The HERALD, in subdued mood, is
thankful. After congress and the legis.
lature adjourn there win be more room
in the columns Of the HERALD for
such well, call it what you please-and

every saloon on Its route? This is an
important matter.

From thousand lips the HERALD

comport with tho spirit OF civilization,

The Mind During Starvation.

The recent case Of canIbalism at sea
opens up some curious question as TO
the effects of fasting ON the mortal ma
ture of man. To the superficial observ-
er, death by starvation simply means a
wasting of the body, horrible agony,
and increasing weakness, lethargic
state of the brain, and sleep from
which there IS no awakening; but is
this all that it means? While this is 60
ing on let Ills consider whether or not
the intellectual faculty, and with it the
power of distinguishing right from wrong
is not undergoing aprocess OF wasting
and death, even before that of the ma
terial part, for, however dangerous it
may be to received opinions to associate
the material nature of brain with the
moral nature of our being, we are bound
TO do so to elucidate some of the facts
connected with this case.
Reasoning bv, analogy, we find that,
in many cases of bodily disease, the
state of the mind is the first indicator
of the mischief going on in the system
Take even such simple thing as indi-
gestien, which, as everyone know, is on
Iva manifestation of deranged stomach
and what do we find? That the elowness
of spirits induced from this affection
NAV vary from slight detection and I'LL
humor to the most extreme melancholy
sometimes inducing even a disposition
to suicide. The sufferer misconceivei
every act of friendship. and exaggeratei
slight ailments into heavy grievances
So in starvation, the power of reason
seems paralzed and the intellectual
faculty dazed really before the function
of the body suffer. or even the wastini
of its tissue becomes extreme. Such be
inc the case, the unfortunate individ
nal is not accountable for his actions
even if they be criminal in character
long before death puts an end to his sui
ferinps. Popular Science Monthly.

A writer in Lippincott's Magazine
thinks that the health Of the people
would be brought up to better condi-
ton if they were educated out of the
following fallacies:
The idea that cold baths are healthy
in Winter and dangerous in mid Sum-
mer.
That rain-water is more wholesome
than "hard" water.
That bedrooms must be heated in cold
weather.
That the misery OF everlasting scrub
bing and soap suds vapors is compensat-
ed by the comfort of lucid intervals.
That sick room must be kept her
metically closed.
That it pays to save fou air for the
sake of its warmth.
That "draughts" are morbific agencies.
That even in Midsummer children
must BE sent to bed at sunset, when the
air begins to be pleasant.
That an after dinner nap can do any
harm.
That the sanitary conditions of the
air can be improved by the fetor of car
bolic acid.
That there is any benefit in swallow
ing jugfulls of nauseous sulphur water.
That rest after dinner can be shorten
ed with impuDity.
That outdoor recreation is a waste OF
time. ~
That athletic sports brutalize the char
cter.
That normal human being requires
any other stimulant than exercise in IN s
fresh air.
That any plan of study can justify the
custom of stinting children in sleep.
That the torpor of narcotism is prefera-
BILE to insomnia.
That the suppression of harmless re-
creation will fail tc beget vice and hyp-

That stimulation is identical with in

NOTES AND HINTS.

The correspondent of the London
Times takes it upon himself to warn us
against the use of macaroni and other
pastes made in Italy and France, where
cholera has been prevalent. Whatever
the germs of the disease may be, it is at
least possible that they may find these
pastes q very comfortable abode, and
means softransmission to American stom-
achs.
DR.. John III. Gray, Medical Superin-
tendent of the Utica Insane Asylum, in
q recent paper On insanity, says that the
over worked business man often become
insane because his distress is kept a
secret until to late for restoration by
mild measures. Rest, change and cheer
full surroundings at an early stage of de-
preston often prevent melanchOlia, and
perhaps acute mania.
1t is thought by some that the Phila-
delphia women have better compilations
than those Of any other city. Their skin
is as soft and white as child's. One of
the local physicians attributes this fact
to the Quaker influence in restraining
the corseting. He reminds us that lacing
compi esses the liver, giving rise 10 bill
ious arrangements, and of course, the
latter will discolor the skin.
DIR. Charles A. Teale, in paper on
Asiatic cholera. says that his experience
demonstrates that a person must actually
come in contact with the sufferers with
it or with some clothing worn by them,
il order to contract the disease. When
the disease germs float in the air they
are destroyed, but they can lie dormant
in clothing for long time and still
communicate the malady to the one who
subsequently handles it.
DIR. Ernest Hart, of London, las, with
much sagacity and indomitable energy,
tracked down various epidemics to the
use of impure milk. The milk became
contaminated by the washing of the
milk cans with filthy water, by the
handling of the cans by persons who did
not keep their hands clean, by washing
milk cans with dish cloths used in sick
roons, the cleansing of the cans in the
same place where the body linen of pa
tients was washed, The contIguity of
kitchens and sick rooms, ETC., etc. To
impure milk the Doctor has traced in
eleven years fifty epiden.ics of typhoid
fever, fifteen of scarlet fever and seven
of diptheria in England alone. DIR.
Foote'S Health Monthly.
