Two Harbors This change would mean
a gain Of twenty -four hours in the service
between Duluth and north shore points,
as under the present schedule the mail
lies in Two Harbors that length OF time
before being put on board the Dixon.
Semi-weekly mails will be asked for on
the star routes between Two Harbors
and Grand Marais and between Grand
Marais and Grand Portage under the
new contract to take effect July 1st 1899.
It is hoped by that time that the lake
shore road will be improved through
Lake county SO as to per nit stage line
to be put on that route during the win
ter months. It was also decided to ask
for change Of schedule under, the pres
emit star route contract in order that the
people at this end of the route have more
time between the arrival and departure
of mails. The substance OF the request
is that the carrier leave here on his re-
turn to Two Harbors Wednesdays at
noon instead of 8 a. M as at present.
A committee consisting of L. q. G. Ii
tus, @. Fl. Carhart and Chris. Murphy
were chosen to act with Postmaster
johnson in drafting resolutions in ac-
cordance with the decisions arrived at,
and to also draw up petition asking for
the changes desired under the present
contracts. :,

ASYLUMS FOR INSANE.

The Sacred Temples of Egypt Were
the First known to History.
The first retreats for the insane men
toned in history were the sacred tenn
pies OF Egypt, where the highest devel-
opnent of moral treatment was prac-
ticed for the restoration of reason. One
of the earliest notices IF the establish
r1ent of an asylum for the insane is If,
the life of St. Theodosius, who was born
in the year 423, and died in 500. He es-
tabl1sted near Bethlehem, monastery,
to which were annexed three infrrn-
arles-one for the sick, one for the
aged and feeble and the other for such
as had lost their senses-in which all
succors, spiritual and temporal, were
afforded with admirable order, care and
affection. In medieval Christian
times conventual establishments were
used for similar purposes, but with
these exceptions there were no organ
lied asylun1s for the insane until the
founding OF Bethlehem hospital. This,
the oldest lunatic asylum in The world,
with the doubtful exception Of one at
Granada, was originally founded in 1247
as "a a priory in Bishopsgate. its mother
church being st. Mary's Of Bethlehem
Tor Redeem in Wyclif's spellingl. It is
spokenkof as a hospital for lunatics in
1472, and as such it was granted at the
dissolution to the mayor and citizens of
London. being Incorporated as royal
foundation in 1547.

DANCE OF THE sTARviNG.,'
An Odd Event Among the Poor Z
Hungary.

Hungary.
"a striking article on the agricult urA
condition in Hungary has just been
published in the Neues Wiener Journal
under the title Of 1.-THE Dance Of tie le
Starving. From this It appears that
the peasants Of the Alfoeld plain have
recently organized number Unpopular
balls, which have been attended By
thousands. This does not imply that
the people are particularly happy OF
prosperous. On The contrary, owing
to the strike Of last summer and the
bad harvest, their condition is one OF
great need. The dances are the result
OF the bill passed in the Hungarian
rejchstag for regulating the relations
between land owners and their laborr
ers. That bill is. regarded as <excep-
tionally hostile to the latter. For the
laborers, however, liberty of speech and
CT public meeting is SO restricted as to
render all gatherings for political pur-
poses practically impossible. Hence
this stratagem OF popular balls. It is
pointed out that the accounts of these
peasant dancing parties are accom-
panied by the news of acts of pillage
and strike against taxes, which have
rendered necessary the Intervention Of
the military. The present movement is
direct consequence of the harvest
strike of last summer, and of the taeas-
ures adopted by the government to pre-
vent it's recurrence. The obnoxious
bill, according to the Neues Wiener
journal, delivers up the laborer to the
arbitrary discretion of his employer,
emitting the latter to put an end, to
the agreement he has entered into, and,
to withhold the wages he has agreed to
pay If the laborer should, in his opin-
ion, be socialist agitator. If the Ia
borer, however, should fail to appear
at the time and place appointed, the
employer is empowered to call upon
the authorities to force him to carry:
out his contract. The laborer has no.
legal remedy against this proceeding,
while the employer is assured of the
cooperation of the authorities in the.
event of strike. Such injustice as
this, as the writer remarks, might con-
vert = strike very easily into a rebel
lion.

AN ENORMOUS SAPPHIRE.
Bright Gem from CeylOn Now in Lon.
don Weighs 63S Knrats.

Bright Gem from Ceylon Now in Lon
don Weighs 63S Knrats.
The London Times tells of a Ceylon
sapphire in that city, the property of
Maj. Gen. Robley, which is not less re-
raarkablc for its size than for its trans
lucency and the bgilliance Of the op-
teal effects it can show. The weight
of the gem is 638 karats and it is of q
dark, milky blue color, perfectly trans
prrent and Aawless.
Large sapphires have been known, but
they have usually, if not always, been
dull and muddy, instead of having the
clear, translucent color of this speci-
men,, But in addition it possesses a
property occasionally found in slightly
cloudy or milky Ceylon sapphires-and
sometimes in other gems, too-whicl,
greatly enhances it's value in the eyes
Of believers in the occult powers of
precious stones to confer health and
good fortune On their wearers. It is q
star sapphire, OF astoria. That is, be-
ing cut en- cabochon, it displays beau
;stiful opalescent star, dividing its six
rays at the apex, which changes it's po-
sition according to the movement of the
source of light by which it is viewed.
BY employing two or three sources of
light, two or three of these stars can be
simultaneously seen in the gem.
By further cutting it is said that the
beauty of this stone could be still more
increased, but, of course, at the expense
of it's size.
