CoMPLExIoN AND INSANITY.

Several months ago IT happened across a pamphlet published by the government of Southern State in which were some interesting statistics regarding the complexion of the in- mates of the State Asylum" Hobart Langdon said: "Only per cent of the total light hair and only 2 per cent blue reyes.
 Tt struck me as rather curious fact that dark haired and dark eyed people should so largely predominate among the insane. but the matter of latitude might play some part in this, thought; for naturally there were more dark than light haired people in that section. Just as matter of curiosity, however, II thought I would write to asylum authorities in certain other parts of the |country to see what the ratio of light dark, and expected to find the percent Iage in communities where the light haired was larger but in this was mis- taken: so I am led to infer from the |statistics I gathered that there is a greater possibility for insanity among dark haired than among light haired people.
 My figures were obtained from 6S |asylums located in nearly every State in the Union and a few in Canada and England The total number of patients in these institutions was 16,512 of whom TOP had light hair and only 66 red or auburn locks. Iii other words, 96 per cent of the inmates were brunettes with either black or brown hair, the latter in varying shades. In one asylum in New England there was not a single inmate there not a brunette. Of course, I do not know how to account for this, for am not a specialist in such matters and only secured the statistics out of pure curiosity, but it certainly looks as though blondes were less liable to insanity than those with darker hair or eyes.
 Another peculiar feature about the facts obtained, however, was that the percentage of those regarded as in- curably insane was much greater among the blondes than among the brunettes. The total shows that among
 the dark haired inmates only 53 per |cent. were marked hopelessly insane while among the blondes S1 per cent were put in the category, and that on- ly three among the red haired patients escaped the same classif1cations. "-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

M1NcB PIE AS BRAIN FOOD.
Young Woman Says Men Eat it Cold
 With Ice Water.

Young Woman Says Men Eat it Cold,
 With Ice Water. A young woman who is in an office in which there are a number of men says that it is a constant surprise to her to see what these brain workers eat for luncheon. The firm she is with is one Iof those which was burned out, and so, as the lunch room which the clerks once lfrequented was burned also, these young fellows now patronize the basket which an itinerant colored man and his clean and pretty wife bring to the new quarters.
 The young woman says that one of Ithe most capable of the firms employees lunches thoughtfully off cold mince pie and ice water, while he sorts his mail. She says he complains of head ache ever and anon, but he never thinks of attributing it to his diet; instead he says he thinks he is getting what one |estimab1e old lady used to call "the la grippe"
 The other men, the girl says, are par Ftial to hot gingerbread, and when they can't get that they will take a cheese sandwich reluctantly. The colored man has can of hot coffee with him, but in this building it has no patrons, for clerks agree that shot coffee is bad for Ia fellow" even while they drink freely at the water cooler and nibble their pip ling hot gingerbread.
 T wouldn't have believed if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes said the girl Ito a friend. T always thought men Ilunched off a porterhouse beefsteak and Isweetbreads and macaroni and sensible things, and as ate my modest beef sandwich and drank my cup of choco- late I would picture to myself my friends of the opposite sex living on the fat of the land. If I had known about the cold mince pie and the hot ginger bread I wouldn't have been astonished that some of our men are thin and some are Respondent. Such diet is enough to give the strongest person the polly wobbles forevernore. And then they say women eat silly things!"- vile Sentinel.

APPLES AS MORAL AGENTS.
They Tend to Keep Their Consumers
 From Many Evil Practices.

They Tend to Keep Their Consumers
 From Many Evil Practices.
 Scarcely too much can the apple be extolled since it has been almost entire ly the creation of man. Starting with the crab apple of Europe, man has pro- duced fruit that has no comparison with it's original. Nature could only furnish the germinal, and is not given to making improvements. When Su- pertntendent Stimson, of the pomology department of the Worlds Fair, says: There is no doubt that apples are a cure for the drink habit, the tobacco habit, the Indian habit and many oth- CTS that may be called objectionable, y we appreciate deeply what the apple has done for man and still more deeply what man has done for the apple. Pro- lessor Etimson adds: Apples elevate the morals of persons who eat them, and if the United States were greater apple eating country we should have less crime and fewer woes When you want to smoke eat an apple, and you will find the desire in measure satis- fled. Do the same if you want drink. D u VIII DC SCCll llAeib tliV d f4a- io Illc enemy of the saloon and of the vice of smoking. The moral effect of apples has been too much neglected. We have tried to reform entirely with the gos- pels and moral suasion. Had we gone into the haunts and hotbeds of vice and crime with an apple in one hand and the Bible in the other, we might have had better success,
 Mr. Stimson says that apples are good for the 'Indian" habit. This is some thing that has never been tried in all the efforts to reform St. Louis politics. The Indians have not apples enough. Bar'ls have been opened in plenty, but not apple bar'ls. Clayton conventions would be impossible on diet of apples. Hereafter the sturdy farmer should go to his convention with dozen apples in one pocket-and a well-oiled A in the other.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

 Declares that None of the 'sNoveI De-

 Discount for Cash.
 South Norwalk, May 1S.-D. Preston Atwood, the Bridgeport man, through his attorneys, Phelan. Toomey & Phe- Ian, has made proposition by letter to settle the suits against the various ex- ecutors and administrators whom he has sued before the cases come up in court. He desires $50 from each party interested. and the letter in full fol- lows:
 Bridgeport. Conn.,, May r, 1904 "Mr. Albert E. Winchester, South Nor
 walk. Conn.,:
 Dear sir: In the suit which he re- gently instituted against you for your failure to file inventory by law, it is MT. Atwood's present intention to re- turn the writ to court on May 2S, 1904. Ae-er the return of said writ to court the costs against you will be increased srom IS to 30 dollars over the amount already incurred. thus making the total for which you will be held liable about three hundred dollars in addition to your attorneys fees in case of a con- | test. MT. Atwood has not the slightest fear of the final outcome in the event 1 of your contesting the suit as every conceivable defense, including all the so-called novel defenses' recently pub llished in the newspapers have been passed on by the highest courts of this and other states, and in every instance have been decided in support of MT. At woods position, and in cases exactly similar to yours the courts have uni- formly decided in his favor Realizing however. that a contest on your part means some expense to him for attor- Ineys to prosecute the suit, as well as ! to yourself in defending the same, and believing it to be good business judg- ment to allow you as a discount in set clement. sum equal to what would pay his attorneys for prosecuting the suit to the court of last resort, he has authorized us to make the following proposition to you, viz: If you will file an inventory of the estate with which you have been entrusted, and send us as MT. Atwood's attorneys, one hundred and fifty dollars before May 28th 19O4 MT Atwood will withdraw his suit against you. Remember, this must be done before May 18th, and we would impress firmly on your mind that this will be the only proposition for settle ment you will receive except to pay the fun penalty and costs. Awaiting your pleasure, we are,
 Respectfully yours,

 Attorneys for D. Preston Atwood.'
