LUNATIC ASYLUMS.

DR. TALMAGE’S FRIDAY EVENING
TALK AT THE TABERNACLE.

 

 

Institutions Ovorerowded—Patients Im-
properly Cured for-Terrible Experi-
ence with a Madman on 3 Railway

- 3. Train.

BROOKLYN, Dec. 9.—The Rev. De Witt
Talmage, D. D., gave the people a talk on
“Unfit Asylums" at the Tabernacle week
night meeting of this date. He said:

A few days ago through the enterprise
of one of the newspapers, and almost
every year through some of the explora-
tions of journalism, we have revealed to
us that there are in this country in-
sane asylums that are Torquemadas
of torture rather than institutions
of mercy. One of them has 1,483 insane

- patients crowded into :1. building intended
for 800,'and only thirteen cents per day
allowed for the food of each patient! I
will. undertake to say that if you should
take fifty men and women of sound mind
and level heads, and compel them to stay
in such a place one year, forty-five of the
fifty would,..by the end of that year, be
crazy as a loon or mad as a March hare.
\Vhat have these patients done that they
should suffer such oppression? All the
fault of some of‘ them is that they had an
unbalanced ancestry. All the fault of some
is that they were thrown from a runaway
vehicle or caught in a rail train collision
and the brain was damaged. All the
fault of others is that some sudden be—
reavement dethroned their reason. All
the fault of others is that inhumanity of a
brutal husband or the collapse of fortune,
hurling them from affluence to penury,
drove them into dementia. In other words
the majority of them, for no fault at all,
are kept in a most distracting, terrifying
and intolerable incarceration. Thirteen
cents a day! Merciful God, have pity
upon these victims of a city of beauti-
ful parks and great churches! Thirteen
cents a' day! Why, a loaf of bread
costs ten cents.‘ With the remaining
three cents what green turtle soup, what
sirloin beefsteak, what ice cream me-
ringue desserts they must have. .had!
Thirteen cents a'dayi Hear it, ye well
fed board of supervisors, and board of
charities, ,and judges of courts, and grand
juries. Most of the insane patients, with
their nerves all a~jangle, are thrust in
where recovery is an impossibility!
Those with only what the Scotch call
a “bee in the bonnet,” or a little
daft compelled to hear the howling
of the stark maniac: Kleptomauia, or
an uncontrollable desire to steal; pyro-
mania, or an ungovernable wish to apply
the torch; dipsomania, or unmanageable
alcoholism; hypochoudria, or gloomy in~
fatuation about one’s own health, and all
the.multiform shapes of aberratiomput
amid surroundings unfavorable for cure.
So the doctors say, so the nurses say, so
say all the‘ visitors who haveeyes to see
and‘ ears to hour'_ and noses, to smell.
Moreover, such n-doom is possible to any
one.‘ With the flight of reason goes the
capacity to earn a livelihood. You may
boast. of the fact that none of
your. ancestry had such lunatic pro.
elivities, and that your mind is so well
poised that you can never become crack
braided. But all that is needed to fix you

in the same horrible predicament is that.

or lodge, a radian hurl a slung shot.

for the rest of your life, know your own

Hall, the most eloquent Baptist preacher

of his day, his writings 'a classic
in sermouic literature, spent many
of .his days in the insane asylum,

theologians than almost any other
book of the century, prepared
much of it in the insane asylum.
Dr. .John Brown, of Edinburgh, author
of “Rab and"His Friends,” that one
treatise giving him immortality of fame,
again and again was taken, at his own
request, to the insane asylum, and died
insane. “What are you writing now, Dr.
Brown?" I said to him in his study in
Edinburgh.

“0h, nothing," he replied; “I never
could write. shall never try
again." And I'saw on his face and
heard in his voice that melancholy that
sooften nnhorsed him. I shall not for—
get how, when I was one day visiting the
Bloomingdale Insane asylum, I heard a
girl, who had been demented by the sor-
rows of orphanage, declaim with an ac-
centuation that any orator might envy
these words of William Cowper. As she
mine up and looked into my eye, she said:

God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to per" rm;

Be plants his footStcps in the 60‘.
And rides upon the storm.

Blind unbelief is sure to err.
And soon his work in vain;

God is his own interpreter,
And he will make tpimn.

Let not the unsympathetic with clear
brain feel too independent of disaster.
Many a ship went out with all sails set,
but never reached the desired haven. Re-
member that this horrorof 1,483 patients

thristian city. «It maybe more dramat-
ically graceful to» sitgiu. theahox of a

Scott’s “Guy Mannering,” or late at
night at home to sit, with pallid cheeks,

Goethe‘s Mignon. But I think it would
please the Lord better if we did something
practically helpful for the insane asylums
of America: Alas, for the fifty thousand
insane Of the United States, and the sixty
thousand insane of England, and the
seventy thgusand insane of France, and
for the millions who have been wrecked
on that awful coast. in 1879, in Eng-
land, I was, bya strange event, impressed
as never before nor since. with what an
awful disaster is the loss of reason.
On my Way from Wales to London
I met with one of the most exciting scenes
I ever witnessed. We were in a railway
train going at a terrifievelocity. There
are two or three locomotives in. England
celebrated for speed. One they=call the
Flying Dutchman. Another they name
the Yorkshire'Devil. We were flying be-
hind one of those locomotives sixty miles
an hour. There were five of us—four
gentlemen and a' lady—in an English
car, which .is a different thing, as

- most people know, from the Ameri-
can car; the English car holding com-
fortably only about eight- persons, four of
them occupying one seat facing four on
the other. 'We halted at the depot. A
gentleman camevto‘ the door, and stood a
moment, as if not knowing whether to
come in or to stay out. The conductor
compelling him to decide immediately, he

got in. lie was finely gloved and every
way well dressed. Seated, he took out
his knife‘ and began the attempt

of splitting a sheet of paper . edge-
wise, and at this sat intensely en-
gaged for perhaps an hour. The
suspicion of all in the car was aroused in
legal-d to him, when suddenly he arose
and iookedl around at his fellow pnss‘en-
gem, and the fact was revealed by his eye
that he was a maniac. The lady in the
car (she was traveling unaccompanied)
became frenzied with fright and rushed
to the door as it about to jump out.
Planting my feet against the door, I
lands that deathde impossible. A look
of horror was mi all the faces, and the
question with each was, “What will the
madman do next?” A madman unarmed
is alarming; but a madman with an open
knife is terrific. In the demoniac strength
that comes to such a one, he might
make sud havoc in that flying railway
train, or he might spring out of the
door, as once or twice he attempted. It
was a questiou between retaining the foam-
ing fury in Our company or letting him
dash his life out on the rocks. Also it
might be a question between his life and

the life of one or more in the train. Our
own safety said, “Let him go." Our huo.

manity said. "Keep him back fromino
stunt deathfi" and humanity triumphed.
The bell rope reaching to the locomotive
in the English railway train is on the mu~
side of the car and near thereof, and
diflicult to reach. I gave it two or three
stout pulls” but there was no slack-
ening of speed. Another passenger re-
peated the attempt without getting any
recognition- We might as well have tried
to stop a whirlwind by pulling a boy’s
kite string. "NVhen an English engineer
starts his train he stops for nothing short
of acollisinn, and the bell rope along the
outside edgeslof the caris only to make

earasif it belonged tohim and all the
rest of us avers intruders. Then he dropped
in convulsions .across the .‘ap of one of
the passengers. At this moment, when
we thought the horror had .ciimucteratcd.
the tragedy was intensified. We plunged

ho’ur's. Can you imagine a wors‘e gib‘smOn
than to be fastened in a railway carriage
eight feet by six, in a tunnel of com~
plete darkness with a maniac? May the
occurrence never be repeated! We knew
not what moment he might dash upon us
or in what way. We waited for the light,
and waited while the hair lifted upon the
scalp and the blood ran cold. When at
last the light looked in through the win-
dows, we found the afflicted man lying
almost helpless. IVhen the train halted
he was carried out, and we changed car-
riages, for we did not want to be in the
place where such a scene had been on-
acted. Oh, thank God for healthful
possession of the mental facul-
ties! Thank him every morning
and every night. For that great
blessing how little appreciation we have.
From cradle to grave we move on under
this light of reason without realizing how
easy it would be to have it snuffed out.
Nothing more powerfully stirred the heart
of the man of sorrows than the demoniac
of Gndara, and what a relief when the
demon came out of him, and the desper-
ate patient who had cut himself among
the tombs sat clothed and in his right
mind.

Story.

Some writers have endeavored to show, on
the authority of that famous philosopher,
Hobbes, that man is the only “animal" that
can laugh; but there seems to bc a. difference
of opinion on that subject; and in the fol-
lowing quotation I give the reader tho benefit
of the doubt: “There are animals that both
laugh and weep. There are, on the con-
trary, races of men like the American In-
dians and Cingalese Veddas, which do not
Two essentials are needed in order
to produce the physical phenomenon of
laughter in man—first, facial, vocal or other
muscles, including the diaphragm; and, sec-
ond, the emotions or ideas which give rise to
laughter.

Certain. animals pomess both these essen-
tials. The gorilla possesses the facial mus-
cles, and Darwin claims that various monkeys
have them. All the mammalia, in common
with man, have the diaphragm, which is ca-
pable of rapid relaxation and contraction as
well as spasmodic action. The chimpanzee
is said to smile. The smile of the titi monkey
is a playful one. The dog can both smile
and grin, whether affect-ion or pleasure,
hypocrisy or cunning dictate. Dogs dis-
tinguish the different kinds of laughter; they
note distinction between that which is good
homered andvthat which is sarcastic. They
are sensitive to ridicule, yet not unfrequently
try to produce laughter in man, and deep is
their mortifiention if they fail. Romanes
tells us of a Skye terrier that tried to amuse
his master and provoke his laughter by cer-
tain tricks it had taught itself, and was
sulky if its efforts proved fruitless. An
ourang cutting in the London Zoological

gardens showed every sign of pleasure when ‘

its practical jokes excited man's laughter,
and Rev. Dr. ”Wood records the instance of a
tame jackdaW' who enjoyed the fun of boys’
games like leapfrog and tag as much as the
boys did themselves.

, BIRDS THAT LAUGH.

The parrot is a capital laugher. He laughs
at his own practical jokes. W'hitc, of Sci-
bonrue, speaks of the heart-mess of laughter
in the woodpecker. A pet magpie of Jesse’s,
he says in that incomparable “History of
Selbourne,” had a laugh that was so hearty,
joyous and natural that no one who heard it
could help joining in it. There are tales of
certain swallows who on the successful issue
of a practical joke played by them on a cat

pointed enemy very like the laugh of a
young child when tickled. Miss Cobbe says
the goose has, perhaps, the keencst apprecia-
tion of humor of any animal, unless it be her
own, arch enemy, the fozz. And she illus-
trates this amertion by the narrative of a
practical joke played on a number of pigs by
a flock of geese.

geese biting at them with their bills, simply
to frighten them, and that tho geese might-

As it is true that certain animals possess
the physical qualifications for laughter, so

I also is it correct that they possess all the ap-

paratus for shedding tears. The dog, horse,
elephant, bear, cat, donkey, mule, various
deer, soko, chimpanzee, mandril, titi, or
other monkeys or spa, cattle, camel, giraffe,

streamed out of his eyes." Dr. Living-stone
records the instance of a young soko, which,
if not taken up in the arms like achild, when
it desired and appealed to be so carried, en-
gaged in the most bitter humanlike weeping.

A HEALTHY SWEET.’ _.

POSSESSING 300 TIMES THE SWEET-
ENING POWER OF CANE SUGAR.

“'11:“: the lilagiclans of Chemistry Have
Found in Gas Tar—A Sugar Not Sub-
ject to Fermentation-Some of Its Prop'
ertics—Uscfulncss.

Chemists seem to be persons who most
thoroughly appreciate Lord Paimerston’s
domestic philosophy that “dirt is only matter
in the wrong place." A few years ago gas
tar was considered the very essence of dirt
and was daubed on the walls and palings of
orchards to prevent mischievous boys climb-
ing over them, on the stems of trees to keep

cattle off them and was poured down sinks

and drains to poison rats or drive them away
in disgust. But of late the chemists, who
have always been the real magicians, have
converted this evil smelling, sticky debris of
the manufacture of coal gas into almost in-
numerable wonderful and exquisite colors,
perfumes, codiments and drugs, which not
only counterfeit, but often outrival, the
choicest products of nature. Some of the
condiments and medicines are among the
greatest surprises of the present moment, and
much interest has been excited in the minds
of many persons by the reference to one of
them, known by the name of saccharine, by
Sir Henry Roscoe in his recent presidential

. address to the British association at Man-

chester.
snxzovi. sonrnomq Imus.

Saccharino is not a more chemical curios-
ity, but is an article of commerce, though at
present it is a somewhat expensive one, but it
will no doubt soon become cheap and plenti-
ful if a large demand- rlses for it. Saccha-
zinc is a white crystalline powder, very like
finel y powdered sugar, and possesses 300 times
the sweetening power of cane sugar. It is
not a food like sugar nor a drug like glycer-
iue, but a simple sweetening condiment,
which passes through the human system un-
changed, and without, as far as has yet been
ascertained, producing any sensations ex-
cept that of sweetness to the palate, and
without evil consequences of any description
whatever, . even when given in daily doses
which are equivalent in sweetening pOWer to
three pounds of cane sugar. The scientific
name of this curious substance is benzoyl sul-

’ phonic imidc; and, in addition to its flavor-

ing qualities, antiseptic properties are
claimed for it, so that it has no chemical
affinities to the sugars or carbohydrates, and
cannot be broken up by the organisms which
produce fermentation; hence the possibilities
of its use for various domestic purposes can-
not well bo exaggerated It will also become
a valuable adjunct to the druggist inthe
preparation of some medicines, and to the
nurse in the preparation of foods for the
sick; while it will be an important adjunct
to the physician in the treatment of obesity
and doibctes.

The sugar of fruits is, however, in a state
for immediate assimilation; but cane sugar,
which has so largely superseded fruit sugar
in our diet on account of its greater sweet-
ness, has to undergo preparatory changes in
the system before it can be assimilated, and
the imperfection or failure of these changes
constitutes a series of diseases, such as indi-
gestion, acidity, gout and rheumatism, which
are among the chief ills that human flesh is
heir to. It is only medical men who are
familiar with this class of ailments who can
fully appreciate the advantages which are
likely to result from the discovery of a con
dimcnt which shall satisfy the natural crav-
ing for sweetness, without the evil results
which have hitherto attended its gratifica-
tion by cane sugar.

SOME OF ITS PROPERTIES.

This new coal for product, saccharine, un-
fortunately for those who spend their time in
seeking out new and “intense" sensations,
and who may be eagerly looking for'ward to
the pleasure of multiplying their taste for
sweets three hundredfold, is only slightly
soluble in water, and when tasted in the pure
state is so potent as to deaden the sensibility
of the tongue by its intensity, as bright light
deadens the sensibility of the optic nerve, so
that it does not at present promise toadd
much to the joys of childhood, English
schoolgirls, or to American young 1 dies.
In this respect it- resembles vsnilin, another
recently discovered derivative of coal tar.
which in a well diluted state is superseding
the natural vanila as a flavoring material,
but which at first was nearly stranded by
being used in a too concentrated form.

hia’ccharinc is, however, soluble in dilute
solutions of carbonate of soda, and it has

.en made into lozenges with this substance,
which allows of its being used for many do-
mestic purposes, such as sweetening tea (one
grain of saccharine being sufficient for a cup
of tea) and of being carried in the kit of
soldiers and travelers as a highly concen-
trated substitute for sugar. It is also soluble

will be highly acceptable to medical men,
and possibly to the manufacturers of wines—
artificial wines, we mean, of the gooseberry
champagne description. The teetotalcr will
hail the substance with delight when he
learns that it cannot be converted by fermen-
tation into poisonous liquors; and the house-
wife will see in it infinite possibilities of use-
fulness and economy in its powers to preserve
as well as sweeten jams, “sweets” and confec-
tionery, nnd,_not the least of its advantages,
the ease with which it can be kept under lock
and key, and the small space it will occupy
in the storcroom. It is obvious that the ap-
plications of this new kind of condiment are

almost infinite, and we fear the reports we

receivo0f it are almost too good to prove
true. —Saturday Review.

 

 

How 10 Make Japanese Fans.

"Where did you get that lovely Japanese
fan?" asked one young woman of another in
an uptown flat.

“I made it,” was the reply. “I first visited
several stores where they keep wall paper
and asked the salesman for samples and any
small pieces they had on hand. They refused
to take pay for them. I took all kinds to

. make it look as odd asposible, for it is a

 

species of crazy work. The reds are the
mes: effective colors, and they make the fan
look more like genuine Japanese work. I
cut the wall paper up into small pieces of
various shapes. Then I took an old newspa-
per and spread it out on the table and
wished.”

“Posted whatl’

“Posted the pieces of wall paper on to the
newspaper. The effect when finished isas-
ton ishing. The different styles of paper con-
trast with some and blend with others so as
to make a novel design. When all the pieces
are put on and before the paste is entirely
dry the paper must be folded in the back and
forward style, as you would make an im-
promptu fan from a programme in a warm
theater. Then put weights on the paper un-
til it is perfectly dry. When they get dry
one edgl is tied with a large bow of ribbon
and the other edge spread out fan shape.
Then they are tacked on to doors, over man-
tels, in front of fireplaces or over bare spots
on the wall. The folds give thcin a graceful
look and they bar..- a very pretty decorative
cfl'ect.”—.\'ew York Mail and Express.

Four Civilizmg nurses.

In the development of the race Mr. Mat-
thew Arnold recognizes four great civilizing
forces. There is, he says, the power of con»
duct, as shown by England in her religion,
industry and love of public order and stabil-
ity; there is the power of beauty, pro-emi-
nent in Italy, where the common people are
born critics of works of art, poetry and the
drama; there is the power of knowluige, po-
tent in Germany, whose people, without a
true and widespread culture, yet have a
clear sense Of “the necessity of knowing
scientifically" (that is, with accurate thor-
oughness) what needs to be known; and last,
there is the power of life and manners, of
which the great sample is France, where,
as Mr. Arnold and that fine observer, Ham-
erton, agree in testifying the general intelli-
gence is so apt and the general behavior so
courteous that the educated man may talk
with the peasant as with an equal—Harper’s

Good Word for Sewer Gas.

A bold writer in The Sanitary News has
a good word to say for sewer gas. He
thinks it is the outside air which contam-
inates the sewer gas with microorgan'
isms. “Sewer air,” he says, “has com-
monly been supposed to be ‘loaded’ with
micro-organisms, whereas, in reality, it
turns out to be some of the freest air from
micro-organisms that can be found."
Maybe he is right, but he will find it hard
to convince the housekeepers of America
that their fears Of sewer gas have been
gromullcss.-—New York Tribune.

: Infantile
Skin Diseases.

Our oldest child, how six years of nge,whcu an
infant six months old was attacked with a viru-
lent, malignant skin disease. All ordinary reme-
dies falling, we called our family physician, who
attemptcdfo cure it; but it spread with a'most
incredible rapidity, until the lower portion of ihc
little icilow's person, from the middle of his back
down to his knees, was one solid rash, ugly, pain-
fn1,b!otehed and ma'icious. We had no rest at
nigh1,no peace by day. Finally. we were advised
to tryihe Curicuns REMEDIES. The effect was
simply marvellous. in 1hrec or four weeks a com-
plete cure was wrought, leaving the little feiiow’s
person as white and as health y as though he had
never been attacked. in my oplnion your valu-
able rcmedics saved his life. and 10-day he is a
strong, healthy child, perfectly well, no repetition
of the disease having ever Occurred.

horse car. The I
made in Worth ,4; by an Italian. who
proudly (:laixnst .- honor of inventing them.

 

Ills triangular shaped shop is over a black-
smith’s and ls reached by a short flight of
rough wooden steps that might almost be
called a ladder. In this small shop, with one
window, boot blanking stands are piled from
floor to ceiling. They are in various stages
of completion and in different sizes, some
being large enough for 'one,‘two or three
chains, so that a. purchaser may buy accord~
ing to his means. They range in price from
8:3 for a pine wood, painted, single chair
stand, as high as $40. But, of course, no
hightoued bootblack would buy a‘i‘iL’ affair.
He would aspire to one made of mahoga: y
and brass mounted, which would cost him
88 or $10.

Zinc is going out of fashion as a covering
for the top, and brass is taking its place. A
stand large enough for three chairs was in
process of construction, and when finished
will be sold for 330. It contained three lock
drawers for brushes and blocking, besides a
money drawer, and will have a brass top and
trimmings.

The genial inventor is a good looking Ital-
ian about 50 years of age, who has been in
this city six or seven years. He seemed
pleased to talk of his work, but deplored the
fact that four or flve men who had worked
under him had set up similar workshops, so
that he has not so many orders 'as formerly.
He unlocked the door of a small office and
showed some designs for the foot rests.
There were stately camels, fierce looking
lions, ponim and soldiers, but the most origi-
nal was a cavalier on a prancing charger
framed ins. horseshoe. These are the Ital-
ian’s own designs. He buys achild’s toy,
twists it to satisfy himself and adds to it or
takes away until he is suited, and carries it
to the foundry, where it is cast in iron for
him—New York Evening World.

 

A filexican Dandy.

Yonder goes the dude of Yantepec, a
wealthy young sugar planter, whose ancestral
acres stretch away beyond the limits of
vision. He bestrides a. prancing steed, whose
pace is here known as “single step," and the
gorgeous saddle and trappings that cover the
animal almost out of sight must have cost a
moderate fortune. Observe how gingerly he
holds his gold head-2d whip, and how the big
diamond sparkles in the end of it! See his
pearl inlaid revolvers protruding from the
mash of crimson silk which his short, black
jacket imperfectly conceals. His pautaloons,
tight as two candle molds, are decorated
with double rows of genuine half dollars up
the outside seams, set on so closely as toover-
lap‘and braid together with gold cord. The
pointed toes of his tiny shoes are thrust into
silver stirrups of enormous size, and from his
heels dangle silver spurs that, ten to one, out-
Weigh his feet. His great sombrero of white
felt has a gold cable, large as your thumb,
wound around and around it, and its broad,
thick brim bears also a heavy arabssque of
gold. His horse is so perfectly trained that
the rider never uses the rein, but leans slight-
ly to the right or left to indicate his wish.

The moro, or groom, who rides behind at a
respectful distance, forms an admirable foil
to the gorgeousness of his master, whom he
constantly eves with an air of excessive
pride and dignity, as one who says, “There
he goes; just look at him! Isn’t he a daisy!
His hacienda covers a thousand square miles,
and that white sombrero cost a hundred dol~
lax-s if it cost a cent."—Mexico letter.

Moral Eflccts of Cleanliness. _

It is proverbial that cleanline- is next to
godliness, but a. clean skin and a clean shirt
tend also to calm temper and to promote
bodily ease. Is it going too far to say that a
man or woman freshly bathed and cleanly
clothed is less likely to perpetrate any form
of dishonesty than one not so cleansed and so
attired? The writer think not. In support of
this theory there comes freshly to the writer‘s
mind the case of a man, the pink of neatnem
——“the glass of fashion and the mold of
form"—'who fell into the habit of periodical
and protracted sprees. For days before the
beginning of a debauch his close friends could
notea carelessness in his dress, an emission
of his daily bath. By this sign they learned
'to know when an outbreak was imminent.
His debauch might last for days or weeks,
during which time he would never changeln's
clothing. .

Suddenly he would cry :1. halt,an<l, while
still in a state of intoxication verging upon
oblivion, would bathe, shave, shampoo and
array himself in his best, and from that mo-
ment would again be a gentleman until an-
other erratic period drcw near. Who shall
say that if by some occult means he could
have been continually kept up to his habitual
cleanliness and tidiness of person he would
have fallen from grace! Not that the soiled
linen was the cause of the demoralimtion in
the beginning, but that the clean linen would
have helped him to combat it more success-
fully—Philadelphia Record.

 

.\ Culifomin Glass Factory.

Some time ago a number of Belgians
familiar with the manufacture of glass ob-
tained samples of sand at Los Angeles,
Cal., and forwarded them to Laramie for
conversion into glass. A sample has just
been returned, and the glass manufac-
turers in addition informed the Belgians
that the sand required 20 per cent. less
soda for conversion into glass than ordi-
nary sand. The Belgian consul is
authority for the statement that active
steps will now be taken to establish a
glass mauufactory in the vicinity of Lon
Angeles.—Chicago Times.
