As Like as Two Peas.

In former years Remus and Rufus
Jones were well known in Atlanta, Ga.
They were twin brothers, and none but
their intimate friends could tell them
apart. The two Dromios in Shake
speare's Comedy of Errors" were never
worse mixed or more COMPOUNDED than
the two Jones brothers, Remus and
Rufus. Both were excellent carpenters,
followed the same trade, dressed alike,
and contracted similar habits. Both
grew up together and married, Some
thing over a year ago Remus took large
dose of morphine and ended his life. 1t
seems that Rufus is even like his brother
in his desire to kill himself, as he took
big dose of morphine with suicidal in
tent on Wednesday night.-lSaseaaea

Too Much Food.

A physician says: ''Most persons eat
four times as much as they should" The
proportion seemed pretty large, but au
eminent British physician of former
generation said almost the same thing
that one-fourth of what we eat goes to
sustain life, while three-fourths go to
imperil it. Another physician wittily
remarked that most people dig their
own graves with their teeth. The foun-
dalton of the habit of over-eating is apt
to be laid in childhood and youth, since
the stomach then seems able to bear
almost anything. There would be little
danger of eating too much, if the food
were always plain and simple; in that
case, the natural appetite would bea safe
and sufficient guide. The trouble is
that the natural appetite is too often
spoiled by cakes, pies, condiments and
highly seasoned food. Another source
of dyspepsia is emotional waste of nerv-
Gus force. In the normal condition of
things, it is renewed as fast as it is used.
But nature makes no provision for the
immense amount expended by excessive
care, by fuss and worry, by hurry and
drive, by explosions of passion, and by
the undue excitements of pleasure. All
these are like great leakage of steam.
The stomach is the first and largest
sharer in the loss Another source is
oyerwork of the brain. Brain-work is
specially exhaustive of nerve force, and
the exhaustion is greatly increased by
the fact that high intellectual activity
gathers to itself most delightful mo-
mentum, making few hours of high
pressure work more productive than days
of plodding. Moreover, brain worker
generally neglects physical exercise and
curtails sleeps. He is like the careless
engineer who, while driving at the high
est speed, fails to supply the needed
wood and water. He can not help being
a dyspeptic. Another cause, which
generally acts with all the others, is a
lack of active exhilarating outdoor
exercise and recreation. Such exercise
and recreation are absolutely essential.
1t is vastly easier to prevent dyspepsia
than to cure it.

At recent meeting of the Edinburgh
Royal Society Dr. John Murray discussed
the question of the origin and nature OF
coral reefs and other carbonate of lime
formations in recent seas. He frs. re
ferred to experiments which have rec , ly
been made regarding secretion and solu-
ton OF carbonate of lime. Carbonate of
lime remains are found in great abun-
dance at the sea bottom in shallow wa
tiers, but the amount steadily diminishes
as the sea depth increases, until at 1000
fathoms almost every trace has disap-
peared. This is due to solution. as the
organisms slowly fall to the bottom.
Everywhere within 500 fathoms of the
surface the ocean teens with life. The
Greely expedition was starving within
ten feet of abundant food, which might
have been obtained DO breaking hole
through the ice and using shirt as a
drag net Public Opinion.

CHICAGO FOUND WANTING.

Chicago has been weighed in the balance and
found wanting. It is uttering only the simple
and sober truth to say that the country at large
has been grevously disappointed and chagrined
at the manner In which Chicago has failed to
rise to the opportunities opened before her
when it was decided that the Worlds Fair
should go to that city instead of New York
New York made an earnest and honorable ef-
fort to secure the prize, but it accepted the re-
suit without murmurng and made haste to con-
graduate it's successful rival. Although there
had been some doubt about Chcago's ability to
provide properly for the financial end of the
undertaking. public confidence treasured
by the careful inquiries made by the Senate and
the outlook for the Exposition in honor of
Columbus and his Discovery looked hopeful,
especially when it was determined to hold it in
1898 instead of 1892.
Nearly half year has passed and what do
we see? Are there any serious preparations
under way for work which must be completed
two years and half hence? Does Chicago
manifest any profound interest in the Fair
which she was at so much pains to secure? Is
there any particular interest displayed any
where in the undertaking or anything Visible or
tangible to stimulate popular feeling in mat
ter that would naturally be expected to arouse
the concern of the whole country? As a mat
ter of fact, of preparations for the Fair in
Chicago there are none The financial aspect
of the enterprise is far from satisfactory and
the principal thing on view Is pretty lively
sGuabble over the question of site, as TO which
not step forward has been taken in the entire
period that has passed since the Worlds Fair
bill became law An excellent National Com
mission has been appointed in connection with
the Fair and capable president chosen in the
person of ex-senator Palmer but so far as
local enterprise in Chicago is concerned, no
progress whatever is visible. Instead there
are whispers of the abandonment of the under
taking altogether.
1t is not difficult TO imagine totally different
state of things if the Fair had been awarded to
New-York. This city was really in earnest
about the matter and would have put forth
sturdy efforts 10 make the Columbus Exposition
a success comparable to that won by the great
Exhibition in Paris But Chicago has thus far
failed miseraby TO grasp and use her oppor-
tunity. Is the spirit of Indifference still 10
prevail there? Is Chicago ready TO toss her
prize aside as a baublc of no yaue? II so, she
will be hOpelesSly discreditcd in the eyes of our
own people. and likewise III those OF foreigners
if any such have really thought OF Chicago as
the seat of anything more than local or
National exhibition. 1t is not yet too late for
the second city in the United states TO shake
off the lethargy that benumbs her. But we
need hardly assure her that il soon will be too
