This PAYS.

1t pays every one to follow the thOuS-

free offer of DR.. Greene, of 81 Temple
Place, Boston, Mass, the most success
full specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases. He has established a
system of free letter correspondence, to
tell the sick and suffering everywhere
just what their trouble is and how to get
well. All you need to d is to write him
letter, telling him your symptoms and
how you feel. He will answer it, eX-
planning your case minutely and giving
all possible information. And for all
this he charges nothing. 1t is the best
opportunity you ever had to consult the
highest authority. without leaving your
home, and without paying any fee.
He gives such careful attention to
every letter, that you understand in
stantly just what ails you. He makes II
specially of treating patients through
letter correspondence, and is having
wonderful success by this method. 1t
was this same successful physician who
discovered that remarkable medicine, DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem

tremendous practice, enables him to
Thoroughly understand your complaint
by writing him your symptoms. It's easy
enough to try it, and it won't cost you

MENTAL REACTION.
The Minds Ouickness of Operation and
How 1t Is Measured.


Let dozen or 20 persons take hold of
hands in ring. Each is to press the hand
of his right hand nGighbor as soon as no
receives a pressure from the left. One per-
son starts the pressure going and at the
same instant observes the position of tho
second hand of a watch Tho pressure
passes all around the circle, and when it
arrives at the originator he notes how
many seconds were required for the given
number of persons in succession to receive
an impression and make up their minds
to act in response The total time is then
divided by the number of persons. This
is crude illustration of the reaction time
which we measure with great accuracy on
single persons.
AS the mental portion of the reaction
time becomes more complicated the time
becomes longer. For example the proc
esses of mental discrimination and choice
require times of their own. The way we
get ut these higher mental processes can
be illustrated in a simple way. A person
placed in a quiet room is to tap tele
graph key every time he sees red light
which can be produced at the will of the
eXpcrimentCr in the recording room. The
interval of time between the actual ap.
key is tapped is accurately measured. Fol-
awhile nothing but the red light is used,
this to obtain the simple reaction time.
Then red and yellow lights are turned on
in irregular succession. The person has
now to discriminate between two colors
and to choose between action and nonac
ton. The increase of time required oven
the simple reaction time gives the dis
elimination time for two COlors. In an
other set of experiments three ColOrs are
used, then four colors. AS the discrimina
ton and choice become more complicated
more time is required.
The Importance of rapid and accurate
reaction and discrimination is evident.
Astronomers have difficulty in recording
the moment at which star passes a line
in the telescope. The sportsman must pull

Beyond His Expectations.

When the first edition of Thomson'5
"Seasons" came out, the poet sent IA copy,
handsomely bound to Sir GilbeE Elliott
of Mimic, afterward lord justice clerk, who
had shown him great kindness.
Sir Gilbert showed the book, which was
really credit to the publisher, to his old
gardener, who was a relation of Thorn
sons. The old man took it in his hands,
turning it over and over and gazing at it
in evident admiration. Sir Gilbert asked;
well, David what do you think of
James Thomson now? There's a book
that will make him famous all the world
over and immortalize his name"
David, looking first at Sir Gilbert and
then at the book, replied proudly:
'In truth, sir, it is grand book. l did
no think the lad had ingenuity cnow to
ha done sic a neat piece of handicraft as
that"
And without glance inside the hand
some covers the gardener handed the book
back to his employer, repeating his sur
prise that his poor poetical relative should
have attained to such praiseworthy work.

the Law There.
In Vienna begging is strictly forbidden,
and every policeman is instructed to ar
rest any person asking for aims in pub
lie thOrOughfare. Quite recently, q Vienna
correspondent says, the letter of the law
in this question was practically explained
A young mother stood before the judge
accused of having transgressed against the
vagabond law. She had placed herself
with baby in her arms and a miserable
little child clinging to her rag of a gown
at a street corner, and she had done moth.
ing more. Questioned whether she had
been guilty of begging, she answered, u
cannot say that did not hope passersby
would see how destitute l was with my
children and would give me something,
but l did not even whisper a prayer nor
lift hand in CntrGaty." The policeman
was then questioned and he said he had
watched the woman for some time and
had seen a great many persons give either
her or her child money. He considered
her to be a bCggar and arrested her The
judge said; That is not the question, but
what you are to answer is this Did she
beg by word, look or gesture" "No, she
did not. She never once addressed any
body, but she allowed both children to
howl miscrably and never did anything
to make them quiet" 1t was then dccid-
ed that if a person by her sole appearance
calls forth public pity no one should pre-.
vent acceptance Of what is freely offered,
and the charge was withdrawn. But opin'
ion is not unanimous among lawyers. The
woman knew exactly how far she could
go and begged according to the law,

The One Sole Writing Requisite.

There is at least one essential qualifica.
ton for the leader writer. We don't refer
to knowledge of grammar and spelling,
though this is an advantage. Still print
ers' readers belong to very superior class,
and they are generally able to rcctify any
little slips of this sort. Besides if an uc-
cidcnt does happen, so very few people
will notice it.
But there is one power he absolutely
must have, and here again the young man
is generally at an advantage compared
with the cid, since it depends upon muscle
and nerve rather than brain. He must bO
able to write fast and the possession of
this power will alone go far to the making
of the complete leader writcr-Macmil

Tho cake is mostly imported by foreign

says the consul, must be far more inju-

Danger From catarrh.

The most important feature about that
very common complaint. catarrh in the
head, is its tendency to develop into
some other more serious and dangerous
disease. The foul matter dropping from
the head into the bronchial tubes or
lungs is very liable to lead to bronchitis
or consumption, that destroyer which
causes more deaths in this country than
any other disease. AS catarrh originates
in impurities in the blood, local applica-
tions can do but little good. The COM
mon sense method of treatment is ia
purify the blood, and for this purpose
there is no preparation superior to
Hoods SarSaparila. The powerful ac-
ton of this medicine upon the blood ex-
pels every impuritv, and by SO doing
cures catarrh and gives health to the en-
tire organism.
