A patient brought to the old town loses that depressing title of charac- ter the moment he enters his new sur- roundings. Whether tho State Medi. cal Board controlling the classifica- tion or new arrivals sends him to one ot the upper districts where 'dam gorons' cases. according; to medical parlance. are kept, or whether he is at once assigned to ordinary Iodg. lugs. the Gheelcrs call him 'innocent' or 'friend.' Such words as lunatic. in. sane or madman are not in the town's vocabulary; common consent ban. ished them from conversation. and the rutsporinter0tnt of Schools told your correspimdent that his teachers never allude to expressions of the sort. The doctors' work ceases with the act mentioned. Knowing as they do each Iamily‘s capacity tor handling certain forms; of insanity, they dis. pom ot new cases by giving each madman the keeper his; peculiar con- dition demands, and there. as a Wen. eral thing. the matter ends. though tor appearttrwo's' sake. w sort of pro- fessional supervision is oreeasionally qzoreLsed. The Gheelers, them are tho real medicine men in this mental health recon today. as their ancestors wore botoro them. but their success not- withstanding. they remain simple- minded peasants as of old. Common sense is their strong point, and ma" cal science is so min-h out of chm line that there are not more than two native doctors in the place. On the other hand, they pride themselves on two never-failing household remo- dies. simplicity and patience. EACH FAMILY HAS l SPECIALTY. As to each family's specialty there are the tW:eons, tor instance. For the last two or three centuries thcy have made a specialty of taking care of epuepties, the experience gained in the treatment descending from father to son.

A The entrance at a lunatic in a Gheel family is marked by a tenet. A t blet with the word 'Weloome' in 'ich',', colors is hung over the street door, and all members of the house- hold dress in their best. Paterfam- illas, styled 00m (uncle) for that oc- casion, introduces the new-comer as a distant relative, cousin or brother, and the reunion is celebrated with many cups that cheer after the man- ner of the country. In the evening neiqlnxn-s "all. who keep up and em. uhasize this delusion. which hence- forth and for all practical purpom becomes a fact. ALL THE LUNATICS WORK. Immediately after breakfast next morning the trlend ls assigned to an occupation in his, Oom's homhold. the shop, or on hls farm. the choice of duties being left to him. He accom- panies his pseudo brothers, slaters and couslns, among them usually sev- eral afflicted like himself. to the scene ot usefulness, and all begin to work In earnest and some trlendtg are encouraged to sing and to play practical jokes on their comrades, but the sane among the latter never repay in kind. At noon all return home, Where a. bountiful meal awaits them. For the newcomer there are tit-bits, and 00m pulls him into a corner for an extra drink; in short, everything is done to make the friend llke his new surroundings. Yet, this indulgence never goes far enough to permtdls- penaation from work. Six to eight hours or manual labor is the mini. mum, and it a friend doesn’t take kindly to It, he is persuaded by the Beer Oom’s mttcrnal authority or by pmnts in kind or in money. Many lunatics like to work sporadi- cally. but that won't do at all. Gheel'a doctor-population knows that its earliest crazy settlers got cured, with St. Dympna'a aid, by working tor their living at tarming, house- buiidlng, etc., and with the persever- ance that is one ot tho chief char- acteristics ot the Flemish character, 'chronic lzizybones are barred from. the resort. ‘We can't cure loatera,' they any. tet them go to an asylum. We don't want hopeless cases uttleas they can be made useful in a war' Two hundred ot Gheel‘s lunatic population receive regular wages from their keemrs. and have money tn the savings bank; five hundred more earn their tobacco and drink. ing money. Among those paid in kind are numerous women who re- ceive premium in the shape ot jew- elery, trinkets. ribbons and the like. Aside from their regular employ- ment the friends enjoy almost unre- stricted liberty. They may visit saloons. and if one announces his intention to travel, the Landlord wiiiingly helps puck his grip and send him to the station with many good wishes. The ticket-seller, of course, recognizes his customer. and sells him either " worthless ticket that the ticket-taker confisvntcs, or keeps him waiting until the train is gone. The. su'tloon-trtyclrcr follows a sitn:lar mode of conduct. He has always one glam of beer. or wimn or schnapps tor a friend, but no more. " We have just run out: ot the stuff. and the next barrel won't he tapped till to-mnr- row." The Wlluh,‘ population works hand In hand to give the insane the illusion ot helm: vntlrely unrestricted, and these unhappy people stop yearn- ing tor their liberty Momma! it 30mm always at their elbow. The result of this treatmmlt. or ab, 214100 ot treatment. is astonishing.

' Why,' they said, ‘ml the friends carry kuives, while :Lxm, sledge-hammers. hoes. ete., are their every-day tools. and yet the town mums have no record ot any act of violence com- mitted by a friend in two centuries: "Occasionally," said the townpas- tor. the Rev. Mr. HoogstrnetL'n, "we have in violent fellow. and then call in the assistance ot the children. A neighbor of mine Once had a friend guest who insisted on smashing all the available crockery every day or two. When persimmon failed. the woman gave him her baby to hold. the moment she saw an attack of frenzy coming on. "Mind your little sister well." she sald: "don't break it. or God will punish you." It worked like a charm, and though since then hundreds, of babies have been employed in the same fashion nope ever got hurt." - Other children are frequently used to help cure mischievous friends by assisting them in their crazy pranks and afterwards receiving mock pun: ishment tor the traubie they had taken. That works upon the inna- tic's leeiinga. and many have re- formed for the children's sake.

On the 11th September, 1697. the enemy attained a small wood, al. most under the guns of the fort, and having entrenched themselves, llt numerous fires and made consid- erable noise in order to lend theim. pression to the English that an en- trenchment was belng thrown up. This ruse was successful. for the GOV- ernor gave orders to fire in that direction, and Ibervllle, seeing this opportunity, effected a landing ot all his men and armaments from the slaps. Tho fort would now soon be Item. med in on all sides, and " were in- deed, strange. it a chance shot or fire-brand did not ignite the tim. bers, and the powder magazine were not exploded. Governor Bailey was holding a counsel of his advisers when one of the French prisoners in the fort gave notice of the approach of a messenger bearing a flag of truce. Ho was recognized as Martigny. The Governor permitted his advance, and sent a factor to meet him and in. sist upon his eyes being bandagedbrs fore he would 1xr permitted to en- ter. Martigny was conducted to where the council was sitting, and there delivered Ibcrville's message, demanding surrender. He was iu. stantiy interrupted by Captain) Smithsend, who, with a great show; of passion, asked the emissary if it were not true that Ibervllle had been killed in the action. In spite of Martigny’s denials, Smithsend loud. ly persisted in believing in Iberville's death, and held that the French were in sore straits, and only made the ;present attack, because no other ul. ternative was offered to desperate men to obtain food and shelter. Bailey allowed himself to be influ- enced by Smithsend, and declined to yield to any or Martigny's demands. The latter returned, and the French instantly set up a battery near the fort, and continued, amidst a hail of bullets. the work of landing their damaged stores and armaments. Stragglers from the wreck of the Hudson's Bay continued all day to find their way to the fort, but sev- eral reached it only to be shot down in mistake by the cannon and mus- kets of their own men. On the 12th, after a hot skirmish, fatal to both Sides, the Governor was again re. quested, this time by Serigny. to yield up the fort_to superior hampers. ”VII you refuse wi, will set tire to the plane and accord you no quarter." was the French ultimatum. “Set tire and be d----" to you y' PP. spgnded Bailey., 7 ...

He sent Mor- rison to carry the terms of cupitulu- Con. in which he damunded all the peltrlcs in the tort belonging to the Hudson's Bay Company.

"Little one, go and see If grandmother's ready to come to I knew I mustn’t disturb her. so I stepped so gently. along tiptoe And stood a moment to take a peep-- And there was grandmother fast asleep. I knew it was time tor her to wake; I thought I'd give her a little shake. Or rap at her door or softly call. But I hadn't the heart for that at all-- She looked so sweet and so quiet there, Lying back In her high armchair, With her dear white hair and a lit. tie smile That means "Sims loving you all the I didn't make a. speck of noise; I knew she was dreaming of little boys And girls who lived with her long ago And then went to Hcaven--she nad told me so. I went up close and I didn't speak One word. but I gave her on the cheek The softest bit of a little kiss. Just in a whisper, and then said this: "Grandma, dear, it's time tor mu." She opened her eyes and looked at me And said. "Why, pet, I have just now dreamed or a little angel who came and seemed To kiss me lovingly on my mee"-- She pointed right at the very place. I never told her 'twas only me-- I took her hand and went to tea. A remarkable thing about these creatures is that the larger part of the breathing is done through the skin. In (not. it in said that this supply of air Ls a necwsnry addition to that taken in by ordinary breathing, as the latter does not supply sufficient air to auppurt_lite in a frog. Another pccullur thing about the) skin of the frog is its powerful absorp- tion of water. Thiw is due, of course, to the numberlms minute pox-m with which their skin ls provided. It has been proved that a frog can thus soak up halt its weight of water in an hour. The skin of the stomach is most active in this way, and, at the name time. is most often in contact ttth moisture, such we mud, dewy grass. wet ground and leaves afford. As the skin porspires quite as freely as it absorbs, it, is easily seen why contact with moisture is so neces- sary. Besides the loss from evapora- tion, there is the stopping oi skin- ln‘eathing alro, incaum the skin has to be kept moist and sort, to absorb fresh air and give off used air from the tsystem. The soaking of water is what gives the frog’s rkin such a cold, mummy and unmnny feeling when handled. Ami it explains a strange thing. Though a lwullfrog were poked with " red-hot iron it would not feel it enough to move out of its tracks; for the moisture ou the ”kin forms a. kinzi or film of vapor between it and the iron.
