The government has lust published n
huge volume called satisfied Atlas, .
which In its way is the most remarkable
the edition so limited that few persons be-
sides congressman and public librarians
will be able TO got copies, Chiefly by
means OF colored maps and charts, 1t gives
an Immense amount OF Information about
the greatest variety of interesting matters
connected with this country and the peo-
pie who inhabit IL.
For example. 1t is interesting to learn
that thirteen out OF the 10000 people in
the United States are In prison. Seven
teen out of every 10000 are Insane, the
number being divided almost equally be-
tween the sexes. Race seems TO have a
marked relation to mental disturbances.
Nineteen out of every 10000 whites are
crazy, while only nine out OF every 10 900
colored folks are similarly affected. OF
the native whites. fourteen out of every
10000 arc mad, and OF the foreign born
thlrty-nlne Out OF every 10000. This seems
to prove that colored folks are much lcss
liable to insanity than whites, and the
foreign born much more so than native
Americans.
Seven out OF every 10000 inhabitants OF
the United States are deaf and dumb. OF
these 50 per cent are males and As per
cent females. The affllctiop is much less
common among colorcd people than among
whites. The Hungarians are the greatest
sufferers. fourteen out OF every 10000
being deaf mutes. The next in rank are

Now, good people, what will you
