St. Paul Dispatch. Why Denmark in general and Co penhagen in particular accepted the statements of Dr. Fredrick A. Cook that he had discovered the north pole, was explained by Maurice E. Egan, United States minister to that country, who is making a brief visit in St. Paul. "The north pole is looked upon as standing in the front yard of Den mark." Mr. Egan said.

"Americans are the most popular of foreign people in Denmark, and when a reputable explorer, as Dr. Cook was believed to be, arrived on the Danish shore and announced he had found the pole, the people met him with acclaim and gloried in his conquest.

His statements were accepted without question. "Because of these conditions Dr. Cook's statements were accepted un til the scientists made their report on his records. And, miad you, the scientists have not attempted to dis credit his statements. They merely have said, 'We do not find proof that he has reached the pole.' "If more data were brought, if Dr. Cook should go to Etah and re turn with the Eskimos, they would reopen the case and give him further hearing. The Danish people are gentlemanly and unless the fact that Dr. Cook had not reached the pole was glaringly apparent, the scien tists would not accuse him of lying." Mr. Egan said the report that the king of Denmark was angered with him for inducing him to decorate Dr Cook was untrue. "A New York paper printed a dis patch," he said, "which stated that King Christian was Incensed because I had foisted Dr. Cook upon them The truth of the matter Is that King Christian has 'been dead for three and a half years and that King Frederich, who now rules the nation did not decorate Dr. Cook at all."

JOYTHATBRIHGS WO Shock of Sudden Glad Tidings at Times Turns the Brain. IT HAS DRIVEN PEOPLE MAD. Some of the 8addeat Caaea of Lunaoy Are Thoee Whir the Mind la Un- bU to Stand the Strain of News of Unexpected Good Fortune. It Is no exaggeration to assert, said an asylum doctor of long and varied experience, thut there are score1? of men and women In Insane asylums who have literally been sent there through ex( eas of joy. Many of these cases which are, in my opinion, the saddest of all have come under my owu observation. I rememler in the very first asylum with which I was connected one of the patients was a strikingly band- some and very well educated man, who was as sane as you or I except on one point. He was really a man of considerable wealth, but bis delusion was that he was a pauper, and he would tell the most pitiful tales of his destitution, begging, with tears In his eyes, for a few coppers with which to buy bread. According to the story told me, he was the only son of a wealthy mer chant. In his yoath be bad fallen among evil companions and had led such a dissolute life that his father not only threatened to disinherit him, but forbade him ever to euter his house again. After that be seems to hare sink into the lowest depths of poverty until he was glad to earn a few coppers by selling papers or matches In the streets. It was at this last and lowest stage that news came to him that his fa ther had died intestate and thut be was heir to all his vast fortune. The sudden news completely turned the man's brain and brought on such a condition of excitement that he had to be sent to an asylum, and when he calmed down again he had lost all recollection of his good fortune, and nothing could Khake his delusion that be was on the verge of starvation. Another patient in the same asylum was a young and in his lucid moments a most Intelligent fellow, whose "brain was turned," as the saying is, on learn ing that he had passed an examina tion. He had sat for the matriculation examination at the University of Lon don, on pacing which he had set his heart and bad asked a friend in Lon don to wire the result as soon as the names were screened at Burlington House. About three weeks Inter came a fa tal telegram, "Failed sorry," which sent the young man Into the lowest depths of despair, for he was too old to sit again. Not many hours later, however, came another telegram, "Passed honors very sorry crush so great did not see name this morning." The revulsion of feeling waa so great. that the student s reason gave way, and he became so violent in bis ex- cttement that he had to be confined Fortunately he was not with us long and is now, I am glad to know, doing very well as a solicitor. Disappointed love sends many people to asylums, but it is very seldom that success in wooing drives a man mad. It had this strange effect, however, on one of my late patients. The girl he loved had gone out to India to keep bouse for her brother before he had screwed up his courage to the point of proposing to her, but an offer followed by mail very quickly after her. weeKs ana months passed ana no answer came to the impatient lover nntil, after waiting two years in de spair, he became engaged to a girl who bad nothing but her money bags to recommend her and for whom he had not a particK? of love. Scar, ely, how ever, was his fate sealed than he re ceived the long despaired of letter from India, accepting his offer and ex plaining that the girl's brother had re ceived and mislaid the letter, whlcb had only Just been found and bad. come into her bands. Within an hour of the receipt of this letter the man was a raving maniac, and, although bis condition is improv ed, I doubt whether he will ever re cover his reason. In another remarkable case it was the joy at seeing her husband again that robbed a lady patient of her rea son. Her husband was the captain of a merchant ship which was reported to have gone down with all bands. The widow had deeply mourned her husband for nearly a year when one day on returning from a walk she found him sitting In the drawing room as bale and robust as ever. With a shriek she fell unconscious on the floor, and when she recovered her reason was gone. It seems that her husband, after floating for some time, bad been picked up by a passing "tramp" and bad been landed on the west coast of. Africa, from which he ha4 returned bocne by the first avail able vessek Loadoa Spectator. - ,, Charitable.

How many of tbe thousands who make this gct-rlch-guick wish have any idea of the amount they would have if the wish should be granted. Few name the denomination of tbe money on which they desire to test their strength, perhaps believing that their lifting powers would make them wealthy uo matter what kind of money they lifted. If they were asked how much tbey could lift In silver or small bills tbe majority probably would name some fabulous sum which investigation would show several men could not budge. In gold or in paper money of large denominations the ordinary In dividual would be able to lift a fair sized fortune, but to win a million by lifting it in anything less than twenty dollar bills would need tbe Btrength of a veritable Sandow. An official of the subtreasury who is Interested in odd statistics in bis de partment was asked how much money the average man could lift in the vari ous denominations of gold, sliver and paper. "Well," he replied, "a man could make money on that proposition if be could get hold of paper money of large denominations, but on the smaller bills, silver and gold he would not be a millionaire by any means. "The weight of money is very de ceptive. For instance, a young man, a friend of mine, came in to see me one day with bis fiancee. I was show ing them through my department and asked my friend if he thought the young woman was worth her weight In gold. lie did think so, most emphat ically, and after ascertaining that her weight was one 107 pounds we fig ured that she would be worth in gold coin exactly $28,047. Her fiancee thought that would be pretty cheap. Perhaps more people are deceived on the weight of paper money than on the metals. Now, how many one dol lar bills do you think would be neces sary to weigh as much ae a five dol lar gold piece?" Fifty was ventured as a guess, and the statistician laughed. I have. bad guesses on that all the way from 50 to 500." he said, "and some or tnem from men who nave handled money for. years. As a mat ter of fact, with a five dollar gold piece in one scale you woukl have to put about six and a half bHls in the other to balance it." He produced figures to protfe that a five dollar gold piece weighed two hundred and ninety -six thousandths of an ounce avoirdupois. An employee who makes the new bills up in pack ages of 100 each said that a hundred bills weighed four and one-hatf ounces. That would make one bill weigh forty five thousandths of an ounce, and be tween six and seven would balance the gold piece. " Figures on tbe lifting proposition were furnished from the department where the money is weighed in bags as standards. The standard amount for gold coin, $5,000, weighs eighteen and a half pounds. Five hundred sil ver dollars weigh thirty-five and a half pounds, and $200 in half dollars, or 400 coins, weighs eleven pounds. Tak ing 200 pounds as a good lift for an average man, these results were ob tained : METAL MONET.

If tbe young woman who was worth $28,647 in gold coin bad been worth her weight in these $10,000 cer tificates she would have been valued at $380,444,385.-F. T. Pope In Chicago Record-Herald.
