tera of Mental Derangement.
In a recent lecture delivered before
the National Geographical Society at
Washington DR.. William A. White, di-
rector of the Binghamton branch of the
New York insane asylum, devoted
much attention to the geographical dis
tribution OF insanity. At the outset of
his lecture DIR. White produced certain
facts and figures showing that beyond
doubt insanity was increasing much
more rapidly than the population. The
cause of this, he said. was due to hered-
ity; that is to say, the unrestricted
marrying of those tainted with lnsan-
ity, and to the fact of this country be-
ing the dumping ground for the trash of
Europe. In support of his latter asser-
ton he quoted figures showing that 25
per cent of the $4,000 insane persons
confined In New York asylums were of
foreign birth.
Insanity was most prevalent he
stated, in regions where competition
was strongest and where the struggle
for existence ragged the fiercest. Thus
the two great centers of insanity in the
United States were, he said. New Eng
land, where there Is one insane person
for every 1886 inhabitants, and Califor-
MIA. where there is one lunatic for every
$50 people. 81. @...., ..,.....
The region of least insanity. he stated,
was that section Of the West from the
Rockies to the Mississippi comprising
the great agricultural and stock-raising
belt. He showed that insanity was I'M
known among the Indians. and almost
SO among the Southern negroes. al.
though in the North. where the negro
comes in competition with white labor
his suicide rate runs to high point.
DR.. White presented some figures
which seem to indicate that of all occu
pations that of agriculture is the least
liable to produce insanity. The popula
ton Of mining and lumber camps had g
relatively high rate of insanity, where
as in ali farming sections it was ex
ceedinglylow.
In conclusion. he stated that the prin
cipal causes and agents of insanity
were alcoholism. mental worry, despair
disappointment and all the other pains
that aff1ict the mind in a highly civil
lied state. where the struggle for exist
ence is sharp and pitiless.

resounded with their wailings. The
bowls of the dogs added to the out

A SONG FOR THE WEARY.

life is but world Of battles;
You must fight them would you win
Titb the idleness that prattles,
3 Victory has never been;
Then why should you be complaining
If in one attempt you fail!
Essh endeavor gives you training,
Till at last you shall prevail.
Nuggets Of success are lying
Underneath life's rugged road;
Dig and dig, and keep on trying
Till you strike the precious lode.
Skies above you will be bluer
As along the way you tread,
Friends around you will be truer,
So be brave and go ahead.
Time is 6eeting, SO be doing
Any task there is for you;
You are stronger, while accruing
Gain Of good and wisdom, too.
Be not with the drones and strikers,
As through life they idly stroll;
Victory belongs to workers,
StriVesand you will reach the goal.

MISSIONARY ON RACE SUICIDE.

Rev. DR.. Ryder of Opinion that Ameri"
cans Are Not Decreasing.
Rev. DR.. @. J. Ryder, secretary OF the
American Missionary Association, al
luding to recent alarming views of the
daily press and the weekly religious
Journals with regard to the decrease OF
native population in the United States,
says:
even our President called attention
to this danger. The disaster which
threatened the nation on account of the
vast food Of foreign immigrants, and
the fact that American people were
diving out, have presented serious con-
siderations. Careful compilation, how
ever, Of the statistics does not sustain
this view. The twelfth census shows
that the birth rate in the United States
Is slightly larger in the decennial period
1890 to 1900 than In that of 1850 to
1890. Another interesting feature Is
that the greatest increase occurred In
the northeastern group Of the States,
including New England. This, again, is
contrary to a preconceived opinion. 1t
has been assumed that, especially In
New England, the birth rate-and SO
the native population-was decreasing
These facts show that the great prob
lem is still among the dependent peo-
pie in our own land, and does not arise
from the rapid increase of foreigners
The birth rate among the negroes Is
vastly larger than that among the
whites. The national problem still
abides in the South land, and is that OF
the Christian education and elevation
of the colored people"

The damage, said Mr. somerby in his

will enable the boom company to- drive

The dam will not be destroyed until some
other means is found of keeping up the

summer it becomes very low, when the
dam Is opened. - ~
