Increase Of INSANITY.

DR.. Maudsley, writing in the British
Medical Journal, admits that there is
more insanity, and more instances of
its occurrence, in proportion to tll.::pop-
ulation, now than formerly-say gener-
ations ago; but that SO many more
persons should be yearly going mad
now than Is years ago, is II supposition
which he pronounces not probable in
itself, and not supported by facts.
There is, he says, abundant evidence
of gradually improved registration OF
insanity, and of great increase in the
returns in consequence of that improve
ment; but denies that there is, as yet,
any satisfactory evidence of anything

1t is calumny to say that men are

A Cool Robber.

Policeman Badger, of the Tenth Sta.
ton, had q bit of experience the other
night which he is not lord of talking
about. It was past midnight as he was
leisurely pushing his beat through Jes-

Drayton & Fogg's jewelry store, he OBJ

''Well-it's only me; it's all right.
Kind o chilly out, isn't it,"
'sYes."
''Thought so: Twas just fixing the
fire. Good night"
Badger said 'tgood night" and pur-
sued his way.
An hour afterward Badger passed
through Jessup street again, and again
he saw the light in the jewolry store.

the door loudly.

The door was opened, and policeman
Badger entered, and he found the in

man, in a linen buster.
"Come right up TO the stove, police

The man took the ash-pan from the
bottom of the stove, ind carried it down

said with smile:

colleges, whose bodily presence was
weak, but who, having tall spirit,
was determined to bate no inch OF the
respect due to his Office or himself, dis
approving, also, of the lax convention
atty of the ''frontier," requested the
students whenever they should meet
him, DR.. H., their friend and their
professor, TO take off their bats. This
enactment did not suit the Western
temper, and stirred slightly the West
ern pulse. No remonstrance, however,
was offered, and the doctor, who had
been visited by misgivings rs to the
result. breathed freely, felt that the
point was rounded, and felicitated him

ton may be noted some curious items
anent the milk yielding and the fatten-

proved by actual trial that with given
ratio of food those animals that gavo
from three to four gallons per day va
ried only slightly in weight through
out the season. Others which the daily
product was from twelve quarts down
to five gained in weight without excep-
ton. This gain, averaging the milk
