According to the story told me, ho
was the only son of n wenltliy uier

Among evil companions and had led
purh a dissoluto life that Ids father
Dot only threatened to disinherit hliu,

have sunk Into the lowest depllw of
poverty until he was Kltul to earn a
few coppers hy Relllns papers or

It was at this last ntid lowest slao
that news came to htm that his fa

was heir to all his vast fortune. The

About three weeks later came a fa
tal telegram, "I'.iiled sorry," which
sent the young man Into the lowest
depths of despair, for he was too old
to sit ngaln. Not many hours later,
however, enme another telegram,
"I'nssed honors very sorry crush so
Brent did not seo name this morning."
The revulsion of feeling was so great
that the student's reason gave way,
and he became so violent In his ex
citement that he bad to be contlned.
Fortunately he was not with us long
and Is now, I am glad to know, doing
very well as a solicitor.
Disappointed love sends many people
to asylums, but It Is very seldom that
success In wooing drives n man mad.
It bad this strange effect, however, on
ono of my Into patients. The girl ho
loved bud gone out to India to keep
house for her brother before ho bad
screwed up bis courage to the point of
proposing to her, but an offer followed
by mull very quickly 'after her.
Weeks ami months passed and no
answer came to the Impatient lover
until, after waiting two years In de
spair, be became engaged to a girl who
had nothing but her money bags to
rei omiiiend her and for whom bo had
not a particle of love. Hcarcely, how
ever, was his fate sealed than he re
ceived the long despaired of letter
from India, accepting his offer and ex
plaining that the girl's brother had re
ceived and mislaid the letter, which
had only just been found and had
come Into her bands.
Within an hour of the receipt of this
letter the man was a raving maniac,
nnd, although his condition is Improv
ed, I doubt whether he will ever re
cover his reason.
In nnother remarkable case It Was
the Joy at seeing her husband ngnlii
that robbed a lady patient of her rea
son. I lor husband was tho captain of
a merchant shin which was renorted
to have gone down with all hands.
The widow had deeply mourned her
husband for nearly a year when one
day on returning from a walk she
found him sitting In the drawing room
as hale and robust as ever.
With a shriek she fell unconscious
on tho floor, nnd when she recovered
her reason was gone. It seems that
her husband, after floating for somo
time, had been picked up by n passing
"tramp" and had been landed on the
west const of Africa, from which be
had returned home by tho first avail
able vessel. Loudon Spectator.

THE QUICKEST WAY.
How One Might Travel 190 Miles In
About Ten Minutes.
It Is estimated that If all mechanical
difficulties could be removed nnd sulll
clent power developed the minimum
time Id which passengers could be
transported over the eighty-Ore miles
from New York to riilladelphla would
be six minutes nud forty-four seconds
nnd for the 1110 miles from I'.ostoti to
New Y'ork ten minutes and four sec
onds. A correspondent of the Scien
tific American who has been working
on the problem says that the trains
would have to bo run in a vacuum to
prevent their being heated to Incan
descence by the resistance of the air.
They would have to be held In sus
pension In the vacuum tube throu.'h
which they traveled, for the slightest
contact with the sides of the tube
would result In enormous friction.
The cars might be 'held In suspension
by the propulsion of opposing magnets
on the cars nnd on the tubes respec
tively. When thus Isolated they could
be propelled only by the power of
magnetism. The energy consumed la
propelling the cars would be compara
tively low.
To avoid shock or Jar the trains
would travel faster and faster until
one-half of the distance should be cov
ered and then slow down until the
destination should be reached. When
the rate of acceleration Is just such as
can be borne with comfort the limit
Is attained. The effect on the passen
gers would be a continuous pressure
il;;alnst the back of the sent, as wlft'ii a
car Is started suddenly, for the llrst
half of the Journey, and then in order
to prevent them from pitching out of
tlicir seats the chairs would be turned
In the opposite direction for the roi
of I he journey, during which the same
sensation would lie relt.
At the speed nani;d the passeugers
would be traveling for each half of
the distance one-third as fast as they
could fall through the same space un
der the attraction of gravity.
The Two Angel.
Tho following allegory Is told among
the Turks:
Every man has two guardian angels,
one on his right shoulder and one on
bis left. lu doing good the angel on
tho right shoulder notes it down -nnd
sets a seal upon It, for what Is done
is done forever. When evil Is com
mitted the angel ou the left shoulder
rr!tes It down, but he waits until mid
night' before he seals It. If by that
time the mnn bows bis head and says.
"Gracious Allah.'I have sinned; for
give me!" the angel blots out the fault,
but if not be seals It at midnight, and
then the nngcl on the right shoulder
weeps.
A Canine Feat.
A blind man, guided by a large and
athletic dog, went down the street the
other day. Just as they turned a cor
ner the blind man's dog saw a dog It
knew and darted forward In a way
that, threw the sightless mendicant, to
the ground. He was speedily assisted
to his feet, however, by a waggish
passerby, who remarked that he bad
heard some remarkable stories of the
feats performed by dogs, but this was
the first time he had ever known one
to pull down the blind. 1 ,

Bituminous Coal.
The lirst bituminous t.(m mined In
the Uniled Slates, states the United
Slates geological survey, was taken
from what Is usually termed the liich
ini.ud basin, 11 small nren In the south
eastern purl Ion of Virginia, near the
cily of lik hmond. This basin Is situ
ntcd on the custom margin of the
Piedmont plateau, thirteen miles above
tldewaler, ou the .lames river. It lies
lu (iobchland. Henrico, Powhalau and
Chesterlleld counties. The coal beds
tiro much dlilorlcd, and the coal Is of
ralher low grade when compared with
that from other districts with which
It lias to come Into competition. The
occurrence of ei.nl was known In the
IMchmond basin as early as 1700, nnd
lu I7W) shipments were made to hoiiii
of the northern slate.'.. At present
what Hi tic coal Is produced In this
Held is for local consumption only.

Movement cf Iccborqi.
Iu the iinesligatloii of the currents
round the const of Newfoundland it
has been observed that there Is ut
times a wide difference In the direction
of the drift of Icebergs and that of the
flat or pan ice, which, having no great
depth, is governed In Its motions by
the surface currents mid the winds,
whereas the Icebergs, the larger parts
of which are submerged to a great
depth, follow only the movement of
the ocean water as a whole and nre
uninfluenced by tho winds. In conse
quence a huge berg may often be
seen majestically maintaining its slow
advance lu opposition to the wind and
across the general motion of the fields
of flat lee surrounding it. The sealers
often take advantage of this fact by
mooring their vessels to an Iceberg
In order to prevent a drift to leeward.

Hunting the Kangaroo.
When brought to bay the kangaroo
jumps like a flash for the hunter's
chest and tries to crush it In with his
fore feet. To prevent this each man
wears across his breast a two or three
inch thick matting. Armed with n
spear, with a club attachment at the
other end, they ride upon swift horses
Into a herd. With the agility and equi
poise of circus riders they stand erect
upon their horses and use their spears
and clubs.
The kangaroo is able to jump clear
over a horse. As tho game is bagged
it Is skinned, and the skin Is stretched
on the ground and pegged down to prer
vent shrinkage. The flesh furnishes
meat for the camp. Each man places
his private mark upon his booty, and
when they have 100 apiece they return
back to civilization.
Why He Searched.
The old man had evidently dropped
something lu the muddy road, and he
began searching for It. In three mlu
utes about thirty strangers had jolnea
in the search, nnd every additional
minute brought additional searchers,
till at last one, bolder than the rest,
plucked iij) heart and spoke:
"What nre you looking for?" he In
quired. '
"My friend," mumbled the old man,
"I have dropped n piece of taffy can
dy.". "But, great Scott," cried another of
the crowd angrily, "why do you go
looking for It when it will be covered
with dirt?"
"Because, uiy Inquisitive friend," re
plied the old man, "my false teeth are
sticking to that taffy."
Strange Hiding Place.
False teeth are occasionally used for
secretive purposes. . An eecentric old
lady boasts of a roof plate which con
sists of two thin sheets of gold be
tween which a miniature copy of her

their millou niaile iheir comi'iidcs al
most Idolize them.
These young ollicers were exceed
ingly anxious to see a ghost and took
a great deal of pains to plunge Into
ull sorts of gloomy places In the hope
of finding tlieui tenanted by beings
from the other world. Al Inst they
seemed to Hud the orthodox old castle
with Its haunted room Everybody
bore witness to the horrible sights and
sounds nightly to be seen and heard
therein, and these young gentlemen
determined to puss the night there.
It was Christmas eve. nnd they pro
vlded themselves with a good supper
nud a bottle of wlue each, a lire, lights
and loaded pistols. The hours wore
on. No ghost was seen: no ghostly
sounds were heard. The younger
brother, wrapped closely In Ids warm
cloak, laid Ids head 011 the table and
deliberately resigned himself lo 11 com
fortable sleep. The elder brother,
though exceedingly weary, determined
to remain awake and await the issue
of events.
After awhile a noise roused him
from 11 reverie Into which be bad fall
en, lie raised his eyes and beheld Ha
waii opening In front of his seat.
Through the opening glided u tall !!;
urn lu white, who signed to him to
follow.
The rose nnd followed the llgure
through long, damp, dark pnssages till
they reached a large, brilliantly light
ed room where a ball was going on.
Above the strains of music nnd the
din of voices pierced a strange, sharp,
clicking sound, like the notes of casta
nets. Bewildered and duzled by this sudden-
transition from darkness and si
lence to this gay festive Beene, It was
some moments before be could col
lect his senses, but be was shocked by
perceiving that these gnyly dressed la
dles nnd their richly uniformed cava
liers were skeletons, and the curious
sound that Impressed him so strangely
was the clicking of fleshless jaws!
The figure at his side ordered him
to take a partner from this hideous
throng, which he refused to do. Irri
tated ot this refusal, the figure raised
his arm to strike, but the officer In
stnntly leveled .at him the pistol be
had continued to grasp and discharged
it full In his face.
With the shock and report he started
to his feet. The white figure, the ball
room, the fearful, ghastly dancers, all
bad vanished, and he was in the room
where be bad supped, but bis brother
lay dying at his side.
lie hod shot him In his dream and
awakened only to receive his last ut
terance. From that awful Christmas
night be was an altered man. All
the gayety had gone out of his life,
all the sunshine bad faded from his
days, and after a few years of una
vailing anguish of remorse he found
himself unable to bear the burden
of bis regrets and put an end to his
life.

besides, their use becomes a habit
that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by a
weakness of the nerves and mus
cles of tho large intestine or de
scending colon. To expect per
manent relief you must therefore
tone up and strengthen these or
gans and restore them to healthier
activity.
The discovery of the active prin
ciple of our remedy involved tho
lubor of tho world's greatest re
search chemists. As an active
agent it possesses the valuable
qualities of the best known intes
tinal tonics as well ns being par
ticularly pleasant and prompt in
its results.
Wo want you to try Rcxall Or
derlies on our recommendation.
They are exceedingly pleasant to
take, being eaten like candy, and
are ideal for children, delicate per
sons and old folks, as well as for the
robust. They act directly on the
nerves and muscles of the bowels.
They apparently .have a neutral
action on other associate organs or
glands. They do not purge,
cause excessive looseness nor
create any inconvenience what
ever. They may be taken at
any time, day or night. They
will positively relieve chronic or
habitual constipation, if not of
surgical variety, and the myriads
of associate or dependent chronic
ailments, if taken with regularity
for a reasonable length of time.
They come in two sizes of packages,
