The great Greek physicians had de- voted much attention to insanity, and some of their precepts anticipated modern discoveries, but no lunatic asy- lum appears to have existed in an- tiquity. In the first period of the monastic life a refuge is said to have been opened for the insane at Jerusa- lem, but this appears to have been a solitary instance, arising from exi- gencies of a single class, and it may be said that no lunatic asylum ex- isted in Christian Europe until about the time of the fifteenth century, Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S CASTORIA =H0 “HOLY OF HOLIES” OUT OF FASHION HE “Holy of Holies” has gone out of fashion. There are no longer any sanctities which the world is bound ‘to respect. From the bed of birth to the bed of earth, man’s life—and even woman's —is fit subject for “copy” for the newspaper, the novelist and the col- lege professor. It tock all the power of the New York city police depart | ment to keep the photographers away from the reunion of the Titanic sur vivors with their loved ones. More than one bridegroom has proved his prowess by smashing a newspaper camera. In the bright lexicon of to- day there i8 no such word as reserve. That some of the great sentiments of life may be held in reverent silence is contrary to the present mode It may become the fashion for men to advertise in the “personal” column of the newspapers that they really love their wives. Nothing nowadays “goes without saying.” So we have Mothers’ days, and everybody who loves mother must wear a white car- nation in his buttonhole, to the shame of the rest of us who do no# If we are to have a celebration and a society for every virtue, we shall have ho time for the exercise of these virtues, but must give ourselves to the important business of keeping this admirable machinery going. Obvi- ously, and indisputably, if we have a Mothers’ day we must also have a Fa- thers’ day, for dad pays the freight, and makes possible the buying of flow- ers that adorn the holiday. Also he fulfils various other useful functions, although it is not greatly the vogue to talk about father. He is merely back- ground. Of: course, and beyond question, if we give mother and father their due, we cannot go back on grandmother, bless her heart! Perhaps if we hire enough bands and adopt the right floral emblem—the Wayfarer nomi- nates the chrysanthemum, as sym- bolizing at once the autumn of life and the unostentatious character of these special days—a Grandmothers day will help restore to us the race of dear old women who we knew when we were young, and who are ever so much more desirable than the numerous massaged, pompadour- ed, tailor-made, sophisticated, never: grow-old ladies who awe us now at swagger restaurants. and. social func- tions. And shall we not have a Big Sisters’ dav? Her day seems long in coming. and she toils and sacrifices for the whole household. Especially would the Wayfarer insist upon honoring her, a little later on in her career, by an Old Maids’ day. This is really es sential to any equitable adjustment of the scheme of things. Some day an orator or essayist will win immortal fame by setting forth in terms the office and works of the Maiden Aunt, the prop of dependent or selfish par- ents, and the slave and guide and friend of the children of those par- ents. There is a high seat in heaven for the unhonored and uncommem- orated Old Maid Aunt. In passing, let it be emphasized that!'there is to be no honor shown the Old Bachelor; he is deserving of no consideration what- soever. He is the saddest word of tongue or pen. Resisting the temptation to extol the glories of a Faithful Lovers’ day and a Husbands’ day, and more par- ticularly of a Wives’ day (for to merge these into Mothers’ day and Fathers’ day is to assume, modern fashion, that the standpoint of the children is the supreme concern of matrimony), the Wayfarer moves on to indicate the high Importance of founding cer- tain societies to commemorate the cardinal virtues; since nowadays vir- tue seems not to be virtue unless it wears a badge, possesses a diploma and employs a press agent. The Way- farer is well aware that he is not a pioneer in this project. It was but a few days ago that the pastor of a large church proposed in all serious- ness that he would like to give up his charge and devote himself to estab- lishing a Society for the Promotion of Democracy. The dearth of associa- tions for the furtherance of the obvi- ous probably had appealed to his pro: gressive mind. So the Wayfarer has contemplated the glorious future of a Society of Men Who Do Not Beat Their Wives; and of allied organiza- tions of Men Who Do Not Smoke, of Devotees of Non-dancing, of the Vir tuous Company of Gentlemen Who Never Stay Out Late. The crude, unsocial, old-fashioned scheme of private virtue, more care fully veiled than a Moslem lady, has persisted long enough, say we up-to- date folk. The world has struggled along for several millenniums, cum- bering men and women with the bur den of responsibility for the cardinal moralities. Let us improve upon this by giving every virtue its correspond- ing publicity. It pays to advertise. Away with those hidden recesses in human hearts! Out into the lime- light with the secret of holy places! —Exchange. DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way. to cure deafness, and that is by constitution- al remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When the tude is inflamed you have a rumbling or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma- tion can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; mine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh," which is nothing but an in- flamed condition of the mucous sur- faces.
