Blood Poison and insanity.

While the fullest credit should be
given to the staff of this important in
stitution (the State Institute of Pathol-
ogy), it is but fair to state that the
study of toxaemia in connection with
insanity is by no means a novelty, nor
is 1T the discovery Of the enterprising
young gentlemen connected with that
establishment who have been credited
Herewith. Over decade ago Solomon,
Regis and Others recognized the toxic
origin of mental disease, while no less
than ten others, among them Herter
and Smith, have written extensively on
the subject. Perhaps most credit
should be given to DIR. Allan McLane
Hamilton, whose paper on "Autotoxis
as a Cause of Insanity" was read before
the Medical society of London in May
last, and noticed in your London letter
a short time subsequently. In this pa
per, which contained much original re-
search, the connection between tox-
aemia and insanity was fully shown

srrated TO be disease. The victims SUI
fer from a maladt which produces an
enlargement of the joints, and this, more
than any other growth of the bones,
produces their extraordinary height.
But men within certain limits grow tall
without suffering decreased orabsorbed
mentality. It will not do to denounce
the tall man when the world has seen
so many examples of his being able to
hold his own.
The real reason why the tall men do
not come to the front oftener is that
they are modest as they are extended.
Little men usually hustle about to such
an extent that people believe they make
up in width of views what they lack in
stature. In their absorbing ambition
not to be overlooked they simply over
do the thing and make those whose
command of the horizon is larger be-
lieve that they must get out of the way
or the little fellows will run over them.
The tall man IS almost always looking
down on some one, but if anyone be-
lieves that it is a comfortable situation
he should get himself into it once and
discover how unpleasant it is to carry
on conversation with the. assistance of
a telephone neck. 1t is this excruciat-
ing experience that makes the tall man,
as rule, reticent. His reticence is mis-
taken for pride, pride is believed to be
the evidence of doubt of his own pow
ers, doubt proves deficiency, deficiency
in the tall man can arise only from one
acknowledgement of the body at the
expense of the brain and nervous sys-
tenn. Hence the short man easily ar
rives at the conclusion that the tall man
is misfit, and that he is the only per-
feet being going. Perfection. being
accorded him, he might easily conquer
the world, but he always spells his
chances by marrying a tall woman, who
holds him back. This is the only reason
why the men under five feet six inches
have not already exterminated those
over five feet nine .inches.-Savannah

Reason Why johnnie Could Not Put the
Card Under the Door.
The lady who lives at the family hotel
on the North side was dressing for din
ner. She was not expecting company
just at that moment and was somewhat
startling to the eye. But no eye was
there save hers. Suddenly she was
reused from contemplation of her
charms in the mirror by a knock.
"Some one is rapping again." she NUT
tered. Everybody in this hotel seems
to have a hammer out"
Then in clear, bird-like voice she
called:
"Who is it?"
'It's Johnnie" said voice.
Johnnie was the sad-faced boy with
the painstaking head who brought up
ice water and things.

Two French physicians who have

An Indian Scheme for Mating the

An Indian scheme for Mating the
Braves with Wealthy Maids.
An old custom was revived by the
Nez Perce Indians and their visitors
during the celebration on the last
Fourth of July. The natives of the local
tribe are very wealthy, and there are
designing mothers among the aborigi-
mes as well as in the different classes Of
civilized society. The young bucks of
the Nez Perez tribe are regarded some
what like the scions of royalty in mat
rimonial circles. The maidens from all
visiting tribes we're brought to Lapwai
to find husbands. The customs of the
tribes, which were revived for the occa-
sion, were more effective than the Bos-
ton mans way.
The young men marched forth, and
none but candidates for matrimony
Joined the march. They were dressed
in their brightest colors, and each car
ried white willow cane. As they APP
preached the tents they chanted an In
dian chorus that was as doleful as the
song of the owl, and kept time by beat
ing upon the tents with their canes.
The drumming was deafening to the
distant spectator, and must have been
distracting to the waiting maidens in
the tents.
At last the singing and drumming
had the desired effect The maidens
came forth after delay just long
enough to satisfy that universal pas
sion of the mind of woman to drive
lover mad with doubt. There were
more men than maidens. The former
kept up the march and the music with
out. The maidens countermarched on
the line of the same circle, each select
ing husband from the line. The
chosen ones fastened to follow their
brides away into the darkness. The un-
fortunate suitors were left to despair.

A GIANT STEER.
Eight Feet Tall, Twelve Feet
Long and Weighed 5000
Pounds.

Wichita, Kan. June 21.-The
famous steer Jumbo" which had
attained the enormous weight of
5000 pounds and was still grow
ing, was killed this morning. The
giant steer had been suffering for
weeks from peculiar disease
caused by its rapid and abnor-
NAL growth, and became so stiff
ened in the joints that it was un-
able to move about. "Jumho'
was 4 years old, and measured
eight feet tall and twelve feet
long. He had massive horns
fifteen inches in circumference
and six feet across with perfect
curves. Mr.. Payne decided to kill
him and have him mounted while
his hide was in good condition.
He is an expert in handling large
specimens for mounting. Among
the ANIMALS he has skinned and
skeletonlzed are two elephants,
buffalo, etc. This was the largest
OK ever known in the world, and
would have made it's owner for
tune had it lived. AS mounted
specimen it will attract great at
tention. Mr.. Payne will have it
on exhibition when completed
probably in the east.-Gonzales

Stock Peas For Swine.

The Alabama experiment
station has been testing the value
Of stock peas as a food for fatten
ing hogs. The results are sur.
prising to all corn mon. Corn
alone, corn aid peas in numerous
combinations and peas alone
were carefully tested and the re-
suits published. The result con
clnsively shows that peas were a
better food than corn, and every
addition OF corn reduced the value
OF the ration. Cowpeas alone
produced gain at cost Of only
one-eighth cent per pound. This
estimate is based on the follow
ing facts =: Cowpaas were worth
80 centa per husheI. The price
for gathering the peas was %
cents per hushei, or one-half the
peas gathered. Therefore when
peas are worth 30 cents per bush
el IN the market they are only
worth % cents in the field. The
pigs gather the peas free Of charge,
and the exercise is good for them.
Therefore when the pigs gather
the peas they should be charged
up to them at % cents per bushel.
When it is considered that the
peas are grown chiefly for the
value OF the vines as a fertilizer.
1t is plain that the actual cost of
the pork is very near the zero
mark. In the Atlantic coast
states farmers are learning the
value of peas. We had better be
lmbibing the same lesson, says
the Texas Farm and Ranch.

DIR. MOntague's Remarks.

The only matter in connection
with the Baptist convention that
occasioned any unpleasantness
whatever was u reference to the
State colleges made by President
Montague CT Furman University,
which was understood to be q
most ungracious slap at Winthrop
College, which only few hours
before had complimented the con
vent!on with most pleasing re-
ceptlon, 10 which Dg. Montague
was invited but failed - attend.
There We're few other visitors alb
sent, however. IN the course Of a
very brilliant address DR.. Mon
tague. who buJ recently came 10
this State from Washington to
take the presidency Of The Uni
yeyaiJy, drew a parison be-
tween the great Institution OF
which lie is the head and the
State colleges, saying that if the
University were the beneficiary
of largo appropriations from the
State treasury it too could give
hauquets rivalling that of Lucul-
lus. He was understood to refer
to the dinner spread for the con
vention at Winthrop and it was
surmised that he declined to be
present at the spread because he
had treasured an intention to
slap the girls college in the face.
His remarks gave offence to
the college faculty and the peo.
pie of the town who were present,
and many members of the con-
vention expressed regret that
Furman's president should have
been SO lacking in appreciation
and assured our people that they
were not in sympathy with Mr..
Montague and felt that his thrust
was altogether out of place and
unwarranted.
Some OF the criticisms Of the
distinguished stranger have been
anything else but complimentary.
1t is only fair to state, however,
that Mr.. Montague declares that
he did not refer 50 Winthrop's
dinner given complimentary to
the convention, and citizens of
our town with whom he conversed
say that he was grisvsd that he
should have been misunderstood.
DIR. Montague is = gentleman of
unquestioned intellectual attain
ments, digniiied and courteous al
all times, and it is inconceivable
that he should in the presence of
so much hospitality and social
pleasure have committed so grave
a breach OF good manners, and
for part we are disposed to accept
his declaimer and acquit him of
any intention to offend the peo.
pie who were tho entertainers Of
the great body of which he is a
prominent member.-Rock Hin
