The akticix by Dr. Willi m A. II vm-
Moxii on "SclfControl in Curing Insanity."'
nibllslicil ln ''The North American
ltevlcw" for March, is eminently sensible
and practical. Tho writer argues that the
difference between an honest and virtuous
man and a degraded ono is not necessarily
due to structural differences in tho brain,
but, that vice comes from yielding, to bad
impulse. In almost every caso of crlmo
loinmlltcd by people und.er tho influence
of so-called emotional insanity the im
pulse to commit the crimo could
have been conquered. The failure
to do so constitutes tho crime nnd should
bo punished ns relentlessly as crimo of
amy other character. Dr. Hammond has
Icvoted much timo nml study to mental
snd nervous complaints nnd ho fortifies
Ids position by Instances which have come
under his own observation and in his own
riactice. Men have apcalcd to him for
lice when suffering from an impulse or
emotion to kill and destroy their dearest
friends 'or members of their own family.
In every caso such Impulses filled those
who labored under them with horror.
Dr.-JlAMMo.vn did not fall to warn them
that it wns entirely within their owcr to
ivcrcpine the impulse by a proper exercise
of the will and that if they failed to do so
they would deserve ihe same punishment
sis meted to the ordinary and malicious
murderer. Lunatics In asylums are
untenable to discipline. Dr. Caiitentbb
is quoted as believing that two-thirds of
the women who arc subjected to tho re
straint of asylums are brought there by in
dulgence of an orlglnalljUmrt temper; Dr.
JIaimoI) believes not only Wiatjsclf con
trol can be made to aid in curing insanity,
btitlbatltwlll in many casesprevent it.
Ills opinion that the will powcrin chil
dren sbpuUl bo carefully cultivated; and
that education should be so directed will
nurely be approved by all judicious people.

llVIiy lp Not Mare Women Marry?

I hnvo seen several articles U your very
interesting paper on the subject, "Why
do not more women marry if" Thero
liavo been various answers given, but 1
think the true reason is because they are
not asked. In Now York City I am now
speaking of tho upper class tljero are two
women toovcry man, and it Is manifestly
Impiobablc that every girl should have a
proposal, and oven If the number of girls
ami men were equal, there, would still bo
agieatnianv clrls who would die "old
maids." All girls aro anxious to bu mar
ried, but I am sorry to say the men aro
not. Why this Is so 1 do not know, for
thero arc no happier people than thoinar
rled men. 1). L. H.
Tho president of tho General Federation
of Woman's Clubs writes tho Woman's
Department:
"Many women do not marry because
they do not meet tho mini who truly
loves them and w horn they truly lovo lu
return. Others because they will not
many for a home, or to pteaso friendv, or
to csciqio it life of single blessedness.
Somo are una ml able, eoquetlsh, un
cultured, extravagant and exacting. They
luck marriageable qualities. Others from
observation fear to murry lest ther ilitil
themselves hi nu uncongenial relation
from whlih thero would bo no escape.
They had lather bear tho ills they liavo
than to II; to others they know not of,

from the grand mnss celebrated in tho
Slstlno (Impel on tho anniversary of .tho
dentil of Pins IN., for which wo were so -fortunate
as to obtain tickets through
Ci.iint C, one of tho Polio's guard of
nobks. Only two or three such services
nro held In the Slstlne ('Impel during tho
yenf, nnd very few besides tlio clergy nnd
( lllelnls cnu be ndmllted, so wo considered
ourselves exceptionally favored. We wcro
(ntithiiiid toco curly, nnd nt 0:30 o'clock
we were on tho .Scuta Rcgia waiting to
aeeml to tho chapel.
Tho Swiss gunrcl were on duly, standing
on Hie stairway, drcved In the wonderful
cnnhlnatioii of red, blue and yellow, de
signed for them by Michael Angclo,
which defies description. They carry
spears about six feet long, which look as
if they might have como out of tho Tower
of Ixmdon, and aro altogether mo.it
unique.
W c found quiten crowd already waiting,
tho ladles in black with black lace veils
on their heads, tho men in dress coats and
whllccravats. When tho signal wasglvcn
there was n grand rush up the staircase,
nml ns wo wcro among tho first wo got ex
cellent places in thechnrcl, on benches
directly behind those reserved for tho tll
Joinntlc Indies.
Wa hnd n long timo to wnitns tho Pop1)
was lnlc and mass did not really begin
until 11, but wo wcro well entertained
watihlng tho various celebrities nrrive
and learning who thev nil were, nnd In
enjoying tho beautiful chapel. Tho sun
shine could not liavo been brighter, and
wc had n line chnnco to study the beauti
ful paintings. An Italian lady next us
knew nil the pcoplo and told us who they
were. Tho dlplomalcs were simply gor
geous. Somalu blue and gold, others In
brilliant scarlet with various orders and
decorations; some In blue und silver, nlto
ccther n dazzling collection of uniforms.
'1 hen to add to tlio picture, tlio nlslo wus
lined with the Swim guard und many of
the Pope's own guard were on duty. Or
these lultcr thero seem to be thrco grades;
tho lowest weardrcss suits, with tho white
expanse of shirt front covered with very
beautiful gold chains, fastened together
in n curious way, almost like n harness,
nWn a broad red ribbon.
Then como thoCanierlnla in black short
clothes, black silk stockings and pumps
with buckle; black clpth coats, with n
great deal of black velvet let In, tho tops
of the sleeves Inrgo puffs of black velvet,
plain cloth below, and deep cuffs or old
lace; n velvet belt, with silver bucklo and
sword, and n black velvet capo gracefully
draped over tho left shoulder. Mognili
cent gold chains around tho neck, or
rather around tho shoulders; then nbovo
a red ribbon and above that a very full
white ruff, most picturesque uud becom
ing. Then como thoso who aro nearest
the Pope. They look moro llko soldiers,
wearing tightly buttoned coats with gold
epaulets, a great hand of gold across tho
chest nnd helmets of gold und silver, very,
very magnificent, but not so becoming ns
tho dresi of the Cnmcrinin.
Soon tho Church dignitaries began to
arrive. Between thirty and forty cardi
nals in long purple, each with n train
bearer, ermine capes and scarlet caps.
Many bishops and all tho orders of monks
wen; represented. Tho chapel is so small,
and" It was soon crowded n wonderful
mass of color, to which tlio ladles, all In
black, mado n good contrast. Just beforo
Ihe Pope arrived tho scrvantsof his house
hold cninc In. They were all in red nt a
splendid color, silk stocking", kuco
breeches of a velvet brocade, all of tho
sumo shade of led; long coats of same,
bnek nnd front nnd sleeves of plain red
silk; at tho collar two loin- laco tabs,
pieces nbout thrco Inches wide and seven
or eight long.
Now to tho service. Tho Pono entered
through a small door, attended by somo
of his guard nnd n number of cardinals.
They all knelt in front of the altar; then
the Pope, surrounded by cardinal bear
ing Ids train, ascended his throne. Ho
wns dressed in white, with a very magnifi
cent red enpe; I think It is something
llko tho one Futher Brown wears, only
very, very long. On his bend a silver
mitre.
As soon as he was sealed mass wns said
by four bishops, nil hi green nnd gold;
then came the music, the finest wo hnvo
heard only voices, no instruments. Tho
ltypo took a small part of tlio scrvlco and
his v olco rang out clear and strong, hut ha
looks very frullanilfccble. HclsSO. When
the host was raised every ouo in tho build
ing knelt, and there was profound silence
n most impressive moment.
The service lasted nbout an hour and
then tho Pope Jeft as" ho came. It was a
lienutifnl sight In tho ante-room us we
Sasscd out; a company of tho Pope's sol
icrs w ero drawn up on cither slue, pre
senting arms, and many of .tho diplomats
nnd clcrlcnls standing about such a pic

"Oh, that's simple enough 1 I marry
my girls off on tho buckwheat-straw
principle."
"But what Is that principle? I have
never heard of It before."
".Well, I used to raise a good deal of
buckwheat and It puzzled mo to kn6w

"I stacked ray buckwheat straw nicely

"I tell the girls, too, Hint they should

When young Dr. Blank arrived at tlio
hotel, says an article In tho Now York
JtiraUl day beforo yesterday, ho was
"sized up" by Mr. Toylor Tilibs, who Im
mediately remarked that "Yd kin always
bunk on a Rlchmoii' gcn'lcmaii, spcslily
n doctor man."
Dr. Blank, or "Doc," ns ho was called,
Is well known In Richmond social circles,
nnd nltogcther Is one of the Jouncjso dorce
of Hint town.
Tho hotel lu question is n well-known
fumlly resort on tho West Side, mostly
pntronl7Cd by Southerners. Mr. Tibbs.
whonlso hnlls f rom itichmoml, occupies
n position of general utility in tho hotel,
but mainly occupies himself In attending
to the Indiv Idiiul wants of tho guests.
For a week Mr. Tlbbs had been assidu
ous lu his attentions upon young Dr.
Blank, but ns yet no fee hnd been forth
ccmlng. This mado poor Tibbs feel
rather uneasy, hut, as hoagalu remarked,
"Yo' kin bank on a Richmon' gen'leman
every time." Finally, "Doc's" visit came
to an end nnd Taylor wns nsked to accom
pany him to Jersey City, where tlio Doc
tor wns to tnko the train for homo, inci
dentally, Tavlor had to carry a heavy
vallso and other traps of tho doctor's on
tho trip oyer.
Theuicxtday Tavlor wns reported sick
In bed. It finally leaked out that "Doc"
hadn't "panned out" as expected. As it
comcqucncc of which Taylor's Ideas re
garding "Klchmon' gcn'lcmcn" under
went n decided change. Hero Is tho story
he finally told:
"Yo' kin jess niake-upyo' nilii'datwlieii
yo' sec n man from Richmon' bo's less tho
mcancs' man alive, 'specially de doctors.
Why, sakca alive, 1 was mos dead when I

"Pretty soon do eyurs kem along 'uu I
put de duds on board. Den do cyars 'gau

and den he wns gone.
"Well, I bo doggone,' sex I. 'Specie! to

'Spco dnt 'spressmnn kem from Richmon',

"You hvnriue," continued thodlsconso
