A student once asked the French
alienist Esquirol IL there were any sure
tests by which to tell the sane from tina
insane. Please dine with me to-mor-
row at six o'clock" was the answer OF
the savant The student accepted the
Invitation, and found two other guests
present, one OF whom was elegantly
dressed and apparently highly educated,
while the other was rather uncouth,
noisy, and extremely coneeited. After
dinner the pupil rose to take leave, and
as he shook hands with his teacher he
remarked: The problem is very SIM
pie after all: the quiet. well-dressed gen.

Mole and His Habits.

In burrowing his tunnels the mole
seems to swim through the earth rath-
er than to dig his way. Although much
of the earth is never removed from the
runs, but is beaten hard into the walls
and floor Of the tunnel. the creature finds
1t more expeditions In busy times to
clear the runs of loose earth. This he
does at point where the run comes To
the surface by pushing the earth before
him with his fat forehead and face.
Sometimes, where the earth binds easily.
he pushes out the mold IN solid round
plugs. showing the exact dimensions Of
the oriflce through which they have been
thrust. When the mole is hunting or
travelling underground he has no need
to throw up the earth This is SUISSE
