''Can you give a cause for the large num-
Der of insane people arrested by the police
of late?" asked a reporter of Sanitary Off
Ger Tuple yesterday.
Il cannot" was the reply. During the
last four weeks | have sent twenty-eight
cases to the insane asylum. Nearly all
have hobbies. My knowledge of their UNI
soundneSs of mind and the cause is only
CLEANED by conversation with them and
their friends"
''Were they all residents of this city?'
NEARLY all. A few came into town."
"Do you think insanity is on the increase.
judging by your experience as a sanitary
officer?"
SIT is. A physician at the insane asylum
day or two ago spoke TO me on this mat
ter. 1 asked him the cause and he re-
marked that it was due to the advance in
education and civilization but he did not
explain his reasons for so thinking"
what is the proportion between the
races?"
1.-The whites and colored are about
equally divided. The colored peoples in
sanity is nearly every instance is due to
religious excitement. The proportion
among white and colored females is about
equal. The female cases are slightly in adj
vance of the males"
do you send many over to the insane
asylum insane through drink"
''Some have been sent there through their
friends, but after a few days treatment they
become all right. The doctors do not con-
slider them as insane, though they state
that overindulgence i'm liquor will in time
produce softening of the brain"

INFANTILE INSTINCT.
Birds and Insects knowing How TO
Live the Moment They are Born.

Fortnightly Review.
Chickens, two minutes after they have
left the egg, will follow with their eyes the
movements of crawling insects. and pick
at them, judging distance and direction
with almost infallible accuracy. They will
mstinetively appreciate sounds, readily run
ming toward an invisible hen hidden in 4
box when they hear her ''call." Some
young birds also have an innate. instructive
horror of the sight of hawk and the sound
OF its voice. Swallows, titmice, tOmtitS
and wTenS, after having been confined
from birth, are capable of flying success
fully at once when liberated, on their
wings having attained the necessary growth
to render flight possible. The duke of Ar
gyll relates some very interesting particu-
lars about the instinct of birds, especially
of the water Ousel. the merganser and the
Wild duck Even as TO the class of beasts
l find recorded: Five young pOlecats
were found comfortably imbedded in dry,
withered grass, and in a side hole of
proper dimenSionsfOr such larder were
forty frogs and two tOadS, all alive, but
merely capable Of sprawling little. On
examination the whole number, toads and
all, proved TO have been purp0Sely and
deXterouSly bitten through the brain. Ev-
identity the parent pOlecat had thus pro-
yided the young with food which should be
kept perfectly fresh because alive, and vet
was rendered quite unable to escape. This
singular instinct is like others which are
yet more fully developed among mSectS-a
class of animals the instincts of which are
so numerous, wonderful and notorious that
it will be probably enough to refer to one
or two examples. The female carpenter
bee, in order TO protect her eggs, eXcavates
in some piece of wood a series of cham
berS, in special order, with a view TO pc
culiar mode of exit for her young, but the
young mother can have no conscious knOwl-
edge of the series of acknowledgements
TO ensue. The female of the wasp, sphex.
affects another well-known, but very re-
markable example of complex instinct
closely related to that already mentioned
in the case of the polecat. The female
wasp has 10 provide fresh, living animal
food for her progeny, which, when it quits
its egg, quits it in the form of an almost
helpless grub, utterly unable TO catch, re-
tain or kill an active struggling prey.
Accordingly, the mother insect has not
only TO provide and place beside her eggs
suitable living prey, but so treat it that it
may be helpless, unresisting victim. That
victim may be mere caterpillar, or it may
be great, powerful graSshOpper, or even
that most fierce, active and rapacious of
insect tyrantS, fell and venOmOus spider.
Whichever it may be. the wasp adroitly
stingS il ar the spot which induces. or in
the several spots which induce, complete
paralysis as To motion-let us hope as to
sensation also. This done, the wasp en-
tombs the helpless being with his own egg,
and leaves it for the support of the future
grub.

is kept up between Henry Ward Beecher
and well-knOwn judge in Chicago, which
originated in letter from the latter to the

ImmoraIityin Nof sleeninp.

From the Herald of Health.
Profanity and lying are regarded by all as
immoral, but did any one ever think it i'm
moral not to sleep enough?
The ethics of good sleep should form a
part of household morality. 1t is hardly
an eXtravagant assertion that comparatively
few people, after childhood has passed,
know by experience what perfect sleep is,
and satisfy themselves with poor apology
for this best of all refreshments. Rising
tired and weary from disturbed. imperfect
sleep, they proceed to summon up lost ell
ergieS by taking strong tea or coffee OF al

with perfect rest, and this more than any

sleeping in perfectly dark and well-venti-

and the rose of early youth.
The most perfect sleep is obtained by
carefully closing the blinds, raising and
lowering the windows to admit plenty of
