Latent Lunacy.

When Lord Bacon lived it was easy
to believe that "all learning was his
forte" The world has grown since
then, while mans head has remained
about the same size. A little brain in
1900 might have held all the knowledge
of the world, but could the same little
brain in 1902 hold it all? Never.
Therefore, calmly reasoning, the brain
of to-day, attempting to know every
thing, is crowding the skull containing
it. Half a century ago steam boilers
could stand thirty pounds of pressure
without bursting. To-day they stand
ten times as much and are pronounced
safe. The boiler of to-day is better
than the boiler of 1852. Is the skull
of to-day better than the skull of 1900?
Nay, nay. The seams of, the skull of
to-day. under great pressure, do not
really open, but the swelling within
tends to solidify the cellular mass un-
til something gives way, causing what
We term insanity. All of us are on
the verge of insanity-all who have
Overcrowded the capacity Of the brain.
Hence all Of us are latent lunatics.-

WHEN MOSBY R A N

Col. John F. Mosby sent word TO
the remnant Of his old guerrilla band.
who recently held their annual re-
union at Leesburg, Va, that the pres
sure of public duty would prevent
him joining them. If Mosby's mem
ory remains active, the recent death
of Col. Tichener of the board Of gen
eral appraisers at New York must
have reminded him of an occasion
when the pressure of private--ex.
tremely private and personal-duty
caused his absence from a place
where he was very much wanted. He
has sometimes mentioned it, in these
later years, as the closest call" he
ever had in his life.
Tichener, who was a union officer
in the civil war, had been sent out
one night with a company in advance
of the army to skirmish and. estab-
lish picket lines. Before he had gone
very far he stumbled upon three men
on horseback and cried: Halt! Who
goes there?" Two Of the men

A well known business man was
standing at a street corner talking
with a friend the other afternoon,
when a seedy looking chap, with a
bloated couItenance and a whining
voice, approached and tackled the
business man for the loar OF a dollar.
The business man grufIly declined the
shabby chaps appeal and told him to
he on his way in a canter.
This rather puzzled the companion
of the business man, who knew that
the latter was of an extremely chari-
table and open-handed disposition
a man who rarely resisted the appeal
OF the conmonest street beggar and
who made it point never to turn
down an appeal for financial aid from
unfortunate friends of former days.

on the end of his cigar for a while

The contest between armor and guns
goes on necessarily. The latest move
in the game indicates the possibility of
armor coming out ahead. 1t is assert.
ed that one of our naval officers has
discovered a process by which plates
may be carbonized by powerful cur
rents of electricity so that their sur
face will be as hard as glass, and that
the carbonization may be made to
reach to any depth desired. 1t is also
claimed that the new process will re.
duce the weight Of plates and thus
lessen cost Of construction. If the
officer makes good his claims armor
will have the call, for it is inconceiva.

greatly increased without endangering

One AIisery Of Anulo-Indian Life.

Every night at dinner the Anglo-In.
dian holds a kind Of levee. The in
sects which attend dance gayly round
the lamp, and one has to watch ones
plate and glass carefully lest some of
the insects should dance INTO them
There is one insect a little. fat,
brown, shining creature-which emits
the worst odor in the world If one of
these touches your food the whole is
tainted and rendered inedible. You
dare not kill these pests, for If one be
squashed the whole room becomes
filed with its disgusting smell and is
uninhabitable for the next half hour
So these abominable pests fly about
with impunity while the poor Anglo
Indian must perforce look helplessly
on and inwardly sigh "Spero meliora."

One reason for the growth of the
English language is the coming of the
masses into English speaking lands.
POpulative increase is greatest in those
regions where the protection of English
law and the advantage of American
democracy have bidden migration. The
