Built by Lunatics.

To find a land where lunatics are sue
builders Of railways, one needs to travel
no further than to willard, in Seneca
county. In the Willard State Hospital
.or the insane the inmates make their
own clothing and shoes. manufacture
brooms and tinware and perform much
Of the ordinary labor Of the institution.
they work the farm OF 1900 acres which
is connected With the institution, and
raise all the food necessary for the hum
dreds Of patients here besides putting up
enough canned fruit to supply all the
ether state insane asylums. But the
greatest work performed by the patients
at Willard was the building Of the rail-
road which connects 1t with the Lehigh
Valley road, six miles distant. Nearly all
the actual work of building this railway
was done by the lunatics, and done we'll.
This idea of giving to the inmates Of the
institution steady work, and as much of
it as possible out Of doors, has had a BEN
eflcial effect upon them.
="
In the Pennsylvania hospital for the
insane the inmates do some creditable
work in modelling clay, producing pottery
and busts of really good workmanship
and artistic design. In Great Britain
and some other European countries
system of reasonable work for the in
mates of insane asylums has been in
troduced with excellent results. The first
institution of insanity as a disease was
established in this country through the
efforts of Benjamin Franklin in 1851.
England had no such institution until
forty-oe years later Frace followed for
ty-three years later. Great changes have
been made in the treatment of the in
sane in the last fifty years. Half q GEN.
fury ago forty per cent Of the patients
were under physical treatment. Now.
it is said, that there are only about per
cent SO restrained.-New York Herald.

WISDOM,

A very hot iron should never be used
for 1annels or woolens.
Calicoes, ginghams and chintzes
should be ironed on the wrong side.
Clotheslines are made much more
durable by boiling for ten minutes be-
fore they are used.
Table linen should be ironed when
quite damp and ironed with a very hot
and very heavy iron.
Irons should not be allowed to be-
come redhot. as they will never retain
the heat properly afterward.
Embroideries should be ironed on q
thin, smooth surface over thick flannel
and only on the wrong side.
Linen may be made beautifully white
by the use of a little refined borax In
the water instead Of using a washing
fluid.
Wash fabrics that are inclined to
fade should be soaked and rinsed in
very salt water, to set the color, before
washing in the suds.
Silken fabrics, especially white silk
handkerchiefs, should not be damp
ened, but ironed with a moderat ely
warm iron when taken from the line.

His Teat.

A dealer In pictures who makes It his
business to find as many new painters
as possible, both in this country and
abroad, was asked In regard to bis
methods of selecting pictures to buy
He was very frank in his talk, and one
thing which he said lie shrewd enough
to be worth quoting.
"Of course" he said, with my expe-
rience l am able to Judge whether
there Is promise in a painters work,
but l never buy with any idea Of Put
ting the painter on my list until l have
seen the man and talked with him ny.
self. ! always watch him closely, and
l never buy his pictures unless his eye
lights up when I talk to him about his
work and about his profession"
The artist whose heart was really in
his work could not. discuss it without
kindling, and the man who did not
paint from the heart was not the one
whose pictures the dealer wanted.

Thomas A. Scott Used to aenoAs
Them without Gloves.
"When that wonderful railroad gen
ius, the late Thomas A. Scott, was
building up the Pennsylvania system,
the work he did was superhuman, the
results he accomplished Marvellous"
said an old railroad man. "Scott was
essentially a man Of action. For ex-
ample, at one time there occurred on
the line a freight wreck that piled up
scores of cars In a confused heap IN a
cutting, thus completely barring the
main line.
1.-THE local authorities were beside
themselves, for they could not figure
out how the wreck could be cleared
away and the line %reopened in less than
two weeks. At this juncture Scot a.
rived on the scene and after a survey
of the wreck sent for a great quantity
of coal oil, with which he had the pile
thoroughly drenched. 1t was then
touched off, and the god of fire soon
removed all trace of it, and traffic was
resumed on the line in "a hours.
"A bridge fell, and it was feared a
long delay must ensue, but Scott put
more than 1000 men to work Oh that
one structure and thus eliminated the
question of delay. Those were the
days when such things counted n
were not only possible, but necessary.
Today r%ailroading Is reduced to such a
fine point that the need for them no
longer exists. The roads are too safe
guarded for that.
1.-THE last instance l remember of
such railroad work as that was at the
Johnstown food in 1889, l think it was.
Frank Thomson, by great work II
the use of side lines, was one OF the
first to arrive upon the scene. Once
there, he took full control, the division
superintendents from all owe the line
were summoned. and a particular task
was given to each one to do instantly.
They one and all responded as best
they could to the spur, and the line
was reopened with incredible swift
ness. There were one or TIVE failures.
however, and those men. while they
were kept on as superintendent Of I'M
important mountain divisions, were
never again promoted."-New York

1t is with a sense OF shame that the
people Of Vermont should look at thai
recent d%isgraceful affair in the beauti-
full village Of Brandon where a large
portion of the inhabitants are alleged
to have lent their presence and en-
c0uragement to a movement Ia
which was intended as a menance
to freedom Of thought and to all
honest criticism Of matters Of publ
Importance. 1t is q nat er Of
everlasting shame to the village of
Brandon that the outside world should
come to believe that it's people are o.
such narrow minds as to resent an ex
preston Of opinion through the press
because it happens to be at variance
with their own ideas. The hanging
in ettigy of the editor of the Brandon
Union was a matter that has a deeper
meaning and is far more important in
its significance than the perpetrators
probably had any idea Of. The pre-
servation Of the sacred principles OF
liberty which constitute the founda
tion of the government of The
people oepends largely upon the free
dom Of the press through the
medium Of which the transactions
of public Importance are laid before
them. In this way and in no
other do they find it possible to form
conclusions and vote intelligently up.

ment to them. 1t is impossible for a
newspaper to suit every one in its
editorial opinions, but it is certainl!

withstanding the opposition that may
be created thereby. If those offended
persons at Brandon considered that
the editor Of the Union was on the
wrong side Of the question why did
they not compose a communication
with their own statement. He would
have given it publication. The action
they did take denotes weakness, big
otry and disregard Of that freedom
which is the boast Of all true Ameri.
