WHERE LUNATICS COME FROM.
‘ {
Says the London Sportsman: For
many years past we have made statistics
our especial study. We revel in statistics
of such an entertaining character as
those relating to bankruptcy, criminals,
rainfall, atmospheric pressure, railway
rates, thunder-storms, duration of sun-
shine, etc, but we have never hitherto
found anything so much to our taste as
the statistics of insanity and occupation.
Some one has gone to the trouble of
compiling a list of statistics showing the
particular occupation followed by the
inmates of the different public and
private lunatic asylums in England be-
fore their incarceration. From this it
appears that the professional and com-
mercial groups yield by far the largest
proportions, varying from five per 1,000
in soldiers to 3.4 in civil engineers, and
2.4 in artists to 1.0 in the teaching and
lecturing class. In the commercial
group, travelers stand high, 1.3 per 1000.
In the agricultural, farriers and veteri-
nary surgeons head the list, 1.3; while
shepherds and gamekeepers are the
lowest, 0.5. Of manufacturers, paper-
makers are lowest, 0.8; while of‘handi- ~
crafts, plumbers, painters, and glaziel's
are highest, 1.0. The group of persons
employed in the heavier kinds of manual
labor yields a lower proportion than any
other, 0.48, miners being the lowest of
its constituent classes, 0.3. We can un-
derstand soldiers going wrong in the
head, because they have frequently to go
into burning hot climates, where they
are exposed to sunstroke and other evils.
We can also understand artists getting
astray in the upper story when their
pictures are rejected, but we cannot un-
derstand the civil engineer, who as a
rule, has about the pleasantest occupap
tien amongst the profession, unless it be
a struggling and unrecognized man.
Plumbers, painters, and glaziers, of
course, go wrong through remorse at the
way they have served a confiding public,
while, as a rule, the lower class of
laborers have not brains enough to find
the percentage of journalists and persons
is too small to be recognized. This is
doubtless due to the highly moral lives
led by these two branches of the intel-
lectual professions.

now A CANNON BALL SENSATES.
M Boutibouse, the French savant,
served in Napoleon’s army and was pre-
sent at many engagements. At the battle
of Wagram, in 1809, he was in the heat
of the fray ; the ranks around him had
been terribly thinned by shot, and at
sunset was nearly isolated. While re-
loading his musket he was shot down
by a cannon-ball. His impression was
that the ball had passed through his legs
below his knees, completely severing
them, for he suddenly sank down, shor-
tened, as he believed, to the extent of
about a foot in measurement, The trunk
of the body fell backward on the ground
and the man's senses were paralyzed by
the shock. Thus 'he lay, motionless,
among the wounded and dead all night,
not daringto move, when consciousness
partially returned, lest the loss of blood
should be fatally increased. That he
felt no pain he attributed to the stunning
effect of the shock on his nervous system,
and he was still mentally too numbed to
be able to reason as to why he had not
bled to death. At early dawn he was
aroused by— one of the medical stafi',
who came round to help the wounded.
“What’s the matter with you, my good
fellow i” said the surgeon. “All, touch
me tenderly, doctor,” replyed M. Bouti-
bouse; “a cannon ball has carried ofi‘ my
legs ?” The surgeon examined the limbs
referred to, and then, giving him a good
shake, said, with a loud laugh : “Get up
with you; there’s nothing the matter
with your legs!" M. Boutibouse sprang
up in utter astonishment, and stood
firmly on the legs which he had thought
lost forever. “I felt more thankful,"
said he, “than I had ever felt in the
whole course of my life before. Ihad
nota wound about me. I had indeed
been shot down by an immense cannon
ball, but instead of passing through my
legs, as I firmly believed it had, the ball
had passed under my feet and had
ploughed a hole in the earth beneath at
least a foot in dept, into which my feet
suddenly sank, giving me the idea that
I had been thus shortened by the loss 0
my legs.

CYPRIAN LEPERS.
The ancient disease of leprosy has long
prevailed in the Island of Cyprus, but it
afi'ects as a rule only the Christian pop-
ulation, only one Mohamedan being
known to suffer at present from the di-
sease. It exists in three several forms,
but several of the victims have all three
varieties at once, and most of them have
more than one. The unfortunates now
infected with the malady do not seem. to
be r'eg'ardedin these later 'days ivith as
much fear and abhorrence as was inspired
by them at an earlier epoch, when the
western parts of Asia were so terrible
afflicted by the scourge. There is a
general desire to seclude them and avoid
their society, but still some lepers are
married to healthy persons; who do not
trouble themselves to separate from them.
Endeavors are made, whenever annu-
doubted case of leprosy is discovered, to
induce the sufferer to become an inmate
of an asylum, which is called in rather
homely phrase the “Leper Form." This
place had been enlarged during the year
preceding the last medical report from
the Island, and it then contained 50 in-
mates, including several whose history
is extremely. curious, and two children
not at present affected, but born of leper
patients resident in the “farm." This
disease is said to be more prevalent
among males, but there are several fe-
male patients, and, until her death last
year, at the age of 90, there was an old
woman who might be regarded as the
patriarch or rather matriarch of the es-
tablishment. She was the first patient
admitted to it and had lived there over 50
years.- She professed to have suffered
from the disease for about 70 years, but
without any great pain or appearance of
weakness. The opinion of the medical
officer, who has had good opportunities
of studying the disease at the farm, is
that there is still no certain knowledge
whatever as to itsorigin. The old es-
tablished idea that it is capable of here-
ditary transmission is, however, borne
out by his experience ; and one notable
example is quoted to show that it can be
contracted by contagion.
THE KARENS.
The Karena are one of the gentlest
and most timid of all the Asiatic people.
They area jungle people, and evento
this day when I go into their villages on
the distant mountains, the people will
rush away in direct fear. Whole villages
may thus be depopulated at the approach
of a single white man. The converted
Karens are now sending missionaries out
among their fellow-tribes on the moun-
tains. They seem to bear some such
relationship to the Burmeseas the Amer-
ican Indians do to us at home. They
are a subjugated aboriginal race, no
doubt. ‘ When the missionaries found
them they had no written language and
no relegion, although they cherished a
good many religious traditions that ware
extraordinarily akin to the Scriptural
history of Christianity. Hence they
have taken to Christianity with pheno-
menal readiness. Although this mission
is some ten years younger than that
amongthe Burmese, they have twenty-
four thousand communicants against two
thousand Burmese. This, too, in spite
of the fact that there are millions of
Burmese and only from three to four
hundred thousand Karens. The differ-
enee lies altogether in the recipiency of
the people. When Buddhism once gains
afoothold among a people, it is very
hard to unseat it. '

been unable to find anything that would help me

CAPITAL PUNCH. '
A huge punch bowl is to be found in
almost every house in Washington, and
punch-making has become a fine art.
One of the most famous punch-makers
was the late Charles Astor Bristed.’ His
punches were neither too strong nor too
weak. In other. words, one glass would
not make you drunk, neither were you
obliged to drink several gallons in order
toreach a point of exhilaration. This
point of exhilaration is the place to stop
drinking. Daniel Webster Punch is a
complicated drink that calls for whiskey,
rum, champagne, arrack, maraschino,
green tea, lemons, sugar and a very little
water. A party of distinguished Scotch
gentlemen, who were in the city not
long ago, during their stay were invited. to
visit the private residence of a prominent
gentleman. During the evening a light
collation was served in the dining-room
and a huge punch-bowl was set out. The
head of the party, a Scotehman, who at
home occupies the position of provost in
his native town, stepped up and tasted
the punch, and, taming to an acquaint-
ance, said: "That seems very light; I
think it would take a man a long time to
get drunk on the "' This cool liquor
glided very easily'down the provest’s
throat. and a second glass followad.
Pausing before beginning a third glass,
he engaged in conversation for a mo-
ment, then he shook his head, and said,
“I don't see what is thematter with. me." _
His eyes becgme half shut, and as he
stepped forward he nearly lost his
balance. Turning in the most surprised
fashion, be locked at the punch-bowl
and said: “Do you know, I think that
drink is' very inseedious. What is it
made of 1’! His friend replied, " Whiskey,
rum. claret. champagne, sugar and
lemons and a little water. ” The Scotch-
man understood at once what was th
matter. '
INTERNATIONAL canons.
They have been mostly connected with
Biblical matters, and intended to further
party interests. It is said that Field, a
printer of the time of Charles 1., was
paid £1,500 by the Independents to alter
a single letter in the third verse of Acts,
vi., so as to make the word “we” read
“ ye,” and so as .to give the right of ap-
pointing pastors to the people,_and not
to the apostles. The deplorable state of
the press in Field's time may be realized
from the fact that Bishop Usher, on his
way to preach at Paul's Cross, asked at a
stationer's for a eopy‘of the Bible; and
on examining it found, to his astonish-
ment, that the text from which he was
about to preach was not in the book!
The wellknown “Vinegar Bible " was
published in 1717, and obtains its name
from the Parable, of the Vineyard being
printed as the Parable of the Vinegar.
One of the most willful alterations of the
text, and one which cost its perpetrator
her life, was committed by the widow of
a German printer. One night, while an
edition of the Bible was being printed in
her‘house, she took the opportunity of
altering the word Herr into Narr, mak-
ing the verse read: “he shall be thy
fool," instead of “he shall be thy lord.”
The celebrated Bibles of Sixtus V. Their
sole fame is themultitude of errata which
crowd their pages, notwithstanding that
his- Holiness Sixtus V. carefully super-
intended'every sheet‘as it passed through
the press, and finally prefixed to the first
edition a bull forbidding any alteration
in the text.
moans IN THE sonnAN.
The Soudan is none other than the
Cash of the Bible, which the Septua-
gint and the Vulgate render Ethiopia.
When Moses had arrived at man's estate
Egypt was invaded by an Ethiopian
army which successfully laid waste the
country as far as Memphis. In their
despair the Egyptians prayed to their
oracles for aid, and the advice they re-
ceived was that they should offer the
leadership of their armies to “ Moses the
Hebrew.” This they did. The great
difficulty of the campaign was to tra-
verse the roads which led to the Ethi-
opian camp, in consequence of their be.
ing infested with dangerous serpents.
The wily Israelite provided his advance-
guard with a number'of ibes in baskets
and instructed the soldiers, to let the
birds loose on the serpents. By this
ingenious expedient the roads were
speedily cleared and Moses was enabled
to surprise the Ethiopians and defeat
them with great slaughter. '
Carrying the war into Meroe itself,
Moses then laid siege to the capital,
Saba. The, obstinate resistance ofi'ered
by the defenders prolonged the siege for
delivered up by Tharbis, the daughter of
the Ethiopian king, who had watched
Moses from a distance, and from ad-
miring his valor and fallen in love with
him. The story ends happily with the
marriage of Moses and Tharbis. 1

Tan: msronv ori- Trm DRUM.
A contemporary devotes a column to
the history of the drum. It is, aniusing
to find that the Greeks ascribed the in-
vention, to thegod Bacchus. In every
country in the world but one we-find' the

cause it was in that country of martial
‘eminence. There are noless than twenty-
seven distinct combinations Of'beat‘in

CANDLE SUPERSTITIONS.
So far as number is concerned, the
most numerous class of superstitions is
composed of those which cluster round
' the family candles. The origin of these
probably dates for back in antiquity,
when the world was full of superstitious
fancies about light in general and candle
light in particular. When we come
down to the early days of the Christian
Church, however, we find that not a few
of the ordinances .of religion were ao-
companied by ceremonies borrowed from
paganism, in which lighted candles
played an important part. Candles were
lighted at birth to keep off evil spirits,
at marriage to prevent the evil eye from
affecting the happy pair. and at death to
drive away the demons who were thought
to be always on lookout for the soul of
the dying man. Naturally then, as can-
dles played so important a part in the
ceremonies of religion,"men becameao-
customed to regard them with something
of a superstitious eye and tolook to them
for signs and wonders which were
not to be elsewhere found. So a pc-
culiar appearance in the candle, for
for which no reason could be given, was
always regarded as something indicative
of some remai-kable thing about to hap-
pen. A collection of tallow round the
and is believed to foretell the death of
one of the family, while a bright spark
is a sign of the future reception of a let-
ter by the person'opposite whom the
spark is situated, and the waving of the
flame without any apparent cause is sup-
posed to demonstrate the presence of a
spirit in the room. In addition to these
fanciful notions there are some others
which are founded on natural facts too
well known to admit of disputa'such as
the refusal of the candle to light readily,
which indicates a state of atmosphere
favorable to a coming storm.

CRIBIES 0F VIOLENCE IN INDIA.
[According to the report of the Super-
intendent of the Thnggee and Dacoity
Department, there has been a great in-
crease in the number of crimes of vio-
lence since 1880, especially in Central
India, Hyderabad and chpootana. In
1880 the total number of cases reported
was 146; in 1881, 244; in 1882, 315, and
last year, 363. The number of dacoits or
gang robbers was estimated last year at
13,186, and the value of the property
stolen at 5,080,140 rupees. These figures,
which are furnished for the most part by
the governments of the Native States
are behaved to be considerably under
the real mark. Twelve cases of theft
after drugging were reported, 20 persons
being drugged, of whom four died from
the effects of the poison and one was
murdered while insensible. Convictions
were obtained in only. three cases of
drugging, and out of the large number
of dacoite reported, only 218 were ar-
rested and 41 convicted. The figures
clearly prove the necessity for such-sys-
tems of police reform throughout the
whole of India as that to which attention
was drawn a few days ‘ago. The dacoits
and thugs for the most part reside in the
Native States, whence they make fre-
quent raids into British territory. They
form regular tribes, one of the most
notorious of which is the Baori tribe in
Rajpootana, every man of this race being
brought up as a robber. The association
has complete organization and possesses
bold and skillful leaders, and its mem-
bers are masters of the art of disguising
an organization scarcely inferior to this.

SCOTCM WHISKY AND IMAGINATION.
The late Allan Pinkerton, the Scottish-
American detective, had a company of
gentlemen at his country seat near
Chicago one cold Winter day a few years
ago. For an hour he took them about
his place, showing them what was to be
seen, and when at length they returned
to the house they were thoroughly
‘ chilled.
‘.‘ Now, gentlemen," said he, “I want
you to, try some of this old Scotch
whisky," and his guests partook freely
of the proffered liquor.
The he invited . them into the library,
where there'was a large gas-burner stove
appearently glowing with heat. The
party seated themselves round it, hold-
ing out their benumbed hands to catch
the warmth. Here they chatted for a
time, when suddenly Mr. Pinkerton rec
marked:
“It strikes me that stove doesn’t send
out much heat. How do you feel? ”
They all replied that they felt delight-
fully warm, and suggested that the stove
.door be opened. Mr. Pinkerton acted
on the suggestion, and, to the astonish-
ment of his guests, revealed two lighted
candles resting upon a large block of ice
as the only contents of the stove.
“See, gentlemen," said be, “what a
vivid imagination and a little Scotch
whisky will do. "
GENERAL sxoerznnnv.
There are a great number of anecdotes
about General Skobelefi' which have be-
“come legendary in the Russian army,
and there a much greater number about

In the case of the great saurian of the

to lay ; and it is curious to notice that he
even tells the story cf the little birc
