INSANITY OF ENGLISH.
One in Every 800 is Demented Says
Professor Schooling.

Professor John Holt Schooling, fell
low of the Royal Statistical Society of
Great Britain, has just completed a
very interesting investigation by which
ne has been enabled to show some Gu
rious facts relative to the insanity of
the British people. He tells US how
many persons go mad and why they do
so. He declares that one person in
every 800 of the population of Britain
is a maniac, and that that ratio prom
ises to increase.
The results of Professor Schooling,s
mathematical calculation, boiled down
into succinct facts, show that in every
10000 of the English and Welsh pop
ulation. 31.4 people are lunatics In
every 10000 of the Scotch population,
$50 people are lunatics In every
10000 Of the Irish population 40.3 peo-
pie are lunatics.
Entering into the causes as to why
men go mad, Professor Schooling
strikes a mighty blow for the cause of
temperance when he makes the state,
ment solely inspired by his investiga-
tons and the accurate results thereof,
that drink, liquor, sends mad nearly
one-third Of all the persons who become
insane in Great Britain from the eight
leading causes Of insanity in that ter
ritory.
He places these eight principal causes

The Towns of Crete.

A writer in the ST. Petersburg Vie
domosti'' gives the following account of
the towns of Crete: Gambia, Retimo,
Canea, are of the Crete of the hun
dred towns the only three cities exist
ing, and in using the word city every
attenuation must be understood. Can
dia, situated at the mouth of a little
river. the Geofro, was built in the
ninth century by the Saracens on the
site of Heraklion, one of the ports OF
Cnossus. The distance between Cnos-
sus and Gambia is under an hours
walking, and in antiquity the two
places were connected by walls, which
recalled those between Piraeus and
Athens. In the time of Venetian SOW
ereignty Gambia enjoyed great prosper
ity. To-day its aspect is essentially
Turkish on account of it's houses, it's
mosques. its minarets, and its bazars,
in which are exposed all the products of
the East. 1t is surrounded by bas-
toned will, almost triangular in shape.
Within there is another wall separating
the old town from the new, the latter
being nearer the river. Ihe Iortlnca-
tions date from the Venetians, but war
and earthquakes have left little or
nothing of the citys ancient splendor.
Tournefort has called it only the car
cass Of a city It's chief monuments
are the remains of the church OF st.
Francis and the old Latin cathedral to
ST. Titus. It's population is between
1900 and 14,OOO, mostly Mussulmans.
The port is protected by two moles, but
the sand has been allowed to silt up so
much that only very small vessels can
enter It's chief trade is with Trieste,
which takes from it raisins and oil in
return for soaps. Canea comes next
to Gambia with a population of ll.OOO,
equally divided between Christians and
Mohammedans. Canea is the ancient
Cydonia. The modern town dates
from 1852 and is the principal port of
the island, the commercial capital, and
the residence of the foreign consuls.
Not far from Canea is the admirable
anchorage of Suda Bay. Retimo, the
third town, is fifty-five miles south
west of Gambia. Its population is not
above 3,000.''

Spring Costume.

One of the most effective costumes
for spring wear is material of a navy
blue grenadine, made over a petticoat
of emerald green taffeta. The skirt
is to be very full, and will have elabor-
ate trimmings of black braid running g
up the two front gore seams and about
the bottom OF the two side cores. The
bodice is to be made very plain and
tight fitting and braided, so as to give
the effect of revers. The stock will
be q green taffeta and will have front
piece which is set in, giving a yoke
effect. This stock may easily be re-
placed for one of cream or lace. which
gives charming touch. The sleeves
are to be tight to above the elbow, fin
ished with a small puff. also braided in
design. A black satin girdle is to be
worn with this costume, and, altogeth-
err the affair is as dainty and becoming
as can be imagined.

What some of our English cousins do
not know about this country and its
geography and history would fill some
volumes. In a recent official examina-
ton in London the question was asked
If New England was a part Of Massa-
chusetts-as New England was in its
early history presumably. No one pres
ent appeared to know. whereupon the
early history, presumably. No one pres
ent who can answer that question:"
Then up rose an Associated Press re-
porter and gave the necessary informa-
tion. Then came the question, Was
Plymouth in Massachusetts? And
again the reporter came to the rescue.
The idea that a great and learned body
such as the Consistory Court of the Dio-
cese of London, should not know the re-
lation of New England to Massachu-
setts, and in what territory is the spot
where the Mayfiower Pilgrims landed
is more than amusing.

Thousands of women lead childless, love-
