It, In 1890 there were 1862 hospitals, while n
1903 there were 32S, and many of the older ones
had been enlarged. In other words the country
is taking care of the insane and taking them out
or 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
1t Is not generally supposed that there is
brighter side to insanity. The 100000 people of
ably do not 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 two subjects. The dangerous
insane are, of course. another matter; to them
it is always night and will be until some genius
discovers a method of treating the brain
more satisfactorily than is known at the present
day. But these others normal human beings,
with normal wants and ideas on all subjects but
two.
In the cid days this normal part of their nature
never had its outlet their lives were never given
the leeway necessary for even moments happi-
ness But to-day it would not be an exaggeraton
to say that the insane l., institutions are reason
ably happy lot.
In many institutions entertainments are given
regularly by the inmates The man who has the
idea that he n King Edward is allowed to sit
in his royal box in all his majesty and his other
faculties are uaimpared he enjoys the show to
its utmost. The woman who believes she has in
herited a million from her uncle sits in the f.cnt
row, happy in thu belief that in few days she
will leave the institution and buy silk dress for
every woman she leaves behind.

insane to-day Is sIply to humor them whenever

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 pa
tient 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 man in the room
with the king, but both perfectly harmless,
so the experiment was tried. All went well until
the patient learned that King Edward was
about. Thea he fled in terror and hid under bed,
and all the coaxng 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 more harmless king
certainly never breathed Profuse with regrets at
the strange mistake, the monarch approached the
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 man gradually began
to believe it. Something in the kings face in
spired confidence and at last he out. The
two soon became fast friends and the monarch
raised his 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 happily the man who rules his home.

CHRISTMAS CHEER
As Ever 1t Calls on the Housewife for Sweets Pies.
and All the Rest of the Good Things
of the Holidays.

Spread over buttered tins and cut in
squares.
An excellent imitation of one of the
newest of store candies may be made
at little cost. These are the peanut
creams and chocolates that are now in
such high favor. To attain this mas
terpiece take some peanut butter, and,
after sailing it slightly, shape it into
the forms desired Some of these may
be rolled in fondant and served plain:
others may be covered with chopped
nut meats; some may be dipped into
melted chocolate, or they may be
treated in any manner that the in
genuity of the amateur candymaker
may suggest. In any form, however,
they are quite as delicious as the can
dies that are sold in stores.
A fruit and nut delicacy that cannot
fail to appeal to the housewife at
Christmas time is made by chopping
cup of nut meats with two cupfuls of
dates, half cupful of figs, and half
cupful of Maraschino cherries that
have been drained free from liquor.
be chopped too fine, mold into the
shapes desired, and dip each piece into
a syrup made by boiling half pound
of sugar with half a pint of water until
it will harden like candy. Slices of
orange or pineapple, and dates, figs or
any kind of nuts may be coated in the
SINE manner.
Now that maple sugar may be OBJ
tanned without great difficulty, an ex-
cellent candy may be made by boiling
three cupfuls with cupful and half
of sweet milk and half tablespoon
full of butter for about ten minutes. At
the expiration of this time beat with
a spoon until the mixture is both
creamy and thick. 1t may then be
spread in buttered tins to cool, or, for
| the sake of variety, the candy may be
| divided into three equal portions, one
I part to be served plain, another mixed
with nuts, and the third with chopped
C4ndied cherries.
| Sailed nuts are now so great a
| favorite that no elaborate dinner
would seem complete without them.
AS ordinarily prepared, however, the
sailing of nuts is quite a serious task,
but if the cook desires to save time in
cooking them she may attain the same
result more easily by dropping them
into a kettle of deep fat-lard by
preference-and letting them remain
from 10 to Is minutes. When done,
they must be drained thoroughly be-
fore being sailed to taste, and they
will be found to be just as palatable
as the nuts that have been prepared
by the far more laborious process.
If you are in search of a novelty, in
stead of sailing all the nuts for the
Christmas dinner, try the experiment
of "brandying" some of them. To do
this, soak the nuts for about sc hours
in brandy-French brandy, peach
brandy or applejack will do-tAen
cover them with Thin fondant, OF
merely roll them in powdered sugar
The result will be hailed with delight.
