Nervousness. and Physical Injuries.

A certain proportion of the cases OF
nervous disease which the physician sees
are due to physical injury. If man be
hit on the head with a club, the inevl'
table result. if the blow be hard enough,
will be a break of the skull, bleeding
from the torn vessels beneath and crush
ing of the substance of the brain itself.
If the blow be lighter, the brain may
still be injured, but the injury will be
less severe A blow upon the back may
break the spine and seriously inJure the
spinal cord. The injury may be slight,
merely pressure upon single nerve
for few hours, yet that may cause trou'
BILE for weeks. Between these two eX-
tremes the nervous system may suffer 10
almost any degree from injury. In none
of these cases need there be any previous
nervous weakness or overstrain. The Ell
feet is purely physical. If, therefore, we
note in the neighborhood of Donnybrook
fair great increase in nervous diseases,
such increase may be due, not to the
greater demand which the conditions OF
modern life make upon the human BRAIN
but To the shillalah. DIR. Philip y

Toupb ,Job For Small Men.

The occupation of boiler inspector
is one in which man cannot grow fat
without losing his job, and perhaps is
a funny business in that respect. Each
boiler inspected is drained of its con-
tents, and then the inspector rigs him
self for dirty job and wriggles himself
into the inside of it through the man
hole. This aperture cannot well be
made large enough to admit large
man, hence the smallest sized fellows
have the monopoly of the business. But
though that fact may be funny, the
business itself, getting into dirty and
sitting places and wriggling like hui
man worm into every hole and corner
to know its real condition, is anything
but fun. The most scrupulous care is re
ouired in these examinations. and as
everything is out of sight, the insurance
company have to depend wholly upon
the trustworthiness of their men. Hence
these get pay that makes amends for all
they have to undergo. sufficient, indeed,
TO keep them from getting too big for
their NATURALIZATION Journal.

the Vesdre, in Liege province. These
barrels are for sporting guns, and the

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
Topic For the Week Beginning June FL.

Iop'c TOT the week Bektnning June xI.
Comment by Rev. =. II. Doyle.
ToPIo.-s)oubts and difficulties.-Ps. ri. liz.
"a question box meeting suggested.)
This psalm may be divided into two
parasitic first (verses l-l0) dealing
with former difficulty and how relief
came from God in il, and the second
oversees HID IA cry and IA prayer for
deliverance from fresh calamities that
have come upon the writer. The expert
ence Of the psalmist in both instances,
and particularly in the first, sets forth
doubts and perplexities from which we
may be delivered in all their phases.
What may be said Of doubts may also
be said of difficulties.
/. DouSss and Difficulties. The best
Of Christians meet doubts and difficult
ties in their Christian experience. The
palmist here had evidently fallen into
the slough of despond. He had been in
pit of destruction, in a swamp of miry
clay, where he would experience the
horror Of realizing that he was sinking,
and yet could not stay his downward
course because there was no solid foot
|
ical sickness, of no persecution by ene-
mics, and therefore we may conclude
that his trouble was mental and spir-
itual, some doubt or perplexity that
had taken possession of his mind con-
corning his spiritual condition or con-
corning the things that involved his
spiritual blessedness. All Christians
may meet these times of doubt and de-
spondency. They may come from trou-
BILE, from disappointment, from inabil-
ity to understand all we would like to
understand concerning God and the fu-
ture life, from failure TO be faithful and
true To God.
2. The Remedy For Doubts and Diff
culties. The psalmist sets before us the
only true remedy: In each case he wait
ed upon the Lord. he prayed to God.
II waited patiently or surely upon the
Lord, and He inclined unto me and
heard my cry" Thus he did his part,
and then God did His, for next he says,
HE brought me up also out Of hor-
rible pit, out of miry swamp and set
my feet upon a rock and established my
goings, and He hath put a new song in
my mouth" God is the only remedy for
doubts and perplexities. If we wait upon
Him, if we cry unto Him, He will hear
us and answer US by removing the diff
Guilty from us or by giving us grace to
endure it. If we trust in God in time Of
doubt and dependency and come to
Him, He will place us upon the rock,
Christ Jesus, and instead of dependency
and despair there will be songs of JOY
in the heart and on our tongues.
If doubts come, let us trust God and
act as if there were no doubts. Obedi-
ence brings assurance. IF any man
will do His will, he shall know of the
doctrine whether it be of God"

The Dog That Got the Ducks.

A good story is told Of hunters from
Washington who went to the coast of
North Carolina to shoot ducks.
There were six men in the party,
and they had three dogs with them.
They hunted in couples, each two hav-
ing dog. Shooting was good, and from
each of the six couples the sound of
guns being fired notified their friends
of their success, for they We're only a
short distance apart.
Each couple was somewhat indig-
nant, because whenever duck fell their
own dog failed to get it, one dog SEE m
ing to secure almost every one Of the
wild fowl.
At luncheon time they all came to-
gether.
"Well what luck?' was the general
greeting
Elegant, but your dog got our
ducks was the universal response.
Then they looked at each other,
while from out the little bay glided a
skiff loaded with ducks, in the forward
end Of which sat the dog which had
gathered them in. Washington star.

Napolson's Ink Wiper.

Napoleon was hero to his valet,
Constant. though he sadly marred the
servants effort to dress him neatly.
Says the valet;
Ills breeches were always of white
cashmere. But two hours after leaving
his chamber it often happened that they
were all spotted with ink, thanks to his
habit of wiping his pen on them and
shaking ink all around him by striking
his pen against the table.
However, us he dressed in the morn
ing for the whole day he did not change
his toilet on that account, but remained
i'm this state until night.
The whole inside Of his boots was
lined with white fustian. Whenever one
of his legs itched, ne rubbed it with the
heel of the boot or shoe with which the
other leg was shod, thus heightening
the effect of the spilled ink.

improvements to BE Made
Contestants VIII Have More Tim.
for Practice Sports Likely 10
Be at Calumet.

Thisyear there will be an Improvement
IN one OF the arrangements for the inter.
association field day over last year. This
will be in the deciding upon the order m
which the events will come on the pro.
gram a long time before the date of the
field day. The committees from each AZ
ISOLATION will meet in few days and will
arrange and publish the program and its
order will be strictly adhered to. This
will enable contestants to pick out those
events in which they will enter and train
Tor them. Heretofore the program has
not been arranged until short time be-
fore the field day, and in consequence
those who have entered for several events
find that their events came too close to.
gether for them to successfully compete
and have to drop out OF some of them.
The training which they haye put upon
those events, in which finally they cannot
compete in, is therefore wasted, or il not
entirely, might have been more profit
able put on other events had the ath-
letes known just what they could enter
into. For instance, a man may enter tor
all the sprints and some OF the Jumps.
and then find that the efforts he pu' 3
forth in one OF them Injuries his chanc, 8
in another, because it comes too closely
after. by knowing the order in which
competitions will come the athlete may
80 pick his entries that he may come up
to the scratch in each, with a chance to
do all there is in him. This will also
please the audience, which likes to see all
the men entered and whose names ap-
pear on the program compete IN the
event. The date of the inter-association
field day is September Z, Labor day.
The town IN which the event will take
place will be decided at the meeting of
the county committee. The Calumet
Association will demand it, and if the
new bicycle track there proves satisiac-
tory, the field day will probably go there.

There was an amateur theatrical per-

able mansion on Austin avenue. Gus
De Smith was engaged to play the
Ghost in Hamlet.
'Now, Gus" said the manager, "all
in the world you have to do is to come
in and say, i am thy fathers ghost, '
and you must do it in deep, sonorous
voice.
Gus said he wanted some hard part
where he might have chance to spread
himself, but finally agreed to do as he
was told.
When the Ghosts turn came, he
spoiled the tragic effect of the whole
performance by saying, II am thy ia
