BOILING BRAINS.
What the Demon of Over
work Is Doing.
STATESMEN IN NEED OF REST
congressman With Shattered Nerves.
Seekers After
Health.

WAsH1YGToN. Nov. 6. The great
American brain is boiling to-day as it
has seldom hniled before. Financial
troubles and business worries are blazing
away under the kettle. and the demon of
oyerwork is stirring up the soup with
ghoulish glee The newspapers daily
record the suicide and insanity of leading
men and the nerves of rich and poor are
stretched TO their utmost. A level head
and a steady hand are greater necessities
now than silver and gold. and the Ques-
ton of how our great men keep them IS
more Interesting to the masses than the
discussions of Congress. I am surprised
TO find how prominent men have to fight
for steady brains. Half of the mem bers
of Congress have shattered nervous sys-
tens and there are number OF leading
Senator'S who are fighting the arch fend
Of insomnia night after night.
Perhaps the worst sleeper who ever came
10 Washington was Abram S. Hewitt. He
had suit with a baker in the next block,
whose dog barked at the moon at midnight,
and he went almost wild over a cock that
cr0wed near him in the early morning He
kept house here for time and had beds in
half dozen different rooms. He would
change about from one room to the other
10 his efforts for sleep, and when in New
York he would go about from house to
house for the same purpose. During a
part of his congressional career he boarded

the Senate, and he varied this by working
ont mathematical problems. Senator Hoar

White gets his rest by study ng the stars
through telescope and working out astro-
nomical problems, and the late Justice
Bradley got his rest In mathematics.
By all odds the ablest of our Presidents
ara those who have some wav of relaxing
their minds. George Washington WAS
fond of a good horseraee. He got his res
in horseback riding and hunting, ana ne
spept a good part or every year at Mount
Vernon. Thomas Jefferson spent part
of every day in riding through the woods
about Washington while he was Presl-
dent. He was often taken for prl-
waite citizen, ard once In crossing Rock
Creek near here a man who wanted to ford
the creek and not get his feet wet asked
him to carry him over behind him, whlrh
he did. He rode every afternoon while he
was President from l O'Clock until 3. and
" hen he was almost crazy on account OF
the death of bis wife he roamed about
for DAYS on horseback. He was fond
Of good horses and his coach horses
cost $500 apiece. Frank Pierce was
another President who thought that
THE hest cure for the inside OF man
was the outside of horse. de gal
loped about the streets of Washington at
midniehf while he was President. He was
fond OF rid ing after dark, and bis favorite
horse was blind. James Buchanan took

media.ely entered into commercial rur-
suits, dealing largely in the importation of
drills and sheeting with his brother, who
was leading merchant OF Boston, and he
has the credit of being the pioneer bag
man of the State. Later he embarked In
the wholesale produce business and was
the first shipper of California wheat to
New York. On June 19, 1856, he chartered
the ship Adelaide. and the Org inal bill of
lading is carefully preserved with Mr..
BnrdwelPs other curi0s from all portions
of the world.
In 1885, in company with hosts Of other
good citizens. he joined the Vigilance Com
mittee and did some very effective work
in the capacity of No. 1872. He abandoned
his private interests and participated in
the execution of Casey and Cora. and was
also connected with several other noled
cases.

of 1875. when he met with reverses over
which he had no control. Being a man OF
refined and cultivated taste he has always
been patron of the fine arts and a col
lecior of fine ivory carvings. His collpc-
ton of the latter is valued at over S25. 00C
and is said to be the finest on the Pacific
G ast, and was the leading feature at the
Art Loan Exhibition of the Polytechnic last
year.
He has given many valuable paintings
to public institutions in this city, notably

the walls of Pioneer Hall. In 1878 he pre-
sented to the medical department OF the
University of California valuable por-
trait of Gabrielle Fallopeo, by Tintoretto.

causing a great deal of comment in and
around Pine street. All during the long
period when everything was dull in the

blocks of stock, until to-day he is without
doubt the heaviest plunger on the street.

\ pretty good story is told OF the
way in which the officers Of a certain
sloop-of-war OF the North Atlantic
squadron succeeded IL getting their
ships slow and Anticipated steam
launch replaced by one of II later and
more fashionable type. 1t happened
that the vessel hauled into u navy
yard for its periodical repairs. While
there the launch was loudly COM
planned Of a. too heavy and unwieId
ly for sloop-of-war to carry, and ii
careful weighing by the yard author
tiles verified the complaint. There
upon a new and swift little craft
which cost Uncle Sam ever so many
hundreds of dollars was substituted,
and the sloop-of-war steamed eXult-
antly away. But when the old launch
was sent TO the boat shop for over
hauling the workmeu found snugIy
slowed away out OF sight along the
keelSon nearly thousand pounds Of
superhuous ballast iron. The appar.
entity unaccountable weight of the re
jected boat was readily explained.
