RECUPERATING THE BRAIN.-The
best possible thing for man to do when
he feels too weak to carry anything
through is to 60 to bed and sleep as long
as he can. This is the only recuperation
of the brain power, the only actual re-
cuperation of brain force; because dur
ing sleep the brain is in state of rest,
in condition toreceive appropriate par
ticles of nutriment from the blood which
take the place of those which have been
consumed by previous labor, since the
very act of thinking burns up solid par
cles, as every turn of the wheel or screw
of the steamer is the result of consump-
ton by fire of the fuel in the furnace
The supply of consumed brain sub
stance can only be had from nutritive
particles in the blood which were OBJ
tanned from the food eaten previously,
and the brain is so constituted that it
can best receive and appropriate to it,
self those nutritive particles during the
state of rest, of quiet and stiffness OF
sleep. Mere stimulants supply nothing
in themselves; they gorge the brain,
and force it to greater consumption of
its substance until it is so exhausted
that there is not power enough to re-
ceive a supply.-ManaJacturer and
Builder.

PROFESSOR SEELIGMULLER ON DIPH.
THERIA An important statement
made by DR.. SeeligmuIler, of Halle,
Prussia, shows that the administration
Of chlorate of potash in saturated So
lution-5 per cent.-has specific effect
on diphtheria, under the following con-
ditions, namely: 1t mast be given in a
solution of 10 grains in 200 grains of dis
titled water, without adding any syrup
or any other solution to ameliorate the
taste; this solution is to be ordered to
infants under three years of age at half
teaspoonful, to elder ones at whole
spoonful, every two hours; or, if the
malady is very grave, every hour; at
first day and night without Interrupt
tion; this internal medication alone
sufficing in all cases. Professor Seelig-
muller states that this saturated solution
of chlorate of potash exercises q topical
action ard general one on the diph-
theritic process-a topical one, as mild
cautery, and by separating the diphthe-
ritic pseudO-membrsne from their base
ment membranes; and a general one,
supplying the oxygen withdrawn from
the blood corpuscles by bacteria and de-
stroying these organisms. Caution is
required lest the saturated solution may
act dangerously on heart or digestion
the administration to be suspended when
such symptoms occur.

calling on the men of Mayo to meet Satur-
day, to protest against the threatened evic-
ton of farmers. The document apparently
limited at resistance to the law. The Irish
Times blames the government for molesting
the meaner and smaller agtators who have
nothing to lose by being made heroes. Gov
ernments action may revive ParnelPs expir
ing influence. Frecman's journal says the
arrests are unconstitutional an act of arbi
trary power, intended to paralyze land agita-
ton by terrorism. The express applauds the
action of the government News of the ar

Election Irregularities i'm Bristol.

just before the election, a memoer of the
board of selectmen in Bristol, a democrat, in
conversation with prominent republican,
went over the matter regarding the law
which provides that where there are more
than 1000 names on the check list no name
shall be added on the day of election, except
such as had been on previous list, and been
left of by mistake. 1t was agreed, as there
were 1910 names on the Bristol list, that the
above law applied to that town, and the DEM
ocratic selectman remarked, 81 am glad of it,
for it does away with all controversy election
day."
This was well understood by all parties.
Yet four men were allowed, by board com
posed of two democrats and one republican,
to vote the democratic ticket, whose names
were not on the check list, and had never
been on any previous check list of Bristol.
This fact appears on the returns in the hands
of the Governor and Council, the votes hav
ing been received under protest, and mar
If these votes are not counted the republi
can County Commissioner in Lincoln county
is elected. Under the law those votes can
not be counted. We will see what the re-
form CD administration will do.
But this is not all, upon the basis of reason
ing put forth by the fusionists, this violation
of law would throw out the vote of Bristol
and thus give the seat in the house to Yates,
republican, instead of Rafter, democrat and
it would also elect II republican County At
torney instead of Smith, democrat.

A dispatch from North Adams. Mass, to
the Boston Globe says "The Chanfrau Exit
combination, which played here last night,
advertised seats for fifty and seventy-tive
cents. The hall rapidly filled up and the
proprietors refused to sell any more fifty-cent
tickets. On account of this, N. ii. Arnold,
prominent merchant here, and several others,
called the affair swiIdle. The doorkecper
threatened to thrash Arnold and the others,
and, after the show, in the Office of the Will
son House, much loud talking was INDUCED
In. Arnold started to go home, when Chan
frau, to whom he had said nothing. stepped
up, threw off his coat, and, but for interior
ence, would undoubtedly have assaulted Ar

made so much noise that he aroused the in
mates of the house. Chanfrau drove out of
town early in the morning, instead of taking
the train with the company, but Officers Hun

arrested him. There has been considerable
Geographic correspondence, Chanfrau wanting
to settle with Arnold, but Arnold is deter

North Adams before the district court.
