William VanSleet, the balloonist,
who attempted to make an ascension
from the athletic field in this village
some weeks ago, sent up his balloon
from Pittsfeld Tuesday and accom-
plished one Of the most reckless and
daring trips through the air on
record The balloon landed in Rock
yille Conn. and in describing his
flight to a Pittsfeld reporter after
his return to that city in the evening,
the aeronaut said:
Il don't want to stretch this story
any, but we plowed a clean strip
straight through the vitals of the city
of Rockville, that was half a mile
long If it was an inch We bumped
into few telegraph wires and called
out the fire department. and when
we landed the city officials were so
sore that they pinched the balloon
and locked it up They're holding it
now for damages"
Some months ago a Windham coun-
ty man, who, it was conceded is not
so responsible as the majority of PEG.
pie, was tried and convicted for
shooting at a balloon as it was pass
ing over the country near Brattle-
boro. At that time the conviction
was generally conceded to be a Just
penalty for the disregard of human
life manifested by the offender, but if
communities within a radius of a
hundred miles of Pittsfeld are here
after TO run the risk of having strips
torn out of their vitals It mi4h, DE

midst and its cOwardly and disingen.
ious newspapers straightway began
to disguise the actual facts, lie about
the number of cases and generally be.
fog the situation until the name of
that city and its newspapers were a
shame and kissing about New Eng
land 1t is a fact that no amount of
lying can disguise the ugly truth of
smallpox scare; on the contrary, it
simply aggTavates it and compels
people to believe the casual and ex-
aggerated rumor that is invariably
worse than the actual fact.
The newspapers of the valley
Metropolis have done it an exact
and important service by telling the
thing just as it is
As a comforting detail, it may be
observed that there is slight danger
of any large mortality the modern
treatment and perfect system of iso-
lation having robbed the disease Of
its oldtime terrors
The smallpox situation in Brattle-
borO will soon adjust itself and the
newspapers will have the satisfaction
of work we'll done and a duty proper.

aloud. You wonder way people should
be nervous at all.
Il think you might try to see the
view this morning" says the physician
when he comes in to see you the next
day.
The nurse helps you get out of your
bath and dress, and you are gently led
to wide porch which looks out on the
sun-kissed hills and valleys of the
lordly Hudson. There is nothing near
by to disturb except the silent labor
of few men, quietly picking carrots
and peas for your dinner, all of them
insane but getting well.
1t is all so restful and peaceful
You begin to wonder why you ever
wanted to scream aloud or why you
thought the world was against you
The days slip silently by. You are
content and rested. Suddenly you
realize that you are yourself again
But not before the doctor does. One
bright morning he comes into your
room. You are hungry for breakfast
You have slept nine hours without a
dream. You want to be up and doing

he tells you. "You are well again
But it was close CALL"
You have been saved. Another week
perhaps another day-and your
mind might have been gone forever
Now you are yourself again, ready to
go out into the world and face it with
out qualm.
That is the way New York is saving
those about-to-be insane.
Many Patients Cured.
This splendid place up on the Hud
son near Poughkeepsie has 1900 pa
tents. 1t averages two new ones a
day. Some 25 per cent. of all those
received are discharged as cured. But
of those who have incipient insanity
and can be taken in time the per
centage of cures is 70 per cent.
The Acute ward has been built fol-
incipient cases-those on the verge
of insanity. 1t wants people to come
of their own accord. 1t wants to get
cases before they become chronic, in

For those who are not excitable there

there are private rooms.
In each wing there is a reception

porch. The patients sit six at table
just as they might in hotel, at tables
decked with flowers and bearing spot
less silver and immaculate linen. The
food is far better than the average
clearinghouse provides.
There are three floors, each with

CAUSES LOSS OF MILLIONS.
Wheat Rust Responsible for Enormous
Annual Damage.

Rust still corrupteth the American
cereal crops, and that to annual dam
age exceeding $5O0,OOO,000. The de-
partment of agriculture has put on
record the amazing statement that the
injury to wheat and oats from rust
probably exceeds that caused by any
other fungus or insect pest, and in
some localities is greater than that
caused by all other enemies COM
bined. The farmer in some season or
other in looking over his fields during
early summer cannot help noting that
the fresh green appearance of the
wheat crop is changing in color from
day to day, becoming gradually quite
yellow. On examining closely one of
the withered leaves the observant
cultivator can detect orange yellow
spots or lines, and with the aid of a
low power lens also can see that the
epidermal tissue of the leaf has been
ruptured by the emission of countless
numbers of orange yellow seeds or
spores. The spots and lines upon the
leaves multiply rapidly. and when the

THE WOMEN OF PARAGUAY.
Patient and Good Natured-Dress in
White and Go Barefooted.

Paraguay is rich in local color. The
picturesque character of the native
population with their quaint Indian
features and habits Of everyday life
are interesting to anybody fond of OBJ
serving strange phases of human life.
BY nature these people are patient
and gentle, seldom complaining, chat
tering and laughing from sunrise to
sunset and taking small thought of
what the morrow may have in store
for them.
1t is hard to imagine how Lopez
could have drilled them into fighting
material of strength enough to keep
in check the combined forces of Ar
gentina, Brazil and Uruguay for five
long, weary years, and it speaks vol
umes. for the indomitable energy of
the man that he was able to sustain
his position for 30 protracted time.
Clothing is very much of a super
fluffy in Paraguay. The attire OF the
women is a cotton chemise with a long
sheetlike shawl, or manta, passed
over tie head and around the body In

Of morning in the market places
the women folk flock to sell their
wares, carrying on their heads the
baskets containing the few cents
worth of native produce they have
been able to gather together for dis
posal in the towns. The soft Guarani
language, the common tongue of the
Paraguayans, adds further charm to
the scene.

over her. And if things are favorable
her cure is very simple.
"Of course, some will apply who are
not insane, but think they may be-.
1t may be only prostration. Imagine
the relief to them when we tell them
that they are all right mentally
not insane, but mentally tired.
"One of the great rewards of our
profession is the thanks we often get
from those we have cured. They did
not know at the time what the mat
ter was, but after they had been
cured they realized what had been
done for them. I think there is moth
ing that can satisfy a physician more
than the appreciation of those he has
saved from mental night"
Already there have been many appli-
cants for the new treatment. When
the new hospital opens it will be first
come, first served. If the patients be
found to improve upon treatment they
will not be deemed insane. If they
should fail mentally after period of
six months, then the regular commit
ment proceedings will ensue, just as
they would have done had the patient
waited till the disease had progressed
too far.
Work When Possible.
To-day rs per cent. of the men pa.
tents and IS per cent, of the women
patients at Poughkeepsie are able to
work This gives their minds some
thing to think about and helps toward
a cure, if this be possible. They are
encouraged to wear their own clothes
if they can afford it, and they are al
lowed to receive as many visitors as
the doctors consider good for them.
There are games for them to play,
and pianos, if they are musicians.
Bathing is insisted upon. If the pa
tents want to battle they may do so
as often as they please. If they don't
want to, then they must at regular
periods. Those who can be trusted are
allowed the freedom of the grounds;
others even may go to town if they
desire.
But, what is best of all, 1t costs
nothing if the patient cannot pay.
Board, lodging, medical attendance,
clothing, everything-the state Of
New York will pay for if you cannot.

You are conducted to the Acute hos
pital, or Psychopathic ward (as they
choose to call it up there. You tell
your history and what you fear is the
matter. You are asked to step inside
a reception room. No attendants are
about, and you are your own master
or mistress-and few questions are
asked Perhaps a physician takes a
specimen of your blood to ascertain
the condition of your health.
If your case demands it you are as
signed to a quiet room furnished as
we'll as the Waldorf-Astoria and just
as clean, with hardwood floors, hand
some enameled bed, bureau, chairs
and the like. The physician comes in
and chats with you. You tell him
frankly what your worries are. You
are afraid of yourself; your mind
doesn't seem to work just right. You
are ,hysterical; you can't sleep; you
can't eat; you want to scream out
every minute
Take this lady to her room and
we'll try the continuous BATH" says
the physician.
After you have put on your bath
robe pretty trained nurse in smart
little cap and trim blue uniform puts
her arm around your waist and off
you go to most wonderful room,
filled with all sorts of taps and faucets
and quiet as the grave.
In the middle of the room is bath
tub of the finest porcelain, fitted with
nickeled plumbing. Near by is some
