II is q common belief that education
wears out the body and invigorates the
mind. Also that nervous diseases are
more common among civilized nations
than among the savages. because the
latter without education are able to at
tain and maintain physical perfection.
1t is claimed BY myself, as well as other
investigators, that the educated man, the
man who studies most, while not physic-
ally strong, is yet not weak and is much
more able to Withstand . given period
Of nervous tension than is the man with
the excellent physique and the moder-
ate comprehension. In fact the intel
igeut mind may be physically sick all
through life and yet live ON in this mis-
cry to good old age, while the strong
physique breaks down early, and having
no mental or nervous acumen dies very
quickly and only at q moderate age.
Among the lowest African tribes, cur
rentl7 supposed to be almost devoid of
nerves, nervous diseases are very COM
mon. In fact. entire tribes are mere
wrecks and only live . little time. It Il
safe to say that with the advent Of civ
tlization these tribes would regain phys
ical strength. Ny best study has been
given to the prominent educators Of the
world. most Of whom find physically
weak, but Iivingon and doing work daily
that would kill the ordinary laborer in
less than three years.-Interview in St.

To Take Strikers Places.

GALEsBURG, Ills, Nov: 22.-Some
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy en-
gineers have left here to take the places
Of strikers on the Lehigh Valley railway.
Several parties are here hiring men for
the Lehigh, and as there is said to be a
large surplus of engineers on the Bur-
lington, predictions are made that many
will go. The Burlington, it is said, fur
nishes transportation and 80 days leave
Of absence. Some of those going came
here six years ago to take the place of
strikers on the Burlington. The feeling
against the men who are going is strong
in labor circles here.

PROMISES TO PAY.

Something More of the Methods Of
Menage Brought to Light.
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 22.-County At
torney Nye had for caller an attorney
who represents Mr.: Alvin, who figures
on a large number Of notes in the
Menage and Streeter lists. The attorney
says that his client signed an almost
unknown number of the notes. He now
lives in St. Paul, but was then in Mime
apolis, and says that he signed the notes
at the request of a friend, who set up
the drinks in compensation for the sigma
ture, and that was all he ever expected
to come of the matter. It has come to
light through some collections received
in st. Paul against Alvin, and as he is
said to be man without prop
erty it was something Of a surprise to
the attorneys to receive notes against
him for collection. These claims con-
tinued to come to light, till finally notice
was received Of an attachment from
some place in Iowa for Judgment OBJ
tanned on promissory notes, and on them
claim was made against the estate of
his mother. This brought matters to a
focus and made action necessary. The
attorney was seeing the county attorney
as to what light he could obtain on the
spuriousness of the notes his client had
signed. He knows of $65, 900 of the Alvin
paper, and his client says that he sig ned
notes in blank for an hour or two-how
many in all he does not know.

900, unprecedented in the history of the

including the Sisters Of Rebekah branch,
is estimated at over ,OOO, 900.
