MADNESS AVERTED.
Kew HindOOs Regulate Their Lives
and Treat Their Disa-
btIitiea.

Why are there so few lunatic asy.
lums, and so small a proportion of in
sane persons, In India? That is Q ques-
ton which many a traveller has won
deringly asked. Two of the essential
conditions that lead to insanity in our
own country are ever present in India,
namely, great heat and bad food, yet
the Hindoo is strangely free from men-
tai alteration, says the Cincinnati En-.
quirer.
The Hindoos regulate their lives en-
tirely in accordance with their reli-
gion; that is, their working, eating,
sleeping, as well as what we usually
regard as our "life" in the religious
sense of the word. Everything is ar
canged for them, and they follow the
sules now just as they did 1000 years
ago. This constant observance of the
same rules for 20 centuries has nodded
the brains of the race into one shape,
asi 1t were; and although their rites are
queer enough, yet there is but an Occa-
sional example Of that striking deVia-
ton from the common, which is called
insanity in countries inhabited by the
white race.
They are fatalists, too; with them
