Charles Reade's Cunatics.

The author Of Leaves From a Life"
Il woman. referring to Charles Reade's
notion that half the people shut up in
lunatic asylums had no business to be
there. says: One day he told papa he
had picked out twelve quite sane men
from among the supposed lunatics, and
one Of the doctors had promised to ask
them all to dinner and give them an
other chance. Would papa come too?
AS papa knew the doctor and knew
also that ample precautions would be
taken, he agreed. and the dinner duly
came off. All went well. the twelve luna
tics behaved admirably, and Charles
Reade became more and more sure
that he had rescued twelve unfortu-
mates from worse than prison until the
dessert was placed on the table. Then
the doctor. turning to the man on his
left, said: Have you been introduced
to your mex door neighbor? He IS the
Virgin Mary The lunatic leaped to
his feet. You lier he screamed. I
am the Virgin Mary And In a mo-
ment all the twelve lunatics began to
show themselves In their real colors."
