Insanity iu (he l'lifted States.
The increase of insanity in the
United Stales during recent years
is quite amazing. One is iuclin
ed to doubt whether the figures
given can possibly be correct;
Iml they arc officially authcnticat
ed. Statistics show that in 1865
Ike number of insane people in
the States was 24,042, a sinnll
percentage. In live years the
nn in her readied 37,132, and in
1880 the figures had grown to the
surprising total of 91,959. In all
probability the authorities have
had until lately a careless system
of investigation, and many luna
tics have escaped enumeration.

It is a notable fact that the peo

beginning to lie thoroughly con

If one bottle of B. B. B. is more'
valuable in effects than half a doz

not cure at all, it only proves that
B. B. B. is far the host medicine.
30.000 Holli s
of B. B. B. have been sold to par

Why this wonderful sale of a

with so little advertising?
It must be confessed that it i»-
because 1>. B. B. lias proven itself
to possess merit in the cure of
blood, skin and kidney diseases:-

its wonderful action upon the

“Malvina, that sass'l! burn,
sure as fate! You’d better stir it
yourself. City folks don’t know
nothin' about apple butler.”
At that. Mr. Billings liegan to
stir so furiously that a big splash
flew out and fell U|>cn his neat,
light colored summer pants. It
was hot beside.
Mr. Billings screamed, and in
his fright threw the spoon with
which he was stirring on the floor.
Now it was Jed’s turn. Pick
ing up the 6poon. he darted away,
cleaned it, and coining hack, pre
sented it to Malvina, with a low
boa- ami an "Allow me!” uttered
in such exact imitation of his ri-1
vnl that the girl herself could
hardly keep fiom laughing.
Billings, with a savage stare at
Jed, betook himself haughtily out
side. *
Malvina was alarmed in a mo
ment.
“There new! you’ve made him
and went in the front way, so no
one should know he had come.—
He meant Malvina should think
he stayed out all the evening. He
went into the parlor ami sat down.
No one was there and tbe room
was dark.
A window which looked on the
hack porch had been left open for
air, and through this came to
Jet’s pricked up cars the murmur
of Malvina's and his rival’s voi
ces, mingled with the strumming
of tl^ guitar.
Poor Jed gnashed his teeth as
he heard it.
“I should like to break it over
bis plaguy head!” he muttered.
After a little time, Mrs. Riggs'
voice was heard.calling her daugh
ter to come and go to bed.
As she and Billings came near
tiie parlor window, they stopped
a moment before separating, and
Jed distinctly heard the dandy-
say:
“At 12 o'clock, then, beautiful
Odd!” Jed heard him mutter.
"Where the deuce can that chair
begone lo? It’s very strange!”
He seemed lo reflect a little
then.
“I must have mistaken the
window somehow. But it can't
be far to the floor.”
He let go. There was a crash
that thrilled Jed's very soul with
joy, as his rival lighted first on
his precious guitar, and then
seemed from the sounds, to have
literally sat down in tbe apple
butter.
Jed waited for no more, but
stealthily drawing tbe store-room
door tight, he bolted it as be had
found it, and slipped up stairs to
his bed.
He had not been there long,
when Billings, finding he was
fastened in, began to halloo lusti
ly for help.

She, being tbe better man of
to lielieve that insanity has claim
ed and is claiming an increasing
number of victims,
life is run at a greater pace than
it was, and the pressure is greater
in consequence. Many organiza
tions give way under the strain.
It is said that the increase has
been most rapid in the Western
States, but no reason is suggest
ed. and it would lie deeply inter
esting to know why, for the caus
es which are in force there are
doubtless in force elsewhere. The
increase in insanity during the
ten years from 1870 to 1880 was
nearly 150 |ier cent., it is stated.
F'rom 1865 it is still greater, and.
though this is far from a subject
of jest, it may be wondered wheth
er, if the proportion is maintain
ed, it will not soon lie necessary
to calculate the small percentage
of inhabitants of the Western
States who retain their sanity.—

Ex-Senator David Davis tells a
story which may be useful as a
hint to stump speakers during the
coming campaign. One day,
while on the stump himself, he had
occasion to say: “I know no East,
no West, no North, no South.”
“Then,” said one of his hearers,
“you’d better go home and study-
up your Jcogerphy.” “It broke
me all up,” said Mr. Davis, “and
