An excellent resolution has been adopted

An excellent resolution has been adopted
at conference Just held In this city by the
officers OF the New York State hospitals for the
insane. These experts took up the question OF
finding proper employment for the patients In
the hospitals. many OF whom arc kept in idle
moss, to their own detriment. After various
suggestions had been offered in the conference
its members unanimously resolved that all un-
employed patients who are able to work should
be provided with work in desirable branches
of industry such as the making OF brushes.
brooms mats. rugs. straw braid baskets.
woodenware. wilowware. and other articles.
We say that this Is an excellent resolution.
There should be no unnecessary delay in car
rying out its provisions.
All alienists are agreed that the keeping OF
insane patients In idleness tends to aggrarate
their malady. and that the occupation OF their
minds In industry is often a curative agency.
We have no doubt that. by the time OF the next
conference OF the hospital managers in Octo-
ber. q favorable report regarding the subject
upon which they took preliminary action last
Wednesday will be In readiness.

Maud accomplished far more than that in the

she opened up the way to a greater speed
and to general improvement in the trot-
ting type such as the experts before could
scarcely dream OF, and knew no road to. The
thoroughbred obtained through her his most
confirmed foundation on the makeup Of the
American trotter; and with the infusion OF
his peerless strength comes tho ability to
carry the great rates to the miles end. and
to make into an actual achievement what
the soon-ended speed Of many low-bred AMI
mails had only suggested as possibility.

The Army Of Faith.

Tho next convention Of the Christian En-
deavor Societies Is to be held In New York In
1892. Judging by the recent meeting at
Minneapolis, it will be vast assemblage OF
the faithful from every State Of the Union.
from Canada, and from across the Atlantic.
The conventions have increased steadily
and rapidly in magnitude, 10000 persons
having been In attendance at tho meeting In
st. Louis last year, and the number growing
to $1,000 at Minneapolis last week. The en-
rolled membership OF the societies now
amounts to one million. and II it increases
in the ratio OF the ton years since their or
ganization, 1t Is likely to be q million and
half when the New York convention meets.
This is marvellous development of an
enterprise 30 new, and 1t has proceeded at
time when various enterprises Of a similar
religious purpose have been growing with
hardly less rapidlty. The organization OF
the Kings Daughter has been successful to
wonderful degree. The Chautauqua As
semhly is stretching out its branches In
every direction. Summer camps and schools
for study, at the basis OF which are religious
faith and zeal, are steadily multiplied, 80
that never before in our history was the

American life. 1t Is novel, too, In It's present
