west, where he began life of debauch-

Ten years after my marriage my IA
thcr wrote letter urging me to como
home 1t was so full of the spirit of
contrition and so pitifully pleading In
its tone that l was not proof against It's
requests. He stated that my step
mother was very sick and not likely to

they were all in great trouble and need

sorrow.

I did not hesitate. put aside all of the
past, dismissed every recollection Of my

save a wish to console them went forth on
amission of mercy and charity, happy in
the thought that l could do good to
those who had done so much TO darken
my life.
Arriving at my fathers house was
shocked and grieved by the sight that
met my eyes. My father was so changed
since that morning when l stood on a
distant hill and looked back to my old
home and saw him for the last time.
Then he was proud, erect and strong,
while now saw him bent with age and
trouble, his head whitened and his face
furowed. My stepmother, too, was 80
sadly altered. Instead of the proud, de-
fant woman she was when she drove
me from my fathers house / found her
u sunken, wasted skeleton, weak almost
unto death. And Mary, my once
naughty sister, what a change there had
been in her! 1t needed no words TO tell
me that she had suffered bitterly and
that her hopes and her life were blasted.

her aged countenance, her deep
sunken eyes and her bowed form.

Death from OVeryyOrk.

The familiar story Of the breakdown
Of brilliant intellect under too great
strain Is told once more in the case Of
DR.. Roberts BartholoW, until recently
professor of materia medlCa and the
rapeutics in the Jefferson Medical Col
lege, of Philadelphia DR.. Bartholow
was eminent as q practicing physician,
as an instructor and lecturer, and as
writer on medical subjects To each of
these three departing Of activity be
devoted energy and effort enough to
have made him famous, had that alone
been the work OF his life. 1t has been
said Of him that no man in the profess
sion ever wrote so industriously and at
the same attended to so large practice
He went crazy, and is now under re-
straint in the Pennsylvania hospital for
the insane.
The usual and indeed the convention
al comment npon such case is that
the result was to be expected. In
stances where too jealous devotion to
q congenial line of intellectual labor has
sent men to the lunatic ward, or to the
grave, are within the experience or
recollection of almost anyone who gives
the matter thought. And yet cases
of the sort bear so small a ratio to the
total of assiduous or even excessive
mental eXertion that it would seem
that the risk of insanity or death di-
rectly from mental overwork is about
the same as the danger Of death by
railway travel or by crossing lower
Broadway when the street is crowded.
The tenn ptation to generalize upon a
case like DR.. BartholOw's is strong,
comments writer in Frank Leslie's
Weekly. On the other hand, instanc-
es of phenomenal health and perfect
sanity accompanying habits of intense
and diversified mental application are
quite as common as those which we are
considering. Mr.. Gladstone is an eX-
ample, and we could name half doz-
en- eminent gentlemen on this side of
the Atlantic who are working as hard
in their way as DR.. Bartholow worked
in his, and who would be much more
in danger of the madhouse if they
lessened their intellectual activity than
if they maintained it at habitual
pressure.
Another commonplace Of the subject
erworry that kills. This is meaningless
when you analyze the proposition.
Wherever the heart and the inteilectu-
al interest are engaged in mental und-
ertaking of severe and protracted char
acter, the worry" goes with the work
and is inseparable from it; and by wor-
ry is meant nothing more nor less than
the nervous approximation which is
the stimulus of effort, and which makes
endeavor effective. The work that
kills, the worry that unseats the reason,
are work and worry expended unwill-
ingly, fruitlessly, hopelessly. This is
the rule; cases like DR.. Bartholow's are
the exception.
More people need the spur of an ex
ample like Gladstone's than the warn
ing of tate like that of the Philadel-
phia professor. Overwork does some
times kill, but it has been accused I'M
justly Of ten murders for everyone that
it has In fact committed.

lt Was Weber.

Weber was the first who established
permanent workable telegraph line,
and thereby demonstrated the practical
value of the electric telegraph. Weber,
house IN the city was connected with
the astronomical and magnetic observa-
tories by line between three and four
kilometers lover two miles, in length.
The signals were made Dy the deyia-
tons Of the needle Of a galvanometer
to the right and left, and were inter
preted according to a conventional al
phabet. The use of interrupted or re-
versed currents did not permit the
transmission OF more than one or two
words q minute, but the speed was in
creased to seven or eight words by the
use of indicted currents.
The following first notice Of this tele-
graphic connection was published in
one of the numbers of the Gottingischen

who had dined well, who would tell
good stories at the club.
Stretched out in the BARRIERS chair in
the hairdresser's room on School Street,
instead of settling down with that indif-

comes over man in that position, he
seemed troubled. He looked about

from its folds withdrew lock of hair.

waiting for their turn in the chair saw
him kiss the sunny lock and put it back
