No Trace of Madness.
When a well-known dootor, an enthusiast on phrenology, visited a lunatic asylum in Paris, he was shown round the t stablisnraent by one of the inmates, who was quite rational in his talk. The dector therefore felt his head, and remarked : " I find here not a vestige of madneis. What "brought you iuto the asylum, as I can discover no trace of madness about you, and you seem to act and speak senßibly enough ? " " Not a bit likely that you will deteot any trace of lunacy in the head which you now fee on my shoulders ; for you must know that it is not my head at alJr ' I only had it stuck on alter I was goiil'itiued duang the Rovolution." The doctor was satisfied with the expkna* tion.
