great sensation and caused the most

Noulet had become mentally affected

Curiously enough the killing oc-

A FEW years ago the man who dc
clared that insanity Is increasing was

But he appears to be coming out on

by statistics which are scarcely qucs-

sion reports that the increase has
been nearly 10 per cent In the last forty
years. In France and the United
States the increase is undoubtedly
more However, IL appears that in

centage of insanity among the Indians
was recently given as so small II was
scarcely worth taking into consdera-

all the inferior races, 1t Is very low,
Insanity, and we might add suicide,
which is its twin brother, appears to be
the accompaniment Of rapid, nerY-
GUS, strenuous life, life of unremit-

in mental disease indicates abnormal

certainly be no reason why the white

as happy and healthy as the brown
