WHAT MONEY CANNOT BUY
The Song from a Jail Cell Which
Wrought Transformations
IL liens Lives.

The following touching incident, a re-
cent occurrence in western county
Jail. as related by keeper, is retold with
the hope that the good work begun that
night may go or and on.
Last evening. just before the lights
went out in all the rooms of the county
Jail, and while the prisoners on the
ground foor were gathered in the cor
Tidors telling coach stories, utterins
0aths and indulging in the low, vulgar
conversation so often heard amone
many who go to make UP the crowd in
the jail, the attention of the boisterou.
throng was suddenly arrested by the
sound of strong, sweet baritone voice
singing Something Money Cannot Buy.
which came from one of the rear cells.
IN q moment every sound was hushed
except the sweet voice of the vocalist
singing:
Gold hath It's powers, sages wifi saw
Riches In life hold a wonderful sway,
But there's power that halls from above
Richer and grander-power Of lovei
There strolls a noble money and land
Lives In mansion, costly and grand,
Yet he's unhappy, no one knows why
Love is power no money can buy
The voice quayered as the last lines
were sung. The sound of the sweet
music reached the Office of the turnkey
and softly the door leading to the cell

ALCOHOL AND INSANITY.
The Significant Report of DR.. Clous-
ton Of the Royal Edinburgh
Asylum.

During the last 80 years the recovery
rate had gone down, but the death rate
had increased; the deaths from recur-
rent disease had risen; senile insanity
was increasing; adolescent insanity had
also increased out of proportion to the
increase of population; general paraly-
sis was greatly increasing. from EOS to
431 per decade in the 80 years; alco-
holic insanity went steadily up. this
year In no less than 42.3 per cent. of all
the men and in Is per cent. OF the women.
much the largest proportion ever expe-
rienced. Excess in alcohol was ASSIGNED
as the cause of their insanity. In 1897
iHtGe pe.oedtage OF alcoholic cases was
only 1S.5 among the men and los among
the women admitted. That had now been
doubled. Dr. Clouston said It sometimes
occurred to him whether one of the
after-effects OF the nervous lowering
which the universal epidemic of influen-
"a OF 1890 undoubtedly caused might not
have set up the craving for the stimulus
OF alcohol with lessened power OF re-
sistance to its effects on the brain. Since
1890 far more of the depressed forms of
insanity had been sent In. Another er-
PLANTATION was that more money was
! probably earned by those who had not
sufficient self-control and self-respect to
use 1t rightly. 1t was a social scandal OF
a very alarming kind that nearly one
half OF the insanity OF any district should
be more or less due to drink. Finally.
DIT. Clouston urged the Importance OF A
rational view Of mental diseases. Q)
1t should be regarded simply as disease
OF the brain; (2) II may be mere arrest
ment OF brain growth IN early life; (3l
1t might be an event in the natural pro-
cess OF decay and retroeression; az Il
may be merely the effect of poisons; (5)
some brains were from the first sensi-
tive and unstable; (6) heredity; Cd any
one may become unsound In mind Of GER
tain causes come into operation.
