Insanity and Marriages.

Insanity and Marriages.
| DR.. G. II. Savage, who was seen at the
| New Willard in speaking of The Wash
| lngton Heralds discussion regarding the
health of those contemplating matrimony,
| said: THE time is not yet ripe for legls-
| lauon, but advice as to the marriage
OF nervous persons is constantly sought.
First" said he. there are certain per
sons who have been insane. and recov-
cred. and who can marry with safety to
themselves and to their children
For example. young people who have
| had attacks of mental depression from
which they have recovered and have not
had any remission Secondly. cases that
have suffered from acute mania which
have passed off at adolescence and have
not returned. may also marry in many
| cases.
"On the other hand. there are certain
| types of mental disorder in which mar
rage should be absolutely barred. Cases
in which there are occurrences OF mental
disorder. so that patients have had two
| or three attacks before reaching middle
age, should not be allowed to marry.
! Those suffering from any form Of brain
degeneration, particularly II due to GER
tain bodily diseases, should not be al
| lowed to marry.
| Marriage should never be recon-
| mended as a cure for any form Of mental
disorder. and cases of so-called hysterical
disorder are very rarely. II ever, benefited
| by marriage. The results are frequently
| disastrous to both parties"
Replace Game Birds.
| Wallace Evans Of Oak Park. I'll, who
is at the New Ebbitt in speaking of
! game, said last night: Those Common
wealths which are active in the work
| CT protection and propagation of game
! birds have grown to realize that some
| thing must be done to replace quail,
| prairie chickens, and other native birds.
| These are rapidly disappearing, as they
cannot endure the habitation of man and
! thrive
Iowa" continued Mr.. Evans. is now
stocking its wild regions with pheasants,
md Indiana and Oklahoma also have
realized the qualities OF the pheasant
and now welcome it as an immigrant
The pheasant makes 4 huntsman's para
disc. In England it Is slain in numbers
| which would be considered slaughter in
this country. \ single days bag of many
| hundreds is common Immense killing
has been going on for years-tO such an
! extent. indeed. that il would arouse the
! protests of Americans If inflicted on our
own native game Eut there are more
! pheasants in England now than there
were twenty-five years ago. and the num-
Ler IS always increasing Tricky set
| tied country regions are found habitable
! by this valuable bird
| Iowa and q few other States realize
! this now and their game commissioners
are particularly active in settling the
country with pheaSarts in abundance
! Certain sections of Iowa will become the
! huntsTnan mecca before long. and as a
! commercial proposition for the State it is
| 4 far-sighted move
| improvements in New Orleans.
The corporate limits of New Orleans
! cover 10 square miles, said Warren r.
Reed. of that city. who was seen at the
Arlington
| six years ago the geographical center
| Of the city was in the midst OF a marsh
| inhabited by alligators and crawfish- To-
| day handsome houses and smooth road
| ways cover it Four years ago an 5000
| acre marsh Immediately TO the eastward
| of the settled portion Of the city could
not be traversed by man without the aid
of a pirogue, and this year many thrifty
| farmers are growing highly profitable
food crops thereon in great profusion-
| Immediately beyond this tract work is
| being pushed on the reclamation of more
than 1900 acres, and provision has been
made for the opening up of more than
| 100 miles Of wide. paved boulcvards along
| the shores of Lakes Pontchartrain and
| BCrgne- All of this is within the cor
| porate limits of New Orleans, and all
| of the railroads entering from the east
| pass through these tracts.
ITO the westward the same character
| Of work is being done" continued Mr.
| Reed, and preparations are now being
made to reclaim an additional half-mil-
| lion acres through the construction of a
wide levee along the western shore of
| Lake Maurepas On the crown Of this
| levee a paved roadway seventy-five miles
| in length will connect New ORLEANS and
| Baton Rouge. and ultimately will be the
| southern terminus of a Chicago-New Or
| leans highway"
