NOT INSANITY.

Nelson County Herald: A certain
Nelson county man visited the state
insane asylum at jamestown last
month for the purpose of seeing a de-
mented friend who was confined there
in The attendant who accompanied
the visitor advised him, if approached
by any of the inmates. to simulate in
sanity, for his own protection.
AS they were moving through a cor
ridor occupied by patients classified as
harmless, the visitor was accosted by
"a very sane-appearing young man who
announced that he was the victim OF
a grieyous outrage, he having been
confined to the hospital for a year for
Insanity, while in reality he was as
sane IS the visitor himself. In order
to carry out his part the latter said:
but I myself am insane, and have
been for two years
What is the nature Of your delu-
sion?" asked the patient.
aoh, / went crazy on free silver re-
Piled the visitor, for want OF a better
ecuse.
The insane man eyed him carefully
for q moment, and seemed to- be con-
sidering his case. Then he announced:
Why man, you're not crazy, you're
simply a natural-born fool..s

JAPAN IN SEARCH OF IDEAS.
Travelling Commission IL studying
Architecture In the West.


Architecture In the West.
Japan's efforts toward western civil
lization and methods take a new de-
parture every day, says the London
Daily Mail. The latest venture of the
enterprising authorities of the Flowcry
Land is in the direction of architec-
ture, a matter in which up to the pres
ent Japan has been particularly con-
sentative.
1t will be remembered that Crown
Prince Yoshihito was married short
time ago amid universal rejoicing. 1t
had been found that there is no place
sufficiently magnificent to accommo-
date the royal couple, and it has there
fore been decided to build near Tokyo
a dwelling which shall rival in splen-
dor anything existing in the east and
possibly even surpass the royal pal
aces of Europe and the magnificent
structures of America.
To achieve this object it was neces-
sary that Japan's architects should see
some of the buildings of the west, and
accordingly Professor Toro Iwamura
and Mr.. Sano. the former a member Of
the Tokyo Academy of Fine Arts and
the latter an architect in the employ
of the Japanese government have
started on a tour with this purpose in
view After visiting various cities in
the United States and Canada they
have arrived at Toronto where the
public buildings were the object Of
their particular attention. 1t is ex-
pected that they will go to Europe.

THE FAMINE IN INDIA.
Another Appeal for Funds to Aid
the Sufferers.

The treasurer Of the local Committee Of
Clarence F. Norment Of the Central Ma
tional Bank, reports receipt up to date of
something over 81 900 toward the fund for
e!Iayiating the famne-stricken conditions
in India. Cables that have been received
by the New York Committee Of One
Hundred indicate that while rain has fallen
in one or two of the districts where the
scourge prevails, that it has been OF in
sufficient quantity to bring any relief
whatsoever and that the scourge, instead
Of decreasing, is actually upon the in
crease. Orphaned and deserted children are
dying in countless numbers
Never has the demand for relief been
more urgent or the conditions more pftia-
bic The danger that three-fourths Of the
population will perish is imminent; the
suffering from lack of food and clothing is
broadcast.
The local committee again emphasizes
the fact that wonders of relief can be ac-
complisbed by a dollar; that life can be
kept in starving body for many day
by the contribution Of so small a sum.
When it is taken into consideration that
two cents will keep life in starving body.
and that a contribution Of 10 cents only
will save five lives for day each, it Is
felt that those of the community who have
not already responded to the words of ap'
peal will come forward with some slight
assistance.
The Times, as well as the Treasurer.
Mr. Clarence f. Norment viii continue to
receive daily contributions 10 the fund
The following subscriptions to the fund
have been received by the treasurer of the

LONDON'S DROUGHT ENDS
Thunderstorm Comes tG the Relief
of Suffering Millions.
Heat and Humidity the Worst
Known in Forty-threc Yenrs-Lit-
tie Ice to Alleviate the Misery
Straw Hats and FInnucIs Worn by
characterization Worse in Paris.

LONDON, July 2S-At o'clock yes
terday afternoon a thundeesf orm termi-
mated twenty days of absolute drought in
London, during which all records for high
temp erature for forty-three years were
surpassed. In the shade a temperature
of 80 degrees is rarely reached in England.
In only TWO previous summers. 1868 and
1898 had there been five days in which
the temperature was over 90 but in 1900
there have been already six-June IL, 90.1:
July 16, $50, the highest in forty-three
years; July 49, 9S.4; July 20, s2.9; July "a.
90.7; July 25, "a.
On July 25 the thermometer was at or
over 80 from 11:30 a. m. to 5 p. m. On
July % it did not fall below 67.7, the
highest minimum of any nig~t in forty
three years. Accompanying the prolonged
heat has been great humidity. causing dis
comfort to the well-to-do while the dis
tress to the poor can better be imagined
than described.
In the city. where sun blinds are con-
sidered unnecessary, and ice a mere luxury.
there were the usual effects on mortality,
and especially that of infants, while the
outward signs have been striking. Sun
bonnets for horses have. for the first time,
become a familiar sight. Even the clerks
in city banks have gone to business in
straw hats and fannels, although a few
conservative old firms have insisted on
silk hats and black coats for their miser-
able employees
Members of Parliament have been in
shirt sleeves on the terrace Of the House
OF Commons and even the brilliant sug-
gestion that some firm start a house-to-
house delivery of ice was acted on. though
for one day only. when the ordinary open
carts sailed out with the sun beating on
the uncovered ice the result being more
efficient watering cart than is usually seen
in London.
Locomotion, except by hanson. has been
a purgatory and the underground railway
was asphyxiating. The omnibuses inside
are absolutely unventilated except by the
entrance, while on the outaide not single
one has an awning.
Even greater heat has prevailed on the
Continent, especially in Paris. where, in
addition to other evils, the scarcity OF
water has compelled the complete cutting
off OF the supply from II D. m. to 6 a. m.
The French authorities are adopts In con-
cealiEg unsanitary evils, shown in the
smallpox epidemic last winter. Now, de-
spite their assurances that the Seine is
unpolluted. it has become malodorous from
the sewer and offensive over practically the
whole Exposition. Sickness is rampant
throughout the city.
Relatives of an American gentleman who
died in a hospital were compelled to re-
Inove his body at O'Clock the next morn
ing the authorities declaring that there
had been twenty-three deaths, mostly from
cholera. OF that date in their hospital,
which is not a large one.
