I MKo. VV. ti. WALTERS. Does Insolation Cause Insanity? The statement is frequently made that farm women are in the ma jority in the populations of asylums for the insane. So far as we know there are no direct evidences of this j statement, but it has come to be widely accepted. Those who believe in tne truth of this assertion, have a ready-made explanation. Farm life is so mon otonous and the life of the farm woman is one of such extreme iso lation that her mind weakens under the strain. As a matter of plain fact, mental aberrations are increas ing in proportion to the increasing strain upon our nervous system due to increasing complexities oi i life. There are, of course, instances of persons who live hermit-lives and are considered ,mentallv "deficient. In these cases, it is difficult to. de termine which is cause and which is effect: may it not be more than like- i ly that people who live as hermits j and without human association do so because they are mentally dis turbed? Increased insanity Is more likely to come out of congested Industrial centers than out of rural communi ties. The nervous system receives its severest strain in communities where life is most complex. This statement is not intended to under estimate the disadvantages of any form of life which contains too few social contacts. There is ample room for the improvement of social life in rural communities. More and better human contacts are needed. But, the best manner of approach is one which involves the largest amount of fact. From the standpoint of men tal stability life on the farm holds ,' out far better prospects than life in the city.

Drops of the liquor fell accidentally on a newspaper on the officers' desk; and wherever the drops came in con tact with the paper holes appeared immediately.

Kansas" City Star. WEEKLY AMBON OF ST. STEPHEN'S PARISH TWENTY-THIRD SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY Recently in a class in English, studying early English poetry, in one of our great Universities, the Professor, not a Churchman, stopped a student reading an assigned part aloud, and asked, "if he had been trained to read the Church Service." stating that such training was usually necessary in order to read intelligently the poetry of that period." We often miss the fact that a know ledge of the Prayer Book is in itself a liberal education, including the higher mathematics, necessary to understand the details of the Calendar: In this instance it Was recognized that the fami iliar rhythm of the Prayer Book held the vibrant harmonies of the elder craft in words. Our Prayer Book does reflect the full history of our Anglo-Saxon race, religiously, socially, and politi cally, with its roots and principles running back to the gospel, when first revealed and taught. Half a page of our Communion Service was in common use among Christians a full generation before a single word of the New Testament was written. SUNDAY SERVICES Holy Eucharist 7:30 a. m.
