A Mad Lecturer.

One of the patients of Prof. Kraft
Ebing, who occupies the chair of
mental diseases of the Vienna uni
versity, recently delivered a lecture
before the professors students,
speaking for an hour. The patient
suffers from periodical seizures,
which return every year, and will
end in permanent madness. During
these attacks, according to the
above-named specialist, he is much
cleverer and wittier than in his sane
condition. When his patient was
introduced in the lecture room, he
mounted the platform with a grave
air The professor asked him what
subject he would lecture upon, and
he replied Upon The Mental Con-
dition of the Maniac in Periodical
Attacks of Madness. The audi
ence often interrupted the speaker
with sincere applause, and when
there was laughter at his witty re-
marks he looked flattered. He left
the platform with grace and dignity,
and returned to his ward. The pro-
fessor told the audience that at col
lege he had a fine record Cores

MANY MURDERS.
Italy Has a Years Record of About
Four Thousand.

italy has Years RECORD OF ABOUT
Four Thousand.
correspondent writing from
Rome gives an account of an ad-
dress by Prof. Baron Garofalo de-
livered recently before a popular
audience in that city. Garofalo,
who is recognized as one of the lead
ing penologists of Italy, gave some
statistics regarding the annual loss
of life by homicide in Italy which
were very startling, says the New
York Recorder. The total number
OF murders in Italy during the last
year was about 1900, which is
equivalent, said the speaker, to a
homicide every two hours. This is
a very much greater mortality rate
than exists in other civilized coun-
tries, the ratio in France being one
tenth that in Italy and the ratio in
Denmark being thirty fifth Of
that in Italy,
This tendency to homicide is due,
dCCOIOlhH W DdIOh Wal OAoiOt AAoD
to the existence of the vendetta,
which has fingered longer in Italy
Snan in any other country; then to
the practice of dueling, and perhaps
more than all to certain defects in
education and to racial tendencies.
Garofalo thinks that the remedy for
this consists in improving the sys-
tenn of administration of justice, in
enforcing capital punishment, in re-
casting the methods of education
throughout Italy largely on the lines
advocated by Lombroso and his
school, and finally, In the ennobling
OF the moraland religious sentiments
of the people. This, according to
Garofalo, is to be done not so much

To the religious instruction given
in Great Britain and the United
States he attributes the fact that
these countries have in 40 years
diminished by one-half their annual
proportion of delinquents and men
dicants, while in Italy there has been
an increase in both delinquency and
mendicancy since 1862. Baron
Garofalo's strong advocacy Of the
value of religious training, coming,
as it does, from the school OF Lom-
broso, is a factor which religious
teachers and professors in this
country will rejoice over with great
heartiness.

Life of a Locomotive.

Some careful experiments which
nave been made in England prove
that the life of locomotive is about
800 600 train miles" In other
words, that a locomotive of the
latest approved pattern will run
500, 900 miles before wearing out so
as to be useless. In making this
run of 100000 miles the fire box will
have to be renewed three times, the
wheel tires five or six times and the
crank axles from three to five times

SOBRIQUETS AND SURNAMES
How Some WeIl-Known English Fam
lily Names Originated.

A great many sobriquets remained
fixed as family names, the most inn
portan, perhaps, being those which
referee to the color of the hair or
complexion, from which we get our
well-known names of Brown, Black,
Gray, White, Reed (red), Motley,
Fairfax Qight, and Blount (fair }
Others again were those given out
of compliment or derision for some
personal attainment or character
istic, as Armstrong, Mitchell GREAT,
Singer, Whistler, Eatwell, Swim
dells, Strong, Weak, Small, Long
fellow, Crookshanks, Longman,
Whitehead, Broadhead, Swift, Sober,
Noble, Hardy, Doolittle, Goodman,
Badman, Smell (agile), Darling,
Long, Short, Bachelor, Savage,
Wise, Sweet, Moody and so on. To
this list should be added those of
King, Queen, Pope Bishop, Knight,
Prior, Abbot, Squire, Earl, Duke,
Baron, Lord, Prince and others of
similar kind, which were originally
imposed upon individuals because of
their supposed resemblance to the
dignitaries represented by these
names, or because of services they
may have rendered them. Then
there are those which do not come
within any particular category, but
owe their origin to some circum-
stance or event, which the name no
doubt appropriately suggests, but
which has been lost to posterity:

Alphabet in Schools.
People who are prone TO use
sympathetic remarks in speaking of
deaf mutes may be very much sur
prised TO know that it will not be a
great while before these mptes are
looked upon as q very fortunate
class of people. Indeed, there is q
serious thought Of compelling every
body in the land TO learn the
language of the deaf. It's strange
language, too, about which the ordi-
nary citizen understands very little,
even though he believes he knows so
much
There is a wide difference between
the sign language and the manual
alphabet. The latter which is
more or less familiar to many peo-
pie, is merely the rs letters OF the
alphabet expressed by the fingers
instead of written on paper or
spoken orally.
The sign language is a much more
complicated affair, and its mastery
entails great deal more study and
practice than the average citizen
cares to expend for that purpose.
But it is the simple manual that the
National Association OF the Deaf is
endeavoring to have made com
pulsory part OF the education OF
every man, woman and child in the
country, says the New York Herald.
The argument used in favor of
such legislation by the national COM
mitteemen who are lobbying for the
bill is that it will benefit in count
less ways the million Of more deaf
people in the United States without
in any way encroaching upon the
time or comforts of the other mil
lions who are in possession of their
hearing.
Just now the efforts of the as
ISOLATION are being directed toward
securing the introduction of the
manual alphabet into every school
book, and its being made as much a
part of the curriculum as geography
or arithmetic. Children are quick
to learn it, they say, and by devot-
ing few minutes each day to its
study under q competent teacher
they become proficient in its use in
short space Of time.
AS an incentive to the learning Of
the alphabet by adults, the associa-
ton makes it known that all it's
members will hereafter give prefer
ence in all cases to merchants who
are able TO talk to them in their
own language. This rule will not be
confined to the deaf only, but to all
members of their families and to as
many friends and acquaintance as
the afflicted ones may be able to in =
fuence AS this fact has already
been made known to merchants in
many sections, the more progressive
among them have begun to learn to
talk on their fingers, and it is not
an uncommon thing in the west,
where the movement started, to see
a dignified business man practicing
the new language with some equally
up-to-date acquaintance whom he
has met on his way downtown to
business.
The custom, it is expected, will
soon reach New York, to make the
elevated trains and surface cars i'm
promptu schoolrooms for the study
| of the language of the deaf.

QUESTION NOT PERTINENT.

Correspondent Shriver Declared Not
Guilty of Contempt.
WASHINGTON, June l9.-John 5. Shr-
yer, the correspondent Of the New York
Mail and Express, was declared not
guilty of contempt in refusing to ans
wer questions of the senate committee
in relation to sugar trust investigation.
Judge Bradley based his decision i'll
the Shriver case on two points, first,
that the witness had not been legally
summoned, and second, that the ques-
ton asked him was not pertinent. The
contention of the defense that COM
munications to newspaper men are
privileged as class, the same as are
communications to priests, physicians
and attorneys, the court refused to main
tain, but as the court did, on the other
hand, hold that to ask the witness the
Eame Of his informant was not peril
nent question, the counsel for the de-
fense now hold that a precedent is estab
lished which virtually brings newspaper
witnesses within the privileged class.
Later in the day Correspondent Ed

for this fact the entire train must have

which did not go in contained about 81
passengers. The injured were mostly
