THE SEX OF THE ulsANE

OF approximately every Eve hundred
persons in the United States in 1910,
there was one an inmate of an asylum.
The exact figures expressed in recent
report of the census bureau, state that
in a typical community Of 100000 per
sons, equally divided as to sex, 2OS OF
the males and 200 Of the females would
be found in the insane asylums. In
the course Of a year, - males and 90
females would be admitted to the asy-
lums. In 1880 the total number OF IN
mates in INSANE asylums III the United
States included 2O,6;'5 males and 20
So7 females. Thirty years later the
number Of male inmates had Increased
to 9S,695, and the number of female
inmates to SO,O96. The excess OF men
among admissions in 1910 Indicated a
still further increase in the proportion,
namely, l2S males to 100 females. An
ANALYSIS of these admissions as to the
specific forms Of insanity involved
brings to light the interesting fact
that if alcoholic psvchosis and general
PARALYSIS are deducted, the proposition
of the sexes is practically the same.
The diseases mentioned, says The
journal of the American Medical AS
soriation, would seem to be those which
generally, are the result of dissipation.

An East Indian Prince Who Did Not
Fear Losing Caste.
Mr.. Coningsby Dawson. the well
known English writer, tells the follow

Sir Pertab Singh:
4 young English lieutenant had died
Of cholera in his palace. The boy was
the son OF an English friend. When
the body had to be carried out to be
placed on Il gun carriage Sir Pertab
Singh went forward to lift it up. Be
fore be touched it he was stopped by
some English officers: They reminded
him that by his religion. were be to

vised him to send for the sweepers.
who are outcasts. In spite OF their
protests he picked up the body and
carried it down the palace steps to
the gun carriage.
A gasp went up at the sight. Every
one of his subjects knew what he had
done. The next morning, when he
rose. 500 Brahman priests were wait.
ing in the courtyard. He came out. a
proud figure. to face them. He knew
what they had come for-to make him
the lowest thing in India. man with
out caste. He asked them what was
their errand, and they told him. They
had come to make him OF as little ac-
count as the humblest sweeper in his
palace.
Sir Pertab Singh laughed. II be-

any Of you have ever dreamed of. and
you can't take it from me: you're well

same caste as the dead son of my
friend-the caste of soldier
With that he walked back into his
palace, and the Brahman priests went

PERSISTENT BEAVERS.
A Battle Of Wits Between the Animals
and the Engineers.

When the Grand Trunk railway ran
its line across a swamp in a game pre-
serve on the line of the Alberta Rock
les there was a wonderfully construct
ed beaver dam holding the water back
to food the swamp.
This in the eyes of the game warden
was pure waste, and he ordered the
engineers to prevent it without harm
ing the beavers. OF course the dam
could have been blown up with dyna-
mite. but that would have meant tue
death Of most of the little animals and
death very likely in great pain at that.
So the engineers cut an opening in
the dam. The mud had become almost
as hard as concrete. and it took the
men three days to get the water run
ming out steadily. Then. thinking their
troubles with the industrious little fel-
lows over. they started work on the
railway through the swamp.
Soon the water began to rise. and
the work was stopped in few hours
The engineers made all haste to the
dam and found the animals had repair
ed the cut and made it tight again.
\ fresh cut was made. but after the
men had gone the beavers busted
themselves and made it stronger than
ever. Work was again stopped on the
railroad within few hours.
Then a deep hole was made in the
earth far under the dam. The beavers
were much puzzled. Never before had
they seen water go down into the
ground and come up far away. nr+
they lent their wuuIt, attention TO the
problem. and the work Oh the railroad
was again stopped as consequence
and the foundations soaked with wa
ter.
Then followed an engagement OF
wits between the beavers and the en-
gineers. But every time the men
found a way to cut the dam in new
place the beavers found way tU
stop it.
The road was finally constructed by
working few hours at time. and the
loss to the contractors amounted to
more than $5.OOO.-Detroit Free Press.
