LUNATICs OF NEW YORK.
Enough Insane in That State to
Make u FRir-Sized City

Henry McMilen in Lesie's Weekly.
According to the ninth annual report Of
the New York state commission in
lunacy there are held in the various asy-
lums for the insane in this state q, 6S3 per-
sons. Let us see if we can get some com
prehension of what these figures repre-
sent-of the mere material loss that they
stand for. Poughkeepsie, N. Y; Bangor,
Me; Cedar Rapids, To-; New Albany,
Ind, for instance, are among the most
prosperous cities in their respective
states. In daily activities, in churches
and schools, in factories and stores, they
are about equivalent to the effects of the
same number of persons as are confined
in asylums for the insane that the state
of New York IS compelled to support In
other words, the population of these asy-
lums Is nearly equal to that of one of
the cCuntrY's important cities. If the COM
parison could be carried further and we
could ascertain the number of ordinary
paupers, deaf and dumb, blind crippled,
idiOtiC, epileptlc, asylum and hospital in
mates, and Of other public and semi-pub-
lie philanthropic and correctional institu-
lions, the burden which misfortune and
crime put upon the self-supporting would
assume appalling proportions. The most
that we can now do in that direction is
to state that the census of 1890 gave, in
q partial enumera ton OF these classes,
IHPH nuInDeT- at TJ,0LU. l MS was larger
than the population then returned for the
fiourishing cities of Syracuse, N. Y; Co
! lumbus, O.; Worcester, Mass, or Rich
mond, Va. Apparently the number of In
sane has since increased 80 per cent. If
there has been a like increase all along
the line of the dependent and restrained
classes, as is not improbable, their growth
has been much larger than that Of the
normal masses.
There were admitted to the asylums Of
New York state during the year 406 per-
sons whose insanity was attributed to adj
verse conditions, such as loss Of friends,
business troubles, etc. The number of
victims of mental strain or overwork was
29S. Religious excitement was the cause
in ninety-six cases. Forty-seven-four
teen men and thirty-three women-lost
their reason because of love affairs"
! Fright and nervous shock made fifty-two
insane. Intemperance was the cause in
534 instances. Through disease of the
physical system, or f1om causes not as
certained. 1926 persons were committed
as insane. The total number admitted
during the year was 4,649, and of these
ffty-fve were found to be not insane.
Nearly half OF those admitted had in
herited the faint Of insanity.

sion Of the ministers as they leave They
argue peace from Balfour's smile or
war from Chamberlain's frown. They
might as well examine the doorstep or
tnterrogate the porter Ministers are
like the rest of human kind. They don't
talk business in the midst Of a crowd
Probably they don't even think It, Mr.
Balfour strOlls across from Downing
street, with his hands in his pockets, at
2 and not at 1920. When he comes
away, still with his hands in his pockets,
he has apparently forgotten all about it.
Nor can much be gathered from Mr..
Chamberlain. Now that he has a corri-
dor from the colonial Office to the cabi-
net room he is not often seen by the
crowd. As to Lord Salisbury, he would
be bold man who would infer any
thing from the Cecil expression.
There Is still chance for the ingenious
person who wants to infer the cabinet 3
decision from signs and portents. 1t is
remote, and would require a Sherlock
Holmes.
Here it is According to modern
usage says the encyclopedia. "only one
kind of public document is signed by
all the members of the cabinet as privy
councillors, and that is the order for gem
eral reprisals, which constitutes a dec
laration Of war Such an order was is
sued against Russia in 1854, and was
signed by all the members of Lord Aber-
deems cabinet"
All that Sherlock Holmes has to do,
therefore, is to lie In wait and carefully
examine the right hands of all the minis
tiers as they leave the foreign office
II there are traces that the ministers
have been using pens within the last
hour or so-why, there you are. and let
the Beers look cut
When the cardinals were in conc.ave
the Roman populace used to stand out
side the building and watch the chimney
to learn whether pope had been elected
by the smoke from the burning of the
ballot papers. That was an elementary
species of reasoning by deduction, and
the man who first practiced 1t may or
may not have been made chief Of the
detective force of Rome. The man who
deduces war from Mr.. Balfour's fingers
ought to be quite sure of a place at
Scotland Yard.
1t is said that journalist once learned
an important cabinet decision by the
simple process of asking Mr.. Bright as re
walked down the steps. That Won d
not happen often. Her majesty's minis
ters do not encourage public interviews.
There is an understanding, indeed, that
they shall never grant interviews to
journalists. But there are several
bridges across the Thames. When the
cabinet comes to a decision of first i'm
portance the public are not long in ig-
norance of it. During the present
crisis Mr.. Chamberlains dispatches are
made public as soon as decency has been
observed by allowing the Transvaal gov
eminent to receive them first
When the cabinet last met somebody
asked when the Prince of Wales was
coming. The crowd laughed Yet there
was a time when royal personages went
to the cabinet. King William and Queen
Anne always presided at weekly cabinet
councils; but the HanOverian princes hav-
ing very little English generally stayed
away, and since the time of George II.
no monarch has attended the cabinet
meetings, and probably none ever will
again.

sKYsCRAPERS IN ROME.
These Structures Not Modern by Any
Means.


According to Prof Lanciani a Roman
law was promulgated in the days of Au-
gustus which fixed the height Of new
structures at sixty feet on the street
front without limiting the height at the
rear. In consequence large tenement
buildings often rose several stories high
er in the rear than on the street a row

distant elevation, sometimes presenting

the back and descending story bv story

twelve stories at one end of buiIding.
and fourteen or fifteen at the other. The
lowest stories were eight or ten feet high
the highest not over five.

He was a man of experience. He had
visited nearly every known country and
had thrilling adventures in some Of them.
He had hunted big game, and had been
through at least one South American
revolution Consequently he was looked
upon as an interesting storyteller, and,
being in a ccnvivial party, there was a
natural desire on the part of his asso-
ctates to draw him out.
Tell US about the most thrilling, awe
inspiring experience you ever had, one
of them urged.
''Oh, you can't expect him to single out
one as the most nerve-trying OF all, put
in another He has had too many for
that. Just tell US about any one of them,
old man"
The man Of experience thought a few
minutes.
'"There is one that stands out pre-
eminently as the most trying ordeal of
my life," ne said at last. mo other ex-
perience that ever went through begins
to equal It, Nothing else ever made me
half 10 nervous"

I'm not" replied The man of expert
ence. Pr telling you the solemn truth,
1 was a friend of the family of q girl at
Vassar, and, being armed with the proper
credentials, 1 called upon her there and
was invited TO remain to dinner. I was
the only man in the dining room. When
1 entered the girls were already seated
and they took me in from head to foot
1 could feel them doing it. At a rough
guess I should say there were 500 pairs
of eyes riveted upon me, and l knew that
500 girls were passing judgment upon me
and everything connected with me-my
dress, my bearing, my features, my man
ners. everything. One pair of feminine
eyes can make man feel uncomfortable,
two pairs can make him think that life
isn't worth living, and three pairs can
give him the cold shivers. A girl knows
1t and she glores in 1t. When she has
man at q disadvantage there is nothing
that gives her greater pleasure than to
make the most OF ii ard watch him suf-
fer. Those girls had me at their mercy.
They overwhelmed me with cold. critical
analytical glances. that were more deadly
than Mauser bullets Ry the time I
reached the guests table, where I sat in
solemn grandeur with the girl at whose
invitation l was there, i would have
gladly exchanged places with man lead
ing a forlorn hope on the field of battle
Before the dinner was half over I would
have considered being lost in a tropical
jungle pleasing by comparison Oh, those
girls, those girls They left the dining
room before I did, and, in doing so, they
passed my table. 1 tried to talk enter
tainingly to my friend, but I could feel
them going by-and sizing me up ard I
was satisfied that I didn't pass muster.
1t seemed as If each one was saying to
herself: "Oh, he's not so many. He
lacks ease, and his tie isn't on straight
And that" he added, was my most
terrible experience. There was thrill
or q chill to every minute of It. I would
repeat any other ordeal of my life in
preference to it. If you have never dined
with 500 girls fully conscious of their
power and mischievously inclined you
cannot appreciate what 1t is
