There are more than 300 epileptics al=o in the several institatioas, many of whom could be much more satisfactorily ecared for if domiciled in a separate asylum. ‘The per cap‘ta rate of mainâ€" tenance has baen kept at the low rate of $124.05 per annum. And in view of the fact that all the maintenance expenditure, together with the clothâ€" ing for the indigent pationts, is inâ€" ciluded in the outlay, it must be taken as evidence of the uniform system of economy in practice in the instituâ€" tions. ‘The revenue from the institnâ€" t‘ons shows a favorable result for the past year.

Report for 1899 Shows a Decrease in Applications. The annual report upou the asylums for insane and idiotic persons will be laid before the House this week. The report points out that during . 1899 there were 711 applicants for admis sion to the asylums, as compared with 750 the previous year, a decrease of 48. The reduced number of admissions can be, in a measure, accounted for by the larger number remaining in charge elsewhere than in the Provincial asy â€" lums. . For example, there were last year in Homewood Retreat 13, in the Kingston Penitentiary 36, in the comâ€" mon jails 77, and the applications for admission to the nsylums direct 92. Taking the average for the last ten years, this is an increass of 64 proâ€" vided for temporarily otherwise than in the asyluws. During 1898 there swwere in daily residence 4,369 patients, and during last year 4,441, or an inâ€" crease of 73. ‘This number, added to the 64 provided for elsewhere than . humber are. reservists, who have reâ€" turned to the colors..

To see poor fellows being brought in wounded in arms and legs, while one chap had a bullet pierce his shoulder and wrist as he was carâ€" rying his rifle at the slope.

As I raised his beauâ€" tiful curly head he opened his eyes, and emiled wanly, saying: " Never mind me, dear boy, it‘s all over with me." I bathed his forehead with water, and as I was doing so he died. I never felt so terrible in all my life. With a big lump in my throat and a feeling of hatred against the Boers in my heart I felt as if all the fiends of hell had got hold of me.

The brown, thickâ€"Jooking particles that float about contain nutriment and should be left in the tea. . So long as anything is cooked in a vyesâ€" sel set in another one containing water, the contents of~ tho inner one cannot boil. This is the case with beef tea, as it should be. The quanâ€" tity of the water added totho beeft must be regulated by the strength required, but a pint to a pound is about the average. The soaking in cold water is most essential, as by this means the "goodnrss‘‘ is exâ€" tracted. Now, as to the mode of making the tea. _ It is a mistake to cut the beef in large pieces, or to let it boil for a single minute. Serape tho meat fine and put it in a jar of cold water with a pinch of salt, to soak for an hour or more, if convenient. â€" Then tie paper firmly over the mouth of the jar, and set it in a saucepan of cold water; bring this to a boil and lot it simmer two or three hours (the water in the saucepan, not the tea). Then strain off the tea until nothing is left, but the meat. ‘"That‘s what you call good beef tea ; {utm how it has ‘jyelled‘ now it‘s cold," said an old lady recently, as she contemplatedâ€" her manufacture with great satisfaction. But this . is an oldâ€"time idea, and an error. No good beel tea can possibly "joliv‘‘ for this reason : it must not, or, rather, should not, be made from the gelaâ€" tinous parts of the beef. Shin of boef is suitable for making stock for clear soup, but that is another matter. If shin is used at all it ought to be the top, where a thick picco of beef can be out, but other parts are betterâ€" the round, or the roll of the bladeâ€" bone. Better still, ask the butcher for a lean, tender steak; buy it as though it were to be cooked as steak, and exercise the same care in the seâ€" lection, and the patient will â€"reap the benefit.
