NERVOUSNESS IN AMERICA.
DIR. Mitchell says 1t Is the Character
istic Disease of the Nation.

DIR. S. Weir Mitchell considers it
proved beyond any dispute that nervous
ness is the characteristic maiady of the
American nation, growing upon them in
frightf0lly accelerated ratio every year,
and threatening them with disasters at
no distant date, which the mind shrinks
from contemplating, says writer in Me-
Clure'S Magazine. The number Of deaths
from this cause is already appalling, and
is steadily and rapidly increasing. In
some OF the busy centers the tables of
mortality show that the proportion of
nerve deaths has multiplied more than
twenty times in the last forty years, and
that now the nerve deaths number more
than one-fourth of all the deaths re-
corded. What is most shocking in these
returns, this fearful loss of life occurs
mainly among young people of both
sexes.
This means that the Americans are fast
becoming very short-lived people; and
that If they were shut in on themselves
for only few years. without any influx
of vitality by immigration. the publica
ton of The census would send pang of
horror and alarm throughout the land.
What is the cause of this? DR.. Mitchell
is clearly OF the opinion that the first and
most potent cause is the climate. How or
why the climate or America produces the
effects that it does has never been eX-
planned. DIR. Mitchell says the operation
of climatic conditions in relation to health
in this country is utterly mysterious, but
he is quite persuaded that the develop
ment of a nervous temperament is one Of
the race changes which are also giving
the Americans facial, vocal and other Pc
culiarities derived from none of their an
cestral stocks. Some scientific observ-
ers have affirmed that there is an 'elec-
tric' quality in the climate here which
operates powerfully on the nerves. but it
is not clear what they mean by that, and
Dir. Mitchell, who has probably given the
subject more attention than anybody
else, does not consider the evidence of
this electric agency sufficient to found
theory.
What is certain is that people coming
largely from the phlegmatic races un-
dergo change OF temperament here and
become excitable, emotional and irrita-
BILE in degree that is unknown in any
other part of the world. Another plainly
recognized effect of the American climate
is that it makes the strain of either III en-
tai or physical labor much more severe
than it is elsewhere.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Tehama County, Tor the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, 10
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
30, SO, 12O, 16o and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual instailments. Thus nc part of the prin-
| cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which 10
pay five equal annual installments, with III
terest at the rate of z per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity 10 purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre.
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
ands, suitable for general farming, and es-
peoially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down TO fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase Of this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting It's set
tlenent in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

AS rule. the young and middle-aged
Japanese young women are quite good
looking, subject to the pecularities of
their type. They have smooth. round
faces, often with fresh color, liquid black
eyes, exquisite hands and we'll round ed
arms. Their feet are not so attractive,
being spread out by the use of clogs or
patterns. This footgear tends to give
them ungraceful gaits-a sort of waddle-
and 1t is considered the correct thing to
toe in. Their costume, almost always
becoming as to material and color, makes
them look little dunpish. This is espe-
cially the effect of the great bow of the
belt, or OBI, worn on the small OF the
back, as much as foot square, In most
cases the faces wear amiable. contented
expressions. They are not worn by care

A MASTERPIECE OF MECHANISM
The Great Clock ut Rouen Has Been
Going for Five Hundred Years.


Going for Five Hundred Years.
The great clock, the pride of the people
of Rouen, cannot perhaps claim to be the
most ancient in France; that of the Palais
de Justice and the great clock of Caen
may justly claim to dispute with it the
honor of antiquity, but it is certainly
true that none other can compete With it
in perfection of construction. A clock
which has practically been going regu-
larly and striking the hours and quarters
for over 500 years may fairly be regarded
as valuable piece OF mechanism. Fin
ished in September, 1889, by Jehan de
Feiains, 1t has been running without in
terruptiOn from than day to this requir-
ing nothing except cleaning and few
trlf1lng repairs OF its accessory parts. 1t
was certainly not with this clock that the
famous proyerb originates, "This is the
palace clock which goes when it pleases"
On the contrary, the great clock of Rouen
had SO accustomed the citizens to look
upon its exactitude as a matter of course,
that when, in 1872, the breaking of a wire
prevented its sounding O'Clock one
morning the population was in a state OF
CONSERVATION. The magistrate sum-
moned the custodian, Guilaume Petit,
and demonstrated gravely with him.
This unparalleled course from century
to century is all the more remarkable
from the fact that until l712 the great
clock had no pendulum. For 325 years
it had no other regulator than ''foliot,"
an instrument OF which the majority of
modern clockmakers hardly know the
name. The case of the clock occupies
space of & feet inches long, 5 feet inches
broad and feet 10 inches high When
one thinks of the size and of the labor of
construction by hand of the great wheels
of this admirable piece of mechanism, it
may easily be inferred that the maker.
Jehan de Felains, had ample time to eat
up the little sum he was paid.
The peneulum was introduced into
clockwork in 1859; but so we'll were the
good people of Rowen satisfied with the
mekeeping qualities oftheir famous old
clock, and such was their veneration for
this masterpiece of mechanism, that
fifty three years were allowed to pass be-
fore the pendulum was substituted for the
"foliot." Equipped with this new appa-
ratus, it has continued to this day to
strike the hours and chime the quarters.
In 1892 the Commission of Historical
Monuments decided on the restoration of
the dial and of the two accessory move
ments of the great clock, which show the
days of the week and the phases of the
moon.-R. Raverchon. in Cosmos, Paris.
