FORMS OF INSANITY.
Premonitory Syiuptoma by : Which
They May lie Detected.
There are certain premonitory symp
toms of the more prevalent forms of
Insanity that can be counted on, as a
general thiug, as Infallible.
In paresis, which is claiming its tlc
tims in tremendous numbers, there are
many physical slgrs that are almost
incontrovertible.
The exaggerated twitching of the
facial muscles in conversation, the oo
casloual tendency of the eye to turo
outward, the weakness of the legs,
the flabbiness of all muscles, are pre
„ Hlnlnary symptoms that give warning
; that a man is abeut to break down.
With the victim of mania—the manl
afi— the symptoms are often similar to
, .those found In melancholia, though
generally the disease gives the victim
an appearance of great elation. The
eyes are abnormally bright, tho fea
tures are alert and tense and an air of
tremendous excitement Is apparent
This Is from a constant fear that some
thing Is about to happen.
Another form of Insanity Is prevalent
among younger persons. Excessive
«. strain, continual worry or trouble, al
' lfed to a weakened physical system,
are the causes. It manifests itself
through the gradual loss of some facul
ty that has been all right till now.
The loss of memory for details Is an
alarming symptom and one that should
be given careful and Immediate atten
tion. The patient, if taken at the right
j time, may be cured, but not after the
disease has got a firm hold on him.
Paranoia, which Is a very prevalent
.. << type of Insanity, Is almost Invariably
* Indicated by a peculiarly self satisfied,
conceited expression of countenance.
The patient poses, sneers contemptu
ously and In every way shows his tre
mendously "stage struck" condition.
He is absolutely controlled by the
"ego." Everything to him is *T, I, L"
, lie is a monomaniac with one set Idea,
a single purpose.—Dr. Graeme M. Ham'
moud In New York World
ATTAR OF ROSES.
Hon Thin Del leiouM nml Kxpenalvt
l'erfuiue In Made.
The word "attar" Is from tho Arab
"ltr" and means perfume. So attar of
roses Is simply perfume of roses. It Is
brought from Turkey and the East In
dies in small vials and Is very costly.
Even on the spot where it is manufac
tured It Is extremely dear, because it
requires 100,000 well grown roses to
yield but 180 grains of attar.
Its high price causes It to be often
adulterated with some essential or fix
ed oil or with spermaceti. However,
, , the adulteration may be detected by
testing It In a watch glass with a drop
of sulphuric acid. If the attar be pure
It will remain colorless, for pure attar
of roses Is colorless, but If It bo adul
terated It will become darkened.
In rofee fields, where the roses are
grown for tho purpose of making tho
attar, the bushes are planted In rows.
In the early morning they are laden
with beautiful roses, but ere noon
conies they are all gathered and their
petals distilled In clay stills, with twice
their weight of water.
The water that "comes over" Is put
Into perfectly clean vessels and Is then
carefully covered witb damp muslin
clothes to keep out dust and insects. It
Is afterward exposed to the night air
or to artificial cold. By morning a
v »• lilm is swept off with a feather and
j?'/. v.ery carefully transferred to a small
vial. Night after night this process is
repeated until ail of the precious oil is
.separated from the water.
BUSINESS SENSE.
V ' '
A Well Ordrrcil Desk Meana a Well
Ordered Mind.
"There's one piece of advice," said
the senior partner, "that I'd like to
,give every young man taking a busi
ness position with a desk attached to
It. It's this: Keep your desk clean.
What I mean by having a desk clean
is keeping everything possible off it
except that which Is %elated to the
matter in hand. I've observed in my
; time a good iua.\y men in their offices,
nnd I can say that with very few ex
- . ceptlons the real men of affairs are
those who are free from clutter.
X "With a lot of papers in front of you
* It's almost a certainty that some hour
In the day you're going to be flustered,
and very likely it will be just when
you want a clear head. The old idea
that a mass of material every which
way on the desk is a sign that a person
Is full of business is pretty well out
worn. Such a collection not only indi
cates a lack of order, but also is a sign
that nervousness may be expected from
the man in the chair. What with filing
cabinets and other devices no excuse
can be offered nowadays for confusion.
"A well ordered desk means a well
ordered mind, a mind taking up one
thing at a time and giving it the proper
attention. It denotes regularity and
concentrated, effective effort." New

Ilarvell lay In the bottom of his ca
uoe. The canoe was tied a few feet out
from the shore, and the river, deep,
powerful and mysterious, tugged at the
frail little craft. But Ilarvell did not
heed the call. The darkness was deep,
yet luminous, with the promise of an
early moon, and the night wind that
swept from shoreward was sweet and
heavy with the fragrance of blooming
rushes.
Harvell stared upward to the stars,
every sense as keenly alive to the
beauty of the scene as if mind and
heart had not been given over for days
to the problejn which he had thrown
himself into the canoe to solve. Final
ly he stirred restlessly and said half
aloud:
"No. It's no use. I can't do It. She la
too flue and thoroughbred for a great,
common born chap like me to marry.
"MAROARET!" HE CRIED.
And.—no, even If she should be will
ing, which is an Insane thought on my
part, I've no right to let her sacrifice
herself. I'll stay until tomorrow and
then plead business aud disappear."
There was a little stir near the pier,
as of the underbrush, then a woman's
voice, wonderfully clear and sweet:
"Let's sit here and wait for the moon
to rise. The bungalow Is so close and
hot tonight."
Harvell caught his breath. It was
she. The voice that replied he recog
nized as that of his married sister, who
was chaperoning the bungalow party.
"You haven't been yourself at all, Mar
garet, during the entire week."
"I know it, Agnes." The voice, with
its tired note, was very touching, and
Harvell stirred restlessly. "I'm use
less to inj'self and every one else —
every one else," she repeated, as If to
herself.
"Oh, nonsense! Peggy, you are too
fine and wholesome to talk so. I
wish"— Agnes stopped as If not daring
togo on.
Margaret's voice continued: "I want
you to help me to steal off tonight,
Agnes. I want togo home, aud I may
joint the Westburys and goto Paris.
The stage goes down at 0 and I am
going to catch it and steal off without
a word to any one. Please, Agnes."
The perspiration started to Harvell 1 !
face as he strained his ears to catch
Agnes' reply. When It came he gasped:
"Sometimes I think brother Pari is a
fool!"
Margaret's voice was stern. "Agnes,
1 wish you would never mention Paul
Ilnrvell's name to me. I" But hei
voice was growing too faint for tho
man In the canoe to distinguish her
words, strive as he would.
"They've started back to the bunga
low," he thought. "I am a cad to have
listened even thus much. But, anyhow,
I've lived up to the adage. I wonder
why I'm a fool"
Suddenly a realizing sense of Mar
garet's words came to him. Sh-i was
going away, going within an hour,
and all that he had been feeling for a
year was unsaid. For a moment hla
stern resolve of the early evening was
forgotten. Then he sat erect, every
muscle tense with stress of feeling.
"It's better so," he said bitterly. "It's
my business to begin to forget. If she
never wants to hear my name again."
He looked off toward the bank, then
gave a startled exclamation. The piei
had disappeared. Ills canoe was float
ing rapidly down stream, while his
paddle was safely locked In the boat
house.
"I must be almost on the rapids," he
thought. With the thought the boat
turned the bend that had shut off the
sound of the falls and the canoe was
in the whirlpool. To swim was out ot
the question, for in the river here was
a mass of jagged rocks hidden in seeth
ing water. Almost instantly the canoe
was broken and capsized. Ilarvell.
dazed and bruised, clung to a project
lng rock that had wrecked him. Fight
as lie would with all the force of his
wonderful physique, he was dashed
again and again upon the stones. Yel
as he fought he was conscious of only
one thought:
"I must get there. I must have just
one word with Margaret before she
goes."
Then lie gave a cry of remembrnnce.
He, with the other men of the camping
party, had been planning a footbridge
across the rapids. The week before
with infinite toil they had laid a single
line of heavy planks on the projecting
rocks from shore to shore. They were
not yet fastened in any way, their
heavy weight serving to balance them
-airly weir on the stones. The aan~
ness, not yet lighted by the moon, con
cealed the planks, but clinging des
perately with one hand Ilarvell felt
about with the other and by rare good
luck found a plank, wet and slippery
with spray, on a neighboring rock.
With infinite toil he raised himself out
of the water inch by inch until at last
ha.<uwu">lw"l ♦ »»<» irruuf utnna anil folt
the teetering plank.
Then on hands and knees he started
for the shore. Blinded by sprays, the
planks half turning so that he could
only pause, struggling with rigid mus
cles for balance, Ilarvell crawled along
the foot wide planks. And with each
pause came new discouragement. Mar
garet would surely be gone. In a
panic of haste he slipped and fought
liis way, now half in the boiling water
half on the slimy rocks, now again on
the plankway, gaining toward his goal
foot by foot. At last one final spring,
juid Jjtf felt again the solid earth be
neath him. Without thought of his
dripping clothing he started op Ids
"hairTnlie run through the woods to the
bungalow.
"If the moon would only come up!"
he thought as he tore his way through
the heavy underbrush. "If—if only I
am not too late! 1 am going to tell her
anyhow, just to prove to her that I am
a fool. I suppose— Oh, here Is the
stage road!"
On up the sandy road, his clothes
half dry with his rapid pace, then with
the groat edge of the summer moon
peering over the top of the pines, he
perceived a dim tigure standing by the
roadside. The figure shrank back a lit
tle at the night of the man storming
up the roail. Ilarvell passed.
"Margaret:" he cried.
"Yes," answered quietly the sweet,
clear voice that never failed to thrill
him.
"Margaret, why do you go?"
Margaret, too surprised by his sudden
appearance to be startled by his know!
edge of her movements, made no reply.
"Because," Ilarvell plunged on,"1
annoy you with attention, because I
hang on your every word and glance,
because I am an ordinary chap with n*
ancestors, and you are tlic personifica
tion of culture and delicacy—is that It,
Margaret?"
"You have no right to speak that
way, Paul," said Margaret, in her quiet
voice.
"No, but isn't that true?" persisted
Ilarvell. The moon was well above tho
treetops now. By Its light he could
see the look of pride with which Mar
garet drew herself up.
"So you think me a snob? You know
me well Indeed!"
"Know you," replied Ilarvell miser
ably—"no, I know nothing, except
that I love you and that I can never
hope to marry you."
There was a long pause. The sum
mer night was very fair around them.
The girl before him seemed to Ilarvell
a part of the wonder of the night.
"You think, then," said Margaret,
"that I am too brainless to admire your
fine mind, your splendid physique?
Being, you say, well born, I must bo a
snob."
Ilarvell drew a long breath. "Mar
garet," he said, "will you marry me?
Will you say yes, Margaret?"
"Not until 1 have told you," answered
the low voice, "that I was born ami
bred In poverty In the mountains of
Tennessee, that I am finely born only
as every American Is finely born, and I
am proud of It."
The sound of stagecoach wheels came
up the road, but already the two
figures were far up the path that led
to the bungalow.
Men Arc DlKßfr Noir,
Until the sixteenth century armor
developed In a logical way, its forms
were governed by the necessities of
war, and changes In It were the re
sult of practical experience and actual
experiment on the battlefield. After
the sixteenth century It became fan
tastic and meaningless, a gala costume
rather than a harness. The greatest
captains opposed Its use, but the no
bles clung to It as a mark of distinc
tion. After It was made bullet proof
It became so enormously heavy that at
the end of the sixteenth century It
was complained that gentlemen of thir
ty were even at that age deformed by
the weight of their armor. In spite of
the huge armors of Ilenry VIII., of
Anthony of Burgundy and of some oth
ers, the average size of the modern
man Is greater than that of the sol
dier of the middle ages and the re
naissance, If we can judge from the
armor preserved !n the museums of
England and the continent, which are,
with few exceptions, small and nar
row, especially the leg and thigh
pieces.—London Mall.
Shrinking Flannel.
All good flannel Is shrunk before be
ing offered to the public, and the proc
ess is carried on by the most experi

placed between two heavy wet sheets

ty-four to thirty-six hours. When re
moved they are spread out on specially
prepared rails In a drying room heated
by steam pipes, where they are allow
ed to remain until thoroughly dry. The
next process is to place the lengths of
the flannel in folds between layers of
glossy paper and subject It to a press
ing by hydraulic machines. The moro
pressure they are subjected to the more
valuable and heavy the flannels be
come.—London Graphic.

DESTINY OF THE JEW.
To Give the World a llomoffcneoaa
Humanity, Ha> N Walter Hnrt.
Zionism, as It presents Itself to me,
Is a beautiful but a barren dream. It
Is the noble conception of a splendid
sentimentalist, born from the grand
brain and nursed in the great heart
of Theodore Herzl and well calculated
to Inspire the Imagination of a peoplo
that have cherished through the cen
turies Its Imperishable Ideals. It Is the
flower of a mighty love that never can
know a momentary fruition.
In this claunlshness of the Jew, en
gendered by iiges of persecution, we
find the philosophy of conditions that
appear to us as cruel. Ills has been but
a preparatory experience. The strong
est bond of brotherhood In the world
today Is that of Jewish blood. It la
the red badge of a freemasonry found
ed on a community of suffering, and
Its ritual is written large upon each
heart In letters of pain. And this It Is
that at last will weld the world to
gether. With the Infusion of Jewish
blood Into the universal social body—a
blood becomo so distinctive that it
will tincture tlio whole vast volume
men will meet from the ends of tho
earth and, looking In each other's fae#,
will recognize a clansman.
This Is the destiny reserved for tho
Jew—tills Is his socioioglc function
to break down the barriers of race
that partition society Into nations and
give to the world a homogeneous hu
manity.—Walter Hurt in Ctilturlst

grumbled Mart a to herself as she
♦lusted Professor Travers' study. From.
Its windows she could look across to
the uex.t lawn, where a girl In an en*-
broldered dress was tending a flower
garden, a lace parasol In one hand and
a ridiculously small green watering
can in the other. At her heels parked
a tiny dog, and It would have been
hard to tell which Maria regarded with
the more disapproval, the toy spaniel or
its owner.
The next door house had been vacant
so many years that Marta looked on its
npw purchasers, the Gainshoros, in the
light of Intruders, ns the little village
of Hampstead was seldom frequented
by summer people. For this reason
Professor Travers made It his retreat
the moment cohege closed in order to
escape the festivities of commencement
—cheering students, pink Ice cream
and a host of enthusiastic girls had no
charms for him. He was bored by the
former and too deeply absorbed In his
books to notice the latter. • Foi* this
Marta, his middle aged housekeeper,
was supremely grateful. She jtad
taken care of him too many years to
relinquish her supremacy without a
struggle.
"But It will come some time/' said
John, her husband. "Love is like the
measles. And the older he Is when ho
takes it the harder It will go with
him."
"He Is thirty-five and It hasn't come
yet," answered Marta hopefully.
She had nursed Travers through
many childish ailments and felt herself
capable of warding off this most dan
gerous ailment of all. So she guarded
his solitude with watchful zeal. She
hud a horror of Intruders, especially
young and feminine ones, and the near
ness of Betty Gainsboro was a positlvo
menace to her peace of mind.
"Running about In high heeled slip
pers and wearing big, fluffy hats, just
"on, won't you tlease stop?" besought
A SWEET VOICE.
as If a freckle or two would hurt her!"
sniffed Marta, though It was undenia
ble that the face beneath the wide
brims was wlusomely attractive.
The professor caught his first glimpse
of It one afternoon as he came home
through his orchard after a morning
spent in the woods near by. One coat
pocket bulged with specimens,' tha
other contained his notebook, and ho
hurried along the grassy path, wonder
ing if Marta had kept luncheon wutt-"
lug, when from the branches of a
gnarled apple tree above him came a
great rustling. r ii
"Oh, won't you please, stop?'-,
sought a sweet voice. , \ 1 *
The professor halted, blinking up
ward into the leaves, where a pretty,
embarrassed face looked out like a
Dryad In distress.
"I'm up here, and I can't get down,
so I'm afraid I'll have to ask you for
help."
To the professor, unused to climbing
any tree save that of knowledge, the
feat was extremely dlllicult. Yet he
managed It skillfully enough and swung
himself up to where Betty sat. Then
slowly, holding very tight to his hand,
she made her descent, ending with a
jump and a frightened little laugh.
"I won't do that again," she de
clared. "It's been awfully good of you
to help a neighbor in distress, especial
ly when she's been trespassing 011 your
property."
Travers said that he hoped she would
trespass as often as she liked, and side
by side they moved homeward through
the long orchard grass. lie saw hpr to
her own gate, and next day wheu,tbey
went for a stroll by the Hainpstead
river Marta's worst fears seemed real
ized. Iler consternation increased
when Travers began to look to his
canoe that ho had not used In years,
humming a college glee ns he worked.
"If he Is drowned It will be the
fault of that flighy piece next door!"
wailed Marta.
Tie began, too, to take an alarming
Interest In his personal appearance, a
thing he had never done before. lie
£ave up his somewhat seedy coats and
queer, loose collars, and a box present
ly arrived from New York bearing the
hall mark of a fashionable tailor, And
Marta felt that a crisis had been reach*
?d when the loss of some of the finest
specimen ts of flora In Travers' collec
tion only moved him to a temporary
regret. He 110 longer spent his days
poring over books. Instead, he stifled
the moods of Miss Betty Gainsboro,
and came to the conclusion thjat there,
was nothing 6n oarth moro iwcom«
hensible than a woman. Once, miett"
the canoe had nearly overturned,'she
had shown herself valiant in ttie race
of danger, yet the sight of a tiny gaUer
snakc made her seek refuge on tho
uearest feuce, where she perched in a
panic till Travers had killed it.
One evening when Travers was re
turning from a lecture he had given at
the summer school of an adjoining
town he noted a tall young fellow,
fair haired and broad of shoulder, ge|
off at the llampstead station and strike
along the village road like one accus
tomed to the place. The professor fol
lowed a little In the rear. At the
Gainsboro gate the young fellow turn
ed, and Betty, who was lingering on
tho Ui How tn liiSSt ** l VJiLjl
"Oh, Dick!" she cried, an unmlatak
able thrill of surprise and Joy in her
voice. Of the rest Travers saw and
heard nothing. lie stepped back quick
ly Into the shadows. What had
he to be l a witness of a lovers' meet
ing?
"You must have had a tiresome day,"
laid Marta solicitously, "for you're as
white as a sheet."
"I'm an old fool" groaned Travers
to himself, "an old fool! llow could I
ever have supposed that she could care
for me? Why, I'm nothing but a.book
worm— all : my life has been spent In
musty volumes and clam rooms, and
now"— He looked toward the Gains
boro house, where the glimmer of a cig
arette shone like a firefly through the
darkness and the cheerful tunk-a-tunk
of a banjo came on the night air.
"Love," said the professor slowly, "was
not intended for me."
Thereafter, to Marta's satisfaction,
he stayed. Indoors, forsaking his canoe
and applying himself listlessly to his
books. But Marta was quick to read
the signs and soon realized that all was
not well with the young professor.
That he should fall In love had been
tronble enough, but to be refused by a
chit of a girl with no more brains than
a butterfly, that was not to be borne,
and Marta's anger rose the longer she
thought of It. But when, after artfully
questioning the professor, she found
that he had not asked Miss Betty
| Gainsboro to marry him, then there
raged in Marta's heart a battle between
the desire for her own supremacy and
the desire for Travers' happiness. The
latter conquered.
| "I see," she remarked to Travers as
she entered his study bright and early,
duster In hand, "I see that Miss Gains
boro's cousin, who's been visiting there,
has gone. He's going to marry a girl
out west and Miss Gainsboro's to be
bridesmaid. Just read it In the paper
I this morning. I'm sorry to disturb you,
professor, but you know this Is clean
lug day.l won't be long. Suppose you
go out In the orchard and wait till I'm
through?" Marta had seen the flicker
of a white dress between the trees.
Travers, absentmlndedly clutching a
paper knife, went out Into the orchard
In a happy daze and came face to face
; wtyh Betty Gainsboro.
j "Looking for specimens?" she de
, mauded, a catch of laughter In her
tone.
"No," said Travers, "for I've found a
perfect oue at last, a rose of all the
roses that 1 mean to cherish forever. If
will let me, Betty."
I "If you don't mind the thorns, V she
I. whiskered.
T And Marta, watching them from the
| study window, surreptitiously wiped
i her eyes. "I do believe I'm glad of It
I after all," she said huskily, "though I
| know he'll never get his meals on
j tluie."
MADE FUN OF PHARAOH.
I'bf Anclentn I! virion liy II ml a Kern
Sense of Humor.
The fables of ,-Ksop prove that the
ancients were not without a liking for
fun, and the remains of ancient art tell
ihe same story, examples of artistic
humor are more common than Is sup
posed by most persons.
A drawing on a tile In the Metropoll
tan museum, in New York, represents
a cat dressed as an Egyptlau lady of
fa.-hiou. She Is seated languidly In a
chair, sipping wiuo out of a smali bowl
ami being fanned and olTcrcd dainties
by" au abject looking tomcat, his tail
between his legs. *
The cat HgurCs largely In the auc!eut
| comic groups of animal life. In a
papyrus In the British museum a flock
of geese are being driven by a cat and
a herd of goats by two wolves with
crooks and wallets. Oue of the wolves
is playing a double pipe.
There Is In the museum of Turin a
papyrus roll which displays a whole
series of such comical scenes. In
the lirst place a lion, a crocodile and
au ape are giving a vocal and instru
mental concert. Next comes an ass,
dressed, armed and scoptered like a
pbaraoh. With majestic swagger he
receives the gifts presented to him by
a cat of high degree, to which a bull
acts as proud conductor.
Another picture shows pharaoh In
the shape of a rat, drawn in a carriage
by prancing greyhounds. He is pro
cccdlng to storm a fort garrisoned by
cats having no arms but teeth and
claws, whereas the rats have battle
. axes ( and bows and Arrows.

Sir John Macdonald, when premier

at u public dinner at which he was
expected to deliver a rather impor

occasion he forgot the more serious
duty of the evening, and when at a
late hour lie rose his speech was by no
means so luminous as It might have
been. The reporter, knowing that it
would not do to print his notes as they

told him that he was not quite sure of
having secured an accurate report.
