Ever since the xovhL mentally afflicted were regarded as invalids rather than awl able viotime.of domonfao P neck possession methods of treatment have been e&eotually rapidly improving. Relies of the old to superstition are still with 05, in the general and diseases Band n towards their remedies, and ine tl0.o travelers 'peculiar feelings entertained towards those ; who have undergone treatment for such household aihnenta. The treatment growing out of are itinmt.wind survived gad thefe final tea hich it d superstition w removal 0f the straight•jaeket the chain a. and the enackles is a comparatively recent of event. tet in spite of the beneficial results , soothers, of humane and natural treatment and of withstanding the increasing proportion of cures, the number of insane patients in the, Province and their proportion to the total population are on the inoreaee. 111E AVERAGE DAITY NUMBER of insane patients residing in Provincial institutions has increased from 3,674 in 1893 to 3,809 during 1894, or an increase of a 135 patients for the past year. The num. bac of lunatics and idiots remaining in residence at the close of the year shows an increase of 166 when demented with the previous year, and during the pact five ears 916, or at the rate of 183 1-5 patients per annum have been added to the asylum population. It is true that during the pest three years there has been a falling off in the yearly admissions, the total admitted dam in the year ending September 30, 1894, being 781, 39 less than during the previous year. Bub the inspector attributes this to the limited accommodation in certain die• triple, there .being 104 applications out- standing at the time of compiling the t'eport A°cocding to the last Dominion census the insane and idiotic population of Ontario in 1591 was 6,565, or Dna to every 361 inhabitants. This number no doubt included a great many harmless patients who will never be treated in any asylum. In this respect Ontario compares favorably with other countries, France with 1 to every 400 and Germany: with 1 to every 417 of the population being the only conn• tries showing a more favorable average. It the Provincial panentehare committed on warrants, and are in consequence AS CRIMINALS atbe a time when soientifio treatment would be most effective. The lesson of the retort is that, as in other dieeasso, prevention is better than cure. And the necessarily brlef reports transmited by the eminent special- fate at the head of the Provincial inatiiu- tions °entain much valuable advice and many suggestions whiph should receive a wider measure of attention from the public. Hereditary predisposition has been traced in eo many oases of insanity that repree• sive laws regarding the marriage of those afflicted withsuch an inheritance have been suggested. But while little or no good could be effected by such measures much can be aaoompliahed by the general diffusion of knowledge. One lesion, culled from many, is that the mental faculties are more' apt to rust out than to wear out. The re• markably high proportion of farmers' wives, ers among the nenne eh°wetiitats and labor - monotony and hard work are the most effective cont. to bination of cause which superinduce men- tal disease. it - . p g; � • ''7 '• ihyi �• SPOON. oup.

Damages Sc°ural by an English Lord Under a Strange Law. Lord William Neville, the shrewd son of Lord Aber avenn popularly known as g y, P P y "01d Rhuebarb,' has just- given another indication of his remarkable business maga. city by making use of the preposterous English libel law to obtain from an incur• once company, with which he had been connected as agent, a few hundred pounds fn the shape of damages. The offence the could be imputed to the company was tha ft ked seen fit to saver its connection with Lord William on the ground of his exam. sive demands for commissions, and that it had thereupon ieaued•a circular notifying. its subagents and customers that Lord \Villiam's agency had been rescinded by order of the Directors. That is all, and there is no reasons given and no com- mints, To ordinary business men this circular can hardly have appeared as libelous, since it was manifestly necessary that the company should notifyits clients that Lord l, yaptg William was no longer connoted with the concern, and the circular a000mplished this fn tke tenet offensive mannerpoestUle. The jury, however, gave a verdict in his favor, and thus the unfortunate insurance com- pony ¢ow stands mulcted not only in dam- ages, but also in poste.
