Student Of Insanity.
"In my Judgment" says a student of
insanity, there are hundreds Of peo-
pie walking the streets of all the big
cities today who are insane upon
some one topic and who only need a
reference to it in conversation or 9TH
erwise to throw them into a severe
irrational tantrum, and my experience
satisfies me that the asylums are
crowded with persons who appear to
be the most reasonable beings on
earth until their attention Is directed
toward some subject that disturbs
their mental apparatus and makes
them dangerous subjects.
1.-THE most striking incident Of this
kind that has ever come under my OBJ
servation occurred when some years
ago l was visiting an asylum In Edfn-
burgh. / was introduced to a patient
who had been q physician. He was in
telligent, and l had a long converse
ton with him on general topics with
out the slightest knowledge on my
part that he was q patient. When DID
ding him adieu l remarked that we
were likely to have a beautiful moon
light night In a second his whole de-
meanor changed. Instead Of being a
cultured, amicable gentleman he be-
came a raving maniac and was quick
~ seized by several attendants. My
simple allusion to the moon had done
the whole business.
'It seems that this doctor, who had
a large practice at one time, had be-
come enamored Of study Of astron-
omy and had for some years been en-
deavoring to invent telescope which
would enable him to get an interior
view Of the moon. He became crazy
on that subject. His case was held to
be incurable. Cincinnati Enquirer.

On Vacations.

1t is related in Stewart Edward
Whites book, 1.-The Mountains" that
once upon a time man happened to
be staying In hotel room which had
originally been part Of suit, but
which was then cut off from the 9th
ers by only thin door, through which
sounds carried clearly.
1t was about II o'clock when the
occupants of that next room came
home. The man heard the door open
and close. Then the bed shrielled aloud
as somebody fell heavily upon it.
There breathed across the silence a
profoundly deep sigh.

A FAMOUS CARPET.
The First One That Was Used In Old
New York City.

view IOTN Sitys
81 haven't learned everything about
my business yet" said the young car
pet salesman, "but I've picked up some
information that's interesting even If
it isn't new.
"For instance, not everybody knows
that it isn't so very long ago-only
about 200 years-that nobody had a
carpet in New York city. They didn't
use rushes strewn around for floor COW
ering, as they used to do in England,
partly, suppose, because .rushes,
whatever they are, were not plentiful
and partly because they preferred
sand. Certainly sand sprinkled on a
bare floor seems cleaner and better
than rushes, and it has some advan-
tages over a regular carpet. Anyhow,
that was what they used in the houses
Of the aristocracy.
"But carpets came in fashion In New
York at the very end Of the seven
tenth century, and the man who intro
duced the fashion was Captain Kidd.
He wasn't pirate then. He was cap
tain of the Antigua, a packet ship ply
ing between here and London, and
was citizen and a householder In
this city. In 1892 he married Sarah
Port, the widow Of another ship cap
tain, and set up housekeeping in Han
over square, then an aristocratic quar-
ter.
"In that house on the floor Of the
best room,' as they called 1t In those
days. was the first carpet known to
have been in use in New York. 1t was
valued at $25, which doesn't seem ex.
travagant even as money was then
valued. That may not be an important
fact. but it's interesting. "-New York
