At the same time the hoard of edu- cation" acts wisely 'in wndertaking a deeper study of the question, and with the desire to afford all the information which is avajlable. The idea prevails with some that the model school will be abolished this year, and that the machinery of it will be at the disposal of the board should' the fifth class be required. The model schools are not likely to go out of existence so quick- ly as that. Their work cannot he abol- ished until the normal schools have been built and equipped and so made ready for occupation, and this date according to present indications, will be a long way off. Care Of The Insane. ' A new law has been adoptcd with regard to the committal of persons to the lunatic asylums. Always, so far a8 any one can remember in Canada, the proceeding looking to the incar- ceration of one in a public institution has been attended by * the desire to confine only those who cannot be trusted at large. The lunatics have been of two kinds, those who are temporarily deranged, and' those who are hopelessly insane. In any case mental treatment by skil- 21 ful alienists has been helpful, Some cures are effected, and perhaps' | the |pects. Even the chronically affected are the better off under influences which can be brought to bear upon them by the asylum experts. The event of importance to the un- fortunate man or woman is the en- trance to the asylum. The mental sta- tus must be settled beyond all ques- tion. A good many were formerly pass- ed through the jail while medical men studied their cases. There is to be no further use of the jail by the insane. That humiliation--for humiliatien it is--will not again be put upon them, The asylum accommodation will he used as far as it goes, and admission to it. will be had upon the certificates of two men, one of whom may (ani will when possible), be an officer of the asylum. The advantage of this will be that the judgment. of an alienist will be se- cured in pronouncing upon the case, and at the same time the information will be had which will enable the gov- ernment to determine whether gr not payment can be exacted for the care of the individual. There is a decided ifcrease of insan: ity in the province, and the greatest pains should be taken to discriminate between it and the temporary mental collapse which does not warrant the extreme measures concerning them which some people are disposed to take. The Indemnity Stands. The salary question «has been re vived in the commons on motion of Mr. Maclean, of South York, Mr. Ma- clean, has been the most offensive of all the critics, and he has fallen foul of friends and foes politically because he has insinuated many things and has himself been faulty. He did not oppose the increased indemnity when it was under discussion, and he ac cepted all that was coming to him under the law although he was large: ly ranked as absentee, The indembify of $2,500 remains. On: ly nine members favoured a reduc- tion in thelamount.

Valuable Tapestries Found. Boston, Mass.,, May 12.--Consider- able of a sensation has been caused in"Boston art circles by the state- ment that the famous tapestries of Lebrum, representing summer, autumn winter, which were stolen from the Palais Royal in Paris during the revolution, are now on exhibition in the Boston Museum of. Fine Arts. It is stated that the discovery was made by Emile Bernat, a tapestry expert from Paris, who was called here to re- novate the three tapestries. He found two tags between the lining and the web, reading "Palais © Royal, Salon No. 5." He declared the tapestries the work of Labrun and expressed the opinion that they were made between 1690 and 1730. According to the re- cords of the museum the tapestries came to Boston fifty years ago. If genmiine they are the only Labruns in America, and practically priceless. The Bacom Hog.
