Its Effect Upon tho Mental Faculties OF
Those Subjected to 1t.
Extreme cold, as is we'll known, cy-
crts benuinbing influence upon tho
mental faculties. Almost everyone who
has been exposed, for Il longer or u
shorter period, to n very low tcmpcra-
turc has noted u diminution in will
power, and often temporary weaken
ing of the memory. Perhaps tho
largest scale upon which this action has
ever been studied was during the re-
treat of the French from Moscow. Tho
troops suffered extremely from hunger,
fatigue and cold-from the latter per
haps most Of all. German physician
who accompanied 4 detachment of his
countrymen has loft an interesting nc
count Of their trials during this rctreat.
From nn abstract OF this paper by DIR.
Rose, in the New York 'Ncdicinischo
Monatschrift," wo find that one of the
earliest symptoms rcferablc to the cold
wasa loss of memory. This WINS noted in
the strong as well rs those who wcrc
already suffering from the effects OF
the hardshlps 70 which they had been
exposed. With the first appearance of
n moderately low temperature (about
five degrees above zero Fahrenhcit),
many of the soldiers were found to
have forgotten the names of the most
ordinary things about them. as well Us
those of the articles of food for which
they wcro perishing. Many forgot
their own names and those of their
comrades. Others showed pronounced
symptoms of mental disturbance, and
not Il few became incurably insane, the
type of their insanity resembling very
closely senilc dementia. The cold was
probably not alone responsible for
these effects, for zero temperature is
rather stimulating than paralyzing in
it's action upon the wcll-fed and the
healthy. These men were half-starvcd,
poorly clad, worn out with long march,
ing, many already weakened by dysen-
tory and other diseases, and all men
tally depressed, as an army in defeat
always is 1t needed, therefore, no
very unusual degree of cold to produce
the psychic effects observed under
other circumstances only as conse-
quence of exposure to an extreme low
temperature

HOW TROUBLES ARE DIVIDED.
Neither Sex Has Monopoly and They
Vary Chiofly in Kind.


Troubles are pretty evenly divided,
after all, says the Philadelphia Times.
A girl may go nearly distracted when
she feels that the band of her dress
skirt has come unfastened, but think
of the misery of the man when the but
tonhole in the nccllband of his shirt
rips open and lets his collar and neclltic
slide up to his ears a girl has to fold
her hands and wait for man to ask
her to go to the thcatcr with him, but
when she does go she has the comfort
of making the man spend lot of
money. That consoles her to certain
extent. girl has to entertain stupid
callers whether she wants to or not,
because society demands it. a man
has to dance with girls who can't even
walk gracefully, because If he did not
his hostess would consider him rude.
girl carries her life III her hands
when she tries to get within rod of o
bargain counter, but she can walk
along the street in peace. Half dozen
bootblacls don't yell: 'Shine, sir;
shinc?" at her. A girl has heaps of
trouble with her complexion and her
front hair, but she doesn't have to have
a razor go travelling over her face every
day. a girl is very likely to spend
weeks in planning the construction Of
new hat, but when she does get 1t
people don't sit on it, as they always do
ON mems hcadgcar. Perhaps that's be-
cause girl doesn't leave her hat lying
around on sofas and chairs.

Polishing Stolen Skull When Father OF
Dead Calls to Pay His Bill.
One hears some weird and uncanny
stories among the people who pass
through the Union depot from day to
day, says the Atlanta Constitution. II
once knew IL doctor who had very
thrilling experience said Il great tail
man in the waiting-room. 1.-The doc
tor friend of mine when he was
young man practiccd medicine in one
of the towns of the west. \ very
beautiful daughter of one of the
wcalthiest men of the little town-and
the family was a cultured and refined
one, too-was taken sick with some
sort of disease, and gradually tottcred
down the hill till she died. This young
doctor attended the case from the be
ginning. He didn't understand the dis
ease a bit. The young woman simply
began to fade, growing palcr every
day, and finally becoming so weak that
she had to have assistance to raise her
self the slightest bit from her pillow.
1t was disease that puzzled all the
doctors. None of them could tell what
it was preying on her vitals so, and
finally when She died this young doc
tor, being ambitious in his profession
and wanting to learn all there was 10
be learned, determined to rob the grave
and make post-mortem examination
of the subject, this having been refused
by theyoung woman's parents while she
was alive. One night he took his office
boy and another person, whom he en-
ployed to help, and dug the body from
the grave. He made study of the
case, and perhaps learned something
more about it than he would have ever
known from simple diagnosis while she
was alive. But that wasn't all. He
decided to make skeleton of the sub
ject-as he had nonc-and was one day
scraping the skull and polishing it
when in stepped the father of the girl
to pay the doctor his bin for attending
his daughter during her illness. His
agitation and disturbance Of spirits can
more easily be imagined than told when
he arose to face the father of the wom-
an whose skull he held in his hands"

The power of freezing water is one
of the greatest in nature, and under its
force the hardest rocks are constantly
disintegrating. When the water in the
crevices freezes it expands and often
splits off powders from the side of
cliff. 1t is said that in the ncighbor-
hood of IIudson's bay rocks often burst
from freezing with noise equal to
that of heavy artillery"

THE people of East Tennessee a
stand the attacks made upon them by
the mud Singing Turney organs. These
organs are mad because they know
they are engaged in playing a dishon.
est game, and they are bound to heap
coarse and contemplate abuse upon
somebody. So they vent their spleen
upon East Tennessee because East Ten
nessee supported Governor Evans be-
fore and after his election. They are
driven to distraction by the fact that
the Vertrees gang of so called purifiers
failed to discover wholesale frauds in
the elections of East Tennessee. Every
body understands the temper of these
organs and very few people believe
what they say. They can deceive no
body because their motives are well
understood. For a respectful journal
to reply to them is to handy words with
irresponsible blackguards. So let them
rage. "Blow winds and crack your

Turney is consummated, it will be by a
triple violation of the State constitu.

unfairness and injustice in the alleged
investigation that has been made. The
constitution was, in the first place, set
aside to allow Governor Turney to hold
over pending the contest. Then the
contest law enacted by the Legislature
is clearly unconstitutional in that it
provides that the final decision of the
matter may be made by less than a
constitutional quorum of that body,
