CITY OF THE INSANE
Happy and Honored Guests of tha

One of the most remarkable places
In Europe of whteh d tourist on pleas
ure bent ever takes notice Bays a writ
er la a Berlin paper is the City of the
Insane by which name Ghcel noar
Antwerp has been known for genera
tions About 1500 men and women
afllicted with insanity in all its forms
live there and have a happy being as
the guests of the1 inhabitants who
know by experience how to treat the
unfortunate ones In the streets in
the places of amusement the cafes
and workshops these patients may be
found and nowhere Is there the re
motest suggestion of restraint appar
ent The board ranges from 240 to
2400 marks a year and no matter
how small the amount may be the pa
tient is always the favored member
of the family lie has the first right
to the most comfortable chair and the
head of the table belongs to him lie
receives the most attention and this
he learns to appreciate and to endeav
or to maintain by living down his
illness Even the children know how
to treat the demented people The
dangerous ones are sent to another
settlement and to institutions It Is
wonderful how considerate carefif
and kind the simple people are toward
their charges and a peep Into the com
munity would probably terrify physi
cians who had never heard of and
could not appreciate the good which is
being done in this City of the In-

A RACE ON ICE
Trw Skates That QatyApay and Those
That Wore Hcovrd
Thackeray cite asked one of the
men who let out skates on the Ser
pentine whether he had ever lost a
pair through the omission to exact a
deposit and he replied that he had
never done so except on one occasion
when the circumstances made it al
most pardonable
A well dressed young fellow was
having his second skate fastened on
when he suddenly broke away from
the mans hands and dashed to the ice
The next Instant a thickset powerful
man was clamoring for another pair
He was a detective in pursuit of his
prey and a very animating sight it
was to watch the chase He was as
he had boasted a first rate skater and
it became presently obvious that he
was running down his man
Then the young fellow determined to
run a desperate risk of liberty The
Ice as usual under the bridge was
marked Dangerous and he made for
it at headlong speed The ice bent be
neath his weight but he got safely
through
The sheriffs officer followed with
equal pluck but being a heavier man
broke through and was drowned
His skates said the narrator of
the incident I got back after the In
quest but those the young gentleman
had on I never saw neain London

The Salt Sea Legend
There Is a legend In the Norse scalds
which explains why the sea Is salt
The bountiful Frodi whose mythical
reign was a golden age Indeed pos
sessed a quern or hand mill which
ground out gold and peace but which
would grind out stores of anything de
sired by Its owner Two giant maid
ens ruled over by Frodi were the
grinders In an evil day a sea rover
came upon the scene slew Frodi and
carried off the quern and the two
giant maidens who worked it When
the sea rovers vessel was right out at
sea he ordered the maidens to grind
salt At midnight they asked if they
had not ground enough The sea
rover angry at being awakened from
his sleep commanded them to grind
until morning Now the giant maid
ens naturally enough worked very
quickly so as they went on grind in
the load of salt grew so heavy that it
sank the ship and now the sea will
continue salt forever

Gathering Cloves
Cloves are now cultivated In many
of the tropical regions of the earth A
clove tree begins to hear at the age of
ten years and continues until it reach
es the age of seventy five years There
are two crops a year one In June and
one in December The tree Is an ever
green and grows from forty to fifty
feet high with large oblong leaves
and crimson flowers at the end of
small branches In clusters of from ten
to twenty The tree belongs to the
same botanical order as the guava
The cloves which are the undeveloped
buds are at first white then light
green and at the time of gathering
bright red Pieces of white cloth are
spread under tke trees at harvesting
time and the branches are beaten gen
tly with bamboo sticks until the cloves
drop They are dried in the sun being
tossed about dally until they attain
the rich dark color which proclaims
them ready for shipment
Cards and Their History
Cards are square shaped pieces of
pasteboard printed with various de
vices and employed as a business me
dium by money changers They are
usually mide up in packs of fifty two
one for eacl week of the year A good
many people play cards for pleasure
in which case their opponents are said
to be buying experience In most card
games the rule Is that the cards may
be cut but not otherwise marked This
rule is not strictly observed In games
In which only three cards are used
Indeed the marking of cards has at
tained a high degree of perfection
since the Introduction of numerous
card index systems Fashions change
In card games as in everything else
Old maid for instance is nowadays
seldom played In the best clubs Play
ing cards should not be confused with
score cards which are rather larger
the murdered man was a closer cal
culator even than his assassins for he
had previously poisoned a part of the
provisions that he might appropriate
to himself the whole of the spoil This
precious triumvirate were found dead
together
