LEARNS CALIFORNIAN WAYS
Improvements to be Made at the
 Phoenix Insane Asylum.

Dr. w. II, Ward, superintendent of the Phoenix insane asylum who has just returned from 6 visit of the High land asylum near San Bernardino, Cal. and other institutions in the southern part of California, talked yesterday concerning the investigations of his trip. The doctors experience in treat ing cases of insanity in a public insti- tuition has been confined almost en- tirely to his connection with the Phoe- nix asylum, commencing about a year ago. and his trip to California was made largely for the purpose of fanfil- iarizing himself with the methods of operating with economy and the best results in an institution of the kind. He spoke Very highly of the Highlands asylum, which is one of the best equip ped and regulated asylums in the country. The superintendent is Dr. Campbell. who has been at the he ad of the institution since 1t was founded twelve years ago, and has established a remarkable percentage of cures in cases under his direction. The asylum, located about ten miles from San Ser nardino, in a magnificent climate, is surrounded by the most inviting and beautiful environments, and all the

conditions are calculated to entertain and please tho patients and divert
 their minds from their delusions.
 Dr. Ward also visited the Whittier
 reform school at Whittier, Cal, which
 he says Is one of the finest and most
 successful institutions of the state and a credit to California. He was present at the laying of the cornerstone of the first building of the reform school at Whittier in 1894, and was surprised to witness the magnitude of the institu- tion at present and the phenomenal growth of the town of Whittier an ag- ricu!tural Quaker settlement Appro- prlations amounting to more than g, 000, GOO have been made in construct ing the various building of the reform a;ory and making improvements.
 The last legislative assembly of this territory made an appropriation of SIS, 900 for improvements at the Phoenix insane asylum. The money will be available next fall According to Dr. Ward, Arizona has appropriated less money for improving and equipping its asylum for the insane, in proportion to its population, than any state or territory in the country. Concerning methods of treatment at the asylum, he said:
 "The percentage of cures of insanity has improved very much in the last ten years all over the world. The medical world now better unde erstands the tr5 atment of cases that are cur able. An attempt is first made to i'm prove the physical condition of the patient, and the mental con- ditiOn is likely to improve. To ascertain the delusion of an in- sane person Is one of the first things that is done and an effort is then made. of course, to correct the de!usicn. This Is done by diverting his thoughts by games, music. dancing and in many other ways"
 Among the nprov5 ments to be made at the asylum this ysar will be the re- modelling of the electric light plant and laundry rooms. A new barn will be constructed and the manner of exit from the building will be chang to create more safety for patients in case of fire.

Pleased with the Hour.

Lieut.. Heffernan was saying the
other day that he had hardly ever
seen an Irishman who wasn't ready
with a quick retort, no matter what
the circumstances might be.
ct was about three years ago that
I arrested certain fellow. He was.
about the drunkest man I ever saw
to be still standing on his feet. AS.
soon as I got hold of him he wanted
to make trouble. He was just like
many others from the ould sod when
they get full of bad booze and they
think there is chance for scrap.
He made pass at me, but 1 reached
over and tapped him once on the
head with my stick. He became quiet
right away, and he looked up at me
and said:
"'And what tonne is it?'
"Of course ] couldn't help but an

TEE WANDERING SHADE.
He Airsly Invades u Football Field
Meets with a Mental Shock and
Forsooth Would Fade Away.

And suddenly passed by an inclo-
sure wherein were great multitude
seated upon an amphitheater, watch
ing some event which was transpiring
out upon "a field all marked with white
bars.
"Aha!" thought I. "Ths remindeth
me of the lists! may perchance hap
pen upon some veyy pretty sword play
here!''
l clambered to good Tantage point
and observed the scene with much in
terest. Out upon the field were two
bands of knights in quilted armor and
with hair long and full of burrs. Also
they wore strange devices upon their
noses-the meaning of which l visit
not.
80 FRIEND" said to bystander,
"canst tell me the name of yon con-
trivance which sticlleth upon the
noses of the contending knights even
as a court plaster?'
eco to-" said the stranger. CHOSE
are nose protectors"
"Gramercy, good sir!" quoth I, "but
why protect the nose and allow the
rest of the body to be put upon the
bum? Is the nose, then, the most
cherished possession of the people of
this peculiar age?''
Just then our attention was attract
ed by a great tumult. One line OF
knights ran toward the other line,
carrying a ball the size of a mans
head. There was n crash, a cloud of
dust, wondrous commingling OF
writhing legs and arms, and then the
whole company of knights painfully
untangled and came forth again. Some
lay motionless upon the ground. while
others limped away to die. And ur
in the amphitheater many youths with
canes and gaudy ribbons arose and
opened their mouths widely and stared
and bawled raucously:
''Smacketty- whack!
ker-whack! Ker-whack
Set i'm down hard on a Jagged big tack!
Or thus it sounded to mine ears.
1 could not withstand the excite.
of Agincourt. I drew my blade ane
rushed between the contendine
knights and Numbered:
what no! Gadzooks and have al
thee! Sheath! S'blood! .-,.--"
Alas! There was rusn---a shock
and l found myself lying upon the
ground in suffocating dust with 2:
lusty knights piled above my ghostly
frame. So overcome was that wa:
compelled to fade away into thin all
and slowly ooze out of the mass. Yea
verify, twas the only way could es
cape.
But the knights of the present figh1
not as in the days of old.
And in the language of this peculiar
people, II pass it up"

when the territory of Michigan had a
population of 1000.
In small argument with gentle
man well posted on Catholic questions,
I was somewhat surprised to learn
that cardinal is not an officer of the

to say that cardinal does not have to
be either bishop or priest, and that

The hardest thing to do in France is
to get married, says the New York

Yet the French nation affects to en-
courage matrimony, as remedy for
its depleted population.
Study the following case, however, of
Frenchman who is still a bachelor
and consider whether you would pre-
fer conducting your romantic affairs
in that OR some other country.
This is, the case of workman, aged
80, who wanted to marry woman,
aged 25, who was divorced and an or
phan. Armed with every document
bearing on his identity he could think
of, the workman repaired to the town
hall of his district. His certificate of
birth was pounced upon at once by a
clerk. 1t was out of date, recent law
requiring that all such documents to
be valid must have been delivered with
in the previous three months,
To obtain fresh certificate the
workman had to write to the village
where he was born. The delay was
fatal. While he was waiting for re,
ply his parents unexpectedly came in
for little money and in their altered
circumstances their prospective daugh
ter-in-law ceased to find favor in theil
eyes. In France, whatever ones age
one cannot marry without the consent
of parents until after the accomplish.
ment of certain formalities.
His family remaining obdurate the
workman only had them served at the
| appointed intervals with the prescribed
number of respectful notices" at the
cost of $13. The operation over he re
turned to the town hall, where the
clerk pointed out to him that he was
just week too late.
He possessed his soulin such patience
as he was able, did as he was bid and re
appeared before the registrar with hi:
batch of newly delivered and attestet
'papiers."
There he learned that he must pa,
$40 for different document. The sun
exceeded his means and he is still un
married.
