The Fatal Worry.

In leading English periodical, DR.
Mortimer Granville has been discussing
a subject which should particularly in
terest all impetuous brain-workers. Re
ferring to the increasing number Of
cases of sudden collapse from alleged
''overwork," DR.. Granville offers some
views which, if not exactly new, are al
least not those currently entertained.
| Constant warnings are being given al
the present time against oyerwOrk. But
thinks the author quoted, these are gen.
orally misapplied. The brain can be
tired by prolonged activity, just as may
happen with a muscle. But we find
that hard and persistent muscular work
does not cause muscular collapse. Each
day the reserve forces of nutrition re-
new the wasted protoplasm, and the
frame keeps as strong as ever. So there
is no more reason why there should be
brain collapse from systematic, though
severe brain work, than there is for par
alysis or tetanus to strike down athletes
or day laborers. And we do, indeed.
find that brain workers are, as rule.
long-lived.
The cause of the frequent breaking
down of men engaged in the active work
of life is referred, therefore, by DR..
Granville, to another source, and that
is worry. Doubtless it is no new thing
to be told that it is not work but worry
which kills. But it is often useful to
have general impressions fixed upon a
definite and more or less scientific basis.
Therefore we follow our author in the
expression of his views.
1t may be assumed that, as the con-
traction of a muscle is caused by success.
sive waves of nerve impulses, so the
mental activities are made up, after an
analogous fashion, of undulations OF
nerve impulses. In ordinary work,
however hard, these impulses are sent
out in a regular and rhythmical manner.
1t is the worry which comes in and dis
turbs this rhythm, exhausts the nerve
force, exhausts further the reserve or
recuperative power, and breaks down
the man. The strength does not weary
of digesting digestible food; but add an
unmasticated bolus of tough beefsteak
three times day, and there will be
trouble eventually. Worry produces a
kind of dyspepsia of the mind. 1t is to
the encephalon what a restaurant pie is
to the stomach.
The first inference from this presen.
tation of the matter is easy and natural.
1t is that we should not worry. Such
advice is perhaps the most fruitless that
can be possibly given. Nevertheless, a
diligent incubation of it, and especially
its application in educating the young,
may not be without some avail.-Medi.

Fall Cuttings.

The fall season is much better one
for taking off cuttings than any other,
and there is a large number of plants
that can be propagated in this way. The
currant. gooseberry, ounce and the
grape among fruits; and the privet,
honeysuckles, wiegela, forsythia, mock
orange, ana many other things among
ornamental shrubbery. Indeed there
are so many things among these hardy
plants, ETC., that will grow well in this
way, that it is much easier to give the
list of the things that will not grow from
fall cuttings rather than the things that
will. The great difficulty is that they
draw out of the ground by freezing and
thawing. To avoid this the cuttings
need not be set out at once in the
ground, but they may be tied into bum
dies. each after its kind, and buried I'M
foreground till spring, and then put out
in rows where they are to grow. OF
course they must be looked after early
in the spring, or the buds will sprout
and rot. In sandy land, or earth that
keeps good hold of things, cuttings may
be put in at once.-Gcr7nanto 7ele-

The Shivaree.

For many years it has been the Gus
tom cherished among the dwellers upon
the shores of the Kickapoo Greek in Pc
ora County to ''shivaree" bridal pair.
The exercises are conducted by the yeo-
many of the district, who get partially
drunk, and repair to the scene of nup-
tlal festivity and serenade the newly
welded couple and wedding guests with
voluptuous music pounded from sweet
instruments of tin. The instrumental
part OF the programme is accompanied
by vocalizations of an astonishing char
acter, and interspersed with numerous
profane and lewd remarks. These
cheerful proceedings are continued I'M
til the serenaders receive donation or
its equivalent in whisky. The unsophis-
hcated Kickapooers and Limestoneans
regard the ''shivaree" with as much
reverence as they do the marriage cere-
mony itself, and no bride raised on the
shores of that erratic stream would en-
ter matrlmony without being assured of
its observance. On Wednesday night
John Crawl led Miss Mary Rheil to the
hymeneal altar. The ceremony con-
cluded, the guests got away with the
supper and engaged in the delights of
the may dance. All went merry as a
marriage-bell until the shivareers came.
The guests drank in the harmony and
invited the musicians in, who spread
themselves outside of two kegs of beer.
Then, sad to relate, their angry pas
sions arose, and they began to fight with
the guests. In one brief moment the
festive scene was changed into a pande-
monium. In the melee the bride got a
bang in the face which laid her out The
exercises were not concluded until ma
jority of the elite of Kickapoo- society
had been incapacitated by physical in
jury from further proceedings, and the
celebration was passed upon by Peo-
ria justice the next day. - Chicago

Capt. Maxwell, British naval of.
ficer, who has been cruising with his
ship in the western Pacific, writes home
that a striking popularity of the Ellice
Islanders is the entire absence of arms
among them. He did not see club OF
spear, or any weapon whatever, either
in the hands or houses of these natives.
At Ponapi, in the Caroline Islands, he
was greatly impressed with the magni-
tude and solidity of the residences OF
former chiefs, now in ruins. On one
islet he found four complete squares
built one in the other, with walls, some
of them thirty-five feet high and twelve
thick.

Halls Journal Of Health, referring to Con.
sumption, makes the following importan,
state ment:
Consumption usually begins with q
slight, dry cough in the morning, then, or
going TO bed, getting more and more fire.
Guent, with more and more phlegm, in
ness Of breath, and quickness of pulse. In
years; hence the importance Of arresting
the disease at as early a stage as possible,
and the sooner rational means are employed
Tor this purpose the greater the chance of
success. The disease is owing to an irrita-
ton commencing in the throat and extend
Ing to the lungs, so that their action is inter-
fered with, and the blood does not receive
sufficient oxygen to purify ii. The most
marked sign of lung disease is cancellation ;
and the most positive indication of return
ing health Is increase in weight
So speaks Hdt's Journal or Heath, and we
may add that in desperate cases, and, in
fact, in all cases of Consumption, or trou-
bles Of the throat and lungs, immediate
relief may be obtained and permanent cure
effected by the Use of DIR. VIM. Halls Bal.
sam for the Lungs, n medicine known for
more than thirty-five years Is an unfailing
remedy for coughs, colds, bronchitis aud all
pulmonary and pectoral diseases. That the
worst cases OF Consumption have been cured
by the use of Halls Balsam has been at.
tested to by the thousands who have used
1t, or have been cognizant Of its wonderful
remedial efficacy.

separate ration, is never healthful horse

separate ration, is never healthful horse
iced. Ihls is not merely an Individual
| OPINION; 1t is the conviction which has
been forced upon almost every ebserv.
ing horseman who has used it, and in
spite of many efforts to reject it. The
| almost unanimous testimony of such
men Is that it is ''too heavy'' or sstoo
heating.' If the six quarts of oats and
the two quarts of corn were mixed and
ground together, the feed would be
much more rational, though scarcely
sufficient in quantity.
recently asked q man who owns and
works large number of horses, and has
had an experience extending over many
years with all grades of horses, what
he considered the most economical feed,
and how much constituted ration. He
said the best working feed he had ever
found consisted of equal quantities of
wheat-shorts, oats and corn, ground to-
gether; the usual ration being four
quarts, morning, noon and night. To
horses not at work he feeds the same
quantity of oats; though the feed is in
both cases varied to meet any varying
conditions or requirements of the ami
NAL. Clear corn-meal he considers a
very unsafe feed, and he cited several
instances of injurious results from its
use.
A farmer of my acquaintance who
works four horses, and generally keeps
as many more, and has made good
deal of money on horses, first and last,
has by his own observation and expert
ence reached almost precisely the same
conclusions. He raises large quantities
OF oats, but never feeds them clear to
warehouses. He says they are not suf-
ficiently heavy feed for the most eco.
nomlcal or the most satisfactory results.
On the other hand, he would not feed
corn-meal at all unless largely extended
with wheat-bran or some other light
feed. He has known a single ration of
corn-meal to do very great injury to a
horse. He is an advocate of good feed,
and enough of it, for both man and
beast, as a matter of principle as well
as of self-interest, and his success in life
justifes his practices.
My own experience is that unground
ical feed for work-horses than meal.
Dent corn fed on the cob, or in fiat
box, so that the horse can get only a
small mouthful at time, or in box
with quantity of clean corn-cobs in
the bottom of it, is fairly well ground
by most horses, and is ''fair to good"
feed. AS ordinarily sold q bushel of
fifty pounds of meal costs as much as
the bushel of fifty-six pounds of corn;
and [ much doubt if there be any more
waste in the use of the corn.-C0r. En-
a1nlner and Chronicle.

Nearly three wears 400. at Sal

Nearly three years ago, at Salem,
o., young girl, aged II, was hired or
forced to wed man aged 81 years. He
had no property, no place to keep her,
and no way to provide for her. Her
grandfather had made a will so that she
would have $1,000 upon her marriage
or on arriving at the age of 81. Her
father secured the unnatural marriage.
Her husband soon went to the poor
house, and now the young wife sues for
a divorce, and she probably will get it.
