A DARKENED SlCKROOM.
An Old Superstition Through Which Il
Remedial Power of Sunshine Is Lost

An Old Superstition Through Which the
Remedial Power of Sunshine Is Lost.
The custom of keeping the sickroom
darkened at all hours is still too prevalent
in spite of modern sanitary teaching. Halls
Journal of Health says there is no sense in
this; it is as if the attendants were antici
pating the death of the patient, and if the
reason is asked for it is as inconsistent Is
the act. The reason usually offered is that
the patient cannot bear the lights as
though the light could not be cut off from
the patient by a curtain or screen, and as
though to darken one part of the room it
were necessary to darken the whole of it,
The real reason is an old superstitious
practice connected with smallpox and other
terrible diseases involving the exclusion of
light. A more injurious practice really
could not be maintained, as by it a great
remedy is lost. Sunlight diffuses through
a room and warns and clarifies the air. Il
has direct influence on the minute Or
ganic poisons-a distinctive influence that
is most precious-and it has a cheerful eff
feet upon the mind. The sick should never
be gloomy, and in the presence of the light
the shadows of gloom fly away. Happily
this fact is now recognized in hospital prac-
tice, and should be equally SO in private
practice

Excessive Muscular DEVELOPMENTS.

When great muscular strength or agility
follows in the wake of physical exercise
these should be regarded as identical and
entirely subordinate to the health of body
which the exercise has secured. To exer-
else for strength alone and TO estimate it
as the chief aim is an inexcusable blunder
There is no necessary physiological, casual
relation between strength and health. In
deed it is a notorious fact that professional
athletes are often defective in some bodily
organ. and they generally die early in life
from heart or lung trouble. Developing
certain sets of muscles to the exclusion Of
others makes the muscular system unsym-
metrical and interferes with the equable
distribution of the general blood supply
Inordinate development of muscular power
calls for unnatural activity from the cen
trail vital organs, and thus it frequently
occurs that under the strain of some special
effort the heart or lungs fail and death re-
suits, says The Doctor

the number offered for sale was rather

good cattle and some fair, and trading
was brisk while the stuff lasted. Eastern
market reports were unfavorable, and
caused a weaker feeling here Some sales
men quoted their sales 3 a 10 cents lower

THAT FOOLISH LIBEL SUIT.
From the MassIIlonIan.

The jury in the libel suit, brought by
Levi +. Wise, of Greentown, against
the Canton n NEws-DEMOCRAT failed to
agree yesterday after being out twenty
five hours 1t is said that eight jurors
voted for 10 cause of action and four
favored nominal damages,
This will probably be the end of a
very foolish attempt to secure dam
ages for the publication of news. There
was no attempt by the prosecution to
prove malice on the part of the pub
fishers. An action in court had been
brought against Mr.. Wise, and the
NEws-DEMoCRAT, as 1t had perfect
right to do, and as 1t always does, pub
lished all the news and proceedings of
the case. Mr.. Wise won the suit,
and Immediately concluded that the
NEWS DEMOCRAT had libeled him by
publishing the news, and he commenced
action for damages. The result is
stated above.
The NEWS-DEMoCRATi Is to be con-
graduated upon its victory. Libel suits
are becoming altogether too frequent
Every man who gets into trouble, and
is written up in the newspaper, thinks
he has been libeled, and if he can find a
lawyer willing to take chances, will
bring suit. While very few such suits
are decided against the newspapers
they make trouble and expenses. 1t is
time that the courts took cognizance OF
these affairs. A few cases thrown out
of court would have salutary effect.
