Alarming increase In Lun.ey.

A mad world will perhaps be the
final outcome IL the recent statistics
on lunacy in England continue at the
present rate Of increase. One person
In every 266 In England and Wales is
officially declared to be insane by the
report OF the commissioners in lunacy
issued recently. These figures show
that the total number of insane people
has increased by 1850 as compared
with that of the previous year. The
figures show the interesting facts that
both the well to do and the criminal
classes are becoming saner. There are
is fewer criminal lunatics, while pau
per lunatics have increased by 1889.
This would show that 112 fewer per-
sons OF the better-off classes have been
certified as mentally deficient. In IS
years, viz. from 1859 to 1914, the num-
ber OF persons known to be under care
has increased from 36.762 to 140.237.

the duties of the position for the board
for some time past, but Mr.. Thaye1
