Nature kills egotism and con ceit. deals strictly with us and gives san ity, so that it was the practice of the orientals, especially of the Persians, to let insane persons wander at their own will out of the towns Into the desert and, If they liked, to associate with wild animals. In their belief, wild beasts, especially ga zelles, collect around an Insane person and live with him on a friendly footing. The patient found something curative In that Intercourse by which he was quieted and sometimes restored. But there are more Insane persons than are called so or are under treatment in hospitals. The crowd In the cities, at the hotels, theaters, card tables, the speculators who rush for Investment at 10 per cent, 20 per cent, cent per cent, are all more or less mad; these point the moral and persuade us to seek In the fields the health of the mind. Now and then a city bred person sneers at the country and If stranded in the heart of a stretch of nature un spoiled by the acts of man exclaims, “ Oh, I would go mad if compelled to live in this out of the way place!” Ac cording to Emerson’s keen diagnosis, the mind so steeped In the city habit Is already mad. The statistician is out with figures on hunting accidents and states that there were sixty-six fatalities during the first two months of the shooting season. I f the total number exposed In this manner could be ascertained it would then be clear which is attended with the greater risk—hunting or trav eling by railroad.

Iatuis himself, no mean perform er, took lessons for twenty years from Beauchamps, who wag called the fa ther o f all dancing masters nnd upon whom the king conferred the title doc tor as a special mark o f favor. Beauchamps had the honor o f ap pearing as partner with the king in the minuet, a dance which was introduced In 1650 In France, nnd no court ball was spened ig Europe for a century and a half without it. About the year 1061 a royal acad emy o f dancing was formed under the auspices of Beauchamps, Lulli, Moliere and others, the object of which wa-s to elevate the art and check all abuses.

Theodor Mommsen, the famous his torian, had not only the appearance but the manner o f a scholar. Once during the half hour's drive from Ber lin to Charlottenburg the car In which the professor rode went badly off the track. The rest o f the passengers alighted, the horses were removed and the stranded car was left until help could lie found. Mommsen remained, reading his book. An hour passed, and the sound o f levers and Jacks and the plunging o f horses’ hoofs aroused him from his reverie. With no sign of dls- compoeure he arose from his seat and went to the door.
