Insanity in the City.

London alone is responsible for the
manufacture of seventy lunatics a
week, and no limit can be placed to
the increase of this number stated the
president of the psychological medi-
cine section of the British Medical
Congress in an address deploring the
influence OF the large town on the
mental condition Of its inhabitants.
The one saving circumstance in the
situation is the natural law which de-
crees that town bred folk become
sterile after three or four generations
of town life.
So complicated is the environment
of those who live in the great towns
so many and so varied are the calls

effort making powers, that their men

ago. 1t is not overwork that is the
determining cause of the disturbance
of mental equilibrium. but carking
care, worry. and anxiety.
To the rich insanity is brought by
Indulgence in sensuous luxuries. To
the poor. who are at the mercy OF
every economic crisis, whose financial
circumstances spell Indifferent nutri-
ton, overcrowding. and Immoral sur
roundings, the conditions of modern
life bring depression and despair. The
natural result 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 in
evitable price of the advantages OF

Unique Method by Which Indians
Secure Their Ponies.

1t has been discovered that the
desert Indians, who have never been
accredited with superabundant wit,
have for many years employed
method of tying their horses to holes
in the ground that is clever, unique
and effective says the Los Angeles
Herald.
The operation is performed in this
way: Keeping on the hot sands the
Indians dig with their hands, which
are about as hard and impervious to
pain as a dogs paws.
They work energetically until they
have made hole about two feet deep.
Then they tie an immense knot in the
end of the halter rope, lower it into
the bottom of the hole, fill the
hole with sand and then jump and
stamp upon 1t unit the earth over the
knot is about as hard as sandstone. 1t
is curious performance. but the skill
of the idea merits applause, for 1t may
be of practical benefit to many a
weary traveller whose horse Is his only
living companion in some heartless
plain. where he clings to his ship.
Instances have been related of de-
sert travellers. who, completely ex-
hausted by the heat, tied the halter
rope about leg. an arm or the body
and lay down in the hot sands to rest.
AS they slept the animals crazed for
water became like wild things and
plunged madly away. dragging their
human anchors to destruction and
death.

Love Making in Japan.

The Japanese, with their true art
istic feeling in all the affairs OF life.
excel in the art of writing love let
ters. Etiquette in Japan obliges peo-
pie to always speak scornfully OF
their own qualities and possessions,
and to enhance those of others. Thus
a Japanese lover finds it doubly easy
to praise his beloved and depreciate
himself, as is the way of lovers all
the world over. Here is good en-
ample of the Japanese love letter:
Beloved! Touching my forehead
in the dust before thy augustness.
entreat you to listen to my despicable
words Miserably l long for you, who
are set as far above me as is the red
eye of Fuji-San from the peasant in

Dinner at the Mableys was nova
BILE feast. Sometimes they had it at
O'Clock, sometimes at $50, and some
times not at all unless they went to
the restaurant around the corner and
had it there.
This irregularity in dining was not
due to an aversion on the part OF the
Mableys to methodical habits. On the
contrary they are the most systematic
people alive. and would have preferred
to dine promptly every evening at Z
O'Clock. For many years. however, the
accomplishment of that desire had
been prevented by the vagaries of
their long succession OF cooks One
evening when Mr.. Mabley came home
a. $50 and found that dinner had been
stone cold for more than an hour he
dismissed the present incumbent of
the kitchen, and early the next morn
ing went around to the employment
agency and hired new girl. That
girls name was Mary Barker. Mr..
Mabley talked to her kindly but firmly.
Mary" he said, I'VE will sign con-
tract for one month as trial term. I
will pay you the exorbitantly high
wages OF ~ week, and If, at the end
OF a month, you have furnished us
with three meals a day, well cooked
and properly served, will give you
present of $40 EXTRA
Then he wrote out a contract in
which 1t was specified that If, in one
single instance, Mary Barker failed to
have an appetizing dinner ready for
the Mableys to sit down to at p. m
she should be forthwith dismissed.
and Mary signed it in the presence of
witnesses.
For one week after the advent Of
Mary Barker the Mableys were hap
pier than for any corresponding period
in their housekeeping career. The
reason they did not continue to live
in such idyllic conditions was not the
fault of Mary Barker but of the man
ager of the firm where Mr.. Mabley was
employed.

BLACK HAWK WAR RECALLED.
Waterworks Reservoir on the Site Of
an Old Fort.

A Chicago Chronicle correspondent
at Bloomington. Illinois. says: The
building OF reservoir for the new
waterworks system as Elizabeth re-
calls an interesting incident of the
Blackhawk war. The reservoir Will
stand on the site of fort that Black
Hawk sought to capture on the after
noon Of August 2, 1892. In the fort
were twenty-five men, women and chill
dren, while the warrior was supported
by at least $50 braves.
Tradition states that it was the
heroic act of the women that enabled
the little band to hold out success
fully against apparently overwhelm-
Ing odds. Elizabeth Winters Elizabeth
Armstrong. Rebecca Hit and Eliza
beth Van Volkenburg were melting
lead into bullets when the supply of
lead became exhausted. Two of these
women. under cover of darkness. stole
from the fort and procured pig OF lead
from an outlying shed. This deed of
heroism proved successful and Black
Hawk was repulsod. the only loss OF
the inmates Of the fort being one man
who was killed.
