CRAWFORDVILLE, GEORGIA, AUGUST 9,1889.
THE LUNATIC ASYLUM.
Some Interesting Facts About
the Inmates of Georgia’s Lu¬
natic Asylum, Number.
Etc.
There are 1,537 patients confined in
the state lunatic asylum at Milledge
ville. One thousand of these are
white, and 537 are black. Six large
buildings are required to hold this
great number, tho largest of which
500 feet front by 400 feet deep, and
three stories high. The other four are
about 200 feet front by 150 deep and
three stories high. The cooking,
washing, ironing, and in fact, every¬
thing is done on a large scale by ma¬
chinery To feed this great crowd the
following is a day’s rations: 10 gal¬
lons molasses, 150 pounds of rice, 00
pounds of lard, 125 pounds of sugar,
150 pounds of hominy, 300 pounds ba¬
con, 1,000 pounds of beef, 1,000 pounds
of Hour, 500 pounds of meal, 75 pounds
coffee, 00 pounds butter. This Is
cooked by steam and sent by small rail
carts to tho different buildings and
dummy waiters to the different halls
The harmless paitents gather about
great tables and are waited on by the
attendants, while the dangerous class
are fed in their rooms. IV. II. Scott,
the usher, lias held his position for live
years and in that time lias made 4,097
trips of ono mile eacli through the
main building, accompanying 13,575
visitors over tho halls. The engines
that runs the machinery for warming
and lighting the buildings pumping,
cooking etc., consumes 35,000 tons or
200 car*loacis of coal annually. The
legislature appropriates 35 per capital
per day to cover expenses of tho insti¬
tution, which by strict economy, has
been kept down to from 33 and a frac¬
tion to 34 cents. The building i,s now
crowded with patients, and it ls| , irn
possibie to accommodate female pa¬
tients onlv as vacancies occur !'i > u

rules in regard to the care of path gj
are very strict indeed, and a fine is
posed on an attendaht who speaks a
cross or snappish word, while to strike
a patient is a penitentiary offense,
Everything possible is done by the
officials there to detract tli 3 minds of
tiie patients from their unfortunate
condition. Dancing, base ball, bil¬
liards and pool are among the amuse¬
ments, while the convalescent patients
are permitted to spend a wliilo oaeh
day at Powell park.

Perhaps the doctors is right who says
that a great portion of the sickness in this
country is caused by the unplesant habit
of eating too rapuily. It is interesting to
Watch tho average citizen when lie geos
into a restaurant for liis dinner, lie
doesn’t seem to regard the meal with any
degree of fondness, but acts as though tho
eating of it is one of those disagreeable
duties which confront a mail at every
step on the highway of life. Ho attacks
the meal savagely, and you can hoar his
knife and fork rattling a furlong away.
Ho shovels the food into ills mouth as a
hired man shovels corn into a shelling
machine, and swallows it without chew¬
ing it. lie pours down a lot of lee water
when the meat is consumed, with a frau
tic endeavor to make it as indigestible as
possible, and when the last sad rites arc
over he rushes to tho cashier’s desk and
settles with an expression of relief man¬
tling Ids radiant countenance like a rain¬
bow after a storm. Tho stern physician
says that people should eat very slowly
and while away tho tlipo between bites by
conversation about tho weather, tho crops,
or any other cheerful subject. In this
way the days of their years of their pil
grimage may be many.
E. C. Causlon, proprietor of tho
ostrich farm tit Norfolk, dal., says
that ostrich raising in southern Cali¬
fornia is no longef an experiment—It
has proved a success. Ho cays that
tho price of ostriches is ft 100 a pair for
chicks and ftOOO a pair for breeding
birds.

Sanobh Tex., January 1 , lssu.
Gentlemen— 1 The Elliott Douglas Gin,

eleven years’ experience with different

Most easily managed, stiongiy built,

least, it is the best sample maker by far
anywhere In my knowing. I would re¬
commend it to any one wanting a porfoct
gin, and if they want mo to prove my
statements, let them come to my gin and

WELLS THAT BLOW.
Mr. Seaborn K. Halstead, living a few
miles from Ellavillo, comes to the front
with a new freak of nature.
In boring a well ho struck an under¬
ground current of air. The air rustics up
through the well as if propelled by some
tremendous subterranean bellows, making
a roaring noise ttiat can bo heard some
distance.
Horae of the hoys fitted a guano funned
over the mouth of the well ’and then plac
,-d a bottle over it. The air rustling into
the bottle made a noise not unlike a loeoin
tiye whistle, and could be he n I all over
the place.
One of his neighbors, Mrs •.!a 1 r Ron n- ;
son, has a similar well.
No reason has been assigned for lie
phenomena. Notwithstanding their
blowing proclivities, these wells furnish
an inexhaustible supnly of pure water.
