sorts for each sex respectively, at which
such of the inmates whose health will
permit, to the number of fifteen or
twenty, with their attendants, pass the
days from early morning till evening.
This novel entertainment and recrea-
ton was first introduced by the Brattle-
boro asylum and has been very bene-
fetal to the inmates. Other asylums
have followed the lead thus given to
some extent. In regard to the matter
of " restraints necessitated by the
activities and tendencies of insanity,
the report says: Restraints of what
ever kind are few in comparison with
the number of inmates in the asylum;
they have their appropriate place in
the curative treatment employed, but
they cannot be abandoned"
There are twenty convict and criminal
insane in the institution. The super
visors recommend the removal of this
class to Rutland in connection with the
house of correction. Their presence
has an injurious effect upon the other
inmates; besides, the increasing num-
Der of inmates for whom the asylum is
designed requires the additional room.
The report says:
The question of an independent state asy-
lum for the insane has been agitated to some
extent; but it has met with little favor, be-
cause there has seemed to be no necessity
for two insane asylums in a state whose
population is so small. The capacity of the
one is undoubtedly sufficient for the proper
accommodation of all resident citizens "
who are now insane or may become so
for years to come. But its capacity is being
overtaxed: its numbers are increasing in
stead of diminishing. Providing other
quarters for its criminal and convict insane
in more manifestly appropriate connection
with quarters provided for its sane criminals
and convicts will open an additional ward
for class of persons more likely to be bene-
flied by treatment and whose antecedents,
presidents and presence are not so for
bidding We commend this matter to the
careful consideration of members of the
legislature, in the belief that the action we
have suggested in the premises is demanded
by the interest of the state, the asylum and
the persons concerned.
On two occasions the supervisors
visited Lake View Retreat, private
institution for the treatment of mental
and nervous diseases located at Bur-
lington, under the charge of Dr. John
M. Clarke. They speak in high terms
of its location, sanitary condition, etc.
During the two years ending August l,
1886, the number of inmates was thirty
seven. OF these, fourteen have been
discharged as cured, six improved, five
unimproved; two have died and ten are
now in the asylum there. The proper
ton of cures to the number of patients
is noticeable.

Interesting Pension Statistics.

The commissioner of pensions has
filed his report for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1886. AT that date there
were 365,7S3 pensioners on the rolls,
composed of 265,354 army invalids;
1852 army widows, minor children
and dependent relatives; 1858 navy in
valids; ST. navy widows, minor chill
dren, ETC.; $50 survivors of the war
of 1872, showing loss during the year
of ,406 of this class. There were 49,
397 widows of soldiers of the war of
1912, showing loss during the year in
this class of 1915. Twenty-four orig
inal claims were filed in this class dur
ing the year, the names of 304 addi-
tional widows appeared on the rolls,
40,S57 new pensioners were added to
the rolls during the year, 2,229 were re-
stored to the rolls, % ,0S9 pensioners
were dropped from the rolls on account
of death, remarriage, frauds, etc, leav-
ing net increase in the roll of 20,6S5
lldiICS. uC dNCldSC Ndlut Vi
each pension was S122.23, gain of
S11.SS over the average value of the
preceding year. The aggregate annual
value was S44 ,70S, 027 IA, being an in
crease in annual value of $6,6l7 ,04l 81.
The amount paid for pensions during
the year was $685. 97 1871 81, the differ
ence in the amount paid and the annual
value representing the accrued and
arrearage pensions paid during the
year, The total of rent paid by the
pension agencies during the year is
S1S,097.6S. No rent was paid at Wash
ington for pension Offices, thus cutting
off large annual expense. Since 1861,
59l ,l02 invalid claims have been filed,
34S, 100 claims of widows and depend
ents; 49, 1874 for pension on account of
service. During the same period there
have been allowed of the first class
1872, l4l claims, and of the second class
229, 435, and of all other classes COLTS,
making total of claims allowed since
1861 of621 ,754. twill thus be seen that
nearly one-half of all the pensioners
whose names have been placed upon
the rolls have died, or their pensions
have ceased by reason of arrival at age,
remarriage, etc.
In this connection it will be of inter-
est to note the action of the late national
encampment of the Grand Army of the
Republic at San Francisco, which APP
pears to have received little attention
from the press. The encampment, by
the overwhelming vote of 1927 to Sc, ex-
pressed its disapproval of the Lowering

pension bill, which grants life pension
of SO month to all honorably dis
charged soldiers and sailors of the
Union who served sixty days or more
in the civil war. The bill makes sim
pie service, instead of disability from
wounds or disease, the ground of pen
sion, and it is estimated that it would
put upon the rolls 600,0 900 more per-
sons, at a cost of $5S,000, 900, besides
increasing present pensions of less
amount than IS, at cost of IS 900 900
more. 1t is not expected, however,
that the action of the veterans at San
Francisco will deter the advocates of
the measure from pushing it again next
winter. The pension burden upon the
country is already quite heavy, and it
is doubtful if so sweeping measure
as the Lowering bill can become a law.
Yet it is the exact theory of the Next
can pension bill, which has passed both
houses of congress, in slightly different
forms, and which will have its fate
settled in conference at the next session.

Virgins and His Prophecy.

The Canadian weather prophet, Wig
gins, who claims to have predicted the
recent earthquake at Charleston, now
ventures to predict storm of unparal-
leled violence to sweep across the
country to-day and also great earth
quake in the Southern States. Not
withstanding the general belief that
Virgins is humbug and the fact that
his predictions for the most part have
been utter failures, his latest announce
ments are causing great uneasiness in
the South. A Charleston dispatch says:
i" 1t is useless to say that there can be
no foundation for the prediction. Even
men who know the utter absurdity of
it, but who have been through the
earthquake, were unnerved at reading
it, The women and children are utterly
Frustrated" A New Orleans dispatch,
September %, says cone of the papers
interviewed the leading doctors this
morning, and they unanimously say
that Virgins predictions are liable to
do much harm. DR.. Jones, late presi-
dent of the Louisiana Board of Health,
declares that he has met many nervous
persons more or less frightened, and
that in cases of heart disease excite
ment and apprehension produced by
predictions like these may prove seri-
Gus or fatal AT one of the Liberty
street churches tonight the negroes
had an earthquake prayer-meeting, and,
should the matter be taken up re-
ligiously, there are chances of consider
able Generalization and panic among
them, which will prove troublesome
and injurious, interfering with work"
Virgins pretends to base his predic-
ton upon an astronomical fact-the
con junction of Saturn and Jupiter on
September Goth, which he says will
produce the earthquakes; and he asserts
that the quake line will pass through
the United States from east to west,
and covers Jacksonville, Macon, At
lanta, Mobile, New Orleans, Baton
Rouge and the cities in Texas. New
Orleans, Macon and Mobile will be
ruined. There is little use in arguing
to the panic-stricken inhabitants of
Charleston and other earthquake-shaken
localities in the South that Virgins
prophecy is unworthy of a moments
serious consideration. But, because of
the unfavorable effect of his dire pre-
dictions upon ignorant and nervous
people, it would seem to be quite time
that Virgins was suppressed. His
Canadian fellow-citizens should at once
enforce his retirement from the proph-
ecy business.
