FOLDING RiRRER CHAIRS.
Put to various Special Uses In Widely Dif.
ferent .LOcaIitIes.

"We make nowadays" said a New York
dealer in barber shop equipments and sup
plies, folding barber chairs which, when
folded up, occupy little more space than a
folded steamer chair. They are used in
widely different circumst
Finished in the plain wood without
covering or upholstery. they are used in
the army. They are also used by travelling
barbers who carry them about in buggies,
say.
And then the folding barber chair is
used to some extent right here in the city.
In some of the greater hotels such chair,
of finer wood and finish, and with such
upholstery as can be placed on a folding
chair, forms part of the hotel barber's
shop equipment. When guest of the house
desires to be shaved in his own quarters
this chair is sent up to his room.
Such chairs are used TO some extent in
private houses. In one case that l know
of there is an alcove in the bathroom int
which the folding chair fits--out of the way
and out of sight.
"The folding barber chair, as used by the
travelling barber. would be most likely to be

sane in order to keep them from meeting
what they believe to be an awful fate.
AS far as l have been able to learn
Indian tribes never made provision to care
for their insane. The most that was pro-
vlded was casual sort> Of care given by
relatives. But the attentions OF Indian
relatives are not worth much and the result
has been that often they have passed
their insane along to other tribes.
1T is peculiar fact that Indians will
desert unfortunates Take for example
the case of the great chief Red Cloud
He is living in hut on the Pine Ridge
reservation. deserted by all save his wife,
who can contribute nothing to his support.
The old chief is afflicted with distressing
ailment, but not one of his relatives save
his wife will have a thing to do with him.
Il was so impressed by the neglect under
which he was suffering that tried to bring
him here. His mind is still remarkably
alert, however, and he would not hear of
going to hospital for the insane.
What is perhaps the principal cause
Of insanity among whites, overwork or
anxiety over financial difficulties, Of course
finds no victims among Indians.
Our treatment is simple. We allow
the Indians to follow their own likes and
dislikes, 80 far as can safely be done. Those
who want to be free to go outdoors are

anything else. This is manifested In different
ways, but most of these manifestations
would have been improbable or impossible
in the former wild life of the Indian. That
broodine should follow when the Indians
cannot have the employment of hunting
or making visits at a distance and are
even prohibited from indulgmg in their
native dances is natural
One of the consequences of the self
centering of the life Of the Indian has been
growth in domestic difficulties. Many
of the Indian insane have reached their
condition because of worrying over family
affairs. The same unrest and discomfort
have been marked on the reservations Of
South Dakota, where divorce has in the
last ten years become popular with the
Indians. Among those who cannot put
aside their domestic troubles by appealing
to the divorce court insanity is found.
For example, a full-blooded Sioux Indian
became insane because Jealous OF his wife
and was brought here. He had become
prosperous by utilizing his land allotment
and selling cattle, and was worth in the
neighbour of 5000
His prosperity had attracted the attention
OF other Indians, and one of these had won
the affections of his squaw, and the hus-
band had brooded over this until his mind
became unsettled.
The sun., 1903-12-27

A succession of misfortunes sent a full
blooded Pima Indian of Arizona to this
hospital. He had had seven children. One by
one every one of the children had died One
day his squaw was lost, and when he found
her she was dead.
The Indian could not forget his sor-
rows, for he had no wars to fight and no
game to kill He brooded until he became
insane.
There are now thirty-four insane Indians
in the hospital, which is the only institution
of it's kind in the world having been COM
pleted year ago Supt. Clifford has no
doubt that all the fifty rooms will he taken
up within another year.
vt is very difficult 10 find Indians who
are insane" said Supt. Clifford. AT first
we could find not more than a half dozen in
the entire United States. But we are be-
ginning to hear from them now from the
remotest districts.
There are undoubtedly a great many
patients who should be in the hospital
now that we have never heard about. Some
of them are shielded by relatives.
@These relatives imagine that patients
here are locked in rooms and not allowed
to have the freedom of an outdoor life.
Their intuition tells them that this would be
disastrous, so it has happened that relatives
have declared insane Indians perfectly
The sun., 1903-12-27

! allowed to do so, except, of course, the
epileptc patients.
Some Of the Indians have fancy for
working. The men make blankets and
the squaws work with beads We encourage
the Indians to find employment as it takes
their minds off their troubles. We even
allow them to indulge in native dances,
If they are not dangerously exciting, as we
think the normal habits Of the Indian are
most apt to bring him back to "A possession
of his faculties.
Even in the short time the hospital has
been open, we have been able to record
beneficial results. None of the Indians
has been discharged as cured, but three
patients will undoubtedly be released in
the spring, and others have shown marked
improvement,
There are several full blooded Indians,
but majority are half breeds. Eight
tribes are represented and insanity seems,
among the red men, to have no relation
to geography"

INDIAN INSANITY GROWING.
FORCED CIVILIZATION ONE
CHEF CAUSE OF 1T.
Facts Learned During the First Year Of
the Only Hospital for Insane Indians In
the WOrld-Indians Brood MOre-DO-
nestle Troubles Cause OF Insanity.

CANTON, s. D., Dec. 26.-At the close of
the first years existence of the National
Hospital for Insane Indians the first data
ever collected about Indian insanity indicate
that forced civilization is responsible for
much of it.
In its first year half the capacity Of the
hospital has been taken up. In few
months the last room will have been taken,
and additions will be necessary. But
there will still be at large many Indians
hopelessly insane, and it is believed that
the ratio of insanity will undoubtedly con-
tinue to grow.
Supt o. S. Clifford and DR.. j. F. Tur-
por, assistant superintendent ard ply
sician of the hospital agree that the chief
cause of insanity among Indians is de-
spondency. just as with the whites,
