A Serious Problem.

The board of regents Of the State
hospital for the insane will hold a
regular meeting on Thursday next at
the institution and they will have a
serious question before them to deal
with. The population of the institu-
ton has been on a steady increase for
a year or more, and in the last few
months the increase in the number
Of white female patients has caused
the wards devoted to them to become
filed to their utmost capacity. The
rate at which this class of patients is
being increased is from one to two a
week. The result is that there are
now 290 of them in the hospital, and
the board may in the next few weeks
be forced to the necessity of notifying
the several judges of. probate that no
other white female patients can be
received except when vacancies occur
by discharges or otherwise. The total
population of that institution has in
creased to 955.
The asylum authorities have been
making all haste to clean off the new
property recently purchased and put
ting two of the residences therein in
condition to receive some of these
white female patients. These resi-
dences will accommodate IS of this
class Of patients. They will have to
be securely fenced in, however, before
they can be occupied. This will re-
lieve the strain temporarily, and it is
hoped that the necessity referred to
above will not arise.
The authorities have put the new
property in excellent condition and
the O'Neal house has been moved
from the extension of Bull street.
Sixty acres Of the newly acquired farm
land has been planted in corn.
DR.. Babcock says that while the
population of the hospital is increasing
so rapidly, it is scarcely due to an in
crease in mental diseases. He thinks
it due to Il , increase of population in
the State and the fact that people have
begun to realize that it is best to have
their unfortunate relatives treated in
a hospital, instead of keeping them at
home.-ColumJia State, May 10.

His Third Punishment.

The story is told Of a missionary
who, as someone remarked, chad been
unfortunate with his wives" This
missionary had married at home and
taken his wife with him to India:
There. after two years, she died, and
tie broken-hearted widower received
permission from the missionary board
Of his church to come home.
Here he promptly consoled himself,
and with his second spouse returned
to the field Of his former labor. But
fate was still unkind, and at the
end Of a year he was once more be-
reaved.
Again be sought the permission of
his board to return home, but this
time they gently but firmly declined,
saying they did not feel justified in
the expense of giving him two holidays
within two years. They suggested,
~delicately, however, that if his desire
was to recoup himself for his recent
loss, it was assible for him to depu-
tie a friend to secure for him a new
partner Of his joys and sorrows. This
he accordingly did, and, after consid-
cradle correspondence and sundry de.
lays, the twice-bereaved widower re-
received word that the bride selected
for him was on her way to his arms.
The day the steamer was signalled
the bridegroom-elect went down to
meet it, accompanied by a married
friend. On the return Of the latter to
his house, he was bounced upon by his
wife, who demanded all the particu-
lars Of the meeting.
"Did Doctor Smith seem much over
come when he saw Miss Brown Z" was
the first question.
"Well-yes-a little"
"Wasn't he overjoyed ?"
"Well-overjoyed is not just the
word, perhaps
Why, didn't he say he was de,
lighted ?"
"Well-no-not exactly"
"For mercy sake, tell me just what
he did say and do"
"Well," with evident reluctance,
"when he saw her she was at the
other end of the deck, and she was
pointed out to him by the friend she
had travelled with. Smith looked at
her for a minute, and then he passed
his hand over his eyes, and | heard
him murmur audibly: Red hair for
the third time-and after so much

Dyspeptic Oranges.

A mysterious disease which has at
tackled orange trees in Florida has been
indigestion. The department of agri-
culture, in its "year book pays
special attention to dyspeptic oranges,
and describes the disease and it's cure.
Its cause is the same as that which
so often brings on dyspepsia in human
beiDgs-over-feeding. Excessive cul-
tivation and too much heterogeneous
manure affect the orange tree just as
too much heavy table d.hote dinners
affect a man. Instead of looking pale
and taking pepsin tablets, however,
the orange tree turns a very dark
green, and a reddish brown sap exudes
from the twigs the tips turn up and
shape themselves into S-like curves p;
the fruit turns a lemon.yellow color
before it is half ripe, and has a very
thick rhind. AS it, ripens the fruit
splits open and becomes worthless.
The reddish brown resin gets on the
fruit before it is ripe and renders it
unstable.
Most of the diseases of the orange
tree are due to a lack of cultivation,
and it was thought a tree wou' not
take more nutriment from I'll soil
than it required. This is not 20, for
the tree takes up all that it can get,
and then, like a small boy who has
eaten too much plum pudding, becomes
sick. The dark green color which the
foliage then assume is very hand
some, but it means no oranges, or at
least none that are any good. This
disease is known as die-back, because
the twigs begin to die at the tips and
then gradually die back to the branch
es. To cure the disease, all that is
required is to withhold the fertilizer,
but when the disease has gone too far
and gum pockets begin to form on the
bark, there is no cure Tor it.-Kansas

The Sweet Side OF an Editors Life.

One OF the beauties and charms of an
editors life is in his dead-heading it on all
occasions. No one who has ever tasted of
the sweets of that bliss can begin to take
in its glory and happiness. He does 5000
worth of advertising for railroad, gets a
pass for year, rides S25 worth and then
he is looked upon as dead-head or half
blown dead-beat. He puffs a concert
troupe $40 worth and gets 81 in compli-
mentaries, and is thus passed free" If
the hall is crowded he is begrudged the
room he occupies, for if his compliment
taries were paying tickets the troupe would
be so much in pocket. He blows and puffs
a church festival free to any desired extent
and does the poster printing at half rates,
and rarely gets ''thank you" for it. 1t
goes as part of his duty as editor. He
does more work gratuitously for the town
and community than all the rest of the
population put together, and gets cursed
for it all, while in many instances man
who donates few dollars to a Fourth of
July ball club or church is gratefully re-
membered. Oh, it is such a sweet thing
to be an editor; he passes s.freen you

An exchange says:
''Nr. J. B. Divoll of Rockingham, was in
Charlestown, n. H., Monday for the purpose
of continuing his work of Identification of the
bag of old coins found by boys on the ball
ground and his success has been such that no
doubt now exists as to his ownership. Quite
Il large number OF the pieces are held i'll this
village, and the owner has arranged with G.
n. Bidwell to receive any which may be
brought forward from this date and hold until
further notice. Mr. Divoll talks most inter-
estingly of his collection, which he has been
accommodating since 1919. Much Of the silver
money was in Spanish coin, Il quantity Of
which, from constant circulation, Gt being
then almost our only small currency. was
worn so nearly smooth that the pieces bore
the legitimate cross, cut i'll the face of the
coin. which reduced its value from the origi-
nal pillarcd face value to a lower rate of legal
tender. Several of the pieces, however, were
perfect, and ofconsiderable numismatic value.
The collection of American copper coins was
nearly complete from the original issue, very
few complete collections existing. That the
money should not have been held intact for
a proper length OF time to advertise for the
owner is much to be regretted and the prin-
ciple underlying such summary disposition
of unknown property cannot be too severely
Now that the rightfll owner
has appeared it is hoped prompt return by
all holding any portion, however SMALL may
return at once as partial reparation.

As To Free Notices.

Merchants expect newspaper to write
up the city and give the best points for
manufacturing business, calling attention
to the splendid facilities and advantages
possessed, writes S. E. Haigh, of the Co.
umbus, (Ind J Republican. They expect
the papers to ''roast" citizens who 90 else
where to purchase their goods, but they
forget the newspapers when they wish a
price-list, letter-beads, cards or other
printed matter. They very often get this
away from the place where they do bust
ness.
1t is the same, only in greater degree,
with the manufacturer and banker. All
newspapers should put their veto upon
those who attempt to get their job work
done in small job offices, and then expect
their advertising notices for nothing. 1t is
true that ofttimeS merchant has large
lot of printing to do running into the hun
dreds of dollars. In the interest of his
business, work of this kind should be let
out by bids; but for work which only
amounts to few dollars it is simply ridicu-
lous. A newspaper is an expensive luxury,
and it is also an important factor in the
education Of the community in which it is
located, and it should be supported by
every class Of people.
The impression prevails that political
organ, it its party be in power, derives
sufficient revenue from public patronage to
support it. There never was greater de-
fusion. The patronage from city or coun-
try in year does not pay for the extra
news that is necessary in every campaign
in presenting the advantages of its party
and the merits of its candidates who are
seeking office.
The custom of the various societies and
organizations of a city or town to go from
office to Office for a job of printing and get
bid from each, no matter what the work
may amount to, is rapidly growing. Not
long ago gentleman came to my office tc
get bids on a job that amounted to only
$1.25. This was for an entertainment fo1
the society of which he was member, and
which expected all the newspapers in the
city to give the entertainment gratuitous
notice. | gave him my bid, but did not
get the work The next day he appeared
with notice to be published free. On
being asked if the society expected to
make money out OF the entertainment, he
replied that it did, and that was why it was
to be given. l told him that he must Their
pay for the notice. "Why, I take youl
paper" he said. "Why can't YOU accom-.
modate me in this respect" l replied he
could not expect to get the notice free and
have the tickets and program printed in a
small office that could not advertise it, but
he should get his notice printed in the same
place. He was sensible man and saw the
point, and said he had never viewed it from
that standpoint. He had the notice pub
lished and paid for it.-Newspaperdom.

He rose in response to loud calls for him
and felt in his inside pocket for the manu-

a hole in the bottom.

can did not forsake him. Letting his hand
remain in the breast of his coat he looked
fearlesSly out over the assembly.
MY fellow citizens" he said, II have
no-no words in which to express my
thanks for the honor you have done me in
selecting me as one of your standard bear
ers In this campaign, and will simply ask
you to join me-"
He was interrupted by deafening cheers,
IN which the other orators on the platform
heartily joined.
The situation was still more terrible
He had intended merely to propose three
cheers for the ticket, but the audience had
jumped hastily to the conclusion that he
was extending an invitation of another
kind.
Still he did not lose his head
