more than one or two boys who could
successfully regain their equilibrium
after taking the position shown; but at
least two girls in every three can do it
quite readily. Measure back three of
your own feet from the wall of room and
place chair between you and the wall;
then bend over the chair until your head
rests against the wall. Now raise the
chair and attempt, without moving your
feet or touching the chair to the floor or
wall, to regain your upright position. Any
boy, unless he differs materially from the
rest of his sex, will find that the thing
simply can't be done. l suppose the

walk rapidly towards the chair, his right

passes the chair he will attempt to snap
off cork balanced on the back of the
chair. Nine people out of ten will snap at
least an inch to high. The way to sue

close enough to the chair to make a
mental note of the exact button, wrinkle

easy matter to hold your hand at just

CITIES MAKE LUNATICS.
Effect of Acute and LOng-Sustained
Activity on Mental Condition
Is DepIOrabIe.

London alone is responsible for the
manufacture of 70 lunatics week, and
no limit can be placed to the increase
of this number, stated the president of
the psychological medicine section of
the British medical congress in an adj
dress deploring the influence of the
large town on the mental condition of
Its inhabitants. The one saving cir
cumstance in the situation is the natural
law which DEGREES that town bred folk
become sterile after three or four gen.
erations of town life.
So complicated is the environment of
those who live in the great towns, so
many and so varied are the calls upon
their self-control and upon their effort
making powers, that their mental ma
chinery is apt to become more complex,
its parts require nicer construction and
adjustment, and the whole machine is
more apt to get out Of gear and to suf-
fer arrangement than, in the more
primitive and less emotional life of
even half a century ago. 1t is not over
work that is the determining cause of
the disturbance of mental equilibrium,
but carking care, worry and anxiety.
To the rich insanity is brought by in
diligence in sensuous luxuries.N To the
poor, who are at the mercy of every
economic crisis. whose financial circum-
stances spell indifferent nutrition, over
crowding, and immoral surroundings,
the conditions of modern life bring de-
preston and despair. The natural re-
suit is that they attempt to drown their
sorrows in the flowing bowl. Alcohol
is the cause of one-fifth of the insanity
in males and of more than half of that
in the weaker sex.
What is, then. the best remedy for the
baneful and unnatural tension of the
nervous system incurred as the newt
able price of the advantages of living in
towns? How is the mind of man to be
adjusted to his progressively compli-
Gated environment? These are ques-
tons which the medical fraternity has
yet to solve.

the difficulty. At length the manufac-
most practicable"
Mr.. Hatton had one mouse that ran

but he proved that an ordinary mouse
could run ten and one-half miles. on
an average. A halfpennys worth of
oatmeal was sufficient for it's support
for 35 days, during which time it ran
1856 half miles. He had actually two
mice constantly employed in the max
ing of sewing thread for more than
year. The mouse thread mill was so
constructed that the common house
mouse was enabled to make atone
ment to society for past offenses by
twisting, twining and Keeling from 100
to 120 threads a day, Sundays not ex-
cepted.
70 perform this task the little pedes-
trian had to run ten and one-half miles
and this Journey it performed with
ease every day. A halfpenny's worth
Of oatmeal served one of these
thread mill culprits for the long period
of five weeks in that time it had
made $3.50 threads Of rs inches. and,
as penny was paid to women for ev-
cry hank made in the ordinary way,
the mouse, at that rate, earned pence
every six week, Just one farthing a
day, or seven shillings and six pence
a year. Taking six pence off for board
and allowing one shilling for machin-
cry, there was a clear yearly profit
from each mouse Of six shillings.
Mr.. Hatton firmly intended to apply
for the loan of an old empty cathedral
in Dunfermline, which would have

sufficient room being left for keepers
and some hundreds of spectators.

friends deep chagrin pass under the
stick quite easily. This is also an excel
lent way to practice the bend back which
is so essential to any kind of tumbling.

seemed to me that even professional

dislocating every joint in his body. The
feat, however, is not really difficult fol-
a boy who is at all supple. Grasp the
stick firmly, leaving two and half oil
three feet space between the hands. You
can easily judge of the distance best
suited to you after the first trial. Sill
your left foot over the stick, put yoU
head under your right arm and then the
test will come. If your back and Shout
ders are flexible they will allow you to
carry the stick on around and to finally
draw your right leg over without letting

And sing an unheard melody;

Like muffied footsteps of the day,
And sleep from his eternal ways
Has come to earth that mystery deep
With its monopoly on heaven,
Its alchemy-age changed to youth
And dreams, the echo of Gods feet,
Float through the open doors of sleep;
When the heart sings that knew no song
HUNS in its broken sleep a bar
