French INSANITY,

1t appears from collated statistics that
insanity is steadily on the increase in
France. From the lst of January, 1901,
to the 3lst December, 1910, the number
Of mad under treatment amounted to s.
4l6; from January, 1911, to December
1920, to S,375; from January, 1921, to
December 1880, to 10,714; and from
January, 1881, to December, 1910 to A.
l35. So that between 1901 and 1910 the
numbers were almost trebled. The in
crease during the next ten years is even
more startling. Between 1871 and 1850
the number reached So, $50 Again this
number increased between 1851 and 1860
to 80, 245. Since 1860 the numbers have
steadily increased. In 1861 there were
6,266 mad poor; in 1862 the. numbers
were 6,437 in 1868 they were $500; in
1864 they were 6,S7S; in 1865 they were
1884; and lastly, in 1866. they had
reached 1926. 1t thus appears that in
the last year of which we have an official
record there were as many mad patients
under treatment in the asylumns of the
Department of the Seine as there were

A Request from the Governor.
e EennZe of Wisconsin, :.

10 INC JcDpte " VtSCOHSW
There has recently been organized, in
connection with the General Land Office
of the Department Of the Interior, a cabi-
net for the purpose of illustrating the inn
mense mineral resources Of the United
States. To each state and territory has
been assigned an alcove in the cabinet,
surmounted by its coat of arms. for the
display of Its particular specimens. 1t is
desired to obtain for this collection from
each state, not only specimens Of It's metal
ic minerals proper, but of its Goals, peat,
soils, building stones, and other potters
clays, with the characteristic organic re-
mains of the various formations-in short
a complete Illustration of the mineral re-
sources of each section of the country
The collection Of such museum at the
seat OF Government will be of great prac-
teal and scientific value. 1t will enable
the miner to compare the ores for the
different localities, vii! give the capitalist
information in regard to the best fields for
Investment, will inform the manufacturer
where to seek his crude materials, and
will furnish in properly classified form
matter for scientific investigation for the
theologist and student.
In the collection of materials for this
cabinet, the cooperation of miners, manu-
facturers, biologists and institutions of
learning throughout the United States is
solicited, and the work of filling the cabi-
net is now progressing under the direction
of an experienced geologist
1t is desirable that in this collection
full justice be done to the resources of
Wisconsin. In richness and variety OF
soils, minerals, peat beds and uuarries she
can compare tavorably with her sister
states. The opportunity to Illustrate so
conspicuousy her sources of wealth ought
not to pass unimproved
/, therefore, join with the Department
of the Interior in requesting of the people
of this state their aid in furnishing spec;-
mems for this cabinet, of the materials
above referred to, and articles manufac-
tured from them Each specimen should
be labelled with the name, locality from
which taken, chemical composition, geo
logical position, and with the name of the
donor. Specimens of building stones,
marble, etc., should be polished on one
side where the nature of the material ad-
mits, another side cut in some ornamen-
tai work, another merely dressed with
hammer or chisel, another in the rough
state. Packages weighing not more than
four pounds will be forwarded by mail to
the cabinet free of charge, if addressed
to THE Commissioner of the Land office
Washington, ID. c." Larger boxes can
be sent by express without expense to the
donor.
The especial attention of the various
institutions of learning in the state, and
of all whose studies or pursuits interest
them in the subject, is respectfully called
to this subject. LUCIUs FAIRCHILD.

"The Richest Boy i'm America"

The papers are telling about boy
in New England, now fourteen years of
age, who Is supposed to be the richest boy
in the United States, because he has
great deal Of money. To our mind the
richest boy in America is the one who is
goodhearted, honest, intelligent, ambi
tious, willing to do ri ght. He is the one
who loves his mother, and always has
kind word for her, who loves his sister or
sisters and tries to help them, and re-
the boy who does not call his father the
old man, but who loves him, speaks
kindly to and Of him, and tries to help
him as the hairs of old age gather fast
upon his brow.
The richest boy is the one who has
pluck to fight his own destiny and future.
He is the one who has the manhood to do
right and be honest, and is striving to be
somebody, who is above doing mean
action-who would not tell lie, to screen
himself or betray friend. He is the
boy who has a heart for others, whose
the future and Is determined to win a
name by good deeds. He is the one who
is looking forward to the time wher he
by him with all the depth Of his nature
and for whom he will labor to make a
good home and good husband This
is the richest boy in America. Which
one of our readers is it?
This boy we Ike, we would be glad to
see, would like to take by the hand and
tell him to so on earnestly, that success
might crown his efforts. And if he is
poor boy, we shall meet at the threshold,
bid him enter, and give him good adj
vice, we'll and kindly meant That other
boy down in New England we don't care
anything about, but there are fools and
snobs enough to worship, fatter and spoil
him. -Ec.

AN INVITATION DINNER.-A good
story is told of a couple of farmers who
lived few miles apart. One day one
called on the other, happened around at
dinner time. The person called upon by
the way, was arather penurious old fel-
low. He was seated at the table, enjoy
ing his dinner. The visitor drew to the
stove, expecting the old farmer to invite
him to dine. The old farmer kept on
eating.
"What's the news up your way, neigh
bor?n Still eating mo news, eh :"
"No, I believe not Presently a
thought struck the visitor. "Well, yes,

THE FASHIONABLE WEDDING NUS
ANCE.-A New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial says upon this
subject
81 want to say few words on the in
decorous publicity given Of late to fash
ionable weddings
Zone might as well suppose that so
ciety had made up its mind to abandon
all sense of propriety. and set up opposi-
ton to the sensational and partially nude
drama. For weeks. sometimes months,
before hand, weddings are announced to
come off. From that moment, every step
IN the preparation is the subject of news
paper paragraphs, and the gentle, modest
shrinking bride shares her trembling
hopes with about two hundred and TWEEN
ty-seven thousand people, who read the
New York dailies. AS general thing,
the fewer claims the parties have to dis
fiction in society, the greater is the noise
they make, and for the simple reason
that the poor fools think 1t is getting
into society to do up this manner of
thing splendidly"
