STORIES OFJiUBATICS, DR. FORBES W1N8LOW TELLS STRANGE THINGS ABOUT THEM Tkelr Carl*** 4krrrH*M r !! ! Tfcclr nirur.nrr Ariiua. While ulfrlg fr.ui Tkclr !! !. During a long experience in lunacy practice tome most remarkalile cases have come under my personal observ- ation, writes Dr. Forties Winslow, the celebrated English expert in lunacy. Without mentioning any names, I will give" a abort account of Home of those which appear to me to be unique. One remarkable caae was a gentle- man who had a delusion that every dog that touched him in the atreet con- taminated him. He waa thirty-aix years f age, his disposition waa timid, sensi- tive and very Irritable ; be apparently had a good brain for business, but be waa very self-conscious. A few years before I saw him he bad distinct ideas of homicide, the desire being to kill some one. but this delusion left him. and shortly after he suddenly got a horror of dogs, and nothing be could do would rid his mind of bia dread. Every evening before retiring to reat he would look under his bed to see whether any dogs were secreted. He was constantly changing his lodgings, from the fact that dogs were more or lean associated with the occupants of toe bouse. Be received an appointment in the Inland Revenue Office as Sur- veyor of Taxes. But he found that some of the clerks who came to hi* office and worked during the day hart doga of their own at their home*, so that bis mind at once became unsettled, and in consequence be gave up bis ap- pointment. He went to stay at a hotel, but on hearing that the occupant of the room opposite his had a dog and tbat the chambermaid who made his room also attended to tbat one. he declined to oc- cupy the bed made by the chambermaid because be believed she must have touched the dog. The sight of a dog nearly drove him frantic, and if when walking in the street a dog happened to touch his clothes he went borne at once and changed bis suit, never to wear it again. In consequence of this be had many suits of clothes, some only worn once. His whole attention waa absorbed in this subject and be could talk nor think of nothing else. I advised tbat be should place himself in an establishment near London, 'but on going down to in- spect it be aaw the medical superin- tendent walking in the grounds with two small dogs at his heels. He at once took the train back to town. Since that time I have lost sight of him Al- together. A KLEPTOMANIAC. In April of this year I was consulted about a rather strange case of im pulsive insanity, that of a gentleman, a dentist, very highly CITOIMH teil. who. besides belonging to many learned so- cieties, was also a mem tier of several clubtt. among l.bem the Prince of Wales' Club. Kor some time com- plsints bad bxen made at the club of property being missed, and suspicion. for some reason or other, had fallen upon the person of whom I write. In ronsequent-e of this a few small marked coins were placed in an oven-oat in the cloak-room next to that of the accused. .Within half an hour the accused went to the cloak-room, put on bis coat and left toe club. The ball porter who had pjaced the money in the coat then discovered that the money had disap- peared from the coat in which be bad placed it. He went after him and found him in a restaurant close by. The amount of marked money was equiva- lent to a quarter of a dollar. He was At once given into custody and search- ed The marked money was in bis pock- et, in addition to the equivalent of li'i which was his own property, and show- ed that be was not in want of money at the time. The police officer who arrested him went afterwards to his house and there found two pairs of opera-glasses, one box of cigars, seven matcb-lioxes. eleven cigarette cases, fifteen cigar-cases, seven card-cases, a cigar-bolder and one to- bacco pouch, air of which were identi- fied as lieing the property of members of the club. The accused was a non- smoker. In addition to these a number of old used cheque* were found, which had passed through the bank and had been returned to the owner, and were con- sequently of no value. The manager of I he club prosecuted the gentleman with great reluctance, saying that he believed there waa no felonious intent Several witnesses of great repute tes- tified as to his character, hut I was the only medical expert called. I informed the Court that in my opinion be suffered from melancholia, toe result of repeated attacks of grip acting upon a highly sensitive constitu- tion. Inherited from bis father, and that It was necessary, in my opinion, that be should take a sea voyage and have complete rest. The jury having heard my evidence, found a verdict of " not guilty," as the act was committed while suffering from temporary insanity and therefore there was no felonious intent. VICTIM OF HIS PARTNERS. I was consulted with reference to a very iieculiar case by the relatives and frit-mis of an English subject who for some time had conducted himself in such a manner as to warrant my advis- ing his lieing placed under proper sup- ervision. I nad many interviews with his friends, and. after a thorough ex- amination of the gentleman. I advised that certain steps should lie promptly taken, cautioning them (hat unless this was done something serious mini hap- pen. As is often true, however, in such eases, the relatives wavered, writing to me that, inasmuch as he wa licit er. they would delay taking the slept* 1 had adiisad. Wit bin a few weeks of my exainina- tiii the gentleman received an iimt i tion from a firm of nier -hants in Hot - terdam. for whom for inanv vear* be bad acted as agent in Liverpool. Muat imprudent ly his relatives allowed him to proceed to Rotterdam unaccompa- nied. On his arrival there he was in- vited to call on the firm, and a paper was given him to sign, which he did He. was also entertained at dinner. It appears that this paper contained an admission of the fact that be was in- itebted to them for a certain sum of money. He was asked to call the fol- owing day, when to his astonishment. ue was arrested and placed in jail in Rotterdam for debt, the law being tbat if a foreign subject owes a Dutch sub- ject money he can I* arrested, should rw. put his foot, in Holland, and is lia- ble to imprisonment for seven years. The lawyer, accompanied by the un- fortunate man's wife, called on me and instructed me to go over to Rotterdam and interview the authorities there. I started the same evening and t he next day I called upon thane in authority. lint was informed that I could not le- rlly be hear 1 for at least two months saw and examined the accused in prison and sent my statement as to hi.* mental condition to the Government I also called upon some of the lunacy ex- perts there. I found that nothing omld he done, in the matter and I returned with the lawyer, and wife of the pa- tient to England. A few daya after my arrival I for- warded a letter to the Times news- paper, in which I gave full particulars. with the result that, much to my as- tonishment, the patient, bis wife and solicitor all came into my consulting room in London a few days after My letter had len translated into all the Dutch papers and so much weight had been caused by my interference in the case that they dared not longer detain him a prisoner. Upon investigating the accounts of the firm sulisequently it was found that instead of the patient owing the firm money, the liooks dis- closed the indebtedness of the firm to the patient. An important action for false imprisonment is now pending in England. The explanation of the whole matter was as follows: The patient was an im- portant agent of the Dutrh merchant who, having heard rumors that i bis intention to leave their firm and transfer his interests to a rival one. thought t nt the '.st thing they coul do. knowing his weak mental state, was to entrap him in the way I have just mentioned, but they were thwarted their plans and will dearly have to pay for what they have done. A CLERGYMAN'S Ll'NACIES.. A short time ago a gentleman called upon me and wanted me to examini his father, who was squandering his money very rapidly, having just got through lfi.iKIO A menUil expert w_ho had been called in bad given as t opinion that it was only a case of wicl edness from drink. I saw him the same afternoon, and on his table was a check for ^.000 which b was on t point of sending to his lawyer.wbo was playing into bis hands, to cash, son wan naturally anxious, as the prop- erty which was l*ing squander* would inherit on his father's decease, and in addition to thin he was alwut i marry. The history of the case as pre sented to me was as follows: The man was a clerpymap of Church of England and had met with an accident in t be hunting field in 1 injuring his spine Previous to time be waa in perfectly sound mind and always conducted himself n a prope-r way Some months alter accident be had a paralytic seuure.anrt it was at once manifest that his me powers had len impaired. In cot aurnce of the seixure his "*>'' rawn down on one side and he I difficulty in his speech. After this took no notice whatever of his affairs He kept no amounts and would iiuenily carry large sums of money about with him. . He would also order a quantity c furniture, for which he hid whatever Sometimes be countermano ed the order, while at other times he had great difficulty in doing so . 11 also sent borne large quantities of I fruit and other articles The food was given to toe dogs, but sometimes then was such a large quantity sent that even tb animals could not eat it. and they had to bury it. He i ben developed a craving for drink which increased in 1C89. and quently became intoxicated. His expel ditures had been very large, cowide ably over 110.000 beyond his income, whth was about $25.000 a year, conversation a: tni* time was very ram bling. He. could not talk coherently 1C any length uf time. In the *prjng <> I 11 he was taken to TunHrtdge Vrelis and after tbat to St. Leonards. j treated his mother, son and ttsUnwW general unkindnens and utterly glecied them. He also used very strange language towards them. HOT FIRES ON HOT DAYS. On some of the hottest days in sum- mer be would insist in making large fires all over the bouse. \\ bile at . Leonard's he wanted to walk '' ul during the day with rnily his nightsbn on and a dress coat over it. His son informed me that his memory bad l*en failing since 1H89 and that he was in the hatiit of putting his fingers in hu mouth and puffing away, under the n K-Ks-u.n that be was smoking cigars^ also had the habit of going to bed with all his clothes on. and would take up to his bedroom a red-hot poker in order to keep the fires lighted all night, even in the hottest weather I advised that be should be placed i an institution on the Continent, neai Brussels, where he would be out of t way of those who desired to encourage him in his ruthless expenditure and his delusions, which was evidently Ming done when I first saw bun The checl which be had drawn, and which be was on the point of getting negotiated. I managed to stop, and within a few hours I had him safely located in the institution A few months after tOM I had his property duly MVfcMiM W the benefit of bis son. wife and lamily, with a due allowance being made for his own maintenance. The case created quite a stir in Bug- land for it was the first case in which a Commission of Lunacy had i**n held on any one who was at the time of such inquisition out of the jurisdiction of the English courts. The commis- sion bad. therefore, to be held at the nra rest English seaport to the place in which the lunatic was then located The jury consisted of twenty-three im-mlsTs who beard evidence in the absence of the individual. I was the principal witness examined. The jury DavinC hrard my evidence anil that of the. dlatlngisbed foreign alienist who it tended, brought in a verdict of men- tal aOSOWtdlMss and inability io man- age himself and his affair* \t the elite of my visit to him in I ondon. just I previous to hid lieing placed on the Continent, tbe following is a descrip- tion of bis symptoms at tbat time: I found him in a stale uf great men tal excitement walking up and down the room. He seems to lie pleased to aee me, although I was a perfect stran- ger to him. He cordially greeted me and asked me to dine with him. He asked no questions as to the pur- pose of my visit. His speech was defective and his articulation impair- ed. His gait was unsteady, and to all intents and purpose* was like tbat of a drunken man. although be was per- fectly sober at tbe time. He waa, in j opinion, suffering from general paresis, tbe result of the' accident I have referred to. I disagreed altogether with the previ- ously expressed opinion of the other mental experts who had examined him as to the caae being simply one of in- toxication of a chronic nature, and my opinion proved correct, aa the case ul- timately turned out. The craving for drink, was tbe effect. not the cause, of the malady. At the time of my examination I considered that tbe disease had advanced into it.* second stage and that the result of the case was to my mind inevitable. I prngnoaed that he could not possibly re- cover from the malady, which was pro- gressive in its nature and gradual in the course of it.s development. From my rapid diagnosis at toe first visit and mv immediate action I was thus enabled to save tbe estate, from ruin, which must necessarily have en- sued had some steps like those I carried out not have been taken. HOURS AND WAGES. s>ilril r ike Purmrr wnhi llr rerlBf WHk ike I niter. Since fifty years ago there has been here, as well as in England, a great re- duction in the hours of lalor says Lip- pincott's Magazine. But this was accomplished for the pleasure of not the wage-earners ; it was acomplished be- cause experience proved that after a certain state of fatigue bad been reach- ed labor was unprofitable Tbe hours- may still further be reduced. A large volume of evidence baa lieen collected in tbe laat few yeara to show tbat production is even more economical with an eight-hour tban with a nine- hour or a ten-hour day Experiments in this direction are in progress If what ia claimed for tbe eight-hour day be I roved and it has lieen partially prov- edthe eight hour <iay will come int' general use But otherwise no amount uf ethics or philanthropy or Christianity will bring it in Men are always, even' i bere. trying to get all they can. ff t hey can get more by working ten hours than by working eight, ten hours they will work Wages have len largely increased in tbe past fifteen years, but this ia due purely to economic causes. Tbe " prin- ciple of Christianity which attaches an alisolute value greater than tbat of all earthly things, to a human lieing as such." has not induced any employer tc increase wages. It can be sho-vn that thia principle baa led to tbe improve.! condition of tbe laboring classes, bnt it baa done so in accordance with econo- mic laws, and not by suspending them or violating them, or substituting bene- volent for selfish instincts. Invention and the extension of the human con trol over the powers of nature have en- ormously increased tbe amount of pro- duct, of wealth, that can lie >r. iten by i he l.ilior of e.icb individual. This in crease has been distributed and the lalv- orer has got part of it ; it is not mater- ial to thia discussion whether he has lint his abare. or lens, or as some per- sons believe, more. The material fact is that, he has often lieen paid his in- creased wages out of an increased qual- ity of production, and not out of an accumulated fund of altruism No ,in, mini of >" iii.'s or philanthropy would have len able to pay him increased wages bad not some one's inveir.-, . skill enal led him to weave more yards of cloth and roll more poumLs of iron in a week than bis grandfather did.

II is a unique and subtle charm, whose meaning only those can know who have fallen under iu spell. Hyde Park, be H remembered, is tbe only great plot of verdure in tbe world " center of a great city. THE HOME._ Kitchen Odors. Few things are more disagreeable ban the odor of cooking which pre- vades tbe bouse, and which by moat housekeeperx ia regarded as a necessary >vil ; hen.-e tbe caae is never investigat- ed or tbe remedy considered. So many trifle* contribute to the unpleasant whole, that a atudy of the mbject must be mode in order to reach he source of tb trouble. Many peo- ple blame tbe iue of gaa or oil stoves, particularly when meals are baked in hem. for thia smell of cooking. This * mistake. An oven that is not lean or well ventilated, aa well aaune bat ia overheate 1 , almoat always gives 'o! th an unpleasant smell. Again it may be traced to burnt fat, wbicb es- capea from the pan, or if the odor is milted from boiling, it m usually due to tbe liquor boiling over from the sides of the pot. An entire absence of the smell of "king from any kitchen where culin- ary operations are guuig on i not to be expected, but it may be confined to tbe kitchen, and need not be allowed. as it often is, to destroy tbe appetite .f everyone in toe bouse. Perfect cleanliness in all cooking iHen- siLs, plenty of fresh ir freely admitted and a well-ventilated oven will teud toward relief in t he way of strong odors in tbe kitchen. Many tunes th* unpleasant odon are not uuoliy due to cooking, but are : in- lirectly connected with it. and add t (be sum total of foulneas brought out by tbe heat of tbe fire and tbe various >rocsaes going on. This may be sairt .f tbe refuae toft to aland about. uch as egg-abells. fish-bones, vegetable peel ings and decayed fruit, which should all he disposed of at once. It takes more time to attend to these things in tbe Iwgmninjf tban in the end. and the. result of doing the work at tbe proper time is moat satisf an tory . Small attentions of thia kind in tl kitchen, with th* free use of borax l< washing up, as well a* for pouring OflJ sink pipes, will aid gre*tly to keeping town -mells. whether from oven, bak- ing-pan, broiling-iron, or aoup-kettle. Four Excellent Ways to Cook Chick of pore oil of almond and throe eggs. Rub the butter into the flour, make a hay, add the aucar. spice* and ammonia; then add the eggs, work ihe.m well into the, sugar, then draw in the flour and mix.

At St. George Hospital. London, the inaugural address waa delivered by Dr. Geo.D. Pollock, who, after narrating tbs early history of the institution, said it was rebuilt ia 1834. when sanitary sci- ence waa not so well understood as it was to-day. Tbe defects of the building as originally constructed, therefore, had been a source of constant expense, and though every effor thad been made to secure sufficient sanitation there were still some drawliacka which h* hoped might be removed by the rebuilding and considerable extension of the hospital in the direction of Hyde Park Place. The lecturer- proceeded to impress upon the student the importance of consider- ing temper and temperament in deal- ing with patients, and strongly urged upon them the necessity of having re- gard to idiosyncrasies. A relative of bis could not partake of rice, one of the must innocent products of the vegetable kingdom, without most alarming symptoms. Some friends, wish- ing to test the mater, had some bis- cuits prepared with but a single grain of rioe in each one. His relative par- took of two or three of these biscuits, and. becoming uncomfortable, left Uw table, declaring tbat if be were not mor- ally certain that be had not partaken of rice he should say he bad txwn poi- soned by it. He bail beard of a case in which a man could not eat goonetierries) without a certain rash manifesting itself, who. at a fashionable partv, soon after the champagne had lieen handed round, pulled up his sleeves and showed a friend that particular rash appearing. What applied to gooaelierries applied to druga. and doctors should Iw careful of prescribing those which the patient said did not agree with him. Lord Byron, in one of his conversations with Laxly lUessington, remarked that medi- cal men did not attend sufficient Iv to idiosyncrasies, and thought tbat what had cured one man would cure, another with a similar disease Lord liyron was an acute olwerver. and judged rightly. although he expressed himself in an ex- aggerated manner in regard to idioayu- ling water, and a few f. 3 liked.

An Indian Railroad. An account appears in a London paper of a mountain railroad of some special features from a scientific point of view lately completed by tbe British Gov- ernment. the route being through the famous Holan Pass to the important post of Fuelta. It appears that some years ago a railroad was opened from the latter place to Sibi, but thia proved a complete failure on account of fre- quent landslides. The new road runs over the old one at the start and the finish, but the sixty miles in tbe mid- dle. which traverse tbe pass, constitute a abort cut, and have been ccinsl.ructed in i he face of extraordinary difficulties. The highest point of the line is at Kol- pur. sM-me 5.463 feet above sit.i. and seventeen tunnels, varying from 100 to 1.0(10 yarits. have been cut through TIM k or clay, where the foundation seemed surest.
