Drink and Insanity.

Temperance statistics have often been ridiculed, but tis quite
 easy to get as accurate statistics on some of the bad effects of the liquor traffic as upon any
 other subject. Nobody will dis pute figures prepared by Dr. Daniel Clarke, late superinten= dent of the lunatie asylum ia Toronto. Dr. Clarke testified
 before the commission that out of 6,0o0 cases of insanity he had examined, 915 per cent were pro- dueed by drink. In round mum bers, one lllnatic in every ten was made by drink. In round numbers. one lunatic in every ten was made by liquor. But that is not all. AS Dr. Clarke testified, insanity k often produced by combined causes The drink habit may combine with domestic troubles, business trouble, worry. overwork, or any other of the eX- citing causes that make luna- tiee. It Is the soul or mair cause of insanity in one case out of every ten, and d contributing cause i'll many others. There
 then, we have one awful lac made clear. aud that, too, by one of the most distinguished spec
 ialists on the continent. Tht next time you pass an asylum

MISS SUTTON TO GET PRIZE.
Tri-State Tournament Committee
 Orders Trophy Made.

The directors of the Tri-State lawn tennis tournament have voted to have made trophy for Miss May G. Sutton, the California lawn tennis player, who won outright the bowl offered first in 1904. Miss Sutton's victory in September gave her the trophy as her property, but the man. agers could not find the bowl.
 The donor of it died shortly before the tournament and search through his effects and various safety deposit vaults and the like failed to bring it to light. It was decided at length that all that could be done was to have another prize made. The first bowl, which cost the club nothing, was worth $250. The committee vot- ed to spend that sum in having a duplicate made. The committee will have to buy another for the future tournaments.

French Schools.

The quality of the secular instruc- ton in the French schools seemed to me extraordinarily high. It happened. for example, that I was taken into a classroom where a lesson fin English was being given to some French boys of sixteen. mostly the sons of opera tives. The. exercise was conducted in excellent English, which the pupils seemed to speak almost as readily as the teacher. and the point under dis cussion when I visited the class was one which would have puzzled Har- yard freshmen It was the distinction in meaning between the words priest a Catholic ecclesisstic; clergyman-an Anglican. and minister-a dissenter. In American schools, or. rather, in the results of the instruction there afford ed 1 have never come across the teaching of any foreign language which compared i1 efseiency with the teaching of English in secondary schools throughout France And to all appearances this was only one cram pie of the thorouzhness and the vitaii

Easy Way In Which a Domestic Rup.
 ture Was Averted.
 The troubles which are brought to a parish prisst for solution are almost infinite in their variety. In a certain Prusian village, says Friedrich August Dressler in "Moltke In His Home,' ar old woman came to her spiritual ad giser and proposed a separation from her husband.
 "If he would beat me-" she said, 'that would be all right; that would show that he was really my man. But he calls me worse names; he calls me a 'subjectg I will not stand for that!''
 "So, subject ehT' said the priest "Yes, that is bad. It is bad word. l did not think he would say that. But are you sure you understood? Did he say subject or 'objectT"
 The old woman shook her head. She was not certain. The priest smiled SC renely.
 "Ah, I thought so," he said. "Now, am sure that is what he called you. 'subject would have been very bad. It would be hard to forgive that. but object pooh, 1t is nothing. If at all. it fiatters one"
 The woman laughed happily. "And. then, I need not leave him7 I can still keep him for my manT' she asked eagerly.
 Certainly" said her mentor. "and rejoice. Object that is very fine. veryI I was sure he did not say sub jectr"
 She went away entirely satisfied. and the priest heard of no more dis agreements between the couple.
