Recent investigations conducted by M.
Paul 9arnicr and embodied in n report to a
convention of French doctors gives startling
tocts as to the increase of insanity in that
country, and especially as to the increase of
that form OF insanity due to the excessive use
Oh alcoholic drinks From 1871 to 1888 in
sanity increased in France by thirty per
cent. Fifty-six per cent. of the insane are
men and forty-four per cent. are women.
The increase during the last seventeen years
has been almost entirely IN the branches Of
paresis. There has been very little increase
in mania, melancholia and chronic delirium.
Alcohol and overwork are therefore held re-
sPonsihle for the greater part of the increase
OF insanity during recent years, The FIRE.

Mrs. Mary H. Hunt, Superintendent OF
Scientific instruction in Schools and Colleges
of the Worlds Womans Christian Temper

noon in the hall of the Young Women's
Christian Association, y. East Fifteenth

OF pushing temperance education in the pub
