THE FIRST INSANE ASYLUM.
To Virginia Belongs the Credit In This
Country.

Virginia can lay claim to the proud
distinction of having founded the first
institution exclusively for the insane
upon this continent. According to DIR.
Drewry. superintendent of the State
Central Hospital, Petersburg, Va,
who writes Interestingly on the mat.
ter, in 1869 the House of Burgesses
providing for building for the insane
at Williamsburg, then the capital Of
the colony. This event preceded by
thirty years the revolution in the treat
ment of the insane introduced by
Pinel, of France. and Tuke, of Eng
land. In 1902 Virginia provided Sec
ond public institution for her insane
at Staunton. and in 1870 she organized
the first asylum exclusively for the col
Ored insane in the world. DIR. Drewry
states that at the present time the
population of Virginia is about l, 200,
600, two thirds being white and one
third colored. OF these 3.1O0 have
been adjudged insane. ratio of one
in nearly every 900 of the. population.
The ratio in the whites is slightly larg
or than that IN the negroes, though in
recent years insanity has increased
more rapidly among the latter than
the former.
The following statistics are signiti-
cant: On October l. 1887, there were
in the State hospitals LII white and
494 colored insane; total, 1905. There
are now 1850 white aud $40 negro in
sane at these institutions, total of
2,S20, showing an increase of 1,215, OF
an annual net gain of ninety two IN
the hospital population. From the
above figures it will be gathered that
as in all parts of the world insanity In
Virginia seems to show an increase.
and in consel eluence accommodation in
the State hospitals for the unfortunate
suffering from that disease is altogeth-
or inadequate.
It is stated that during the past two
years 1872 colored and many white in
sane have died in jail, or at their homes,
while waiting for vacancies to occur in
the hospitals. In the earlier stages OF
insanity. if the maladv is treated intel
ligently, the chances OF recovery are
favorable, while il an opposite course
is pursued the majority of cases viii.
become incrrable and chronic. The
practice OF condemning an insane per-
son to Jail like common criminal is
unworthy of rich, civilized, and

JAPANESE GIRLS GOWNS.
A BIissfuI Land where the Fashions
of Feminine Apparel Never
Change.

The dress of japanese girl is made
of straight pieces sewed together.
Japanese sewing is very different from
ours. There are no. ruftes, no gath
ers no bias folds, the, fashions never
change, and a girl may wear her
mothers or grandmother frock with
out a thought of fit or fashion. There
are. however, prescribed dresses for
different classes of society. y Jap
anese can tell at a glance, but Eu-
ropean will get hopelessly bewildered
at the class distinction indicated by
n tiny thread Of color in the sleeve,
a slight variation in the way of wear
ing the hair. -|
The upper-class Japanese girl usual
ly has the loose upper garment OF
some dull color. lined with brighter
tint. Our fashion of putting bright
silk Innings in our coats came from
Japan.
But the most interesting article of
a Japanese girls toilet to herself is
her belt. First, width of crepe is
wound around the waist to hold the
dress in right positions; over this
comes the belt proper, IT is often at
least 16 inches wide, made of many
substances. but always lined with
some heavy material like canton fan
mel Some of these brocade belts
with laces, which come from the
shoulders to the feet, cost as much as
$500 or 5000.
It takes a good deal of skill to get
the belts on just right, and large
part of japanese girls education
consists i'm learning exactly how to
do it.-Chicago Evening News.
