Mental MolAaie0.

Within the memory Of living men
there were physicians who held the
theory that ,uental disorders were in
the majority of cases nothing more or
less than vicicusness, ugliness, or, to
use their favo.ite expression, ''pure dev-
ilishness. - The logical sequence OF this
line of reasoning was that the infirmity
was something to be eradicated by chas-
tisement given in allopathic doses.
More than ono sufferer has been merci-
lessly whipped and many another has
been chained and starved with the view
to exercise the evil spirit that was pop
ularly supposed to be the cause of all
the trouble. The starvation part of all
the treatment might have given favor
able results, as extreme reduction OF the
physical sy ystem often removes the clouds
from the mental, but cruelty or brutal
ity is the worst possible remedy for at
fiictions of this nature, simply aggra-
waiting and increasing them without the
faintest hope of benefit. Disturbances OF
the psychic half Of the human econo-
my are even more numerous and impor.
tant than those affecting the physical
and material.
One of the misfortunes Of patients
who suffer from mental disorders is the
lack of appreciation of the grave nature
of their disease. Even eminent medical
men, especially those who are them
selves in the enjoyment ofrobust health,
find it difficult to appreciate the more
delicate phases of nervous distress.
Merely nervous attack means a great
deal more than the average person is
capable of understanding. The horrors
that cluster around even the milder
forms of insanity are such that the
merest shadow of mental disturbance
demands tho most thorough and intel
ligent treatment. Ministering to mind
diseased is a phase Of the physician's
work that is, too little understood and
receives much less attention than its
importance warrants. New York Led

Ono Cannot Overthrow . Republic.

In The Century there is an article on
political society in Paris under the title
Of "Royalists and Republican," writ
ten by Baron Pierre de Coubertin.
Speaking Of the efforts Of the Legiti-
mists and Orleanists M. de Coubertin
says:
The period which followed the de-
cease of the Count de Chambord was
ono Of increasing disillusions 1t had
been SO continually reiterated among
their adherents that the Orleans princes
would "do something" as soon as they
had "the right" that every one had
ended by believing that they would.
Now that the right was theirs as the
sole representatives Of legitimacy, they
did nothing. Very little reflection suf-
feed to show how impossible it was
that they should do anything. One may
conspire against sovereign, overthrow
monarchy. What power can be used
against republic based on the ballot?
To all pretenders the republic replies:
"You wish to take my place? Very
we'll You have the right to do So Get
a majority. Get them to elect you. "
An electoral majority large enough to
modify the constitution in favor Of the
individual to whom democracy gives
it's confdence-that is the only chance
in republic. General Boulanger might
have attained his end in that fashion,
and even he failed. With the Comte do
Paris it was out Of the question. He
could not at any time have commanded
a sufficient number of votes. And it
would have been incompatible with his
dignity as pretender to sue for them in
person.

The SkyIark's Song.

In the winter the skylark Of England
does not sing, but in carly days Of spring
the great focks of these birds break up,
and then 60 in pairs to look for places
to build their nests and rear their young
ones. And then the charming song of
the skylark is heard in all its sweetness
While the mother bird is brooding over
her eggs to warm them her mate often
rises into the air, and then with quiv-
ering wings mounts vertically upward
SO far that he looks like mere speck
in tho sky, and all the time pouring
forth his rich and beautiful song, but
at last ceases his song before descend
ing again to the nest.--St. Nicholas.

Lost Arts of Egypt.

Analyses of weapons and tools, dat
ing from very ancient times in Egypt,
have convinced M. Berthelot, the French
chemist, that the old Egyptians used
pure copper in the manufacture OF such
objects They displayed much ingenu-
ity in manipulating that metal. A chis-
eli was made by folding thin strips Of
copper over one another and then forg-
ing them into solid blade while hol-
low needles were formed from copper
leaf by method very similar to that
which is employed at tho present day
IN making helical tubing for bicycles.

The resignation Of the Spanish cabi-
net is the movement of rats DESERVING
sinking ship. They know, what every
body else knew long ago, that Spain
Can never reconquer Cuba. They were
at the end Of their rope. The policy of
cruelty, of force, deceit and repression
of which Weyler in Cuba is Spain's
most illustrious exponent has proved a
dismal failure, as such policy always
proves Spain must let Cuba 40. Rather
than face this themselves the Conserva-
tive cabinet resigned so as to let the
odium of the loss in the minds of the
Spanish people rest on the Liberal par
ty. With Cuba gone, with the rebellion
IN the Philippine islands stronger than
ever, with Spain bankrupt and disgraced
In the eyes OF gods and men, this das-
tardly resignation was a fit climax to
the policy of the Spanish Conservative
party for the past ten years.

4 Co1ored Mans Eloquence.

When the negro race is lifted up and
civilized thoroughly, the black man
will probably take first place among the
worlds orators. A fervidness, an i'm
passioned eloquence exist IN negro ora
tory that seldom move and thrill
| through the colder temperament of the
/ white speaker, E -. 5 :: z's.: y,
50 The address recently at Nashville Of
President w. H. Councill Of the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College For
Negroes, at Normal, Ala, is a notable
example Of the black mans power of
e1oquence. President CounciH APPEALS
to the negro himself to stop those crimes
of violence against white women. for
which persons Of his race are being
lynched. He says the blacks themselves
must be the first to take hand in cap
turing and bringing to justice the fends
who commit such crimes. It is stain
and a dishonor on the black race which
themselves must wipe out. Here is iii
extract from the concluding portion of
his address: IT,.
Let us restore that sense of security which
white women felt so years ago in the presence
OF our fathers under any circumstances amid
the most forbidding environments. We must
make tho hlmblest white woman in the re-
hottest and widest part of our country feel as
safe in the presence OF a negro man as angelic
Eva did alone with her Uncle Tom. Let us
make the Wilito woman Of this land and of all
lands feel that our black arms are ever ready,
backed by hearts pure as truth, guileless
as babes, to defend their honor-that we are
willing to throw our black bodies between
them and their assailants and shed our blood
to the last drop III protecting them and nunt
ing down and executing these brutes in human
form.
Tell it out that all the world may hear
print it in the heavens blue so that he who
runs may read-that the negroes in this land
will frown down, cry down, hunt down and
strike down; this crime and these criminals,
until not one shall be left in all the land, and
black face shall be a badge Of truth, of
peace, of protection to innocence. know that
these criminals do not form part of our au-
diences, congregations schools, social gather
ings, industrial communities and yet it is our
duty to seek their haunts and the influences
which produce crime. and criminals and with
whip of the law and the gospel Of right eous-
ness scourgc them until vicious idleness shall
give place to yirtuoUs, industrious intelli-
gence. and thus purge ourselves and wash
away these foul stains of diShonor.

their brains at night to get an educa-
ton, Good scholars in mechanical
drawing, manual training, natural sci
ence and even languages have been also
graduated from the helpful night school.
Many talented and deserving young
people are situated, though, so they
cannot go to school even at night. They
may be in localities where there! is no
evening school. Even these can in course
of time secure an education if they set
their heads to it. During the warm
weather and light evenings of the sum-

outdoors as much as possible Now as
the long evenings close in there will be
an hour Or two on the hands Of nearly
all waGeworkcrs.
How shall they spend that time? Des-
ultory reading is not good. 1t fritters
away the intellectual powers After
reading a good newspaper enough to
keep oneself acquainted With the worlds
current events, the best thing to do is to
take up some one branch Of study and
pursue it from one to two hours each
evening. An hours study q day for seven
or eight months would give a young man

history Or civil government would make
