This Really Happened.

An elderly gentleman called to escort a
young lady to the theatre. He had been on
intimate terms with her family since before
she was born, and so held quite fatherly at
titude toward her, while she looked upon him
about the same rs she looked upon an uncle.

said; don't you want to step into another

don't mind it." "Well," she said, II will get
a brush and smooth it up" He begged her
not to trouble herself. but she resolutely went
on in her determined purpose, brought the
brush and began operations in spite Of his
polite request. Suddenly she dropped the
brush and screamed. Something awful had
happened The whole outside of his head
came off.
The truth was, he wore a wig, and not q
soul save his wife knew it, The poor young
lady was Inundated at the shocking result
of her persistence. At last her discontinue
gave way to admiration of the wigmaker's
skill "Why," she said, II never saw any
other wig that | did not know to he a wig

The Psychology of Joking.

DR.. neutrality-suspicious. publishes some in
teresting remarks on this topic in The Lancet.
He regards punning as the lowest stage Of
the evolution of humor, but even in the pun
he sees a material for the study OF normal
mentation. In a pun we have two ideas
called to the mind at once-a double vision,
as it WERE and, as all thought is the com
parison of relations, this is simply carica-
ture OF tho normal process of thought
Again: the world owes great debt to the
first punster because he began the play Of
the mind in the same sense as art is founded
ON the play instinct, and so detached him
self from the grossly useful, and showed a
surplus energy capable of developing into
the highest traits of mankind To lack a
sense of hmnor is bad thing. The man
who has no f,anse of humor, who takes things
to be literally as distinct as they superb
cially appear. doas not see fundamental SINH
larities in the midst of great superficial diff
ferences, overlooks the transitions between
great contrasts do not mean because he
has no sense of humor, but because he has
not the surplus intellect which sense Of
humor implies Science.

MORE pERILnuS EFEECTS.


There are other and more perilous, though
secondary, effects of leaning forward when
the heart is weak or the blood vessels are not
as strong as they ought to be which should
not be overlooked Beyond question the
extra strain thrown upon tho apparatus of
the circulation by anything that impedes tho
free passage of the blood through almost any
part of the venous system is more severe and
dangerous than physically equal strain
thrown on the arteries. At least this is so in
adult life, and without going further into de-
tails in connection with the modus operandi
of the mischief TO which we point, il may be
permissible TO urge that the subject is one to
which attention may be usefully directed.
The weakly and those who are not I'M
likely TO have hearts readily overburdened
and blood vessels stretched beyond recovery,
or even ruptured, should be warned quite as
earnestly against suddenly assuming, or too
long retaining, any pastures which do-how-
ever slightly and mpnrtially-impede the
return of blood through the veins. We
know how prolonged sitting may cause the
veins of the legs to extend and either give
way or permit the extravasation of their con-
tents. When this sort of thing happens,
even though in trifling degree in the case Of
vessels directly connected with such delicate
organs as the eye, the ear and the brain, it is
easy to see that the results may be very seri-
Gus in their character, and probably few
postures commonly taken up by persons who
lead somewhat sedentary lives are SO prone
to do mischief unnoticed as that of leaning
| forward as at work at a table which is not
sufficiently high TO insure the head being so
raised that the veins of the neck may not be
in any way compressed or the return Of
blood from the head embarrassed or de-
layed. We see reason to believe that if this
apparently small matter were generally I'M
derstood there would be fewer head and
heart troubles, and we will go so far as to
/ say that some lives now lost would be saved.

SERIOUS DISORDER
WHICH COMES OF COMPRESSION OF

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1888-01-28

of Faintness and Giddiness-A Hint to
the Weakly.
Every one knows that stopping forward,
particularly after rising quickly from the
bed in the morning, when the stomach is
empty and the heart has less than ordinary
support from the viscera below the
diaphragm, is very apt to occasion form Of
faintneSs, with vertigo, not unlike that which
occurs in seasiclnesS. We do not at the mo-
ment speak of the faintneSs and giddiness
from cerebral anRmia which are directly
consequent upon suddenly assuming the erect
after long continuing in the recumbent pos
ture, but of the more alarming sensation of
being in the center of objects which are
rapidly passing away, usually from left to
right, with loss of power TO stand or even
sit, and an almost nightmare feeling of in
ability TO call for help or do anything TO
avert a catastrophe, while throughout the
experience the sufferer retains acute con-
seriousness.
This, we say, is familiar as one, at least, Of
the effects not uucommonly produced by
stopping forward under the special condi.
tons indicated. With many other varieties
of the vertigo consequent upon heart weak
ness or cerebral anDmid, observation or eX.
pelieuce has made us all acquainted We
cannot, however, help thinking that the con-
sequences of even partial compression Of
veins of the neck, offering an obstacle to the
return OK blood from the head, with its inn
portant organs, are not SO well recognized.
The peculiar foIm-or, moro accurately, the
several forms-of headache distinctly caused
in this way when the head is long bowed for
ward on the chest, bending the neck on it
self cannot fail TO occur to every one; nor
will the high tension of the eyeball, the tur-
gid and heavy eyelids, the shutting nose, the
deafness, with bua2ing and throhbing in the
ears the heavy breathing and the pulled and
perhaps flushed or darkened color of the
face, resulting from the INSTRUCTED yenous
circulation through the Bonded neck, be for
gotten.
