INSANITY IN PRUSSIA.
Family Doctor.

The steady increase of insanity in England
has long been attracting attention, but it
seems from recent German official return
that in this respect Prussia is not whit be-
hind us, If indeed, 1t is not tending to fill its
lunatic asylums ata more pid tie than this
country. In 1871 the total number of lunatics
IN Prussia was %, ,063, in 1880 il had riss 10
66.34o, while Iii 1896 Ii had gone up TO
81. 500. 1t is curious.y interesting note
also that, while The growth of insanity is gen.
eral, 1t Is more marked among men lhan
among women. OF loo, 600 Prussinn males It
see m, @7S are found insane, but in a like num-
Der OF women only 243. From figures given
In the same return il would seem that blind
ness Is diminishing. while the number Of deaf
mules Is rather increasing.

BROWN EYES.

The sea comes sobbng into the sands,
sweet brown eyes and clover white:
And high abov rock and cleaning shore
~ he seagull screams ia its flight;
The south wind sings lone, sad song,
As he tumb es The grasses over.
And Its echoes ring in my yearuin. heart
Sweet brown eyes and clover.
''The summer is dead, >" is the south winds song
sweet brown eyes and cover white:
The sunshine il pale, the moonshine dim,
And the stars have a siCkly light:
From uplands misty and meadows gray
Comes the rest eIs cry of the plover-
The night and the day to me one,
sweet brown eyes ana clover.
The years are many, the years are long,
sweet brown eyes and clover white:
In this gray old world there few in love,
There Is naugh. that Is glad and ight
And yearn for a lane, with the wild rose il
bloom,
With the May winds murm uring over.
And face that hold as the dearest Of earth,
sweet brown eyes and clover.

"sIR w1LtRID LAURlER'so GUNS"
London Chronicle.

London Chronicle.
There have been for some time past serious
rumors, TO which we ourselves hesitated to
give currency, as TO q notable development
of Canadian armaments. Now the London
correspondent of the Birmingham Post
whose information as TO the Colonial Office is
not likely to be altogether wrong = dec ares
that new scheme of defenses has been
matured for Montreal and the river below.
and that Sir Wilrid Laurler has at once
on his return set about buying heavy guns
and field batteries. We are not surprised
The unhappy hostile attitude of the United
States and the destruction OF the arbi-
tration treaty force the Government of this
country TO calculate dangers which are
shocking to contemplate. and which we have
hitherto been very willing to ignore. II by
any chance we found ourselves threatened
with war in Ame-ica, there would be little
doubt that the main idea of the authorities
at Washington would b. a raid on Canada
Against such risk the empire must be
prepared. We sincerely hope Sir Milfrid
L4urier's guns will never have to be fired
but the Canadian frontier is exactly one OF
those points where the best way of avoidipg
attack is to be amply ready for defense.

For souls that are IN bon age still:
When from this prison-hOuse set free
No tears for me-
No flowers for me! For bridal bowers
For youth and beauty keep your flowers.

No flowers for me!
No weeds for mel Nay, rather wear
The garments that dsem'd most fair
And say and fashiou'd fttingly:

Craven on your heart my name will be.

sUBJEcTFoR GRAVE DISCUSSION
Los Angeles Herald.

The subject OF annexation has not been suf-
ficiently aired before the people of this coun-
try. 1t should be more thoroughly discussed
before the treaty now pending before the
senate is acted on. 1t is q question of the
greatest gravity, and sympathy with the few
Americans on the islands should not over
come sober judgment. The step of annexation,
when once taken, cannot be retraced.
