FATIGUE FEVER.
A Form Of Danger to Which InJudicious
Athletes Are Liable.

sometimes, owing to faults In tho train
Ing or To the selection of exercises that are
not lifted for the body or TO injudicious
eiorts to excel, certain parts of the body
arc .irrcgularly developed. We are aware
OK this irregular development by tho cir
cumstance that IL may actually become
visible to the eye. In the opera dancer
there may be undue development of the
muscles of the leg, in the rowing man
there may DO undue development of tho
muscles of the arm, and In the cyclist
there may be not only undue develop
ment of the lower limbs when the exercise
Is carried to an extravagant length, but
owing TO the mode in which the body IL
bent over In the act of cycling there is in
duced not infrequently temporary de-
formity which may pass into permanent
one IL 1t be permitted too long; also, in
somo instances, from excessive exercise
tho heart itself becomes enlarged, irreg-
ular in action, at first much too powerful,
In the end too feeble.
These are serious disadvantages, which
creep gradually ON and often arc not do
tected until it is too late for them to be
remedied. There Is another disadvantage
which Is more direct in its nature-that
Is, dangerous degree of muscular fatigue
followed by feverish condition and fol-
lowed again by n considerable exhaustion,
precisely, in fact, as If the person had
passed through fever, SO that physicians
sometimes speak Of tho condition as STA
tigue fever"
We have learned great deal on this
point in the past few years. We have
learned that unless tho muscles have been
brought into fair condition, not an over
condition, they are very susceptible to
change of structure, which il, in its way,
actually dangerous, n sort Of suppressed or
subacute tetanic state, called commonly
rigidity, stiffness Of muscle. The uncon-
ditional muscle, in wearing out under ex-
ercise of an extreme kind, becomes incapa-
bio of natural movement, becomes painful
and produces in itself positive toxic or
poisonous products, which have to be
eliminated or thrown out of the body and
which act truly as poisonous products,
causing fever and ultimate depression as
a result of the fever.
In the lower animals we occasionally OBJ
serve this disease from overexerciso attend
ell with fatal results, as in tho horse that
Is overridden or in smaller animal that
Is too severely chased. We see the disease
specially IN the human subject in young
folks who are training too intently and in
those old who take up some exercise of q
severe kind, such rs mountain climbing
or cycling, under the idea that they are
going to renew their youth and strength.
We find 1t again in those who are fairly
trained when they are endeavoring to
make their muscles what is called hard
like iron, as they boast, n condition which
Is quite mistake to consider good and
which has led TO the sayingN' the train
ing fraternity, "Overtrain, overstrain,"
an excellent warning.-Dr. Richardson in
Asclepiad

National Nicl<uames.

Englishmen have submitted to the name
of John Bull as suited to the national
character. A Scotchman is Sandy. The
irishman derives his name, Paddy, from
his national patron saint, while an ancient
nursery rhyme records the fact that Taffy
was Welshman. English sailors call the
Frenchmen, in contempt, Johnny Crapaud,
but IN France he is Jacques Bonhomme,
or, rs "a bourgeois, M. Prudhomme. Cous-
in Michel is the name by which the Ger.
man is known 10 the continental nation.
Mynhecr sums up the Dutch, while the
Switzer rejoices in the name of Colin
Tampon. Don Whiskerandos is almost q
national nickname for the Spaniards, dat
ing from Elizabethan times. Italians are
known rs Lazzaroni and Danes as Dams

yesterday afternoon and defeated Har-

in the fact that the players were disabled,
but Notwithstanding that the wide mar

to the Crimsons, and Brown has recovered
whatever it may have lost in reputation in
the Yale game last Saturday.
A single error by Whittemore, Harvard's
short stop, ratified the whole team so
badly that thirteen more errors were ad-
ded to the list and Brown men did just
what they liked.
