Var Over Mills.

In the case Of Ada Growing VS.. Joe
Mudrow, recently decided in the Su-
preme Court of Arkansas. a controversy
involving one-quarter of a cent was
decided. The case involved the title
to a piece of land which had been sold
for taxes, and the title was attacked
because of the alleged illegal sale.
The case was tried on an agreed
statement of facts, which showed that
the legal amount for which it could be
sold was 81 2SA, while the sale was
made by the collector for "a 20, thus
exceeding the legal amount by one
quarter Of / cent. In the opinion JUS
tice Hughes said:
THE only question in this case is.
Does a sale of land for one-cuarter of
cent more than is due upon it render
the sale void? It is true that a sale of
land for taxes for an amount substan-
tally in excess Of the amount due upon
il will render the sale void. But in
this case the overcharge was not sub
stantial. being for only one-quarter of
q cent, an amount less than the least
coin issued by the Government
ITO hold this sale invalid would seem
to be absurd. There would be no wav
Of making the exact change, and it
seems trivial, and more reasona BILE that
the party whose duty it was to pay the
tax should pay one-quarter of a cent
too much than that the Government
should lose three-quarters of a cent.
The excess in this case was trihing and
did not invalidate the sale. "-American

Increase of Insanity.

London. says DR.. Robert Jones, is re-
sponsible for the production of over
seventy insane persons a week. In 1859
there were in England 36,762 insane, or
to $50 of the population: there are
to-day 113,964. or 1 to 293 The re-
covery rate from all cases Of mania
is also decreasing, being now 1874 per
cent MelanchOlia is increasing, and
also premature dementia. The same
complaint comes from the continent.
Some statisticians contend that the in
crease is not real, but due to better
census taking, segregation and the
great increase of the population, but
there is a general conviction that the
increase is altogether too definite to
be explained in those ways. For the
past six years the total increase Of
the insane in both public and private
institutions of New York has averaged
708 but the increase to October 1, 1908,
was GAL over the previous year. The
increase in the State hospitals, not in
Guiding the two asylums for the GRIM
inal insane, was 91S, as against 663,
the average of the past six years. There
are at present nearly $4,000 patients in

White of Washington contends that
there is more insanity in New Eng
land than elsewhere; and the amount
decreases steadily as one goes from
