DIR. Pye Smith holds that there is no
fear Of the ordinary man using his
brains too much for health, and he does
not believe that mental labor or honest
work of any kind interferes with health
or shortens life a day. He maintains
that excessive eating is the abuse that
tends to the injury of brain workers
more than any other cause.
Many active brain workers have sud
denly broken down and fancied that it
was due to brain fatigue, when, as a
matter OF fact, 1t was due to over stuff
ing their stomachs. The furnace cen
nection with mental machinery became
clogged up with ashes and carbon in
various shapes and forms, and as a re-
suit disease cane, and before the case

dition of the nervous system was man

collapse was suppressed under the eu-
phemistic mental overwork. Pitts

Her Only THOUGHT.

1t was one of the days when the wind
blows suddenly and sharply around the
corners, when the dust whirls in clouds
and the air has hard, cold dampness
which goes straight through any coat
except fur one. Away up town on
one OF tho western avenues where cheap
shops are kept on the ground floor of
cheap fiat houses q woman stood by a
window with baby in her arms. Her
dress was shabby and so thin that the
wind went through it as through sieve.
The baby had a wooden frock and a
worsted coat and cap, and seemed to be
warm enough as he burrowed upon the
woman's shoulder and dug his sprawl
ing little fingers into her eyes.
In the shop window were displayed
two kinds of garments. On one side
were women's WOODEN petticoats and all
kinds of heavy cotton underclothipg
which looked warm and comfortable
But this woman did not see them. for
she was looking on the other side of the
window, where were shown little knitted
hoods and tippets of white, fiossy stuff
and babies mittens and babies shoes
and babies fancy caps, with ribbons in
them.-New York Times.

Swallowing Abl,l,Ie. Of snakes.

The jaws Of the chicken snake are

case may be, and an entire Texas cot

material and very stretchable the kick
ing little animal soon finds Judgment

carefully resets his jaws so that his
mouth assumes its normal size and
blissfully reposes for the succeeding six
hours. The powerful gastric juice does
the balance, rad no Texan can testify
that he ever heard Of chicken snake
suffering from indigestion or chronic
dyspepsia. The capture and digestion
OF chickens, song birds, turkey eggs and
rats constitute simple pastime to the
chicken snake and does not call for a

A Pathetic Death on Pixies Peak.
Several years ago. when the summit
house ON Pixies peak was used as a sig
nal station. the occupants of the hut
were a telegraph operator and COM
panion. Winter had set in with more
than usual severity. Unexpectedly the
telegraph operator was taken sick and
failed sorapidly that the first day Of his
illness plunged him into delirium. The
companion of the operator was not ia
miliar with telegraphy. Their provisions
were growing short. " f'ff
The second night brought no relief.
The sight of his raving. half starved
comrade grew intolerable to the weary
nurse, who one night went out on the
mountain top. Scarcely had the door
closed behind him than reason returned
to the dying operator. With the little
strength that he had retained he dragged
himself to his instrument and flashed
over the wire, down the mountain side,
that his companion had been lost on the
mountain and that he could live but a
little while, but that they might yet be
rescued II assistance started at once.
Crawling back to his pallet the sender
Of the message died. The wanderer at
length found his way back TO the hut to
have added 70 his cherries surroundings
the presence Of death. At tho sight Of
his lifeless .comrade the last ray Of hope |
faded, and he sank unconscious beside |
the dead operator.

was distress on the mountain top party |
