-
lures. While the officials OF the ad-
ministratiOn do not care to talk for
publication on the subject, 1t is the be
lief of some of them that no matter
what the Republicans may undertake
in the line of increasing the tariff
again to the Mckinley measure, they
will in the end be compelled to enact
new internal taxes in order to meet
government expenditures, unless the
latter are reduced materially below the
present figure. There is not a doubt
that if the Mckinley law had been in
force during the past eighteen months.
the condition of the Treasury would be
much worse than it is now. The eX-
Orbitant tariff rates of the Mckinley
law would, during the late severe de-
preston have reduced impOrtations TO
the lowest point OF the last twenty
years. thus cutting the income from
customs duties down to a beggarly to-
tai. And if the Republicans attempt
to restore the Mckinley rates, they Will
find that instead of increasing the Gus
toms receipts thereby, they Will reduce
them. Thus, in the end, there will re-
main no alternative but to find new OBJ
i5cts OF internal taxation, for it is GER
tain the Republicans will never inaug-
urate a policy Of retrenchment in gov
ernment expenditures. All their ten
dencies are toward that most vicious
and insidious form of patriotism in
levying heavy taxes on the whole peo-
pie in order that they may have i'm
mense sums to squander on so-called
improvements in favored sections and
communities.

Ice Water at Meals.

A pitfall for the imprudent dys-
peptic, who has small control over
his other appetite, is drinking too
freely of ice water atmeals. Persons
who cat rapidly of rich food that is
highly sweetened, spiced and salted,
and who do not digest at equal speed,
must needs drink to quench an al
most steady thirst arising from these
causes, and that only ice water seems
to satisfy. The self control OF the
average woman is not always equal
to tho task of a sensible apportion.
ment of water, butan excellent check
on imprudent drinking will be found
by squeezing the half of a large lem
on into a glass, then filing the glass
but half full from the ice pitcher
and slipping throughout the meal.
Though the lemon is not unpleasant
to the taste, it cools the throat al
most instantly, mouthful of it in
this solution giving the relief of q

rireproof Stairways,

Professor Goodman of the York
shire college. writing on this subject,
says that it is a mistake to suppose
that stone stairs are safer than wood
en- ones in case of fire. Stone is Of
ten the first material to fall in case of
fire. AS soon as the fire begins to
play upon the thin slabs of stone,
such as arc used for stairs. they col
lapse with a crash. His opinion is
that iron or steel stairs incased in
coke breeze or broken brick concrete,
makes by far the safest staircase, so
far as the fire risk is concerned.

Tho Gecko.

The gecko is IN odd little creature.
His name is seldom heard, and his
form is seldom seen, for he lives In
warmer climates than this. His
home is in Africa and the southern
countries of Europe.
This little gecko has SO many
strange ways and there is something
so uncanny in his appearance That
the people of tho countries where
he lives arc rather afraid of him, be-
lieving his bite to be poisonous, al
though this is denied by naturalists.
He isa little creature, with a broad,
fat head, like snake, and a long
body, with a narrow tail. with odd
shaped bits of skin arranged like
scallops along the sides of it. He
has short legs and queer, catlike
claws, which enable him to easily
climb the old walls and rocks upon
which he lives, catching the insects
of various sorts which make his din
ner.
He is a nocturnal animal, walking
abroad at night and sleeping in the
daytime. He moves with sudden
rushes and without any noise what
ever His odd name was given him
from the queer noise he makes,
which is something like the noise
you would make to start horse
with. Tho male gccko is of gray
color, so near the shade OF the old
walls and rocks among which he
makes his homo that he can barely
be seen. ST Louis Post Dispatch.
