Mental Taxation Causes Dyspepsia.

Mental anxiety and pecuniary en-
barrassments, such as loss of propertd
by fire, by failure in business or bay
debts, and also domestic troubles, dis
appointed affection, and the loss or the
treachery of friends, will frequently
cause dyspepsia; too close and too
active in intellectual labor is also a fre'
quent cause. Editors, authors and lit
erary persons often engender dyspepsia
IN this way. 1a4I a'1
Much brain labor requires much blood
at the brain, and an over-working intel.
lect uses up so much blood and nervous
force that there is not enough remain
ing to do the work of digestion.
On the other hand, deranged diges-
ton is sometimes produced by too little
action of the brain. Persons are fre-
ouently met with who have been in ac-
tive business life, and having accumu-
lated enough to satisfy their ambition
have retired from business. Now al
though the brains and body retire from
active life, yet the poor stomachs very
often have their tasks increased. If
man has been q long time accustomed
to eating heartily and working hard,
either with body or brains, he had better
not relax his working habits without at
the same time having a corresponding
relaxation in his habits of eating. "He
who will not work neither shall he eat,"
is not only Bible injunction, but law
of the human constitution, the disobe-
dience of which is often attended with
such arrangements of digestion, and
other bodily infirmities, as to render
either property or life of but little
value. glfgDs 70 sr~ -I

Men Wanted.

The world wants men-large hearted. manly
men;
Men who shall join its chorus, and prolong
The psalm of labor and the psalm of love.
The times want scholars-scholars who shall
shape
The doubtful destinies of dubious years.
And land the ark that bears our coun ;ry's good,
Safe on some peaceful Ararat at last.
The age wants heroes-heroes who shall dare
To struggle in the solid ranks of truth;
To clutch the monster error by the throat;
To bear opinion to a loftier seat;
To blot the era of oppression out,
And lead a universal freedom in.
And heaven wants souls-fresh and capaciOus
souls:
70 taste its raptures and expand like flowers,
Beneath the glory of its central sun.
1t wants fresh souls-nOt mean and shriveled
OneS ceb
It wants fresh souls. my brother-give it thine.
If thou, indeed. will act as man should act;
If thou, indeed, wilt be what scholars should
If thou wilt be hero and will strive --,--
To help thy fellow and eXalt thyself
Thy feet, at last, shall stand on jasper floors;
Thy heart, at last, shall seem q thousand hearts
Each single heart with myriad raptures filled
While thou shalt sit with princes and with kings,
Rich in the jewel ef ransOmed SOUL. .sfE

Ocean Penny Postage.

There seems to be at last probability
of an ocean penny postage, at any rate
from England to this country. In the
English House of Commons Mr.. Seely
IS about to move for this reduction, and
as the subject has been before the peo-
pie for some years, the reduction may
be decided on, especially as past expe-
rience tells SO much in its favor. Sup
posing the reduction to be effected, and
letters under half an ounce were trans
mitted for an English penny 1.-TWO
cents)y this would be $640 a ton, which
is greatly in excess of the rate charged
for ordinary freight, and would there
fore handsomely pay the ship-owner.
The present rates, from II TO l3 cents
an ounce, amount to $3.50 and $4,000.
The ship-owner may receive the entire
receipts, or the sea rate may be divided,
and the residue left for the inland pos
tage at either end of the line.
~ In 1887, before the internal penny
postage was inaugurated in England,
the number Of letters sent was $4,000
600. In 1910 the rate was reduced to
penny, and in 1859 the number of let
ters sent by mail amounted to 545,OOO,-
OO0.h In 1853 the postal revenue OF
England amounted to $8,000,0O0; in
1859 it had gone up to $l5,000,0OO, far
more than paying the expenses. In
1912 the revenue derived from the Eng
lish post-office amounted to $4,546, ,246,
with large deficit. In 1860 the re-
ceipts were upward of $l8,0O0,0OO, the
expenses 1923 100000, and the deficit ex-
ceeded $5,000,000. So much, then, for
cheap postage-the lower the rates the
more letters are sent, and thus great
public advantage is combined with an
increase of revenue. An ocean-penny
or two-cent postage rate would no doubt
be financial success, as well as great
public boon to the people of any coun-
try where it is adopted.

balancing the Sexes.

A correspondent of the Boston Herald
has discovered a method for restoring
the equilibrium of the sexes. He would
do it by sending young women in the
course of empire. Emigration, he ar
CUES, for the last twenty years has been
steadily tending to increase, the dispro-
portion of the sexes in the East. The
young men have gone West, while the
young women remain at home. In
Iowa there are said to be 10000 more
men than women, the majority of whom
are unmarried. They need wives out
there. Why not organize female emf
grafton societies for the purpose Of sup
plving the West? "There is not a
State west of the Missis sippi but has
from ten to thirty thousand more men
than women, the most of whom are
single. Young women need not throw
away their lives in Boston shops and
Lowell factories if they would only re-
solve to act in concert and seek hus-
bands and homes in the West. 1t may
be said the men ought to come East for
wives. The women ought to 60 half
wav at least. Instead of secret societies,
that do more harm than good, why not
form Marriage Bureau? ? Thousands
might be provided with good husbands
and homes that would otherwise remain
single if such an institution were in
operation under the management of
spectable parties Such institutions ex-
ist in Europe. Why be ashamed to get
a husband by such means, instead of an
old-fashioned five-years' courtship.a ssg

Their Exposure Complete.

The exposure of the Democratic fraud,
in the Connecticut election is complete and
the proof overwhelming. Five hundred
and seventy-nine citizens of the Fourth
Ward of New Haven have appeared before
the Legislative Committee investigating the
frards. and sworn that they voted for the
Republican candidate for Governor, thus
establishing beyond question or cavil the
fact that package of one hundred Repub-
lican tickets has been abstracted from the
ballot-box of that poll. These and other
changes in the figures show that Mr.. Jewell
was fairly elected ny majority over all OF
Sc votes; and will fully justify the passage
by the Legislature of resolution declaring
him entitled to the office of Governor. The
resignation of the Democratic Assemblymen
is threatened, but they will not dare supple,
ment the villiany of the Democratic agents
at the polls by thus publicly refusing to rec
tify their frauds. Connecticut Democracy
is already under grave suspicion and char
