The Crank.

The completes crank is a kind of collector of causes, and it is difficult to discover the principle upon which he collects them. A new religion and under-clothing and some Insipid kind of diet are all the same to him, and he advocates them all with equal earnestness. He wants men to change their lives in every particular add proteats against all the ordinary usages of the world both in great and in small things. He does not believe that there is any instinctive wisdom in mankind or any value in past tradition and experience. For him wisdom has only just appeared among men. and she has revealed herself to vbry few. —London Times.
