The Curious Case of q Negro Which L.

A case of insanity OF a curious sort is

among the medical fraternity of Lon

and could give no of himself
because of severe fits of laughter,
which convuIsed his frame. He was
taken TO the nearest workhouse, and
ever since then has done nothing but
laugh.
He has not uttered q word in the in
Ierval, and what is his name on where
he came from is unknown. He laughs
continuously from morning till night,
and at nieaLtimes he swallows his food
like lightning. in order, apparently,
that he may continue his fit of mirth
with as little interruption as possible.
When he goes to sleep his sides shake
with laughter, and in the morning, the
moment he opens his eyes his eapa-
cious mouth opens with a lou guffaw.
At first it was thought he had adopt

sane, and saying that his cure ia doubt
full. The chances are. it seems, that
he will literally laugh himself to death.
This form of insanity, though rare,
Is not unknown to medical science,
though the mania is generally of a
transitory nature. There are several
cases on record of grave personages,
Who had rarely been seen to smile,
breaking into a habit of uncomfortable
and contagious laughter. DR.. Clouston
tells of a solid, prudent business man
who one day startled his family by a
fit of laughter. which lasted so long
and was so hilarious that everyone in
the room had to join in.
From time to time after that he
would be seized IN the church. in the
train or In the streets, and whenever
he started all who heard him would
have to follow. 1t was the first symp-
tom of mania. Very soon delusions

CHILDISH SsNSATIoNALISM.

A Tendency Thai Mothers Should Strive to
Curb.
While few grown people are superior
to feeling actual delight in imparting
a startling piece of news. they often
fail to appreciate what a genuine SEN
s~ationalist the average child is. Did
mothers recognize the owe of causing
a ~commotion which exists even in a
modest child, they would curb the
tendency, instead of fostering it,
as they too often do. When
your child falls and hurts himself,
do not exclaim aloud and rush wild
~ to his help. You can see at a glance
that he is not seriously hurt, and even
If he were injured, your excitement
would harm rather than help him. Go
to him at once, by all means, but be
calm and sensible. If treated thus
whenever he is hurt, a child soon learns
to receive the blows and knocks incl
dent to childhood in a quiet, manly
way. He loves to make an impression,
and if he knows he can produce the de-
sired result by lusty screams, he will
certainly give vent to them.
To the average child grief itself is
greatly mitigated if he may awaken
interest or excitement by telling his
friends Of it. Said a mother to her
fve-year-old boy: my son the baby is
quite i'll. Go across the street and ask
the doctor to come over and see her."
The child sprang to his feet and rushed
down stairs. What was his mothers
dismay to near him yell, as he tore
across the street: Doctor, doctor
Come quick to my housed My baby
sister is awfully ill and mamma
wants you this Instant" A moment
later he entered his mothers room
with a smile of ecstatic joy upon his
countenance. and with the proad an
-nouncement: THE doctor will be
right over. I tell you, 1 scared him
welll" There was no anxiety in his
mind with regard to his sisters well
fare. Not that a child of that age
could have been expected to share his
mothers anxiety. But his sympathy
was altogether drowned in the Joy of
having produced q sensation. While
such occurrences may be amusing. do
they not suggest a spirit of self-con-
seriousness hat should be promptly
suppressed?-Harper's Bazaar.

WASHING n
A Few Hints which VIII Prove Useful to
Housewives.

Housewives.
The most incompetent "slavey,' as
the English term the haif-taught girl
that is compelled to pick up jobs in gen.
eral homework, rather than take an ex-
pert maids place, is supposed to be able
to wash dishes. This supposition has
caused much destruction of fine china.
No one can do any work worth doing
properly without thought, care and
some system. Dishwashing requires a
good-sized sink, two dishpans, one of
proper size to set in the sink and one to
put on the table neal by, an abundance
of heavy linen towels, some glass
towels, dish mops and dishcloths. The
dishcloth should be of strong linen.
Stair crash is excellent for this purpose
1t oon becomes soft enough to be Hex
ible, and wears better than anything
else. Make these cloths about ten or
twelve inches long, of narrow crash, and
hem them so they will not fray when
they are put through the laundry. If
dishes are gathered up in order ami
properly seraped it saves half the
trouble of washing, Greasy or tishy
dishes ought to be scraped and wiped
OF with pieces of paper, which should
be burned up at once. 1t takes only a
little time to wipe away grease, but
saves the presence of this same grease
in the dishwater. where it clings to the
pan and is likely to get on breadplates
and other dishes that are comparatively
clean. Fish always infects dishcloths
and towels if the dishes that have con-
tanned it are not thoroughly wiped
with paper before being washed. Knives
should always be treated this way be-
fore they are washed and occurred. 1t
is easier to burn paper soiled with
grease and fish oil other unpleasant
kitchen odors than it is to wash the
cloths used to wipe them. As long az
the dishes are washed afterwaFd, clean
paper, even newspaper, will do to wipe
them off. Put the dishes in no. suds.
use the dish mop freely and transfer
them to the other pan to be rinsed. Let
this second pan be very large, anG havc
a wooden drainer fitted in two inches
from the bottom, so that the boiling wa
ter poured over the dishes will drain off
them. This is the best and safest way
of draining them. Wash pots. spiders
and kettles with an iron dishcloth, with
q scraper also attached to the handle.
Wash them outside and inside. first
rubbing Off any pot black on the bot
ton with a piece of newspaper, which
must be burned. When dishes r
washed in this way dishcloths and dish
towels will not become foul and re-
quire such continued washing with soda
and scalding water as they usually do.

HOW TO KEEP WELL.
Errors Most Commonly Committed at Di

Errors Most Commonly Committed at Diff
ferent Periods of Life.
Health is a comparative term. To
be "well' is to be mot ILL.," that is, not
to be suffering bodily pain Dr. weak
ness, nor debarred from the ordinary
occupations of life by physical infirm-
ity.
Yet everyone however well has, like
Achilles, his vulnerable point; and
everyone, in justice to himself, his fam
lily and the state, should devote some
portion of his thought and time to a
systematic care of his health.
After early childhood the majority
of deaths occur from diseases which
may fairly be called chronic. Many
diseases which are not chronic, in the
strict sense of the word, are grated
upon the system months, and often
years, before they manifest them
selves ~outwardly.
Many of these troubles are therefore
preventablc, and the manner of pre-
vention Is by assuming habits of mod
Ell alton in the everyday functions of
life, as well as avoiding all excessively
exhausting pursuits.

may last a long time. they must be
properly exercised. For those who are
well, nothing conduces so much to the
continuance of health as a busy, active
life intermingled with periods of rec
reation.
If we omit accidental causes of NOR
tally, and acute infectious diseases,
we may say that the disease to be espe-
cially guarded against from an early
age are insidious complaints of the
lungs, heart and kidneys, organs
which are liable to become irrepara-
bly, damaged by a daily SHINING against
health.
The errors most commonly commit
ted at different periods of life are those
to be most constantly borne in mind.
To sum up, they are as follows:
In childhood, errors of feeding, i'm
proper or improperly administered
food, and irregular hours for feeding
and sleeping.
In adult life, lack of regular exer-
else, excuses In eating or drinking,
and exclusive devotion to exacting
cares.
Old age, like early infancy. suffers
