demolished in less than an hour.
The contractor In charge of the work
was George Duckenfeld, and he esti-

1T used to be the bathing suit
That raised the preachers ire;
Likewise Dame Fashions evening
gown.
Which ought to "come up higher"
But they've retired to the rear,
Have made their adieu bow
It's the perforated shirtwaist
That is in the limelight now.
The airy maiden trips along
The sunny avenue;
A ha1f-a-glance discloses that
Her waist is airy. too.
For through the yards of overlace
Too plainly to deceive,
There shines the neverwear-out dress
Worn by old Mother Eve.
The preachers eyes take in the sight
And then he thinks. I'm sure
That gentle folk will all agree
There's too much aperture"
And from his pulpit Sunday morn
He speaks a firm skidoo
To that bewitchcing dainty thing,
The naughty peek-a-boo. H. @.

sirable in itself, but, from strictly
scientific point Of view, impossible.
For a perfectly person--were
such thing thinkable-would be dull
and uninteresting, a mediocrity. q
nonentity The point to seize. how-
ever, as DR.. Savage impresses upon us,
is that there can be no comprehensive
idea or definition of insanity, because
the thing does not really exist. No
scientist can set up any standard of
nationality departure from which
would comprise or denote insanity
One can diagnose a case of typhoid,
because it is continued fever, charac-
temperature. by marked abdominal
symptoms, by an eruption upon the
skin. But there is nothing in what
goes by the name of insanity to
further diagnose as that term is under
stood by medical men generally. Some
treatises upon insanity prove nothing
at all by proving too much, for they
make whole nations insane at once.
Physicians connected with insanity, as
DR.. Savage argues, resemble gardeners
rather than botanists. 1--WE classify
for convenience. rather than upon a
scientific basis, because, in point or
fact, no such basis or f1nality of mind
has as yet been discovered"
Perhaps, adds DR.. Savage, there is
no need to wonder at this, since nGny
have to be treated as lunatics whose
brains and nervous systems show no
change whatever from the normal
course of what is recognized as sanity.
Unfortunately, the impulse to define
and classify sometimes leads to mis-
Interpretation of deplorable kind.
Such, for example, as the false view.
as Dr. Savage terms it, that every per-
son of unsound mind is lunatic. That.
he says is a "pseudo-legal' absurdity.
obviously there are many persons of
unsound mind who are neither dan
gerous to themselves nor to others
why, therefore. regard them as aliens p
The true difficulty, insists this dis
tinguished expert, is that the disease
insanity does not exist. Yet one might
almost conclude, from the elaborate
articles in our leading daily journals
that such a thing as insanity is a def
nitely- established scientific fact; that
it is a malady as definite in its symp-
toms and origin as, say, cancer or tu-
berculosis.-Current Literature for
June.
