Sandy Got Through.

From TitBit
Old Sandy c., who used to collect the
mining royalties for the Duke Of Hamilton,
was a bit Of wag. One day Sandy was
late for his train for Bo'ness, and the only
way he could catch his connection was by
walking across the line. A certain gentle
man informed Sandy that 1t was useless
for him to attempt to cross by the railway.
as there was a Waterman stationed at the
camp bridge who would allow one to
pass over 1t.
What sort O. countryman is he?" in
quired Sandy.
IAN Irishman," was the immediate re-
joinder.
WELL responded Sandy. 'if he is an
Irishman I'll get over and straight away
he went.
Coming up to the bridge, Sandy espied
the Irishman coming out to stop him, but
before Pat had got time to breathe Sandy,
gasped out, II beg your pardon. sir. see
you're man Of authority, and have just
to throw myself on your tender mercies?
"Jabers go on" returned Pat, without q
moments hesitation.
Had the Waterman. Sandy used to say,
been a Scotchman he would have had to
fight him, and had he been an English
man he would have had to debate the ques-
ton.

imprisoned in this wheel and left there until
1t stopped revolving, which fact was ac-
cepted as indication that the mania had
worked itself out

A few good jokes. some may be new,
Some music sweet and rag time, too.
Good songs for chorus singing.
Some handsome boys with voices sweet.
And pretty girls with ankles neat,
To support the prfma donna.

You'll ind In comic opera.
Some ancient puns, lot Of rot,
We quite forgot we had no plot,
But that's not necessary;
One good fellow. the leading man,

For that Is customary.
Sprinkle some nonsense here and there.
Marches fine and simple air,
As music for the orchestra.
A few good songs intcrpolate,
And then twill be quite up to date.
And there's your comic opera.

That people who should have good sense,

For such stuff VIII pay money.

Metal Helmets and Masks.


Still more brutal were the iron masks
that We're used as late as 1867. Some of
these were unearthed recently from the
cellar of the insane asylum in Andernach.
Germany, and preserved by the present di-
rector of the institution. Two of them look
exactly like the wire fencers' masks worn
when using the foils. The third is far more
massive, and made entirely of extremely
heavy sheet tin. The latter mask has two
holes pierced for the eyes and one tiny
aperture for the mouth. To give the wearer
air there are a few very small holes in the
top of the helmet.
These appliances were used for patients
that had the habit of biting or splitting. The
offenders had to wear them constantly. The
wire masks We're taken off only at meal
times. and then clapped right on again. The
still more violent patients who had to wear
the tin helmet often Were not relieved OF it,
even to eat, but were fed through the
hole that served for a mouthpiece. The
front of this gruesome head covering was
so arranged that it could be opened like
visor.
The old times of frank, unreasoning hru-
tafty, when lunaticS were treated as des-
picable and hateful things, had passed
away long before it struck any one that the
use of these helmets and similar instru-
ments was vicious and harmful. 1t was
regular part of the eatment of the in
sane until 1867, when a royal decree for
babe it.
Dr. Johannes Bresler, in a recent review
the primitive and cruel methods used
well into the nineteenth century, remarks
that his study of the appliances used in
insane asylums in the last generation has
convinced him that they all date back di-
rectly OF the fortunes used in the prisons of
the period when the insane person was con-
fined as a matter of course with criminals
and punished for being demented just as
the criminals were punished for being wick
ed. The implements of punishment We're
adopted apparently Il matter of course
when the lunatics were transferred to asy-
lumS.

and violent were thrown into cells that were
entirely dark, and If that did not quell them
they were put under cold shower baths and
douches until they were exhausted.
Chains and cold douches and dark cells
were used until near the middle Of the last
century, and 1t was as late as 1868 before
the violent insane were removed regularly
to asylums that were really adapted for the
purpose according to modern ideas.
The mechanical" Treatment.
This Vienna fool tower, even in its worst
days, was haven Of rest compared with
many Of the other prisons for lunatics that
still existed then in Europe; and the Vienna
treatment Of the lunatic was enlightened
compared with the ideas Of such eminent
and well disposed men as Professors IGeIer
and Horn of Berlin, who wrote learned
treatises in which they argued for the USE
full and beneflcent physiological and sycho-
logical effects Of instruments of duress.
They had such faith in the mechanical
treatment that their favorite implement
was frightful thing known by the appro-
pirate and frightful name Of the English
coffin" This coffin was one in fact. II was

was forced. Then the lid was fastened

FAMOUS FOOL TOWER
A Vienna Monument Soon to
Be Torn Down.
HORRORS OF ITS CELLS
MEN STILL LIVING WHO REMEM-
Der ITS TERRORS.
One of the Few Remaining Evidences
of Bygone Cruelty to the
Insane.

Written for The Evening Star by Martin LIE Roy.
Vienna's famous fool tower is to be
RACED. That means the removal of one Of
the last remaining monuments to the cruel
and ignorant treatment of the insane that
obtained in Europe even as late as the be-
ginning of the last century. There are
many Viennese living today who can re-
member hearing the terrible shrieks ard
yells Issuing from this fool tower. There
are physicians living who remember the
time when, in that great building, men and
women lay chained hand and foot, with
none to go near them. These physicians Of
today remember discussions as to the utii
ty of various instruments of torture, such
as the English coffin and the fools
Wheel
Yet the Vienna fool tower was built by
an enlightened and exceptionally kindly
monarch, Joseph H. whose love of mankind
guided all his life. It's construction and the
treatment given to its inmates, barbaric as
they seem now, were triumphs of philan
thropy at the time.
When it was built in 1888 the insane were
treated is worse than criminals. They were
kept in cells in prisons and avoided by all
as If they had loathsome, contagious dis
eases.
Emperor Joseph went as far as medical
science enabled him to go at the time.
There was no thought in the mind of any
one in authority that insanity could be
cured or ameliorated. Thus, with all his
humanity, the emperor could not and did
not make Of his building anything different
from a prison for the insane.
Chained Like Beasts.
The immense tower that rises majesticaily
from the crown of hill commanding the
medical quarter of Vienna contains five
stories, each with twenty-eight tiny cells.
These cells are lighted sparsely with small
windows, scarcely greater than loop holes,
barred heavily.
Sometimes two lunatics or fools, as they
were called then, We're imprisoned in one
cell. Walls and floors are still studded with
rings and bolts to which these unfortunate
creatures were chained with enormous iron
letters.
Very quiet lunatics were taken for occa-
sional walks through the corridors, and
sometimes even in the garden paths. The
emperor often visited the tower to assure
himself that his regulations were being
observed faithfully. He had written them
out in his own hand, and the most minute
and trivial details had been provided for by
him.
But his efforts were without scientific
treated as dangerous and disgusting crea-
lures. The cells containing the violent ones
were not opened oftener than twice a
month, when powerful men would enter,
seize the prisoners and drag them out to
wash them. At this time the cells were
cleaned-the only times when that was
done. The feeding was done by means of
a tin utensil. triangular in shape the point
ed end of which was inserted in crevice
in the door of the cell. AS the food was
entirely liquod the prisoner was expected
to take the nourishment from this direct.
