Insane Asylums.
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,

“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!

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.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured ‘by
Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for cir-
culars, free.

We have that Best—The TROY hi
i You can’t afford fo take chances on a farm wagon—and you
don’t have to. Let us talk TROY to you. We can show you
that it is different—where and why a TROY is the cheapest
wagon on the market for you. ors Rg repo
Get the most you can for your money—long, certain service;
no break-downs; no repairs. The TROY is always ready to
hitch to—always dependable. And when it is hitched to, it runs
lighter and carries more than any other make of the same size.
Investigate these statements. Don’t buy till you have gone
over the TROY piece by piece, part by part. Materials, design,
construction—examine them all. « You can trust your own facts.
Drop in any time—if we can’t show you, buy some other wagon,
