lNEBRIETY.

The close relation of inebriacy to insanity is indicated from the fact that all forms of insanity, from mel ancholia to imbecility, are found in inebriacy. It is artificial; it begins with a slight maniacal excitation ; thoughts flow lucidly; the quiet be- come loquacious, the modest bold ; there is need of muscular action; the emotions are expressed in laughter, singing and dancing. Now the es- thetical ideas and moral impulses are lost control of, the weak side of the individual is apparent, his secrets revealed; he is dogmatic, cruel, cynical, dangerous; he insists that he is not drunk, just as the in- sane insists on his sanity. Then his mind becomes weak, his conscious ness dim; illusions arise; he stam- mers, staggers and, like a paralytic, his movements are uncertain.

DIDN'T LAST.

An Atchison man who recently "confessed religion" and became a member of the church says his fam fly, and not his associates down town, are responsible for the back sliding that followed within three weeks. He says his wife and the girls were in a conspiracy to impose upon him, to work him for money. to make him do more work around the house, and submit to all sorts of tyrannies without grumbling. "He can't object" he overheard his wife say, ''for he has religion now, and is bound to be meek and humble. 7 Three weeks of this drove him into 8 frenzy, and one day he backslid SC vehemently and forcibly that his wife and daughters were left speech. less.-Atchison (Kan.)

PAID FOR HER CARELES..
Owner of Costly Opera ei--.-c Dropped from Balcony Had to Fe
 Satisfied with Exchange.

Between the second and thial acts," said the girl who always sits in the first row in the balcony at the play, q dropped my opera glasses over the railing and they fell ker- smash right on some woman's head. She screamed and so did l, not be- cause she was hurt, but on general principles She had on too much hair to feel the shock. The glasses balanced for a second on her cushion of puffs and curls, then slipped off into her lap. There was little ex- citement, but pretty soon everybody quieted down. l was going down to apologize, but the usher in the aisle said he would attend to that for me. And be sure to bring my opera glasses back I said. 'They are an expensive pair and I can't afford to lose them
 "Before he came back 1 noticed that my victim had moved. but he brought the glasses. The trouble was they were not mine. Instead of the $22 pair l had dropped he hand ed me a pair of the kind you can buy in any department store for S2 40 When I told him that he said he was sorry, but he thought the lady had gone. She had, and my opera glasses had gone with her. Of course, the exchange may have been unintentional on her part, but the more likely supposition is that the woman thought she was justified in collecting damages for the at- tempted assassination, and 1 don't know that 1 can blame her."

FUND DOWN TO LAST DOLLAR
State Treasurer Yates Suspends Payment
 of Warrants on General Fund.

Little Rock, April I6.-One lone dollar remained in the general fund ill the Arkansas state treasury yestt rday afternoon at 3:3o and payment was then suspended by Treasurer J. l.. Yates. The elev. enth hour rush of warrants was turned back, for there was nothing there to meet them with and the holders went out with the stern realization upon their faces the long contemplated deficit in the Arkansas treasury had arrived. Treasurer Yates informed each one the warrants could be brought back in several days, when there would again be money in the gen. eral fund, out of which he could cash the warrants.
 Shortly after the suspension of payment in the treasury, Treasurer Yates and Auditor John R. lobe held conference in which 1t was decided to call upon the county collectors of the state for partial settlement, thus relieving the de 6ciency until the time for settle ment in full with the state.

WHAT IS A BILLION?

Great Britain clings to its own numerical system and regards bil- lion as a million times a million. But America differs, billion in the United States being only a thousand million. This is perhaps the only instance in which a thing is bigger in the old country than in the new. One has to go only little way from England-to Calais-to find the bil- lion lessened; for France dignifies a thousand million with the name of billion. They are wasting word in France in this connection, how ever, inasmuch as there is already a word, milliard, to designate this number.-The Sunday Magazine.

BUILT MANY CENTURIES AGO
Discovery of Stone Arches in England Is of Much Interest to the
 Antiquarian.

The discovery of four substantial stone arches under the western facade of Hampton court palace in England IS arousing great interest. The discovery was made during ex- cavations. The arches are 25 feet long and are parallel with each other and the palace entrance. It is be- lieved they were constructed to bridge the moat which once sur rounded the palace. The date 1862 is cut on one arch. The space that was occupied by the moat has long been filled in. The space covered by the arches is still somewhat empty.
 When the workmen examined the arches they found a curious forma- tion on the inner sides, resembling sticks of horse radish, but when broken they showed a perfectly white interior. They are believed to consist of almost pure lime. Their presence was due to the trickling of moisture through the lime of the stone work. Some are only a foot long, but it is estimated that they took 200 years to form to that ex- tent.

 ''Vat is de matter?" asked Mod. jeska.
 "The steps are moving away said MT. Robertson.
