Chinese Artist.

In the fourth century A. ID. there
lived in China an artist, who was also
a poet. His name was Ku K'ai-chih.
In London there is a painting, a long
scroll, which for at least thousand
years has been treasured as his work;
and though that cannot be proved, it
is in all probability a painting by his
hand. One day, we are told, he in
trusted to a friend chest full OF
paintings which he had collected, For
better security he fastened the lid OF
the chest and sealed the fastening
with a seal. The friend, however,
coveted the paintings, and hit on the
simple expedient of removing the
bottom of the box and so abstracting
them. When the box was restored to
Ku K'ai-chih, he broke the seal and
found 1t empty. But he suspected
no theft and expressed no surprise

In all civilized countries lunacy was
largely on the increase.
I'm 1859 there was one lunatic in

there is one in every 275. In France
60 years ago there was one insane per-
son in every 760 Of the population.
Today there is one in every 300"
This increase he attributed to al
