While the country is crying for more
insane asylums, the following from a
writer who has studied the subject
thoroughly, is timely: 1.-THE people
must be taught that insanity is q dis
ease of the brain, easily durable at the
beginning, best managed under change

Not only are the British officers in Alex
anaria and Cairo ell powerful in sheir
own sphere, but tina pest departmental
posts are occupied by their countrymen,
not n of whom will condescend to
take less than $4,000 q year, while
every n is prudent enough to insure
his salary being paid In advance. The
