DANGER OF MENTAL STRAIN.
Serious Disorders Resulting From Too
Much Brain Work.

Serious Disorders Resulting From Too
Much Brain Work.
Intellectual work does not injure
health or shorten life, but mental
overwork, when associated with emo
tional strain, is often a cause of nerv-
Gus breakdown and disease
Health and life are sometimes lost
through forgetfulness of the fact that
| mental strain is dangerous to those in
or past middle life who attempt brain
work to which they have not been ac-
customed.
If not subjected to excessive mental
or physical strain, pubic and profess
sional men, although afflicted with or
ganic diseases, may live in comfort and
do a moderate amount of work for
many years.
Among physicians, lawyers and jour
nalists the performance of brain work
under pressure for time and bad hygi-
enic conditions, is a common cause of
i'll health.
Comparatively few clergymen sue
cumb completely to mental overwork,
although many of them suffer from a
mild, annoying form of nervous ex-
haustion.
The danger to the scientific worker
usually arises from too intense and
prolonged activity of the mind in one
direction. 1t springs largely from the
fascination it has for its votaries. The
system OF severe competitive examine
lions in many communities saps the
health of teachers and pupils.
Chronic nervous exhaustion Is not
common among men prominent in pub
lie affairs and in the professions. Such
men are, however, sometimes the VIC
Tins of a severe acute nervous prostra-
ton.
The warnings of mental overwork
and overstrain vary. but certain
psychical symptoms and such physical
symptoms as laxity or immohility of
countenance, diminished resisting
power, heart failure, sleeplessness,
cervico-occipital pain or distress and
dyspepsia are Of most frequent occur
renee.
Insanity in some forms is often de.
veloped by overstrain of the nervous
systems
Phthisis, diabetes and Brights dis
ease, next to insanity, are among the
diseases most likely to be developed
by mental overwork. Men in whose
families phthisis is hereditary should
carefully guard against such over
work
0vertaxing the mind and nervous
system may be the exciting cause Of
almost any serious disorder to which
chance, accident. imprudence or infec-
ton exposes the individually. Y.

Only q Matter OF Tense.

There is rule at Smith college that
no girl can go out driving with a
young man unless he is her brother,
her fiance, or a near relation. Now,
once upon time not many years ago
a young man went there to see girl
with whom he stood in none Of these
relations, although he wished to be in
one of them. And like any sensible
young fellow in such a pretty town,
he asked her to take n drive, having
no knowledge of the bothersome rule.
The girl said that she would just loye
to go, but she would have to ask the
president.
SIS the young man your brother?'
inquired that functionary.
NO" said the girl.
"Are you engaged?"
mot yet" the blushing maiden an
swered, but think we will be when
we come back il you will only let me
go!'
And tradition says that the presi.
dent relented, and that the couple
came home engaged. Utica Observer.

either born or brought up in this couu-
try, be kept within the Lutheran fold.
An organization has been formed by
the progressive ministers and elders to
secure the change.

who died not long ago, and who was

Cars Run on the Ties Awhile, then Jump

Miles Where there Is Enough Roadbed
to Prevent Sheer Drop into the River
Far Below-Broken Fishplate Causes
the Accident-Nobody Killed.

San Francisco, Dec. ia broken
fishplate was the cause Of a wreck of
the Atlantic and Pacific express on the
Southern Pacific near Towles yesterday
Although a Pullman and a tourist car
left the track and rolled down an en-
bankment, nobody was seriously in
jured. Had the cars gone off the track
fifty feet before reaching the spot
where they were derailed, or fifty feet
west Of the place, nothing could have
prevented them from rolling over the
precipice to the bottom of the Ameri-
can river canyon. The road in that
mountain region winds and twists in
a hundred curves along the steep en-
bankments. Only at intervals is.there
sufficient width TO the roadbed to pre-
vent car from rolling into the rav!nes
if they are derailed.
Charles H. McIn tosh of Pittsburg was
a passenger in the Pullman car. He
says that the passengers had warn
ing that something was wrong. The
car ran along the cross-ties for mo-
ment. This alarmed the passengers.
The car fell onto its side in the snow.
1t slipped over the snow and then roll
ed half over about thirty feet below the
track, against a little hill. The car
did not appear to be damaged very
