But suppose some one were to tell you that
many, if not most, of the worlds greatest men
were partly insane, that TO possess absolute equ-
lbrium of mind is to rank with mediocrity and the
commonplace, and that great minds have often
been afflicted with great madness, what would you
say?
Mankind, according to DR.. Joseph Grasset,
laureate of the Institute of France and one of the
worlds most famous alienists is divided into three
parts-the sane, the insane, and the semi-insane
The semi-insane, perhaps, never enter asylums; in

category of ''crack-brains" Grasset classes some
OF the most gittering modern genuses of the

madness and semi-rnadness wrote the book which
had such a tremendous influence on the philosophy
OF the nineteenth century; Count Tostoi. who
tried to fly in his youth and has always been &C.
