The Daily Press.

Sir James Crichton- Browne, the EN-.
lnent alienist. has just given the
newspaper press certificate as an
important safeguard of the general
sanity. 1T is the antidote to cor.
roding egotism and gives a worldwide
horizon to the the purblind and short
sighted" This in sense is true, nor
can it be disputed that the press also
furnishes an easily digestible intel
lectual pabulum." Sir James likewise
speaks with a specialists authority,
one must suppose, when he says that
many a man has been saved from
melancholy and faulty by his daily
papers," and concludes: suppress
your newspapers and you will have
to enlarge your lunatic asylums." We
would gladly accept for ourselves
and our colleagues a tribute primarily
intended for the British press. and
we certainly will not venture to chal'
lenge an expert on his own ground.
But before the newspaper cure Is
widely applied in our sanitariums. We
should be glad to have the opinion OF
local alienists on few specific points,
says the New York Post. Does. for
example, that peculiar institution. the
colored supplement, make for san
steadying effect for young girls to ven
tilate their blighted state and house
wives their MARTIAL grudges in COL
umns entitled aid for the Enamor-
ed" For the Unequally Yoked," ETC.?
Sir James seems to regard the press
as bulwark against depression mere
ly; but over-elation and hysteria are
also abnormal symptoms; and 1t Is
possible that yellow journalism con-
tributes just a little too much to the
febrile gayety of this nation.

Quail starved to death by thousands

February and March. From Massa'

900 have been captured in Alabama
and the southwest, where they still
occur in abundance, and have been
shipped north for breeding. Even
this supply is quite inadequate, and
may not last long. The quail, sa,.s

A notable TACT about tne vision OF
insects and one which it may be sup
posed must largely influence their
view Of the external world is the
number of facets or lenses in CON-
pound eyes. A German naturalist, K.
Linemann, has been painstaking
enough to count the number of facets
In the eyes Of no fewer than $50 spe'
cies OF beetle. He finds that in the
same species and sex the number
increases with the size of the body.
There is usually no permanent differ
ence between the sexes as to the
number of facets. Occasionally, how
ever, the difference is marked, as In
the case of lampyris splendidula, in
which the male has $500 and the fe'
male 300. One species. says the Phil
adelphia Record, is noted which has
tn. extraordinary number Of $4,000
facets in its eye. The number OF
facets is greater in the rapidly NOV
ing active forms than in the more
sluggish species.

Witnesses Testify to Discrimination
on Part Of Alleged Elevator Trust
and RaiIroad-Tell Stories Of FL
nanciaI Ruin-Flxing the Price Of
Grain.

Chicago.-"Milliona grain deal
ers in the elevator trust, aided by the
railroads, robbed me and now l am a
ruined man." declared an Interstate
commerce witness Tuesday.
The witness, A. T. Aygarn, of Ponti'
&C, Ill.,. while on the stand broke into
tears, and it was necessary to excuse
him from the stand.
He declared as he arose, tears
streaming from his eyes. his voice
broken by his grief, that he had been
ruined because he dared to deal with
the farmers and track shovelers and
quit the Illinois association.
He declared the discrimination
against him was doubtless by the re-
fusal Of railroads to give him cars.
The story of the death struggle be-
tween the farmer and organized com.
mission men in Iowa and Illinois was
told by J. E. Brennan and E. G. Dunn,
grain solicitors for Eschenberg &
Dalton, grain dealers of Chicago. This
firm has been boycotted and blacklist
ed because it purchased grain from
farmer elevator companies.
A letter was read from the secre'
tary of the Illinois Grain Dealers as
ISOLATION to Lowell, Holt & Co., warn
ing that concern to stop buying grain
from an irregular" firm, the Howard
Grain and Mercantile company.
H. H. Carr, of II. H. Carr & Co.,

dealers, was also a witness. He said
he had been ruined by the grain trust
and discrimination by the railroads.
