General Paralysis Passes College
Graduates By-Facts About the
Horrible Modern Disease Known
as Paresis.
[From the New York SUM-
With the single exception of leprosy,
perhaps, the most terrible disease known
to modern medical science is that which
has passed into common speech under the
name paresis. 1t is even doubtful if there
ought to be any exception made. Leprosy
is hideous thing, known mostly in books,
existing, until recently, at least, in scat
tered and comparatively remote parts of
the earth. Paresis is now the characteris-
tic disease of advanced civilization, and
has found its most favored home in the
hurry and worry and toll of and hustle of
American life. It Is a disease which is in
teresting and appalling almost beyond
measure. 1t is decay of mind and body
which is exceeding slow and gradual, but
absolutely certain and infinitely horrible.
No man or woman whom it ever attacked
ever recovered. Its victims are always in
middle life, in apparently the full flush OF
health and vigor. In fact, for long time
in its first stages the characteristic of the
disease is the unusual physical health OF
the victim. The friends of the paretic art
| generally utterly unable to zee, with the
physician, that the man is, indeed, insane
But the disease, once evincing itself, al
hope of its favorable termination must b.

WORK WHILE THE DAY LASTS.
The campaign is nearly over, and there
is little new to be said and little time to
say it. One cheering fact is plain, and
that is that the candidates of the Republi-
can party have steadily grown in favor
from the day of their nomination. 1t was
inevitable that they should, for they are
men upon whom no attack could success
fully be made. The more General Ner-
wins private character and public services
have been discussed the brighter they have
shone. 1t is SO with his associates.
There have been few campaigns in this
State in which as good and worthy nomi-
nees as these have been put before the
voters. 1t is very satisfactory feature of
the important contest, and one which will
have much to do with determining its re-
suit. In spite of Democratic blufing and
bluster we believe that the result will be q
victory for the Republican candidates and
Republican principles. To help bring this
about every man in favor of those candi
dates and these principles should worl
harder than ever from now until the polls
close tomorrow night.

vately tells the mans family that the pa
tient has general paralysis. In nine cases
out of ten the family refuse to believe
anything of the kind. They insist that
the father OF husband has simple nervous
prostration, that it is folly to call him in
sane, and il would be an outrage to con-
fine him in an asylum. But in a few
months their minds are disabused- The
great business schemes and plans of the
victim are soon seen to be hallucinations-
He makes purchases and contracts far in
advance of his means. He makes as
founding gifts to strangers. He brags
continually of his grand health and his
glowing prospects. If he is a man at all
accustomed to the use of money he goes
about making overtures for the purchase,
at enormous rates, of hotels, horses, rail-
roads, buildings, stock companies-every-
thing. His boastfulness turns into evil
dent delusions. He is the best rider, or
jumper, OF walker, or card player, or
fencer, or fighter, in the world. he offers
to make matches in all these and every
kind of sport between himself and any
one for fabulous sums of money. He be-
comes more like a maniac daily. He rush
es around, talking excitedly, gesticulating
wildly, exposing himself to all sorts of
physical perils. He is dangerous Mt this
time, not because he is ugly or vicious,
but because he is bold in the extreme, and
has absolutely no fear of consequences.
BE finally has to be placed in restraint.
| 1t is very lucky If he is taken to an asy-
lum before he has made serious inroads
upon his property, or before he has es-
capped personal injury. Instances are laid
down in medical works of general paralyt-
/ les throwing away their entire estates in a
| few.days or a week.
This is the first stage of the dreaded
"paresis." In the second stage the mans
exaltation and excitement wears off. He
becomes fat and stupid. The expression
| with all that is said to him and is easily
managed. He is apt to fall down in walk
ing. He picks up and stuffs into his pock-
cts all the stuff he can lay his hands upon.
There is no vigor in anything he does.
He talks to himself in bed at night in an
automatic way. He has his delusions, but
he only speaks about them in silly way
| when he is asked. He sometimes barks
and growls when he is alone. The first
two stages last from two to four years
and then comes the third and last. TIL,
stages shade into each other with infnit,
graduation. In the last stage the man'i
whole being has been described as that oi
''happy lethargy." He is so paralyzed
that he cannot walk or stand steadily, and
finally lies like wood upon his bed. He
scannot feed himself, and he cannot eai
anything but liquid or minced food, for b,
bolts his food whole. He is wonderful,
greedy for his food. He cannot utter al
intelhgible sound. He viii finally become
so paralyzed that voluntary motion of an,
kind will cease in him, and he will die o
physical exhaustion.

EVERY REPURLTCAN,s DUTY.

Again we say to all our readers who in
tend to vote for General Merwin and the
other excellent Republican nominees, don't
let anything interfere with you going to
the polls aud voting. A great many Re-
publicans are in the habit of voting if it is
convenient, and if it isn't they let it 60.
Don't fail to vote tomorrow. Nobody
knows how many votes can be spared, and
therefore it is good policy to have them all
in. The Democrats are active and will
vote, rain or shine. 1t is the plain duty
of every Republican to do likewise. Make
up your mind to-day that you will vote to-
morrow, and then make arrangements to
carry out your intention.

greatest obstacles in the way of the con-
structors, Herr Rohlfs says, would be
the sand banks. The largest Of these
banks might be tunnelled, he thinks,
while cuts might be made through the
smaller ones. In many localities sand
sheds, built after the plan of the American
snow sheds, would be necessary.
A great French authority on the COM
plexion asserts that hot water dries out
the natural moisture from the akin and
this infallibly causes it to wrinkle. He
considers tepid water too relaxing to the
fibres of the skin, the great object being
to keep them sstaut' and elastic. He ad-
vocates cold, or cool water, for the face.
The Herald of Health thinks the best
course to keep the skin soft and fresh is to
first wash it with hot water and fine soap,
to cleanse the pores, and Immediately wash
off with cold water as tonic, and preserv-
ative against colds This should be fol-
lowed by hard rubbing with a fine towel.
1t considers this treatment the most scien-
tifc possible for the skin.
Woman doesn't seem to be as uneasy in
Vermont as she is in some places. A bill
has been introduced in the Vermont legis-
lature to give taxable women the right to
vote in town, village, and fire districts,
and the Burlington Free Press expresses
the opinion of most candid men when it
declares that "a refusal to grant this
privilege is to argue that taxation with
out representation is just and right. "
But it adds that there is one thing which
will tell against the bill, and that is the
| fact that ''the women of Vermont
as a whole to all appearances dc
not care q fig whether they are
given the right of suffrage or not" Al
though number of petitions for the meas,
ure have been presented in the legislature,
| the circulators of such petitions have
found the work rather discouraging, not g
single woman being found within the linn.
| its of one town in the northern part of the
State who was willing to give her sigma
ture when the place was canvassed last
week. The Free Press concludes thai
"either the women of Vermont donot wan
the right to vote, or it is an off year il
suffrage circles" and it thinks that "unti
they give more positive expression to theil
desires in this direction the legislature ii
not likely to give the subject very serious
i consideration"

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Boston is quick to welcome new
notion. The applications for free instruc-
ton in Volapuk afforded by the city ex-
ceed the accommodations heretofore pro-
vided, and the chances are that classes will
be formed for several evenings of each
week.
1t doesn't always pay to be mother-in-
law. Mrs. E. S. Williams of Brooklyn
rather overdid the business, for Mrs. Kate
Williams of Denver, her sons wife, has
obtained verdict of $4,000 against her
for being the cause of her domestic in
felicity.
Deposits in the New Hampshire savings
banks show phenomenal growth in the
past ten years-from $2S, ,204, 791 to $685.
727, 7,019, gain of over 130 per cent The
chief reason is that probably these banks
have been unrestricted in the matter of
western mortgage loans, where large
| amounts have been placed at high rates
of interest.
A careful survey of Westminster Alb
bey, taken under the direction of the
royal commission, which has just ad-
| journed its sittings, has made known the
fact that there still remain ninety places
within the edifce where interments may
take place. 1t is pointed out that, taking
the average of the last century, it will be
long time before these ninety places are
filed up.
The Chinese language is hard to learn.
The Rev. James w. Ford, for more than
half a century missionary in China and
founder of the first Christian church in
that country, says: "After studying the
Chinese language for ton years, transla
ted the New Testament and other religious
works. I began to preach, in a way, i'm
mediately after entered Siam, but though
have studied for fifty years do not ye
think I have mastered the Chinese Ian
