Insanity Increasing in Ontario When the supplementary estimates were under discussion an item of 87000 to purchase a site in the county of Ox- ford for a Boys’ Reformatory, brought forth an interesting explanation from the Government, In seems that the insane are increasing so rapidly that the Government are once more forced to consider additional accommodation tor them. All the institutions are al. ready full and applications have to be denied for want of room, and the poor unfortunates, in many instances, have to remain in the jails or the county Rouse of Refuge. In order to remedy this state of affairs as soon as possible, a radical change of policy has been de- cided upon with respect to the Boys' Reformatory at Penetanguishene. The Government has decided to remove the lads from that institution and place them in a new reformatory in the coun- ty of Oxford. The building at Pene- tanguishene, when vacated by the boys will be used for the custody of the chronic and harmless insane from the various asylums in the province, The reason assigned for making the change is in order that the boys at the reform- atory may receive efficient instruction in farming. There are ‘no adequate facilities for this purpose at Penetang- uishene, and therefore the removal to Oxford county has been decided upon. There it will be a comparatively easy matter to place the youthful offenders upon farms and give them a thorough training in agricultural pursuits. The installation of the chronic and harmless insane at Penetanguishene is, the Government urges, an economical step. The number of people in the different asylums who come under this category is about 400. They are a class who need very little watching, while they require a simple diet and very few medicines, so that the expense of maintenance will be comparatively light. Additional asylum accommoda- tion is also to be established at Co- bourg, where the Government purchsed a property a year ago and which they intend fitting up for occupancy during the coming year. It it a sad reflection that the rapid increase in these unfor- tunate people necessitates this addition- al accommodation, but at the same time it is a gratifying consideration that the province is both able and willing to suitably provide for those, of all others, who most require proper care. It was thouhht that with the completion of the Brockville asylum more accommod- ation in this line would not be required for years, but that institution is al- ready fall, The new reformatory for boys will, probably, be located in or near the town of Woodstock, In the death of the late Mrs. Wm, Mitchell, who died Jan. 10th, Wilmou Township loses one of its earliest set- tlers, where she lived 65 years and was beloved by all. Deceased was born in Devonshire, England, and came to Can- ada in 1833 with her husband and two children. The journey occupied six weeks.' Mrs Mitchell and her husband lived together on the farm they settled upon until 1879 when her husband died, She then went to reside with her daugh- ter, Mrs. T. A. Smith, near by, where she lived up to the time of her death. She attained the age of 89 years and was always cheerful and happy. She brought up a familyof fourteen children, nine of whom are still living. She leaves forty-five grandchildren and thirty-four grest-grarurchildren to mourn her loss. The children still living are: Anne, Mrs, Chapman, Copack, Mich; Mary, Mrs. Cowing, Woodstock; Betsy, Mrs. Curab, near Sarnia; Thomas, seed merchant and councillor, New Hamburg; Margaret, Mrs. Roth, Blandford , Susan, Mrs. Smalden, Michigan ; Eliza, Mrs. Bean, Gretna, Man, ; Sarah, Mrs. T.

The Provincial Board of Health was, Friday, occupied in discussing import- ant recommendations made by a Corn. mittee specially appointed regarding the transportation of persons who have died of contagious diseases. A scheme is on foot to make the regulations on this important sulject similar in the different States of the Union and Can- ada so as to avoid difficulties and de- lays. Resolutions have been adopted by the representatives of the States Boards of Health, the Assoeiatiorcof Baggage Agents, and the Association of Undertakers and Embalmers and it is now proposed to take similar action in Canada, The carrying of the reforms would entail the appointment of 17 cer- tified embalmers, one for each district for returning members to the Ontario Medical Council, and it is suggested that these should be appointed by ex- aminers chosen by the board, The regulations, which will in all probability be adopted, are as follows ' fifi'l/riuortstio_n ot bodies dead of small-pox, Asiatic cholera,yellow fever, typhoid fever, or bubonic plague is abr solutely forbidden. PROHIBITED CASES. The bodies of those who have died of diphtheria (membranous Group), scarlet fever (scarlatina, scarlet rash),glanders, anthrax or leprosy are not to be accep- ted for transportation unless prepared for shipment by being thoroughly dir infected by the injection of an approv- edfhoid into the blood vessels and cava- ti s of the body, the stopping of all orifiees with absorbent cotton, and the washing of the body with the disinfect.. ant, all of which must be done by some person approved by the board. OTHER DISEASES, After disinfection the body must be enveloped in a layer of cotton one inch thiclz, wrapped in a sheet and bandaged and encased in an airtight metal cotfirs which is to be hermetically soldered and enclosed in a strong tight wooden box, or in a casket enclosed in a metal case. The great majority of our Endeavor host belong to the church, And there they should make their influence felt by their devotion to its work. And their regular attendance upon the Sab- bath services, the mid-week prayer meeting, by their attendance in the Sunday School, and by their contribu. tions to all the Church Schemes. Their growth in Spiritual knowledge and their Christian activity should go together with equal step. They should seek to be cramples of zeal and consistency Firmly attached to their own congregation, always in their place, and therefore a great source of encouragement to their pastor and of strength to their Church, How many Christians are of no value whatever be- cause they are unreliable. One never knows where to find them. Anything new carries them away like sear leaves. Be not like to them, HELPS IN OUR CHURCH LIFE. The Communion of the Lord's Sup- per is an occasion of great moment, and to be a',',worthy partaker one :must air proach to the Lord's Table intelligently. An exceedingly helpful aid to this has been issued by P, IL Revell h Co, Tor- onto, under the title ,,The Lord's Table" from the pen of that spiritual writer, Andrew Murray. This will give food for thought, and will, guide the young disciple to a proper understanding of the ordinance which is so often mis. understood and abused, We are the servants of God, atruth which we do not sufTicently appreciate, And we are mightily inih1enced by the example of good men. "Example is better than Precept." And so the life of a great and good man stirs us like a trumpet. And next to our Lord stands the great Apostle of the Gentiles, On bis life a beautiful series of discourses has been published under the title of "Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ,” by F. B. Meyer of Lnndon. It is pub'ished by F. H. Revell of Toronto. This is a book tor a young Christian to study. It is a rich Yeast of the most precious truth. WHAT SHOULD WE SEEK IN THE NEW YEAR? The bodies of those who have died of typhoid, puerperal fever, eryeipelas, tuberculosis and measles, or other (com- municable) diseases, may be received for transportation after preparation as above, minus arterial injection, pro- vided they can reach their destination in 48 hours from the time of death. In all other cases there must be arterial injection, Corpses of non-contagious patients may be received when properly ooffined, provided they reach their destination within 30 hours. Otherwise they must be carefully prepared by the process pre- viously mentioned, minus external in, jsction, the air-tight sealing to be dis- pensed with when the work is perform- ed by a qualified embalmer. A good understanding of the Word of God, FuIness oi the.Holy Ghost and likeness to Chrish. Bodies of contagious patients must not be accompanied by persons who, or articles which have been exposed to in. fection, unless certified by the local medical health otlioar to have been dis. infected. In cases of contagious corpses the health offi0er of the place of death must notify by telegraph the officer of the place of destination,bhe time when the train may be expected to arrive, so that necessary precaution may be tak- en. All disinterred bodies shall be treat- ed as infectious, and shall not be tur cepted unless approved by the health department. Provincial C. E, Editors Budget. THE ENDEAVORER IN CHURCH LIFE. DISINTERRED BODIES. DEAD BQDIES. With the threatened destruction by the terrible San Jose Scale of the pleasant prospect of Ontario fruit-- apples, peaches, plums, pears and grapes-gaining a market in the British Isles and other European coun- tries, and even rivalling the value of the cheese product of the Province, the prompt and vigorous measures to fight this insect invader taken by the Hon. John Dryden, Minister of Agriculture, are other evidences, if that were need- ed, of the wisdom which marked the selection by Sir Oliver Mowat when Premier of the Government, to which he is now HerMajesty's representative, of a. practical farmer as the responsible head of a department having to do with the greatest industry in the country. Under authority conferred by the Legislature the Minister of Agricultme already has inspectors at work in the nurseries and orchards of the districts where the Scale has got a start and it is being thoroughly stamped out. How serious a matter dealing with this dangerous microscopical pest is may be understood when it is learned that not only all kinds of fruit trees, shrubs and bushes are subject to der truction by the Scale, but all hard wood growth in our forest as well may be ruined. The enormous loss suffered in the 17 states of the neighboring republic, where the Scale is “waging is but, a. measure of what this Province will es cape by the Government's admirable action. Quite appropriate in this connection is the following'] extract from an inter- view with Mr. Aibert Pay, proprietor of the Prospect Hill fruit farm, near St. Catherines, Ontario, in the Buffalo Express of Jany. &h, inst. "My politics are opposed to the Government of Ontario,” said Mr. Pay, "bat I must say that in Mr. Dry- den the present administration has a most competent mam When he asked me to come to Toronto to look over his bill, I and those with me, expected to find that were necessary to the per- i'eetion of that bill. Bat we were not. The bill bad been drafted and was sub- mittcd to us for our approval. We found the ground fully covered and im stead of teaching the Minister how to preserve the fruit, we found ourselves listening to Mr. Dryden’s plans. It would be impossible to find a more capable Minister of Agriculture in the Province. We were delighted with him. "It is the Government/s intention," continued Mr. Pay, "to destroy, or cause to be destroyed, every fruit tree that is known to be infected with the Sm Jose Scale. It is believed that the pest was brought In to Canada from United States nurseries, and it has become so fatal to the fruit trees that extreme measures are necessary. The bill provides for compensation to an amount; which will enable the grow- er to replace the trees without expense to himself, and the penalty for neg- lecting to destroy infected trees is such as to induce every owner of an orchard to see that the law is carried out. When the infected trees are destroyed we can then start over again under a. new law providing for the rigid inspec tion cf all imported nursery stock and and the exclusion of trees affected by the Scale. He isa foolish engineer who is so sparing in the use of oil upon his engine that its bearings are not properly lub. ricated. And he is an unwise man who robs his body of that recreation and real) which are necessary to keep it from rusting and breaking down, Work well, but rest well. n is over-work and not hard work that kills. Every man, whatsoever his business or profession, is justified in working bard. Work keeps the body in health as well as the wolf from the door. But no man is justified in over workirsghnd under-resting himself. (hrer-worlring and under resting are today common experiences. And the comitanb is broken down, debilitated and prematurely old men. It is often not until a piece of ma- chinery has collapsed that the injury done by over-work has been reahznd.
