Took mm a Long While See It.
A man who returned not long agn
ircan a stay of several months in Lon
don has some fnnny Btories to tell of his
-experience with British wit. 'Themind
of the Briton is solid, but slow," he said.
"ud when it conies to his appreciatioa
of a joke he can be trusted after a while
to get to it, bnt the process is slow.
This story is a capital illustration of
rhat 1 mean: One- day I went into a
book shop on the Strand and aeked for
Hare's 'Walks in London.' In America
the book is sold in one thick volume; the
elerk brought it in two. 'Oh,' I said, aa
Hooked at them, 'you part your Hare in
the middle, do yon?-
"I, sir?" he said wittr a bewildered
look; "oh! no, sir."
I saw he didn't see the joke, so 1
didn't explain, but bought the books nnd
went away. A week later I entered the
same shop. , As soon as the clerk saw
tne he rushed from the back of the shop
laughing vociferously, and seized me by
the hand:
"Good!'.' he shouted. "Capital; 'part
your Hare in the middle.' that's capital.

I had thought it was rather neat my
self, and it didn't take me a week to find
it out. either. New York Evening Sun.
Kindliest Not Appreciated.
A little incident that amused the pas
sengers in a Brooklyn bridge car the
other day would seem to indicate that
the semi-tougii young man with a baby
in his, arms does not appreciate polite
ness. As the semi-tough young man is
seldom seen carrying a baby it might,
however. be, hard to prove the rule.
But this one was carrying a baby, and
the tired looking woman with him was
lugging a bag that looked twice as
heavy as the baby. The woman was
the first to -see the only vacant seat in
the car and dropped into it. And then
a dapper young fellow who had been
reading intently looked up. and his gaze
fell first on the baby.
He apparently didn't notice that it was
a man holding the infant, for he jumped
up; lifted his hat, and said, "Please take
my seat, madam." The fellow with the
child scowled, but all he said was: "If
' .yer speakin' to do kid, dat's all right,
but if yer speakin' to me I'll smash yer
face. See?" And he stood up all the
way over, looking as if he felt much in
stil tetk New York Times.
Mohammed's Descendants.
To find families of an antiquity at
once remote and certain we must go be
yond Europe and seek them nearer the
cradle of the human race. Mohammed
died in 633. leaving nine wives and only
jne child, his daughter Fatima, who was
married (as several other ladies were) to
Ali, the prophet's first convert and chief
lieutenant. From Fatima have descend
ed the numberless sultans, ubbles, cher
ifs, kings and emperors who, ever since
the prophet's day, have constituted so
important a part of the ruling class in
the world which he organized. Today,
after the lapse of thirteen centuries, it is
the blood of the prophet that constitutes
the title to nobility in the several coun
tries of the east.: Chicago Times.
The Earliest Lens.
The earliest known lens is one made
of rock crystal, unearthed by Layard at
Nineveh. This lens, the age of which is
to be measured by thousands of years,
now lies in the British museum, with its

maker's . hands. By the side of it are
very recent specimens of lenses which
have been ruined by exposure to London

The only real work of art in copper
that now exists in India is the casting of
Hindoo and other images for religious
purposes. These are, of course, mostly
to be found in old temples. Almost all
the temples which can really claim an-J

which are the perfection of art, and
which, with all the assistance of ma
chinery, could never be excelled or even
imitated by European cities. '"'. . ' .

Women Lobbyists.
Women lobbyists? They are few and

aiont the Capitol will tell yon that ex
Speaker Reed moved the ladies' reception
room from its old quarters nest the ways

uary hall, because in the former place
a dark corridor inclosed for the purpose
the female lobbyists were so thick and
bold as to bring scandal npon congress.
But this is not true.. . Women of all sorts
congregated in the old room, as they do
now when congress is in session, in stat

lobbyists.
They are women of all sorts innocent
yonng girls, mature matrons, coquettes,
designing dowagers.congressmen's wives,
daughters, friends, sweethearts. A ma
jority of them are poor creatures with
claims on other poor creatures, looking
for congressional help in their search for
government situations. Probably there
are not more than two or three profes

Origin of the Clearing House. .. ,
A corresiKJiident ' asks: "When and
where did she 'clearing house' originate?''
In 1775 the bankers of Loudon rented
a house in Lombard street and fitted it
with tables and desks for the use of their
clerks, as a- place where bills, notes,
drafts and other commercial paper might
be exchanged without the trouble of per
sonal visits of employes to all the metro
politan banks. Transfer tickets were
used, and by means of this simple plan
transactions involving , many millions
were settled without a penny changing
hands. The Bank of England and every
other . important bank in London are
members of c the Clearing . House associ
ation. The first clearing house in the
United States was established by the as
sociated banks of New York in 1853.

MANIAC AND DOCTOR
AN INSANE NEGRESS THROTTLES A
'PHYSICIAN IN A CELL.-
;
Dr. Dent, of Blackwell's Island, Nearly
Loses HI Life Timely Arrival of At
tendants Prevents a Fatal Result A
Thrilling Encounter.
Dr. E. C. Dent, superintendent of . the
insane asylum on Blackwell's Island, told
me of a thrilling experience he had with
a mad negresa. Dr. Dent has . been for
ten years connected with ' the asylum, .
has treated the most violent cases and
has had many narrow escapes from
death, but his battle with the giant
negro woman, be said, was the closest
call be ever had. ,
When Dr. Dent became superintend
ent of the institution on Blackwell's Isl-
land he abolished all the mechanieal re
straint apparatus, and be determined
that all harsh and repressive measures
should be expressly forbidden. His idea
was that in the treatment and care of
patients they should be made to - feel at
home and among friends; but in spite of
all the care and kind attention and the
endeavor to please the patients, there are
a number of the latter on the island, the
doctor said, who are as ferocious as wild
animals. These violent cases occasion
ally take advantage of the fact that there
are ho straitjackets or restraining ma
chines in the institution, and they be
come insulting and aggressive and often
times very daugerous.
The negvess was one of these cases.
She had been in the institution for sev
eral years and was incurably insane.
All the attendants and nurses in the
ward in which she was confined were in
mortal dread of her. and they were
obliged to keep constantly on the watch
for fear of a sudden attack from the mad
woman, whose name is Ann Kinney.
She is nearly six feet in height and very
muscular She had been a laundress in
this city, and during an altercation with
her husband she received a blow on the
head, as a result of which she became
insane.
"I was summoned to the acute ward."
said Dr. Dent, where 1 found the negress
in a terrible rage. She had driven all
the nurses out of the ward and the other
patients were completely cowed. She
was rambling about at will, brandishing
half a picture frame she had torn from
the wall. Her eyes were bloodshot and
she was foaming at the mouth.. When 1
appeared she became more violent, and
the other patients were crying out in
terror. She began tearing off her clothes,
and presented a hideous spectacle.
'There was only one thing to do. and
that was to confine the negress before
shecould kill. or maim any of the patients,
which', with her strength, she could do in
a few moments.. -There was do time to
summon other help, so 1 opened the door
and walked in.' The mad woman' made
a dash for me. and when within half a
dozen paces she threw down her picture
frame, which . was of . light . pine. . and
seizing a bench, which she broke with
ease, and catching up a heavy oaken
bench rung, she prepared to attack me.
I spoke to . her gently, calling her' by
name, told her it was all right, that no
one wanted to harm her, and to keep
quiet. This did notsootheher in the least.
"Thinking to catch her off her guard I
grabbed for the arm that held the bench
rung. My antagonist dropped the rung
and swore that she wonld kill me, and
to tell the truth 1 was a little afraid she
would, for I was only about half her
size. The way she chucked me about
the floor, picked me up and threw me
down again, almost took the life out of
me. She played with me as a cat does
with a mouse, but, strange to say, though
6he had me at her mercy, she did not at
tempt to beat my brains out with , her
club It all happened in a very few
minutes W hen she gave me a breathing
spell 1 appealed to her sympathies and
she calmed down considerably, and after
talking to her in a conciliatory manner
we decided to compromise. She agreed
to go to her cell quietly, after 1 had
promised to give her something to ease
the pain in her head. 1 walked to the
cell with her, in order to fasten the door
on the outside, 1 opened the cell door',
and as 1 did so she grabbed me around
the waist, lifted me from the ground
and carried me bodily into the cell, then
slammed the door. 'Now I will kill you.
sure,' she cried.
. "She imagined that it was I who had
hit her on the bead and had caused her
all her sufferings.. . Her powerful hand
was at my throat when the, attendants
rushed in and rescued me.: It was tho
narrowest eswrape 1 had ever had. She
was given au opiate to quiet her,'' while
1. more dead than alive, was carried to
my office considerably bruised."
..."How about the cases of rough usage
to patients that have occurred in the in
stitution?' 1 asked. . . !
; "In spite of all the care- and super
vision and under the most rigid disci
pline, it rarely happens that the patients
are roughly spoken to, much less rough
ly treated, by the nurse; but, of course,
attendants upon the insane, like the or
dinary --run of mankind." are not uni
versally ; sweet tempered, ; nor endowed
too liberally with that spirit of Christian
forbearance so - beautifully inculcated
in the Sermon-on the Mount.. ' ;
- f Wes-bavetoo few attendants here.
We should have at least). one for every
ten patients, but we have not half that
' number. The employes are overworked;
they are kept hnsy constantly from, i the
time they get -op. till they-.; go . to .bed,
with duties of. a. most .trying character.
They are cut. off for" the most part from
social pleasures, -and,, their sacrifices are
many foe -small r pay. But whenever a
case comes -to my attention of a nurse or
attendant caught in the act. of abusing a
patient there is an. immediate discharge.
The patients are encouraged to tell -their
grievances to their supervisors and phy
sicians, w bom t hey are-taught to regard
as their -friends and- -protectors, -and
their reports of -ill treatment are inves
tigated carefully when there la the least
