A German shopleeper went one Sun
day morning to a customer in order to
demand the payment of long neglect
ed account. The police heard of this
and regarded it as a violation Of the
new law against trading during the
hours of worship. The offender was
cited and fined He appealed to the

innocent. What the law expressly for
lids said the kammergericht, is any
"public or open labor or trading within

Insanity's Debt to Medical Science

Insanity's Debt to Medical Science.
Insanity is now recognized as a dis
ease which is the result of some func-
tional or organic disturbance of the
brain or of some injury or malformation
of that organ. Be it said to the ever.
lasting credit of medical science that it
has rescued the whole subject of the dis
eases of the brain and nervous system
from the region of myth and superstition
and placed it on scientific plane along
with the other diseases and injuries to
which human flesh is heir.
The old lunatic asylums and the filthy
cells of the county jails with all their
horrors where the victims of dethrol1ed
reason used to be confined and tortured
have been abolished and in their place
we now have the modern hospital for
the insane, and it stands on the same
footing in every respect as hospital
for diseases of the eye and ear or any
other medical speciality. 1t was not the
churches, but medical science, inspired
by a desire to benefit mankind, which
taught the world that the insane are
our brothers still and that to them is
due the same Christian charity and care
as to any others in distress. DR. John
Girdner in North American Review

Prince Louis Esterhazy, military at
tache of the Austrian embassy at Lon

railway, when an elegantly dressed wo-
man entered the carriage. Presently she
dropped her handkerchief and employed
other expedients to start conversation,
but without avail, for the prince tran
gully smoked his cigar and took no no.

preached a station the woman suddenly
tore her hat from her head. disheveled

standstill put her head ont of the win
dow and shrieked for assistance.
The railroad officials hurried to the
scene, and to them the woman asserted
that she had been terribly insulted by
the prince. The prince did not stir from
his seat, but continued TRANQUILITY smok-
ing his cigar, and the station master
exclaimed, ''What have you got to say
to this charger"
Without the slightest appearance Of
concern the prince. who was seated in
the farther corner Of the carriage, re-
Piled "Only this" and with that he
pointed to his cigar, which showed g
beautiful gray ash considerably over an
inch in length.
The station master was wise in his
generation, and on perceiving the ash on
the princes cigar he touched his hat
and said quietly, "That's all right,
SIR" and arrested the woman instead.

Only Two Men Know <he Trick.

There is one expert in Philadelphia

alone in his specially He is James
Toughill, who has charge Of the piling
Of coin bags at the subtreasury. Not
only does he have charge of the piling
of the bags, but he does it all himself,
for there is a secret connected with this
work that is known to only one man in
the country besides the Philadelphia ex-
pert
1t does not seem at first glance to be
a very difficult task but those who have
tried it and failed can be counted by
hundreds, while the first man to do the
work properly without knowledge of
the secret having been impaired to him
is yet to be named. Not so many years
ago there was only one person in the
country who could do the work. Where
he obtained his exclusive knowledge no
one knows. On trip to Philadelphia he
met Toughill and the two became fast
friends As mark of his esteem the
original expert taught Toughill the art
of piling up money securely, and that is
as far as the knowledge has been ex
tended.
The work consists Of piling up bags
containing 1000 silver dollars each as
high as the vault will permit. When
built by the experts this silver wall is
as solid and substantial as if built of
bricks and mortar, and it is we'll this is

structed on wrong principles it would

friend who is in the west, occupy the

In spots, divans and circles. The col

be conspicuous at all.
1t is rather early yet for the fall hats,

about this head covering. 1t is safe to
say, however. that the smart hats viii!

Shoes display an evolution. The style
Is a very heavy shoe, with large. round
ed toe. Low shoes will be worn during
the autumn and on pleasant days dur
ing the winter, but many look upon
the low shoe as winter fad. The pat
ent leather shoes with kid tops will be
the formal footwear. Shoes will be
