Managers of AsyiIlnis Agree that Lu.
macy Is on tho Increase.
Fol n few years reports of managers
of asylums for the insane have gen.
orally agreed that insanity is on the in
crease in this country, the feverish
character of life being assigned as q
potent aus Only occasionally has 1t
been suggested that the conclusions as
to the increase We're wrong and that
the larger number of insane found in
public institutions indicated a more
general resort to such institutions
rather than an increase in the ratio Of
insane to population. Some support
for this theory is found in a recent an
nouncement by the Indiana board Of
state charities. The board thinks it
safe to say that insanity is not in
creasing proportionately i'll Indiana.
Possibly. could we sift the poor-asy-
lum population and verify our figures,
we should find that a less proportion
ate number of our population is insane
than was the cast twenty years ago."
From the most reliable statistics OBJ
tainable it is learned that the ratio Of
insane to the population in Indiana in
1880 was II in 165. No, figures for
1890 are available. but in 1892 the
ratio vas stated to be approximately
nj to GOO. In 1898 the ratio, based
upon the population estimated by the
bureau of statistics. was thought to be
one to CTS. Taking the number that
year $4,000 and using the population
cf 1900. the ratio would be one to 5S5.
Using the figures tabulated in the Of
flee of the board, the ratio would be,
according to the census of 1900, one to
55S. AS explaining how lists Of the in
sane are sometimes unduly swelled,,
the board says that Predetermined or
epileptic persons and those in a senile
condition are often classified as insane,

on the morning after the battle of Mon
mouth as Gen. Washington. He who
had determined to force the Britons to a
general engagement, now awoke to the
realization that. though superior in
numbers, they had no notion of fighting
the Americans.
He was at his headquarters awaiting
the return of scouts sent to find the en-
envy, when Gen. Greene entered, accom-
panied by a young woman. with golden
hair disheveled, a cooked hat ON her head
and am military coat.
Gen. Washington, 1 want to present
to o the heroine of Monmouth," said
Gen. Greene. "This young woman's
husband was killed yesterday at his gun,
and she took his place. No man in Os-
wald's artillery deserves as much credit
as She"
Washington took Molly's hand and
commended her for her bravery. He
commissioned her sergeant, and by his
direction her name was placed on the
list of half-pay officers.

There never lived a more generous man
than the Father of his Country, and had
Lee shown ordinary prudence he might
have retained his place in the army.
After the first vent of his indignation on
seeing Lee making a shameful retreat be-
fore the enemy, Washington was willing
to overlook the net, and forget and for
