Eminent alienists agree that clinics re-
veal nothing of the causes of insanity.
DIR. W. NJ. Coplin, director of the
bureau Of health and charities, Philadel-
phia, says: Insanity in most cases is I'M
accompanied by any perceptible change in
the brain structure. The brain of the pa
tient, when examined under microscope
shows absolutely nothing which differs in
any way from the appearance of the brain
of perfectly sound person."
DR.. A. w. Campbell, another authority,
says: Insanity neither affects nor disar-
ranges the brain structurallv."

The egg of the fly is laid in filth,

Making q Precedent.

Having entered the territory of
the Cuban Republic, President Taft
has achieved the distinction of being
the first Chief Executive of the
United States to visit n foreign coun-
try during his term of office. More
over, he has established n historic
precedent and dispelled the wide
spread notion that it is against the
law for our President to go beyond
the territorial limits OF the United
States while still In office. There is
no such law, of course. 1t has sim
ply boen n custom that the Presl-
dent shall stay In his own country
throughout his official term, and the
custom is just as much hOnored in
the breach as In the observance. To
deny the right of the President to
go abroad would be simply to deny
one of the elemental attributes OF
American sovereignty.-New York

Axe Buried in Heart Oak Tree

JEFF Barch, one of the Banners
good friends living near Piedmont,
while engaged In cutting some wood
for this papers winter pile last
week, found an oldfashioned pole
axe imbedded near the heart of a
large oak tree which he was cutting
into sixteen-inch billets.
The axe was about seven feet
from the ground, this distance
doubtless representing the growth
of the tree upward since the owner
OF the implement left it there many
years ago.
A singular feature in connection
with the find is the fact that the
side of the wood where the axe was
removed bore two remarkable inn
prints, barking back to the days OF
Missouri's colonization by the
French.
One of these characters was a
cross and the other was the famous
neur-de-lys of France, the tri-leafed
lily.
The axe itself bears every evil
dence of having been made in one
of the rude FORCES of the pioneer
dnys. 1t was entirely imbeddcd in
the oak, leaving no exterior evil
dence of it's strange concealmcnt.-
