At legislative hearing on behalf OF
the insane poor, a physician recalled
the fact that as late as 1889 the city Of
Boston kept Its pauper lunatics in
wooden cages, which rested on wheels
and were rolled out of the almshouse
on pleasant days, to give the wrctches
a little air and sunshine. When new
building was provided the patients
were trundled Into it in their cages.
But DIR. Butler, the wise and humane
superintendent, promptly set them
free from conditions which might
make a sane man crazy.

only find his bewilderment increased.
In fact, the apparent intention of the
designer of the "Manoir" Is to instill
a lasting doubt in the minds of men as
to whether they do really stand on
their heads or their heels.
Immediately the visitor enters he at
once becomes part and parcel Of the
topsy-turvy scheme. He is ushered
into Il room, and gradually 1t dawns up
on him that he is really walking upon
the ceiling. He looks anxiously round
him for something to CLUTCH there Is
nothing. He takes one cautious step
another! He has achieved the impos-
slble: he has learned to walk with his
head where his heels should be. The
lesson thus being learned, he will find
1t possible to enjoy with equanimity
the ordinary doings Of humanity from
his novel point of view. He may pro

COULD NOT REACH HER MONEY
Dilemma of the Girl with a Lunch Bill
and a Back ButtOned Waist.

Dilemma of the Girl with a Lunch Bill
and a Back Buttoned Waist.
She had listened to n long and I'M
pressive lecture concerning the wicked
ness of tempting thieves and pickpocll-
cts by carrying well-fllled pocketbook
in the open hand the night before, and
had resolved to be no longer guilty in
this direction. SO only just sufficient
money to carry her through the morn
ing's shopping, as she supposed. went
into the purse which she carried; the
rest of her worldly wealth she disposed
of in a different manner. Then she
went down town. proud with the con
seriousness Of having proved herself
strictly humanitarian and up to date.
BY the time the shopping operations
had been completed the sum Of money
in her purse had been reduced to very
slender proportions. Quite forgetful Of
this, however, the fair student of So
cial economy entered a fashionable
lunch-room, and. being hungry ordered
an expensive luncheon and ate it. Bue
when the time came for paying for tho
same rolled around a clear and aston.
ishing nervous shock came with it.
In her pocketbook rested in lonesome
state dime. nickel, and two pennies.
while the check for the luncheon footed
up to three figures. All the other money
which she had about her reposed in
the little money bag of chamois skin
which hung around her neck, beneath
her outer clothing, and the bodice
which she wore was buttoned up the
back!
An intimate friend who providentlal-
ly passed by at that moment rescued
the unfortunate young woman from
her uncomfortable predicament, and
also loaned her a nickel to ride home
on. But the bag of chamois skin went
flying just as soon as she reached her
own chamber, and this particular stu
dent of social science has gone back TO
carrying all the money she possesses
in her pocketbook, for good and all she
says.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Bishop Fallows' parody, wherein he
made man express longing to he Il
kicker rather than an angel, contains
a deeper note than appears to the SUI
perticial observer, says the Chicago
Tribune 1t is the cry Of the age-tne
masculine cry-and one for which
there is the hope of an earthly con
summation Man already stands with
the "kickers,' and it is natural that
he should desire to be among them in
the world to come. Moreover, the
bishops parody is protest against the
inanity of angels. 1t is not. rs the
author declares, that humankind feel
modest expression of their souls long
ing, but simply that the insipdity of
angels. their cloying perfection and
negative goodness, excite revolt rather
than admiration. 1t is so i'm fiction,
and the sanity Agnes in Dickens "Da-
vid Copperiield' richly merits the an
tipathy of a great critic like Saints

assertion that Agnes is perhaps the
most charming character in the whole
