at is really astonishing that so
many manufacturers Of cigars desire
TO use spotted leaf tobacco" says a
dealer in that commodity. for when
you come to consider that the spots
on the leaf are due to artificial causes
in many instances. and that these
methods are positively hurtful, since
strong acids have to be employed in
the process of spotting, one would
think they would wish to avoid it for
this reason alone. 1t is not to be de-
MED that some kinds of leaf tobacco,
notably Sumatra become spotted from
natural causes. but this adds nothing
to it's quality, rs such spots are dis
ease. and are not found in healthy
leaves. and 4 proof of this is that Ha-
vana tobacco with n spotted wrapper
is inferior in taste to the same tobac-
co with 4 plain wrapper. 1t is well
known TO experienced manufacturers
that the best fermented and highest
favored tobacco is without spots and
of reddish to brown color. and
smokers in general will best consult
their own interests in avoiding spotted
cigars. for reasons already mentioned,
and the additional one that manufac-
turers are able to sell cigar of better
quality wnen the wrapper is plain.

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-
opment of moral treatment was prac-
ticed for the restoration of reason. One
of the earliest notices If the establish
ment of an asylum for the insane is in
the life of St. Theodosius, who was born
in the year 423, and died in 529. He es-
tablshed near Bethlehem, a monastery,
to which were annexed three infirm-
aries-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 asylums 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 1917
as priory in Bishopsgate, it's mother
church being St. Mary's of Bethlehem
Tor Redeem in Wyclif's spelling). tits
spoken of as 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.

is soon regarded as ''lazy." People who
are averse to exercise, Or lag easily in

exertion it is because the physical bal
ance is weakened.
Another odd bit of bigotry stands like
a ''lion in the way" Our grandfathers
and grandmothers did not do so, etc.
In this case it is plain that they did
not need the amount of rest that is re-

The Worlds improved 3 alance

Ihe swift success OF our aggressive
policy has left the whole world IN far
more stable position than we found it
at. the opeuing of the year. The annex
alton OF Hawaii bias given that interest
ing group Ut isla1 IDS a settled status, and
our assumption Of responsibility for the
Philippines will speedily bring about a
vastly improved situation in that popu-
lous archipelago. We ought to have no
serious difficulty in assisting the Cub ms
to restore order throughout the island
and to maintain fairly efficient ipstitu-
tions under republican forms. The
wisest men in Spain are venturing to
express somewhat boldly the relief that
they feel in the wholesome Christening
that has come to them in the painful
year 1888 This view has been taken by
business men esp pecially, and prevailed in
the conference Of Spanish chambers of
commerce that has met at Saragossa
Some OF the m 1ost intelligent Spanish
writer's are taking the ground that under
modern conditio ms the responsibility of
sovereignty over distant colonies is far
moro costly tn an profitable, and that
except for the point of pride involved
Spain is greatly better off without Cuba
and the Philippines than with them.
OF course the two situations are totally
different. Cuba WAS entitled to one sort
OF administratio n and the Philippines to
another. Tie Spaniards should have
learned long ago to have given Cuba to
the Cubans in as complete sense as the
English have given Canada to the Can
adams, while they should also have
: learned long ago to administer the Philip
pines strictly for the benefit of the popu
lation, following to considerable extent
I the model of England in India. The
time had come when it was too late to
reform the abuses of Spain's bad colonial
government, and there was no remedy
except to abandon the colonial business
altogether. This heroic remedy is one
that the nations which need it never
: HHVe tHe- grace 10 aQmlnlster to them
selves. It has to be, forced upon them
from without. None the less, they may
in good time letrn to appreciate the
service that has been done to them and
forget the first smart. Spain may quite.
: possibly have D bad year or two at home
with which to end the nineteenth century
but # is reasonable to predict that the
Spaniards will open the twentieth With
very excellent prospects. For the frrt
I time in years they hs.ve an undisturped
I opporitunlty to. giFe attention to home
