MoNoToNY INDUCES MADNESS.
Why So Many Farm Laborers Lose Their
Reason.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
One would be pardoned for thinking
that man who earned his livelihood
by working in the fresh air of the
country. surrounded by sights delight
full to the eye and refreshing to the
mind, would be far less liable to brain
diseases than the man sitting on a stool
over ledger in the stuffy atmosphere
of a smoke-dyed city. But if statistics
prove anything they prove the worth
lessness of that possible superstition.
More agricultural .laborers go mad,
per cent. for per cent, than any other
workers. It is monotony which ex-
cites disinterestedness which leads to
depression, which develops into melan-
cholia, which ends, perhaps, in a cure,
possibly in a suicidal act, probably in an
asylum. 1t may safely be said that
Sunday saves thousands upon thou
sands from the mad house. 1t is the
one break from week to week
which thousands of natures demand
The agricultural laborer. the artisan
and other similar classes of workers
live on monotony, broken here and
there by a small incident which in
time becomes itself monotonous. A

them every day of the week except
Sunday; every motion of his work be-
comes mechanical; he has no interest
in his work beyond what it finds for

White Castaway Pacific Island
Adopted by the Savages.


From the New York Press.
British bark, the Mary Blake, John
Stivens, master, put in at Port Jack
son recently after a somewhat disas-
trous cruise in the South Pacific. She
reported that, having called at Mar
quesas. the mate heard a strange story
of some shipwrecked mariners having
been rescued and kindly treated by a
tribe of savages on an island about
midway between the Marquesas and
Rarotonga. There was of course, moth
ing remarkable about the fact by itself
for, although good many of the ISL
ands round about those ATTITUDES are
inhabited by tribes who love their fell
ioWmen, but prefer their enemies
cooked, there are others whose peoples
are friendly enough. But the singular

savages had made their chief.

a watery sign"-the watery signs are
Cancer. Scorpio and Pisces. At his
ominous words thousands fled to the

canon of Toulouse, even built sort
of ark on four pillars as a haven of
refuge. There was no need of such
excitement No flood came. On the
contrary, the season was even calmer
and drier than usual. Stofier had, in
deed. made a serious blunder and one
for which many of his fellow astrol-

For the Safe Return of the Volunteers
From the War.


From the War.
Great Falls, Oct. 3O.-At a few min
utes past o'clock yesterday evening
the largest crowd ever seen at a. re-
ligious service in this city gathered at
the opera house to give thanks for the
safe return of the soldiers Members
OF Company A and other soldiers in
the city, led by Captains Jensen and
Mercer and preceded by the band, the
veterans of the civil war and ex-mem-
bers of the army, marched down the
alsles OF the opera house and were fol-
lowed by crowd which filled the
building to the top seat in the peanut
gallery and took up the aisles and 9TH
er standing room. The house was
tastefully decorated with bunting,
flags, portraits of Admiral Dewey and
the like, and a large orchestra was in
attendance. On the stage We're the fol-
lowing ministers of the city: Rev j.
H. Little, Rev. Charles F. Richardson,
Rev. w. w. Van Orsdel, Rev. w. N.
Moore, Rev. w. T. Euster, Rev. c. ..
Scott, Rev. Henry Van Engelen and
Rev. c. X. Bidwell. The services COM
menced with the singing of the "Doxol-
ogy by the choir and congregation,
followed by an invocation by Rev. J.
Little. The choir sang Keters Amer

lections from the scriptures. A male
quartette consisting of Messrs. Cole

Rev. w. w. Van Orsdel called down
the blessing of Almighty God on the
service in an eloquent prayer. Nine.

the "Hallelujah Chorus after which
