A Physician’s Bright Idea for Proving His Sanity. ~ He was the most interesting murderer I ever met. Before the erime he was a private in my company and squad, and even the captain thought him an excellent trooper. During his confinement in the post guardhouse, which lasted over a month, his actions were those of acute mania, so that the officer of the guard did not enter his cell and the cook’s police fed him by means of a chute from above, about the base of which the food had now accumulated. for he would go for days at a time without eating.

He was as restless as a hyena and paced his cell with a monotony of movement almost hypnotic to one watching him through the iron bars of his cage. When sergeant of the guard I would lie on my bunk and look through the small, iron latticed window in the center of the door that opened into the prison room and see him in his cell, where the view of his legs and Teet was cut off by the lintel of the window. Dimly through its iron meshes I would watch the slow, regular movemenss of his body as it passed from end to end of his cage, like a huge pendulum, beating in death strokes the time which elapsed until it must swing into eternity. In spite of the horrors which it suggested, this vision fascinated my attention, and if watched for long seldom failed to produce sleep, for the prisoner kept constantly crooning the insistent measures of a Mexican waltz.

All through the sultry night the sentry on number one couid hear the sharp click of his steps on the concrete floor of his cell, beating regular accompaniment to the accented notes of this recurrent strain. Before trial Davis, our surgeon, was ordered to examine the prisoner’s sanity, and I went with him. He was still pacing his cell and slowly humming ‘‘Sabre las olas.” 1t was during this very waltz, played by the Mexican orchestra the night of the ‘‘baile,” that he had brutally butchered Corporal Jenkins with a bowie knife, so it struck me as appropriate chat this same air should now be a monomania in his madness and control his brain. As he paced his cell he was beating time to the swing of the waltz ‘'with a pencil by way of baton. Davis asked the officer of the guard to have the prisoner brought into the general prison room, but the latter replied that the man was raving mad and that it was folly to think of letting him from his cell or of sending meh to enter it. Davis then asked for the key, quietly unlocked the cage and opened it. As he did so the prisoner wheeled in his promenade and sprang toward him. Davis stepped quickly aside and struck him a half blow behind the ear which felled him. Then we carried him into the general prison room, where Davis made examination, during which the prisoner wrenched for freedom with a nervous, weakening strength, as, assisted by a file of the guard, I held him pinioned ,to the floor. ‘‘The man. seems insane,” said Davis, speaking quietly to the officer of the guard. ‘“‘Does anyone kn&w the exact hour and minute at which the stabbing .of Corporal . Jenkins oeccurred?” )

*‘lt was exactly eleven o’clock,” replied the officer of the guard. ‘‘Sergt. Morrow stated in examination before the colonel that taps was sounding at the post just as he entered the dance room and that at that moment the stabbing occurred.” ‘““Were they playing ‘sabre las olas’ at the time?” Davis asked. 1 replied that Sergt. Morrow had told me they were. I had mentioned to Morrow that ‘Henderson raved constantly in this tune. ‘Ah, then!” said Davis, speaking in a low tome to the officer of the guard, ‘‘then 1 understand his case. This is a very peculiar case of monomania. The waltz, the dominant sound during the act of murder, will rule his waking hours day and night, for it was then the madness struek in and photographed it on the brain. In this form of insanity the brain acts like ‘the sensitive plate of a phonograph to regeive the ruling sound of the moment and will repeat it incessantly until the brain wears itself out. If the madnaess be complete there will be but one kreak; that will oeccur at exactly eleven o’clock, when the prisoner will cease humming the waltz and reenact the tragedy. Aftera few moments the impression of the murder will pass away, when he will again resume the waltz.” i I was impressed with the clear statement Davis made on what seemed to be a critical case. Lieut. —, officer of the guard, was also struck by it, for he asked if he should send the prisoner into hospital. ‘“No,” replied Davis, “keep him confined in his cell, and without being observed watch him eclosely about eleven o’clock for the completing symptoms. You can report to me at sick call in the morning.” “Then he replaced Henderson in his eell, who at once took up his musical promenade. I was detailed that nmight to watch him, and did so from my bunk in the guardroom. 1 had cautioned the trumpeter of the guard to warn me quietly when he left the guardhouse to blow “‘taps.” All through theevening I witnessed the same monotonous movement and listened to the same monotonous waltz, chanted slowly as always before. At intervals 1 would rouse myself and step outside the squadroom and stand in the cool sally)ort to assure myself that I wasawake wuy vision unimpaired, so drowsy would ] become under tbt effort of strained attention. I must fnally have

touched me on the shoulder and startled me. I did not see him enter, but could have sworn I was still viewing Henderson’s movements in the cage. : . , '

I placed my face against the lat~ ticed window, looking into his cage, which he = was' still mechanically pacing. Then, as the first note of “taps” sounded, he stopped and reared as quickly as a stag is startled when he first hearsa hostile shot that has struck wide and knows not whence it came. The waltz ceased, and in a moment I had all but seen the stabbing of Jenkins—then, as always before, the waltz again. In the morning I reported. It was clearly a case of acute madness, or no one who ever performed a tour of guard duty with Henderson had ever seen madness, but to our astonishment and horror the post gurgeon thought otherwise, and so officially reported. : '

The colonel was furious! He had in- | spected the man-—the man was madl He called up Davis and informed him of these facts. Davis replied, firmly: “The man is sane, colonel; and I so re- } ported.” “He’s not sanel!” the com- ' mander retorted. ““Why influence me | to stir up a ecivil murder trial, which ! disintegrates a command and disturbs i discipline? He should be sent to an asylum!” Ten years ago Davis would ‘ hdve expldained patiently and at length why he thought Henderson sane, but since those callow days he ’ had once offered gratuitous information to a superior in command, 8o he | said,simply: “I'mnotinfluencing youto anything, colonel, unless it is per- i mitting you to do your duty by doing i mine.” Davis spoke with the gentle | firmness of one struggling to be respect- ' ful, and showed the effect of sevex‘ei staff training in duty.untainted by the | despotism of absolute command. The | word ‘‘permitting” had been delicate- I ly chosen and passed below the colonel’'s guard. ‘*‘That will do, doc-‘ tor,” said the colonel, stifily, his color rising as Davis left the office. Even 1 after Arizona service has killed your | respect for-a man his opinions are still | entitled to it, for they are the result l of experiences that have cost the man. Yet my faith in Davis weakened. I% | takes more than five years confidence l in a human being to outweigh our | own fallible deductions, even on subs ‘ ject.of which we are variously igno-' rant. The egotism of being rationall is so pleasingly pleasant! Still the | the colonel sent Henderson to civil ‘ trial and bullied Davis in the hope that he would stop it. j ! The trial was held near the post and i many attended it. Before it proceeded to the arraignment the court sum- ' moned Davis for an opinion. Again the same reports he had made so con- l fidently to the colonel. Every one was ' dissatisfied and the court proceeded to l trial.. The colonel again called Davis | up. “Davis,” said he, bluntly, *“this ! has gone far enough. I was a witness | in that man’s case to-day and the man | is mad and the court and everyone | knows it except you, who of all persons should know it. From the testimony the jury must convict, which means the man shall be hung. Idon’t want a-man of my regiment hung unless I'm copvinced that he deserves it. Now stop your professional stubbornness and request some one in consultation before the verdict. Would you have a crazy man hung?” s - “The man’s as sane as you are, colonel; and even granting he is not—! which I don’t—the class of insanity which he affects, if real, would be subsequent to the act, so he would be punishable whenever reason or a lucid interval reappeared. - 1t would be only 1 a little too kind to hang him now, that | is all,” replied the surgeon. So the 1’ trial concluéed and Henderson was | sentenced to be hanged. On petition% of the jury the judge granted a stay of | execution until medical experts could | be summoned from San Francisco. ] These, after consultation with Davis, ! pronounced the prisoner sane. ' During the week before the day set for his execvtion Henderson confessed his feigned insanity to me while I was [ taking him some tobacco, and said that | he felt kindly toward everyone for his treatment in trial except that post surgeon, whohad played it on him that | he might hang. *“lf I only had myl liberty long enough to kill Davis,” he said to me one day, ‘“l’d die happy.” He said that I had been good to him; I . had fetched him some clean clothes and tobacco, and that he would re- 1 ward me. “Then he outlined how he had killed a Mexican miner near Lag 1 Cruces, three years before, but that he had robbed him of but half of his! buried gold and that he had intended | to return for the balance and had never done so. Thed he gave minute directionsas to place and exact locality | and amount of the buried treasure. :

‘*Henderson,” I asked, when he had finished, ‘‘are you still crazy, or are you only lying?” ‘“Neither,” he said, simply. ‘“As I mount the scaffold I’ll incline my head toward you, which is to affirm, in the preseace of eternity, that I speak the truth.” 3 .

The day :before the .execution he told me that he had forgiveneveryone, even Davis, who had -only done his duty, and to tell him that now he invited him to come and see him hanged. After my discharge I actually went from Deming up tq Las Cruces and followed the rascal’s directions, but found no buried money, though old Perez had been murdered, as stated. Shortly afterward I met Dr. Davis and told him of my case. He laughed pleasantly and then I asked him, “Doctor, would you mind telling me how you could be 8o certain that Henderson was not really insane?” “Why, you . .should know that,” he said, with a slight twinkle. ‘You helped me establish the fact. Do you recall that I gave you a diagnosis of his case before his cell and had you placed on guard to observe the completing symptoms?” . ‘Yes, but he really showed them.” - “So would you had youbeen feigning insanity, as he was doing, and overheard me and believed, as until now you evidently did believe, that I spoke the truth.” : Inow understood Henderson’s ex: ‘treme bitterness toward Davis, who had duped him into self conviction.— George Osborn, in N.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS. PRETTY ROADSIDES. . A Wide-Awake Woman Offers Several ~ Sensible Suggestions. Now that the newspapers are agitating the subject of good roads, would it not be advisable to say a word in regard to roadsides? The city people advocate good roads, especially the bicycle element which is rapidly increasing. What shall we do with those who disfigure our roadsides by dumping all the refuse of their back yardsand pantries, consisting of broken crockery, old tinware, tin cans, etc., by the country roadside without .eave or license? One of the beautiful mountain roads leading from the neigaboring city, which has been widened and improved

[A Perfect Roadway Shaded by Beautiful . Trees.] at considerable expense to the town, as it is a popular and pleasant drive, has been made such a dumping ground that, although the trees grow beautifully on either side, one can hardly find a spot of ground which is not covered with back yard refuse. If these people who consider the whole country free, would dig a hole and bury such refuse out of sight, or dump it in a hole and shovel a little earth over it, doubtless nature would soon conceal their broken treasure. But at present, it is not a pleasant sight for country people or anyone else, and this practice should be discontinued. There is very little to encourage country people to beautify their roadsides. For instance, there is a case very near home of a farmer having about half a mile of land fronting a public street, who has taken a certain amount of pride in picking up all the stones and smoothing off the land by the roadside so that it is green and level. Too level, in fact,sothat people will turn down on to it and drive right straight up through past the front gate, cutting deep ruts, not only during the springtime when the roads are muddy, but in the warm weather if the roads are a trifle dusty. Of course, the people who do this have their own roadsides dug out in holes from which they cart soil to the barnyard, or covered with heaps of .stone picked up from the farm. 7The road is always kept in good repair, but there is a certain lawlessness about such things in the country that is-discour-aging to improvements, and exasperating to would-be improvers.—Alice E. Pinney, in Rural New Yorker.

ROADS IN EUROPE.

How They Impressed President Adams of Cornell University.

To 'an American visiting Europe there is nothing more. impressive than the general excellence of the roads. Their climate is more rainy than ours, and their roads, under the same conditions, would probably be even worse than those usually met with in America. But in England, in France, in Germany, and in Switzerland, everywhere one goes, the excellence of the roads is a constant source of surprise to one visiting those countries. During the last summer it was my fortune to take a long drive in the Alps. The party was made up of six persons. A coach was employed for the whole trip. We were thirty-three days in the coach, and during that time we went over four of the great passes and traveled nearly a thousand miles. But the matter of chief syniﬁcauce to those interested in good roads is the fact that, although we drove from twenty-five to fifty miles a day for -more than a month in these mountainous regions, the whole trip was done with one team of horses. No change was made, and none was needed. More than that, it was our opinion that the horses were in better condition at the end of August than they had been at the beginning of the trip, a little after the middle of July. Could there be any more significant commentary on the guality of the roads? , What would be the condition of a team of horses in midinmmer in America which had been driven over mountain roads at the rate of twenty-five to fifty miles a day for six days in a week?—C. K. Adams, President of Cornell University.

When to Cut the Corn Crop.

These conclusionsare deduced by Agriculturist Curtis, of the lowa experimental station: 1. The stover of a crop of corn reaches the highest yield and the best eondition for feeding at the stage of growth indicated by a well-dented kernel and the first drying of the blades. 2. The grain of a crop of corn reaches the highest yield and the best condition for utility at the stage of growth indicated by a well-ripened ear and a half-dried blade. The best time for securing the crop for both corn and stover would be at the stage of ripening between the above. 3. The loss resulting from stover remaining in the field under ordinary stalk field conditions two months after ripening amounts to about one-half the dry matter and more than one-half of the total feeding value. 4. After the stover has reached the best condition for cutting, there is a rapid decline in both yield and feeding value. . More Enlightenment Needed. The roads and highways -of many of the states of the union are in such a wretched condition that the g¢neral prosperity of the country ig_mctually impeded thereby. The whole subject is one of which there is s 0 much ignorance that any scheme for a mere comprehensive knowledge leading ultimately to better roads and highways is welcome.—N. Y. Recorder. _ : Everybody Is Interested. It is a mistake to suppose that only farmers are concerned in good roads. City merchants and manufacturers, who depend largely on the country for their patronage, are also interested, and ought to join in the movement.—Journal of Commerce, Chicago, THERE 18 no prettier flower for garden or window than the geraninm.

FOR YOUR NOTEBOOK.

Experiments Prove That It Pays to Spray Plums for Rot. . Horticulturist Gorman, of the Kentucky experiment station, says in a recent bulletin: On the Kentucky experiment station grounds several plum trees have always been badly affected with brown rot, which is a fungus parasite. Last spring it was decided to treat one of these with Bordeaux mixture, leaving another standing beside it as a check. The former was sprayed on June 9 with Bordeaux mixture, about 234 gallons being applied to the leaves and young fruit with a knapsack sprayer. On July 5 the tree was sprayed again, about the same quantity of the mixture being applied. The season was unfavorable for fruit of all sorts, and neither the sprayed nor the check tree bore as full crops of fruit as usual. ‘Some rotting fruit was observed at the time of picking on both trees and a good many plums rotted and fell from both during the summer. ] .

On August 22 the plums were picked, and from the sprayed tree were removed 477 plums, weighing 11X pounds; the unsprayed check tree yielded 254 plums, weighing ' six pounds. The difference in favor of spraying is thus:about 514 pounds in weight of fruit. Or we may say the spraying increased the yield about 48 per cent. The mixture was made of 22 gallons of water, 62§ pounds bluestone, 3814 pounds fresh .lime. The bluestone is dissolved in 3 or 4 gallons of hot water. Slack the lime and make of it a paste about as thick as cream. Stir the latter into the bluestone solution and finally turn the whole into the remaining water.

FOR SORTING POTATOES.

How Small Tubers Are Easily Separated ; - from Larger Ones. L

‘Sorting potatoes by hand is very ‘tedious. With the illustration given below the smaller potatoes are easily and quickly separated from the larger ones suitable for market. It isa very simple and cheap apparatus that can be made by anyone. It consists of {\ . e \ i / LR \ . — 4 S a slatted trough 5 or 6 feet long provided with legs or standards of proper length to keep it so inclined that when potatoes are shoveled upon it they will roll down. The slats may be of inch stuff attached to the two bottom cleats, their centers I}4 inches apart, a little closer at the top and a trifle further separated at the bottom, so ‘that the potatoes may not become wedged in the spaces. A suitable width for the sorter is 20 inches, with sideboards 8 inches high. When unloading potatoes from the wagon place the sorter at the side or rear and shovel them directly upon it. Those of suitable size will run into the bas‘ket, while the smaller ones, with the earth, little stones, ete., will fall upon the ground or into any receptacle placed to receive them.—Farm and Home.

FRESH DAIRY NOTES. = - " GooD butter will always find a ready market, no matter how abundant or cheap the butterine or oleo may be. ONE cow to the acre is the old rule. A writer in the Epitomist deplores the two large pastures. He advises large fodder crops for winter feeding, and holds that as dairy products bring far better prices in winter, it would be better for farmers to plan for winter dairying. s MANY dairymen finding that their milk is condemned by the health authorities of the cities, says the Farmer's Home, think that they can dispose of it at the cheese factory. “If this is possible, some change should be made at once in the management of the factory that sends poisonous food throughout the country.” 4

WuAaT was the dairy test at the World’s Fair? To call it a ‘butter test,” says the Jersey Bulletin, is not correct. It was a breed test. It determined which breed of cows could, under the same conditions, make the most milk, butter or cheese, likewise the most profit, in a given time. The test did not determine how much butter a cow could make. :

WHY not largely increase our export of cheese? Bearing on this question the Farmer's Home has this to say: ‘'‘From the cheese already manufactured in different parts of the country it has been abundantly proven that we can produce as good fancy cheeses as any of the foreign product. Already we export enormous quantities of our finest cream cheese to European markets, and by keeping up the quality this market will be greatly enlarged.” FroMm the Maryland experiment station comes the statement that ‘‘corn fodder from one acre yields as much digestible matter as two tons of timothy hay,” and ‘‘there is more digestible matter contained in the corn fodder from one acre than in the corn ears from one acre,” and in summing up the report says: ‘‘There is enough digestible matter produced by the corn fodder in the southern states to winter all the live stock existing in those states, if it was properly preserved and prepared in a palatable form.” _ The Care of Young Trees. - Train the trees young. The best authorities say that only the pocketknife should be used for training and pruning apple trees. This is only another way of saying that the pruning should be done early, before the branches have attained any great growth. Discover whether the limbs need to be cut off before they have reached the size of the arm. Prune the young trees so that they will form an even head, giving the heaviest amount of shade on the south side to shield from the hot sun. Use a colored glass with a magnifying power to discover the insects on the limbs in broad daylight, and then clip off the twigs with the eggs or nests of them, to'burn. : 7 ; Lo
