TEA AND TOBACCO INSANITY.
Their Excessive Use by Underfed People
the Cause of Mental Failure.
A report upon insanity in Ireland
which has just been issued enumerates
among- the causes of mental failure the
innntritious dietary of the poorer pop
ulation tending to produce anaemia
and constitutional weakness, which
favor the development of scrofulous
and neurotio disease and the immod
erate use of certain nervous stimulants,
particularly tea and tobacco.
"While the moderate use of properly
prepared tea," the report adds, "is re
garded as innocuous or even beneficial
in its action on the nervous system, its.
ill effects, when decocted or overin
fused, on persons who make it their
stable article of dietary are dwelt on
by almost all the resident medical
superintendents in their several re
ports. Undoubtedly the method of
preparation adopted and the excessive
use of this article of diet, how so gen
eral among our poorer population, tends
to the production of dyspepsia, which
in its turn leads to states of mental
depression highly favorable to the
production of various forms of neurot
ic disturbance. The excessive use of
tobacco also, especially among the
young, whether by smoking or chew
ing, in the opinion of certain of our
medical superintendents acts,' though
perhaps in a minor degree, injuriously
on the nervous centers."
In many parts of Ireland it has been
found that bread and tea have been
substituted for porridge and milk, and
for potatoes also; that the tea used is
generally of an inferior quality, and
tne method of preparation is to put a
quantity in tne teapot early in the
morning and to allow it to stew during
the day, water being added as .required.
His lip Gone.
M. M. Nicholson, who lives at the
corner of Outran and Anderson Sts., At-
lanU, Ga., had a cancer lor years.
It first Booeared on hi lip and resem
bled fever blister, but spread rapidly
and soon began to destroy the flesh.
His father and nncle had died from
Cancer, and he sought the best medical
aid in different cities, but it seemed im
possible to check the disease. Several
operations were performed but the can
cer always returned. This continued
for years until the partition in his nose
ana nis enure up

upon death as the

SQUELCHING A PASS FIEND.
The Agent Was Willing to Pass Him Out
of Town.
I called upon the general passenger
agent of one of the big railroad lines
running into the city, says a writer in
the Buffalo Enquirer, and was ushered
into his private office. He was engaged
in conversation with a gentleman
when I entered, and after a few min
utes of abrupt questioning took a small
book from his desk and began writing.
An expression of intense delight crept
over the visitor's face as his eye fol
lowed the agent's pen, and I imme
diately surmised that he was about. to
receive a pass. By this time two otner
persons came in, presumably on the
same mission. They sat down in the
opposite side of the office, and realizing
the situation cast wistful glances at the
fortunate man. The agent continued
his writing- and asked the man where
he wanted to go. '
'Make it New York city this time,"
responded the man, who had evidently
deadheaded before.
A few finishing touches were applied,
and the pass was handed over to him.
He thanked the agent very politely,
and assured him that h would not
bother him again. He examined the
ticket and started for the door, wuen
he noticed that it was good for only
oneway.
"Why, I guess you have made a mis
take," he said, in a, tone of surprise
"this ticket will-only take me one way."
"Didvou exriect to return? asked
the agent, unconcernedly.
"Well, I should say I do."
"All risrht, hand me your ticket."
The man gave the agent his ticket
and was astonished to see him tear it
up. "Well, if you're coming back you
can't get any ticket from me. I thought
I was gomg to get rid of you lor sure
this time." Without further ceremony
the chronic pass seeker took leave, and
the other two persons, having seen
enough, followed in his train.
BALM IN GILEAD.
The Bereaved Wife Had
Ere to the
Main Chance.
Eli Perkins tells a San Francisco re
porter that this is one of Depew's new
stories: Chauncey Depew's last story
was about a poor Peekskill fisherman
who was drowned in the Hudson river.
He fell into the river and sank. The
boys searched for him all day and
finally fished him out Then Deacon
Sanders went to break the sad news to
his bereaved wife.
With tears in his eyes he knocked at
the widow's door and said:
"I'm afraid I bring yon bad news.
John-"
"What! Nothing has happened to
John, has there? O, my dear John!"
broke in the widow.
"Yes, madam," said the deacon tear
fully. "John U drowned, and"
Oh. my John! My dear John
drowned!" sobbed the widow.
"Yes. madam he is gone."
"O, dear! have you found the body?"
"Yes, we found it.
"Whut state was it in?" asked the
widow, between her tears.
Bad state very bad. Eels got after
him. He was all covered with eels."
0, my dear John covered with eelsl
How many were there?" .
Over two hundred eels hung to
him."
"Two hundred eels on John?" gasped
the bereaved woman.
"Yes, two hundred."
"Two hundred! O. dear well, set

LAUNCHING
A BATTLESHIP.
It Is
a -Complex Problem and a Hllprhl
MUtake Would Cost Millions.
Albert Franklin Matthews tells an
interesting story of "The Evolution of
a Battleship," in the Contury. This is
a history of the construction of the In
diana, so far the only vessel of this
class we have in our navy. 1 After de
scribing the wonderful power of this
monster, the most formidable engine
of war in the world, and the munner
of its construction, Mr. Matthews says:
bo the building goes on until the
launching day comes, and two broad
ways are built up against the bottom
of the vessel, and the ' keel-blocks or.
which it has been resting are knocked
away. In the launch of th Indiana
Mr. roxon ran a row of electric lights,
beneath the bottom of the vessel, add
ing another innovation to the details
of American ship-building. Each
launching way consists of upper and
lower planking, between which is
spread thousands of pounds of the best
tallow. At the bow of the boat these
upper and lower planks are clamped
together, and when nil is ready they
are sawed apart, and the vessel starts.
The upper part of the ways slides inU
the water with the vessel, and the low
er part with the smoking hot tallow
remains stationary.
A launch In these days is so smooth,
and so soon ended, rarely occunvinrf
more than twelve seconds from start to
finish, that one scarcely realizes lU
difficulties. Three thinrrs are absolute
ly necessary; it must be on tim; wlsci.
the tidal water is highest; it mui.l
be of smart speed, so as not to stick on
its downward journey to the water;
and it must be accomplished without
straining. No complex a thing Is a
launch that tho careful engincr-ln
charge is able to estimate the strain
on every part of tho vessel for every
position It occupies, at Intervals of one
foot, on its way down the Incline.
There is one supreme moment. It is
when the vexed is nearly two-third in
the water. The buoyancy of the waU-i
raises the vrnxrl and throws its wrijfh'
on its shoulders. Here Is where the
greatest danger of straining comes.
and should the ways break down thr
vessel would be ruined, a matter ut
nearly two million dollars In a ship
like the Indiana when it was launched
The launch over, the machinery U

look the vessel over inch by Inch, the
fires are started and the trial trip fol
lows, t or four hours, amid supprem-.l
excltrmc nt that answers nervously to
every quiver of the vessel, the engines
are run at full speed. A premium or a
penalty is at stake now. The lrekair
of a bolt or the dUai-ran ire ment of a
valve may mean thousands of dollars
of 1m to the contractor. Trained
workmen are locked In the Orerootua,

DESPONDENCY.
Bad Mews
from Ills Home
Made Kin
Talk of Suicide.
The agreeable and studious life at
Valence was 60on ended, writes Prof.
Sloane in Century. Early in August,
1787, a little rebellion, known as the
"Two-cent Revolt," broke out in Lyoni
over an attempt to reassert an arwicnt
feudul right concerning the sale ot wine
which had long been in abeyance. Tho
neighboring garrisons were ordered to
furnish their respective quotas or its
suppression. Bonaparte's company was
sent among others, but the disturbance
was already quelled when he arrived,
and the month ho spent at Lyons was
so agreeable that, ns he wrote his uncle
Fesch, he left the city with regret "to
follow his destiny." His regiment had
been ordered northward to Douay in
Flanders, and there he rejoined it abou
the middle of October.
The short time he spent under the in
clement skies of that frontier fortress
was a dreary one. Bad news came from
home. Joseph had some time before
turned his eyes towards Tuscany for a
possible career. In order to test his
chances of success at court, he had
made application for an empty decora
tion. The answer to his request had
been a gracious permission to prove his
Tuscan nationality, which was, of
course, equivalent to a repulse. Utterly
without fcucccaft in finding occupation
in Corsica, an d hopeless as to France, he
was now about to make a final desper
ate effort, and, decorated or not, to go
in person to Florence and to seek em
ployment of any kind which offered.
Lucien, the nrchdeneon, was seriously
ill, aud lien. Mnrbeuf, the last influen
tial friend of the family, was dead.
Louis hud liecn promised a scholarship
In one of the royal artillery schools; de
prived of hln p;i Iron, he would probably
lime the appointment.
Finally, the pecuniary affairs of
Mme. de Buonnpurte were again en
tangled, and now appeared hopeless.
She hsd for s inie time received a state
bounty for planting niulU-rry trees,
France was Introducing silk culture
Into the Mhnd. Hie inspectors had
condemned the year's work, and were
withholding the allowance. Her letter
put an end for a time to all study, his
torical or political. Napoleon Imme
diately applied, aa his mother request
ed, for leave of absence, that he might
instantly set out to her relief. His
quest was refused, lie could obtain no
leave until January.
Despondent and anxious, he moped,
grew miserable, and contracted a slight
malarial fever, which for the next ail
or seven yritrs never entirely relaxed
Its hold on him. The pajrt sof his jour
nal for the rustling weeks show how
dispirited ba was, and contain, among
oilier things, a long, wild, -eiinlMe

THE GREELtY COLONY.
A Happy People and a nigh Standard el
rubllo Morals. It
The Greeley colony was composed of
the best elements of eastern citizen
ship; and the first and most important
lesson it teaches is that people of this
class are responsive to such a call as
Mr. Meeker put forth. He did not ap
peal to the instinct of speculation. He
pleaded for now institutions, and aimed
at high ideals; and he found that men
of culture and of . means were ready to
cooperate heartily in such ; an under
taking. , This fact lends encourage
ment to those who are hoping for great
things to come from tho development of
tho arid region.
The site of the Greeley colony, writes
W. G. Smythe in Century, was not
well chosen or, at least, it did not in
all respects meet the expectations of
those "who selected It. They were there
fore unable to realize all their plans.
TheySinado some serious miscalcula
tions. For Instance, they estimated
the cost of their canals at twenty thou
sand dollars, while the actual cost was
more . than twenty times as creat.
Fruit-culturo was mentioned in the
prospectus as certain to be an impor
tant industry, but the soil and climate
proved unsuitable. The - dream of an
improved household economy, baaed on
a plan for cooperative bakeries and
laundries, also proved delusive. There
were other disappointments; but the
fundamental claims of Irrigation wero
all vindicated at Greeley, as they have
been whenever and wherever brought
fairly to the test.
A few years of Intelligent labor
brought a high degree of average pros
perity, based upon substantial founda
tions. Even the severe panie of the
summer of 1SU3 did not materially dis
turb these foundations. During those
trying weeks, when mines and smeltefs
shut down, and banks and stores closed
their doors, water, soil and sunshine
continued to do their perfect work in
the Union colony. Oreclej seemed
like an oasis of prosperity in a desert of
despair. The farmers received as the
rewara ox me summers labor more
than a million dollars in cash for tho
single item of potatoes. But this is the
chief crop at Greeley, after the neces
sities of life have been provided for:
and the wide reputation and huudsonre
financial returns won for the Greeley
potato illustrate the wisdom of a sur
plus crop of the highest quality.
Ureeley'a civic Institutions are like
her potatoes. They represent the bes
standard available, and are the pride of
the people. To sell any kind of Intoxi
eating liquor within the boundaries of
the Union colony Invalidates the title to
the soil. This Is one of the origins) plans
thst worked well; and the schools.
churches, libraries and lyreums are all
in keeping with this high standard of
public morals. A careful study of the
development of Greeley, alike in Its
social and industrial aspects, would
throw much more light upon the prob
lems of arid Americas bat thla cannot
be catered upon now.

OKLAHOMA'S 1 'OPULATION
Consists Largoly of Ugrroasj
and Indians.

The growth of Oklahoma has been
one of the most remarkable in thrt his- '
tory of American territories. A few -years
ago it was a barren wilderness,
inhabited only by savage Indians and
lawless white men; to-day it is knock
ing at the doors of congress for admis
sion to tho union as a state. When it
Is 'dmitted it will have a larcrer Afro-
American population than any state of
Its size and population in the union out- "
side the southern states. From figures
furnished the New York Sun by Mr.
Peter Flynn Oliver, a reputable lawyer
of El Reno, who went to Oklahoma
from South Carolina a few years ago.
It is learned that the Afro-American
population numbers 06,000, there being
8,5() in Blaine county, 14,000 in King
fisher county, 8,400 in Lincoln county, '
10,000 In Logan county, the remainder
being scattered in all the other-counties.
The total property holdings of
these people is 8,353,380, divided aa
follows: 85,488,190 represented by 548,
819 acres of farm land; $27,400 repre
sented by town property, and 8837.7M
represented by personality. Comment
ing on these figures, Mr. Oliver says:
I he land in Oklahoma is largel
raw, and the price I place upon it is
extremely low. Huttlers have hardly
begun to build elaborately, and the
majority of the pioneers brought with
them no personality worth mentioning
save their teams when they first came;
some came even teamless. The person
ality valuation Is, therefore, very low.
If yon could have seen this barren
oountry, however, April S3, 1889, then
gone away and dropped down upon us
to-day, you would be wonder-struck at
the me tumor phosis. The dugout, the
sod house and the shock are being rap
idly replaced by beautiful and com
fortable homes for man and beast. !
"The estimates I have given you are
for Oklahoma, excluding other portions
of the old Indian territory. There la
a large Afro-Amorlcan population in
that portion of tho territory, many
it them worth their hundreds of
thoiiiiiuls of dollars. The Creek end
Seminole nations have more African
limn 1ml inn blood in their veins, and
Gov. Brown, of the Creeks, shows his
African more than his Indian blood.

The KickiiHH), the Kiowa, the Co-
inmiche ami the Apnehe lands are
likely to come in soon for settle

Uxin the Ave civilized tribes, who own
their lands in common. Then the
w hole Indian territory will have leen
swsilloived by the white man. Msy lots

The A fro-Americans have settled In
some parts almost to the exclusion of
the whites. Ijingstun City was founded
