LINCOLN ASYLUM CROWDED.
Hospital Has 14a Sufferers More Than
Capacity of Building.

MISUNDERSTANDING to the state
ment of DR.. J. L. Greene, superintend'
ent of the Lincoln hospital for the in
sane, the conditions of the patients in
that institution is deplorable in the
extreme.
There are 148 more patients in the
building than the space at the disposal
of DR.. Greene and his assistants will
accommodate. For a time, at least,
there will not be any relief by the re-
moval of the patients to the Norfolk
institution. DR.. Greene said:
"It's a good thing that all the pa
tents are not disposed to be seated at
the same time. We haven't enough
seats to go around. Because a greater
or less number are standing when not
asleep, those who want to be seated
are accommodated.
"Twenty-three women patients now
sleep on ticks and mattresses laid on
the floor for them in the day rooms.
They have no room for beds, and in
the company of attendants, who re-
main with them all night long, are as
comfortably camped and well cared
for as possible.
There is no other way" said DR..
Greene. "Such as they are, the floor
beds are very good. The patients do
not complain, but the condition is get
ting serious. If the Norfolk institution
is ready in a month it will give us
great relief by taking $50 patients.
That is it's capacity at present and we
a well spare the number. When the
proposed wing to the new institution
is completed, which may be in Janu-
airy, the number a be raised to 226.
For this we are grateful; we have not
been compelled to deny any cas-
Somehow we make room. The patients
now in large number eat from tables
set in the halls while some, including
the help on the premises, eat in the
kitchen, for lack of room"

TENT TREATMENT FOR
TUBERCULOSIS INSANE
Superintendent of Large Eastern Hospital Has
Demonstrated Its Efficiency

Even at the outset, however, the pro-
tests, whether from patients or their
friends, were surprisingly few, and
latterly they have been more apt to
arise, If at all, over the patients re-
turn to the buildings when that be-
came necessary.
The question of medication may in
the present writing be dismissed with
a very brief reference. 1t has been
found unnecessary to extend it great
ly, and it has been limited mainly to
the treatment of symptoms. Stimula-
tion-alcoholic and the like-has been
found of but little demand or use, and
the quantities consumed-always IN
der individual medical prescription
have been insignificant. On the other
hand, the dietary has been made as
liberal as the imposed restrictions of
the State Hospital schedule have per-
m1tted, both in the way of regular
diet and extras, and in the leading es-
sentials-milk and eggs-private do
nations have supplemented the regular
supply. But dependence, after all, has
been mainly placed upon the rigid
isolation and ~disinfectiop, and upon
the unlimited supply of fresh air. AS
an interesting incidental fact it may
be mentioned that not only the pa
tients, but also the nurses living in the
camp have enjoyed almost complete
immunity from other pulmonary dis
eases. Not a single case of pneumonia
has developed in the camp in it's ex-
1stence of owe three years, though it
causes 131 deaths in the hospital prop
er in that time. The common colds"
so frequent among their fellows living
upon the wards, or in the Attendants
Home, have been unknown among the
tent-dwellers.
The popular idea that the consump-
tive is a doomed man unless he can
at once abandon home and family and
business and betake himself to some
remote region would seem to be mega
tived by our Wards Island expert
ence. The Wards Island camp is but
a few feet above the tide-water level,
it's site is swept in winter by winds of
high velocity, coming over the ice
bound waters of the rivers and the
sound which surround it, and it suf-
fers as much as, or more than, any
other part of the city of New York
from the trying changes of tempera-
ture and humidity which are so char
acteristic of its climate. If, in spite
of all these drawbacks, what has been
done can be done, and that for insane
patients, what may not be hoped from
the extension of the same methods to
the ordinary consumptive of sound
mind, anxious for recovery and capa-
BILE of giving intelligent assistance in
the struggle?

Cream Barley Soup.-Wash a cup of
pearl barley, drain, and simmer slow
ly in two quarts of water for four or
five hours, adding boiling water from
time to time as needed. When the
barley is tender, strain off the liquor,
Of which there should be about three
pints; add to it a portion of the
cooked barley grains, salt, and a cup
Of whipped cream, and serve. If pre-
ferred, the beaten yolk of an egg may
be used instead of cream.
Savory Lentils.-Take equal parts
Of cooked brown lentils that have
been rubbed through a colander to
remove the skins, and bread crumbs.
Moisten with q little cream, season
with salt and a very little powdered
sage, pour into a baking dish, and
bake in a moderate over until we'll
Drowned. A meal prepared by rub
bing chopped English walnut meats
through a colander, added to the sa-
worry lentils in the proportion of one
cup of nut meal to a pint of lentils,
just before putting into the oven to
brown, makes a very palatable dish.
When the nut meal is used, water
may be used to moisten the lentils.
When done, slice and serve with the
following:
Cream Tomato Sauce.-Rub stewed
or canned tomatoes through a colan-
der to remove all seeds and frag-
ments. Heat to boiling and thicken
with a little flour. Add a half cup
of very thin cream and one teaspoon
full of salt to each pint of the liquid.
Lettuce With Nut Butter Dressing.
Prepare the lettuce as for salad.
Rub two slightly rounded tablespoon
fuls of nut butter smooth with two
thirds of a cup of water. Let this
cream boil up for a moment. Remove
from the stove, add one-half teaspoon
full of salt and two tablespoonful of
lemon juice. Cool, and it is ready for
use. If too thick, it may be thinned
with a little lemon juice or water.
More lemon juice may be added if de.
sired. Pour over the lettuce, and
serve.

Farmers, Protective Association.

AUBURN-Farmers in the vicinity
of Peru and Brownville have decided
to form a farmers protective associa
ton as a means of Kidding the neigh.
borhood of petty thievery and horse
thieves. For some time past the farm
ers of this particular locality have
been greatly annoyed by frequent rob
berries and several horses have been
stolen. The bluff regions along the
Missouri river affords protection tc
the guilty parties and pursuit is al
most impossible, owing to the ease Of
crossing the river.

BEATRICE-A pair of well dressed
and smooth swindlers visited Blakely
township the other day, representing
that they were soliciting pupils for
music lessons, and that the music,
books, etc., were to come from Dal
las, Tex. They explained the necessity
for collecting tuition in advance, and
in this way succeeded in getting s35
each from two residents of the town
ship. They tried others in the same
neighborhood on this plea, but their
scheme wouldn't work, so they took
their departure presumably for other
fields.

HOW IRON PIGS ARE CAST. Several Methods Now In Use for Mold
 ing Masses of Metal.

From the Technical World Magazine.
 The process of molding these valuable masses of metal is told by c. P. Black iston in his Story of the Iron Industry" as follows:
 Formerly there was but one method of casting pig iron. but, due to the rapid ad- vancements of the uses to which this ma terial is adapted, several methods are now employed. The ultimate results of these methods are of a physical rather than chemical nature. In any case. however, the iron is first tapped through an open ing near the bottom of the furnace. at periods of four hours duration. Leading from this opening is a long channel in the sand. through which flows the white glttering iron.
 If it is to be cast in the form of sand pig, the metal runs into a long channel in the sand. with smaller ones running at right angles to both sides. These are called sows. Following from the sows the iron is fed into smaller molds about three feet long and four inches wide. When solidifed. these pigs, as they are termed. are broken from the sows and loaded into cars, ready for shipment
