consisted of m opening address by the

shows that the teacher has IL taste. for

The Business Outlook.

Forthe first time within
all the commercial journals of the coun.
try unite In predicting a more cheerful
future for business affairs. At any rate
merchants have some cause for con-
graduation that matters cannot by any
possibility be worse than they have been
during the past six months. A careful
inspection of the crop reports can
scarcely fail to convince the most skeptic-
al that the hopes based on a plentiful
supply of all kinds of produce, have
surely some foundation. From allparts
of the Union the news is particularly
good IN this respect. while in far-off
California they expect a crop almost
sufficient. as itwere, to supply the whole
world with food. Some contend that
such an extraordinary product will work
only to our disadvantage. We say, by
no means cheap living makes good
times and is their necessary accompani-
ment. Money, the moving power, also
bids fair to be remarkably easy, already
In the Eastern markets it has become a
drug, and business men west feel its
good influence through the liberality
of Eastern creditors with regard to col
lections.
While we do not predict an unusual
~ good fall trade, we think we can safe
ly say that business will be such that no
one can Justly complain. Detroit Jour-

WakefulneSS.

When persons who do not otherwise
appear to be sick suffer from continued
wakefulness, this is sure sign of men
tai exhaustion. When any part of the
body is specially exerted, the blood
flows in increased quantity to that part.
So when there is any stress laid on the
brain. the head becomes surcharged
with blood, as is shown by the flushing
OF the face. If this condition is long
continued, the blood-vessels dose the
power of contracting.
Then the brain remains in an excited
state, even when the mind has no
longer any desire to work, and it can
not take its proper rest in sleep. In
order to enjoy refreshing sleep it is
necessary that tue blood be not con-
centrated in the head, but be diffused
equally through all parts of the body.
This is probably the reason why warm
bath just before going to bed is so con-
ducIve to good nights repose. 1t is,
however, the best way not to allow the
mind to get excited near the hour of
rest, but to let it run down gradually,
like clock, in the evening.
There have been some wonderful
cases of sleeplessness caused by undue
mental exertion. Boerhaave, the Dutch
philosopher, tells us that at one time he
was so absorbed in particular study
that he did not close his eyes in sleep
for six weeks. A French General as
serted that, for a whole year, while en-
gagged in active warfare, he slept but
one hour in the twenty-four. These
and similar cases are probably ex-
aggerated. We all know how often
people are unwilling to admit that they
have been asleep, when they have really
had sound nap. The persons mem
toned could not have survived such
prolonged wakefulness. An attendant
of the late Emperor, Louis Napoleon,
whose nervous system had become
deranged, died simply from inability to
sleep.

A Strange Disease i'm MexicO-Singular
Fatality.

lTlalenango, Mexico June 2S), n. Y. Graphc.l
A most singular and unaccountable
disease, commonly known as the "burst-
ing sickness" has broken out in this
vicinity, and already has spread to
many of the neighboring villages and
cities. The people are in consterna-
ton by reason of the many deaths which
have occurred. The doctors-wretched
medical men at the best-are at loss
how TO deal with the trouble, and the
priests have got their handsfu full. Tlal-
enango, Bolanos, Cartagena, and even
Sanceda Hac are suffering more or less
and there is no telling where or when
the disease is to stop. / am not an ex-
pert in describing sickness, but the
trouble seems to me to be an unusual
discharge of nerve force into the brain.
The symptoms are sudden nausea, fol-
lowed almost Immediately by a severe
and sharp pain along the spine. proceed
ing from Its lower extremity to thehead,
and described as feeling as though a
blunt knife were scraping upward.
There is then-when the pain reaches
the back of the head-a sharp and
poignant distress there which makes the
patient delirious, although it never pro-
duces Inconsistencies or loss of the
right uses of the senses. The eyes are
bloodshot and wild, with pupils greatly
contracted. The sensitivness to light
is intense, so that even in paroxysms of
excruciating agony the patient will rise
and seek dark place. This state lasts
commonly not more than from thirty to
forty minutes, during which the patient
feels as though his head were splitting;
and when this condition has lasted for
about half an hour the Uranium actually
bursts open at the sutures, as is some
times the case with infants whose heads |
split thus from water on the brain |
The sound produced by this rending
asunder of the bones of the skull can |
plainly be heard full ten feet from the
patient. 1t is said that in some in
stances the disruption is extremity sud-
den, and accompanied with noise still
louder. This occurs, too, at moment
when the sufferer is in full consciousness

disease broke out in the silver-mining
'egion at Bolanos about two weeks ago,
md its cause is unknown. About three
hundred persons-generally adults
rave already died of it, and it is yet
