MINISTER NOT TO BE BLUFFED.
Personal Comfort Dlsregarded i

The Rev. N. Boynton was raising
the debt from the little church at
Georgetown, Me-, one summer, ten or
twelve years ago. He asked each
member to give 81. Most Of the bro
theirs and sisters were willing to give
the amount, but one old farmer was
loath to part with his mite. Meeting
him one morning On the wharf, the
minister asked him again for the dol

Jump into the water and you get
it." was the reply.
Without word, and much to the
surprise of the farmer, the reverend
gentleman plunged into the water and
when he scrambled up on to the
wharf the dollar was handed to him,
amid the laughter Of the lookers-on.

Appleton, Wis, April 2.-As result

Whether or not any mystery surrounds

Washington. ID. c.. Aug, 11.-Thc
report which has just appeared from
the Census Bureau dealing with insan-
ity and feeble-mindedness gives some
interesting but rather startling figures
on the growth of the number of insane
persons in this country in the last -
years. The number of insane hOspi-
tails increased from 81 per 100000
persons in 1850 to 1S6 in 1905-a su1li-
cient indication, We're any wanting, of
the strain which Americans Of the
present day put on their brains. Dur
ing the single year of 1904 more than
$4,000 insane persons were admitted
to hospitals; how many there may
have been who were unable to secure
treatment the report does not state.
Foreigners contribute largely to the
insane class; negroes hardly at all.
and while there is a stronger tendency
to insanity among men than among
women, the latter, when they do be
come insane, live longer While it
might be expected that insanity would
be found chiefly among professional
men and brain workers, the reverse
is true, for labOrers and servants are
in the majority. Insanity is evidently
a disease of age, and feeble minded
ness of youth. for while the hospitals
contain no insane under II years of
age, SO per cent of the feeble minded
are under twenty, and s. per cent I'M
der thirty.

The Pennsylvania has adopted a
new first aid packet which will be
placed on all trains, both passenger
and freight in all signal towers, block
stations and in all the shops and de
pots. Heretofore, there has been no
standard size but several different
kinds, at different points over the
system and as a result the trainmen
and others who had occasion to use
them, often found that the packet that
happened to be on their train or in
dent had happened was unfamiliar
10 them and they were hampered in
their work of giving aid TO the injured.
With the adoption Of a standard form,
this difficulty will be eliminated and
wherever trainman happens TO be on
the system he will be perfectly famil-
lar with the first aid packet, in case
he should have use for it.
The new packet is a small wooden
case about twelve inches high and
nine inches square at the base. It
contains three com partments. In the
lower one is a small wash basin, in
the second is a set of surgical instru-
ments and in the third are medicines.
The instruments and the medicines
are in tin cases and sealed air-tight
in order that they may be in con-
ditiOn of imme diate use without being
sterilized.
