his face continually and if he had ever had a
chance to rule anywhere, no one would ever have
accused him of cruelty. He was modelled after
the lines of old King Cole. But one day a pa
tient was admitted whose weak point happened
to be the idea that King Edward had sent ennis
saries over to kill him. The doctors hesitated
about putting the new man in the same room
with the king, but both were perfectly harmless,
so the experiment was tried. All went well until
the new patient learned that King Edward was
about. Then he fled in terror and hid under a bed,
and all the coaxing the nurses could do could
not drag him out again. They were in a dilemma
that taxed the resources of the institution. Final
ly, they decided to put the case before the king
and depend upon his well known good nature
to help them out. He was alive to the situation.
His grief was touching, for a more harmless king
certainly never breathed. Profuse with regrets at
the strange mistake, the monarch approached the
man under the bed and commenced to parley
with him. With all his negative graciousness the
king assured the benighted one that he was delud-
ed. Strange to say, the new man gradually began
to believe it. Som -thing In the kings. face in.
spired confidence snd at last he came out. Tho
two soon became fast friends and the monarch
raised his new found friend to the peerage. This
man is now out Of the asylum, cured of his de-
fusion. But the king still rules his little king
dom as happily as the man who rules his home.
According to the best known alienists in
America, the natural condition of the insane per-
sons mind may be restored to normal by first CIV
ing health to the body, which ultimately, 1t Is
claimed. will carry itself to the brain, the blood
being purified and eventually carrying away tbs
diseased portions Of the brain. This, of course,
cannot be made to apply to the cases which are
violent, unless unusual conditions prevail, but at
least athletics may be pronounced a great aid.

it. In 1890 there were 1862 hospitals, while IN
1908 there were 328, and many of the older ones
had been enlarged. In other words, the country
is taking care of the insane and taking them out
of their homes, and incidentally the idea grew
that because the institutions were increasing in
number and size the number of cases was like
wise growing abnormally. d..
1t Is not generally supposed that there is a
brighter side to insanity. The, 5000, 900 people of
ably do not see this bright side and few of the
other millions realize it. But nevertheless it is a
fact that the darkest days of the affection are
over.
Nearly every patient in an institution is normal
in all but one or two subjects. The dangerous
insane are, of course, another matter; to them
it is always night, and will be until some genius
discovers a new method of treating the brain
more satisfactorily than is known at the present
day. But these others are normal human beings,
with normal wants and ideas on all subjects but
one or two.
In the old days this normal part of their nature
never had its outlet; their lives were never given
the leeway necessary for even a moments happi-
ness. But to-day it would not be an exaggeration
to say that the insane in institutions are a reason
ably happy lot.
In many institutions entertainments are given
regularly by the inmates. The man who has the
idea that he is King Edward is allowed to sit
in his royal box in all his majesty, and, as his other
faculties are unimpaired, he enjoys the show to
its utmost. The woman who believes she has in
herited a million from her uncle sits in the front
row, happy in the belief that in q few days she
will leave the institution and buy a silk dress for
every woman she leaves behind.
The INDUCING principle in the treatment of the
insane to-day is simply to hamor them whenever

pates IN championship games on the field, diamond,
track, gridiron and gymnasium floor.
A great alienist once said that where physical
w~ell-being is to be found there is usually a compe-
tent mind also. Athletics naturally promote bodily
improvement, and with it comes the elimination of
the diseased portions of the brain. Thus medical
men hope to eradicate insanity among the patients
at the hospitals.

enjoyment out of his successes as the one who is
insane. They take it as a new kind of play and
take to it with all the vim that their physical at
tainments will permit.
& Dances are also given in some asylums, to which
the public is admitted by invitation. These, while
they have their pathetic side, of course, afford
much pleasure to the inmates, especially the young
,er ones. ~
Surgeons declare that some day all varieties Of
Insanity will yield to treatment and be durable.
An operation on the brain is said by them to be
the solution but as yet the man has not arisen who
can perform such an operation with unfailing sue
cess. There have been isolated cases now and
then that have proved successful, but the brain is
one of the mysteries Of the human body that has
been reserved for a future generation to solve.
Meanwhile, however, under the new order of things
fhe insane are far from an unhappy lot. 1t is only
those of sound minds who are able to realize the
Might Of those afflicted people; while they in their

1t is possible. This was very strongly brought out
not long ago in an asylum near Chicago. There
was a patient there who had the idea that no
was King Edward. The king was all right in
every other way, but his idea on this point was
so strong within him that it gave his normal
part very little room to move about. From
morning until night he would talk over variou1
matters of state with his cabinet ministers. who

to India, and thence to Africa, but the
weight of authority is in favor Of &C

nut has been largely cultivated in the
United States, but it is only since
1866 that the crop has become of pri-

eastern states. Tennessee, Virginia
and the Carolinas produce the bulk of
the peanut crop of the country.

Bishop Hughes.

If the churches of the United
States had just a few men like
Bishop Hughes. the cry that the
church is a back number would have
to evaporate. His presence has
given the Methodist denomination in
the northwest a boost that will be
felt for years.
He is a great preacher, a good
mixer. a prime thinker. but above
all, he Is just a man. He makes no
show OF his piety, of which, he no
doubt, has a plenty. He loves his
joke, which is human. He is SYM

genial but deeply in earnest; he has
little time for ecclesiastical mil

BLINDFOLDED.

My wife had called me brute and
a beast and an unfeeling savage. So

under a maple tree in the darkness

thick, black cigar, and to wonder at
the nagging qualities of our best
friends-our helpmates.

utes, think, and had given myself
up to a delicious reverie on the
chances of our baseball club for the
pennant. when pair of slim, warm
hands slipped around my face and
over my eyes, and somebody Singer

I was sure of my blindfOlder's
