Increase of LInzcY.

A famous British physician, DE-.
Forbes Winslow, collected figures That
in all civilized countries lunacy was
largely on the increase.
In 1859 there was one lunatic in
every $50 of the population. Today
there is one in every 275. In France
so years ago there was one insane per-
son in every $50 Of the population.
Today there is one In every 300"
This increase he attributed to al
cohol, social competition and strain,
hereGity. and injudicious marriages,
adding shat If the present rate Of the
growth Of lunacy continued we should
have more insane than sane IN the
world coo years hencA

Bells of ST. Paul's.

The bells of st. Paul's Cathedral,
according to a writer in the British
Workman; are rung on Sundays,
holy days, and special occasions by
twelve members of the Society of the
College Youths. To become a mem
Der of this society very severe tests
have to be passed in cainpanology.
The duty of Ginning the bells for the
weekday service falls upon Mr.
George Harrison, who, by passing the
ropes through series of pulleys and
bringing them together, is enabled to
chime six bells by himself. He
chimes the bells for the o'clock
service, starting at 7:45 with two
bells for ten minutes, then ringing
one bell for five minutes. For the 10
and 4 o'clock services he chimes six
bells for ten minutes, then one bell
for five minutes. "The ringing OF the
twelve bells on Sunday morning and
afternoon" says Mr.. Harrison, els
done by the members Of the Society
of College Youths, which society has
been in existence since 1897 There
is no doubt il is one of the finest
peals of bells TO be found"

Free Drinks for italian Lawmakers.

Stormy sittings of the Italian cham
Der of deputies have led to increased
consumption of liquids, and some
economists are endeavoring to abolish
free drinks. When a deputy rises to
deliver set grafton, coffee and iced
water are brought him by messen-
ger One of the speakers neighbors
pours him out a cup, and keeps it re-
plenished. There is a buffet in the
outer lobby where deputies are sup
piled gratuitously with beer, wine
spirits, coffee, ices and mineral wa
ters, and in hot weather this is well
patroniZed
As. however, the value of the
drinks consumed last year by the
500 deputies was barely $4,000 (of
which $4,000 went for mineral waters)
they cannot be accused of excessive
thirst.
Parliamentary representative in
Italy receive no pay. Free drinks and
free railway travel are the only priv
ileges they enjoy.

on black bread, leguminous food and

NEARLY HALF OF .<..
CROPS ARE UNSOLD
Report Of Agricultural Department
Says Farmers Have Still Much
Corn and Oats Left.

Des Moines, March PA state
ment just issued by the publicity de-
partment of the Iowa department Of
agriculture says that As per cent of the
corn crop of 1912 and AZ per cent of
the crop Of oats in 1912 has not been
sold but still remains in the hands of
the Iowa farmers. Many farmers hold
their crops for better prices. Others
have been unable to sell this year be-
cause Of the poor railroad service. At
some points in the state, especially
the smaller shipping stations, it has
been almost impossible to get cars for
shipment of grain. The shipping
month for corn is December and dur
ing this month this year the state was
thousands of cars short on it's actual
needs.
The statement indicates that there
are about 200,0OO,O0O bushels of corn
of the 1912 crop still in the hands of
the farmers of the state and this is
sufficient warrant that the farmers are
going to have plenty Of money coming
in during the summer if they need it.
