Outwitted the Lunatic.

While residing at Rome Ipaid' a visit
to the lunatic asylum there, and among
the more remarkable patients one was
pointed out to me who had been saved
with much difficulty from inficting
death upon himself by voluntary star
walton in bed, under the impression that
he was defunct, declaring that dead
people never eat. It was soon obvious
to all that the issue must be fatal, when
the humane doctor bethought Of the
following stratagem: Half a dozen Of
the attendants, dressed in white shrouds
and their faces and hands covered with
chalk, were marched in single file with
dead silence into a room adjoining that
Of the patient, where he observed them
through a door purposely left open sit
down to a hearty meal.
"Hello!' said the would be corpse.to
an attendant. "Who be they7"
"pead men," was the reply.
"What," rejoined the defunct, edo
dead men eat2"
''To be sure they do, as you see,"
answered the attendant.
eff that's the case," exclaimed the
dead man, "I'n join them. for I'm
famished. LANCET.

The Development of the skin.

-
By almost constant o~vercovering day
and night for successive generations the
skin has by degeneration adapted itself
to its reduced requirements. From birth
to senile death we are much overcov-
cred. That a full and vigorously de-
veloped skin is a desideratum will be
generally conceded. The tendency is for
ours to degenerate to a tissue paper
consistency. The exquisite structure Of
the skin at once indicates its impor-
lance as one of the organs Of the body.
A homely showing Of that functional
power which can be developed in the
skin Is indicated by the story of the In
dian. Being almost naked and yet ap-
parently quite comfortable in inclement
weather he was asked why he did not
seem to suffer and be made ill by the
exposure, he replied: White mans
face nc pain no sick. Indian all face"
By this excessive covering our periph-
eral nerves are too intensely impressed
by caloric changes, our capillary blood
system too feebly and incompletely de-
veloped to battle most successfully with
heat, disease and traumatic impressions.
Its muscular fat and connective tissue
substance are all too deficient and de-
fective for our greatest comfort and
welfare. All its functional powers have
been reduced. Yet seldom is heard a
cry to develop the skin.-Philadelphia
Medical Journal.

Trapped by Its Portrait.

If an old English writer be true in
his observations, the pheasant must be
a very simple bird, for he declares that
it puts its head in the ground and
thinks that all it's body is then hidden.
This is just what our old friend the os-
trich does in the African desert. The
same author says that it was also cap
tured by another curious plan. A pic
ture of the bird was painted on cloth
and then placed in a spot where it was
sure of being seen. By and by a silly
pheasant coming along catches sight Of
the portrait and goes up to have a close
view of the new neighbor. While en-
gagged in inspecting the canvas the
fowler draws near from behind and
throws his net over the unwary art

The Origin of Massage,

China claims to have originated>mss-
bage treatment. According to long time
Chinese ideas, life is entirely dependent
on ''air currents" which are designat-
ed as the primary aura Of the organism.
So long, then, as the body is permeated
by the air current it is proof against
disease, and the object of physical ex-
ercise Is to circulate the air current.
To effect this the Chinese system is di-
vided into three periods, each period
occupying a hundred days, the first
period commencing at the time of the
new moon.
The patient must rise at 4 o'clock in
the morning and walk outside his house,
taking seven deep inspirations, and i'm
mediately after this two youths who
have been specially trained commence
a gentle friction all over the body,
starting over the cardiac area. At the
time of full moon a further set Of in
spiratory exercises are taken. Later on
In the second period, the various parts
of the body are rubbed with wooden
planks until the muscles are hardened,
and it is not until the hardening takes
place that the real physical exercises
are taken. Between the fifth and sixth
month is the period Of greatest activity,
the European dumbbeu being replaced
by large sacks filed with stones. It is
in the third period that the back mus
cles are chiefly exercised. Chicago

Many clocks with weights and wheels
were in use in England during Chau-

Of the fourteenth century possessed
clocks, though these were used to show
the astronomical movements, as well as

mostly by armorers and blaeksmiths, as

Two Bodies of Opinion.

l was struck by two great bodies of
opinion, as I might call them, on the
question of expansion in America. One
of these l might describe as being a sort
of unreasoning body of opnion-that is
to say, it has not been reasoned out. 1t
takes the shape in the popular mind of a
pronounced and even intense feeling that
in this matter of expansion the duty of
America is clear. Ask the farmers and
business men in the west why the course
which they propose is the duty of America,
They will give no direct reason or logical
reason as far as l find out, but they are
nevertheless perfectly clear and decided
about one thing, and that is THAT this
thing has got to be done" You ask,
"What thing?" and they reply, why,
that America should keep stiff upper lip
to the world; should hold that which she
has not sought, but which has come to
her; that she should keep what she has
got" She must, in short, in favorite
phrase, be true to her own destiny"
Nnw. that Is one body Of opin!e::. There
is also another great body of opinion,
largely prevailing among the reasoning
classes in the United States. Many men
of this class undoubtedly hold very strong
ly that the government is about to embark
upon very responsible experiment, per-
haps an experiment in which there is a
considerable element of danger. -Benja-
