REMEDY FOR BRAIN WEAKNESS.

From a Lecture by DIR. Kate Lindsay, OF the
Battle Creek sanitarlum.
Breathing exercises are among the
best methods to rest wearied brain.
A few heep, full inspirations in the
open air or at least where the air Is
pure, will bring in sufficient supply
OF oxygen TO energize the brain anew.
While the brain has been at work,
waste material has accumulated around
its cells which clogs Its action and
clouds It's clearness, giving TO the head
the tired feeling often expressed by
the saying, II can't think straight"
Brain weariness and muscle wearinesa
are each produced by the same cause
the clogging action OF broken-down
tissue-and oxygenation Is the cure for
each. Ladies' whose breathing Is
choked of third or half by Inn
proper dressing, are unable to seek re-
lief In this way and the unslininatod
waste gives them muddy complsxiona
and pimplea
Another excellent way 70 assist In
relieving the brain from q sense OF
WEAKNESS is TO seek . change Of COM
pany and enter into oonvsrsation on
some new line Of thought Still an
other way 10 rest both mind and body
Is 10 lie down and relax according "a
the Delsartean system. A brisk walk
or 4 spin on bicycle are excellent
ways Of inducing deep breathing and
thus Of sweeping the cobwebs out Of q

A freight collision at Beaver Falls
had blockaded the main line of the
Pittsburgh, Ft Wayne & Chicago rail-

Cleveland & Pittsburgh railroad from
Alliance. The limited was making
this run around and Caruthers, who
was regular engineer on the Cleve-
land & Pittsburgh road, was acting as
pilot for jackson, the limited engineer.
Along the river the fog had been the
most dense experienced in many years
and 1t was impossible TO see signal
lights at any distance, while the sema-
phores could uot be distinguished at all.
An engine with several freight cars
had been working in the Wellsville
yards and was crossing the main tracks
when the limited crashed into II. 1t Is
presumed that the signal was all right
but that the crew OF the limited could
not see II on account OF the density of
the atmosphere. Caruthers was killed

FIGHTING PRAIRIE FIRES.
Tactics Used by the Dwellers on the Great
Western Plains.

Tactics Used By the DweIIers on the Great
Western Plains.
Prairie fires are among the great
est evils of the vast plains OF the
West and every year many thousand
dollars worth Of property is de-
stroyed, while lives are occasionally
sacrificed. These fires are often easily
subdued when the wind is light but
when a strong wind or a tempest
RACES human power can hardly stay
their ravages. The spectacle, then,
of seas of flame flashing over the
prairie is one terribly sublime.
The plains people, knowing the
danger of these fires, use precaution,
airy measures. Those dwelling in the
more exposed districts plow what are
known as fire guards" around their
houses, barns, stacks of hay. grain
bins, and, if thought necessary, even
around the entire farm. These "lre
guards" may be from six to eight
rods wide. The ground thus plowed
will usually give protection against
a prairie fire. But in wind storm,
the flames leap the ''fire guards"
streams and what on ordinary occa-
sions would be insurmountable bar
riers When, therefore, the plowed
fire guards fail, it becomes a literal
war Of determination between man
and the flames.
The tactics of man are simple. He
fights fire with fire, and just as in
a city conhagration the fireman blow
up and destroy buildings to keep the
flames from spreading and to check
their onward progress, the plains
people burn and destroy the grass
nearest them. They set fire, Of
course, only to grass growing on the
side of the plowed ground nearest the
advancing flames. Although the
wind may be against IT, this fire, not
being at first very great, cannot cross
the guard, and will burn against the
wind until it meets the prairie blaze,
which must then cease in that direc-
ton, as there is nothing left for it to
consume. These Thanksgiving meas
eres, however, are often taken toe

And wed the ruler to the sage
Bid reason smite thy brute.bed wrong.
The lions imp in man thy tact has badgered

Truth right, are all the "powers that be"
That any should obey.
Here, woman, stGnd this ground your own.
There's not man will cast stone

A RACE OF BUSINESS WOMEN.
They Are Rapidly Taking Hold of the Al
T,g. m

They Are Rapidly Taking Hold of the AZ
fairs of Their Sex
1t was u famous saying of Lord
Brougham-though attributed by him
to somebody else unlInown-thatit it was
the whole end of king, lords and COM
mons, and of the whole machinery of
the state, to bring twelve good men to-
gether in n jury-box. In similar way
it was once said by an experienced
American lawyer that the most impor-
tant result of all the great recent
changes in the position of women--new
laws, new education, new professions
would be found in the creation of a
race of business women, who would
look after their own money matters,
instead of trusting them utterly to men.
1t is inevitable that this result must in
some degree follow. A race of women
brought up to read, write and cipher,
to keep books and send business let
ters, to study constitutional law and
political economy, to sit on school COM
mittees and charity boards, to manage
tenement-houses and prisons to prnc-
tice law and medicine, and make their
own wills, can not possibly remain lin
that state of pupilage which was once
the only natural condition of their. sex.
Whether it is pretty or otherwise,
graceful or otherwise, race of busi-
ness women is upon u.s. For observe
that it is not needful that each indi-
vidual woman should do all these
things in person, or, indeed, any of
them; the most secluded woman still
feels the effect of the general change,
just as the disturbance of the central
waters of lake finds its way at last,
though indnitesimally, into the remot-
est nook. The social alteration is in
the air, in the newspapers, in the whole
habit of life. A prominent philan-
thropist in city of hundred thou
sand inhabitants once called my atten-
tion to the fact, and proved it by COM
parison of documents, that whereas,
forty years before, all the leading char
liable associations of that city had men
alone for their officers, they were now
chiefly carried on by women, even the
office of treasurer being now in femi-
nine hands. -Harpers Bazaar.

A Touch of Humanity.

One of the incidents that illustrate
the helpfulness of humanity, when it's
sympathies are aroused, occurred in
Dexter the other day, A barber in that
town who last summer mortgaged his
shop and tools in order to raise money
to buy himself little home, has been
unfortunate since that time and so was
unable to pay the note when due.
Saturday the mortgage was foreclosed
and officers removed the furniture and
tools from the shop A sympathizing
crowd watched the proceedings and
then went to work to repair damages
One hunted up barber chair, another
razor, mugs, etc, and by the time the
confiscated goods were all removed,
the barber was all ready to call for
next" The same evening a subscrip.
ton was started and enough money
raised to buy new chair of the latest
and most approved pattern. Lewiston

1t Is Alleged that Voice May BE Rod
and the Mnsical Notes Purple.
One day, by chance, in conversation
upon colors, one of the persons present,
thinking to express general senti-
ment, remarked in matter-o'- fact way
that certain words had peculiar tints ar
shades. He was utterly unconscious
that he had said anything unusual.

occasion, while we were speaking Of
the blue color of certain flower, made
this remark: SIT is as blue as the nams

ishment of those around her, she added
naively: "You all know very well that
the word julius is blue" Naturally,
none of them had ever suspected such
n thing. Pedrono, physician, has
published very interesting case OF

fessor of rhetoric Some young persons
had assembled and were chatting

nance, beautiful as n yellow dog"
Then this person, remarlting on tho
voice of the one who had Just uttered
the expression, said in serious tone:
"His voice is not yellow, it is red.s
This affirmation called forth astonish,
ment and shout of laughter. They
ell bantered the person who had thus
made known his peculiar impressions,
and, beginning to sing, each one wished
to know the color Of his voice. Those
who learn for the first time of these
peculiar perceptions in Others expert
ence great surprise; they can form no
idea of what it is; the lisening of a
sound to a color seems to them proc
ess utterly devoid of any ineligible
character. Meyerbeer has said some
where that certain chords in music are
purple. What meaning can be given
to this expression? Each of the words
taken separately has Specification;
everyone knows what is meant by a
chord in music and by the color pur-
pie, but the linking Of these terms by
the verb and making such sentence
as "this chord is purple" conveys no
idea to the mind. As well say virtue
is blue or vice is yellow.

an individual character. 1t is the work
OF one person and not of many; it does
not give rise to uniform effects, which
repeat themselves from one generation
to another and in different countries.
1t is especially important in the exam
ination of this subject to take into con-
sideration the number of persons who
affirm that they have the faculty of
color-hearing. According to Bleuler
and Lehman this number would
amount to twelve out of every hun.

1t is charged that the foreigners OF
the legations are the most dissipated
people in Washington. Some of the
young men, while favorably regarded
by the American girls, are looked upon
with more or less disapproval by pru-
dent mammas. Some of them have be.
haved outragcously on occasions, cheat
ing their creditors getting into drunken
rows and otherwise taking advantage
of their immunity from arrest and prose-
cution for debt and other causes.
According to law they are entirely
exempt from the jurisdiction, either
civil or criminal, of the United States
authorities, and if anybody ventured to
sue one of them for money due that
person would be liable TO n fine and
three years in prisonment as a "yio-
lotor OF the laws of nations and dis
turber of the public repose."
Just after the close of the civil war
some of the diplomats stationed in
| Washington made themselves exceed
ingly objectionable They thought they
could do about as they pleased, and
their insolence was carried to such II
point that it was necessary to check it.
One of them is said to have occupied n
chair at german which belonged to
somebody else, and when the hostess
asked him to vacate it he replied:
81 decline to do so, madame 1t Is
absurd to suppose that one can get en-
gage seat at dance rs if it were at
the theater."
In another instance a foreign secre-
tary made an offensive remark to n
young lady, and then put his foot oil
her dress to prevent her from getting
up and leaving him. In both these
cases the perpetrators of the acts de-
scribed were challenged immediately
to fight several ducls, and they fled
from the city.
1t was only during the last admins
tration that two members of n South
| American delegation made business
of getting girl drunk at party by
plying her with champagne. In conse-
quence of this affair they were recalled
by their government. A like fate

and starved his family so they were
obliged to apply to neighbors for sus-

But it must be acknowledged that the
foreigners have had numerous reasons
wherefore they might justly complain
of people of Washington MS barbarians.
