lish, another senior in the expression
department of the college.
The stage was beautiful with pro-
fusion or flowers, tastefully arranged.
Miss Browning is a vivacious young
lady of the most charming personality.
Beautifully crowned, as she was, and
surrounded by flowers, she made an
enhancing picture. She reads with
clearness in enunciation and intelli-
gence in Interpretation. Especially
good was her work in the intense pas
sages. And the audience thoroughly
approved of everything she did. She
was repeatedly encored and was forced
to give several additional numbers.
The vivid selection by Bulwer-Lytton
and the poem Of Riley were perhaps
the best liked by the hearers.
Miss Browning is to be congratulate
ed on both her work and her choice of
assistants.

insane In Institutions In the United
States. HtH.

A special census Of 3T2 institutions for
the care of the insane was taken by the
United States census bureau in 1910, and
the number OF insane persons in the in
stitutions on January / OF that year was
found to be 1S7. 454. The number admitted
during 1910 was 0.6oS and he number dis
charged was s., $50. A special census taken
In 1904 showed the number in institutions
to be l5c, I51 and the number of persons
committed during hat year was 49,622. In
the six years from 1904 TO 1910 there was
an increase of 1903, or 2AS per cent of
the patients confined, and an increase OF
10, 9S1, or FL per cent OF the number an.
nually committed to such asyiums. The
number Of insane in asylums per 10000
population In 1904 was 1862; in 1910 it was
2O3.S. The annual commitment per 100000
of population increased from 6l.5 in 1904 to
$50 In 1910. showing an increase OF ~ in
1910. This. of course, includes only those
committed to hospitals; and the increase
may be due to an extension OF this meth
cd of care for the insane and also to the
increase in the number of institutions,
which amounted to Il per cent. Massa-
chusetts had the largest number OF in
sane patients in institutions on January
l., 1910. amounting to 344.6 per 10000 popu-
latiop. While New York had 343.1 per 1OO,-
600 Of population. These states are prob
ably better provided with institutions than
most other states and besides have pa
tients from other states. The District OF
Columbia exceeds both of these states in
the number of patients in institutions, for
the District contains the government hos
pital, which draws patients from a much
wider area h any Of the states. The
number of the insane in hospitals for the
insane In the states south and west Is
much less thar in the east. In the states
west OF the Mississippi river, owing to
rapid increase in population largely from
the eastern states. the number OF insane
is less. says the. Journal Of the American
Medical Association. because the popula-
ton represents a class In which insanity
is less prevalent; also provision for the
care of insane I'm these states probably
has not kept pace Will the increase in
population.

Who Nav Vote In China.

Mr.. Ng Poon Chew, a Chinese editor
In California, writing in the May
Worlds Work, says that the scheme
devised by the revolutionary leaders
for the government OF a Chinese re-
public Is different from the govern
mental scheme in the United States.
The leaders in the movement were thor
oughly aware OF the mental condition
OF the Chinese people at large, and
knew that many years must necessarily
elapse before the masses are sufficient
ly educated to be able TO appreciate
and exercise the full rights OF suffrage.
Therefore. during the period Of re-
that the suffrage shall be very limited
and The selection OF public servants Is
to be very simple. The right to vote
will be conditions upon educational and
property holding qualifications. The
qualified. voters will elect the members
OF the district council. the council will
select officials OF the district and enact
laws for the government of the district
and will also select representatives
from the district as members of the
provincial assembly. The provincial
assembly will select the oficials, and
enact the laws OF the province. The
provincial assembly will also select
representatives to the national assem-
bly,. The national assembly will pass all
laws for the central government, will
approve all treaties with foreign coun-
tries, will elect a president and q vice
president and a premier and will ap-
prove OF reject all appointments made
