Insanity Increasing,

The physical deterioration which Ia
consequent upon poverty ard INSULT
cient nutriment, is said by scientists,
to be more frequently the cause OF in
sanity than any other. Thus we have
a greater number of lunatics among
the poor who cannot obtain sufficient
nourishing food, than among the
higher classes, who endure far great
er mental labor. Statistics show that
insanity has been on the increase with
alarming rapidity during the past few
years, but it has been almost wholly
among the poorer classes
Among educated people there has
been no increase. Now what shall be-
done to prevent the scourge spreading
still furth er among the poor people?
The remedy is apparent. Educate
them. Open avenues of industry to
them in which they can earn compe-
tency against the sufferings of power
ty. This will lessen, the danger Of
insanity to the present generation, and
establish such conditions as will rem
der the next generation less likely tn
inherit tendencies which to frequently
result in idiocy or mental alteration.

but not without reason. This idea
flashed clearly across my mind in
spite of my danger. The schooner,
was now quite near, and had every
reason to believe we would be picked
up.
I was right. We were aboard the
schooner, the handsome stranger with
the rest. Then the lady in black,
quietly pulled forth revolver, point

had restored.

said sternly' 81 would like to see
what's in it."
"Why, why" stammered the
stranger, what is"
Before he could say another word
the little Amazon thrust her disengag-
ed hand in his pocket and drew forth
the red case and opening it, ring
dropped to the desk. This ring she
picked up, and holding it up before
us all exclaimed, i found it at last.
The jeweIler assured me it was the on
ly kind of device in all Paris-a char
lot wheel. This person is the MUIR
derer of the Countess de Marvile. !"
The handsome stranger stood as
if frozen to the deck and made 10 re-
sistance when then the lady in black
slipped the handouts over bis wrists.

robbed the waves of this rascal, that the
gallows might not be cheated.
There is little to be told.
The main proofs of the prisoners
guilt having been obtained, other evi-
dence was produced showing him to be
guilty beyond doubt.
Long before his execution. his
name was ascertained to be Louis
Rossennau, a noted adventurer and
gambler, who, however, by his cool
effrontery and winning address, back
ed by good looks, mad bern enabled to
move in the first circles of Paris soci-
