Statistics gathered by the bureau tend
to show that insanity is increasing in this coun-
try at tremendous rate, but there may be
plantations. The statistics just made public have,
at first glance alarming aspect, which seems
to indicate that insanity in this country has in
creased rapidly in the last quarter of century.
Whether this is remains subject to further
corroboration, for what the figures really show
are the number of insane restrained of their lib
erty and cared for either by the state or by their
own relatives in established institutions In
crease in the number of inmates at these places
may therefore be interpreted from point of
view as proof that such unfortunates are now
being given more humane attention than hereto
fore. The population of the country has in
creased by leaps and bounds until it has passed
the so. 600 600 mark. As the number of capable

about the average for the last II years. The

with the lazy bug. while the remaining ten per

THE BARLEY

The grain stands bonny where the cliffs
And the blue North Sea is sleeping;
The stocks are yellow in golden ear
With their shadows inward creeping.
The tide lies silent on the sands below
And the autumn mists hang early
TO fade in heaven o'er the distant row
of the long red roofs beyond tho barley
0 late last harvest time, when days
were long
Worked men and maids by the stead
ing;
TO the river pastures heading.
Soft was the footstep that beside me
trod
In the dew OF morning early,
For Love walked there beneath the
smile of God
And the high blue sky above the barley.
The stalks fall mellow to the sweeping
with their weeds laid shorn beside
And eyes meet stealthhy as lad and
Glance over where the stocks divide
But mine turn ever while work alone
Through the long day, late and early,
TO low mound lying by a standing
where the wall shuts out the barley
Where the Neither Kirk Is grey, Janet.
