committee. All this was arranged at

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1896-03-18
What Is Fatigue?

Fatigue is the natural result of labor,
and as such is a periodic symptom with
which every healthy person is familiar.
It is one of the laws of organic life
that periods of relaxation shall succeed
periods Of activity. The heart itself is
normally in repose for about one-third
of the time consumed by each beat-a
fact in which there is something par
ticularly suggestive and interesting,
since psychologists agree that about one
third of the "a hours should be devoted
to sleep.
Life is made up of a series of vibra-
tions in which tension and rest succeed
each other. The heart vibrates about 70
times minute; the vibrations of the
respiratory organs occur about 16 times
i'll the same period, while the vibrations
Of the whole organism may be said to
complete their cycle once in "a hours.
Abnormal fatigue, state approaching
exhaustion, occurs when one attempts to
alter natures rhythm, when the hours
OF tension are made to encroach upon
those which should be devoted to rest,
when muscle and nerve already fatigued
are driven to further exertion. Fatigue
Of q kind known as entertaining re-
suits, in the case of the athlete, in heart
weakness and shortness of breath-'l loss
of wind, - as it is called-while the long
continued fatigue occasioned by excess
i've application to professional or bust
ness pursuits results in nervous prostra-
| ton or even in Daralvsis
While excessive fatigue is in itself IN
wise, one of the chief dangers which re.
suits from it is that commonly indicated
by the term catching cold.'' Thus the
danger of sitting in draft or on the
damp ground is many times doubled
after great exertion. The application of
heat to the surface is more logical pro-
cedure after extreme fatigue
Loss of sleep is one of the first sypm-
toms of abnormal fatigue. Habitual in
somnia from this cause is to be treated
only in one way, by absolute rest. -

Pronunciation of Deaf.

J. W. asks this question: "Is the
pronunciation of deaf as def due to
any other cause than Anglomania?
Forty years ago, and even less, the
common pronunciation in this country
was 'deef. Webster's Dictionary of
1856 confirms this statement, and men
lions that def is common in England.
The same dictionary refers to the rhymes
Of Chaucer and Watts to show that the
early pronunciation was 'deef' in Eng
land Also
The new English dictionary, edited
by j. A. Fl. Murray, thus treats of the
pronunciation of deaf ("def'): "The
original diphthong remains in northern
dialects. In standard English the vowel
was long until the modern period, and
SO late as TITS, it was rhymed with
relief, by Prior and Watts. The pro-
nunciation ('dif,' with 81 long,) is
still widely diffused dialectically, and
in the United States In many English
dialects the ea is still diphthongal,

ACTRESSES OFF THE STAGE.

Comments of One of Their Sex Upon Their
Dress and Behavior.
dressed like an actress is the slur
we often hear cast by woman on a
badly dressed member Of her own SEX
Men and women alike are too apt to
form their opinions of every one and ev-
erythlng by the more conspicuous in
stead of by the better side. If we stop
to look at the women on our New York
stage today, we shall be forced to real
lze that, as is the case in every other
sphere Of life, there are women who
dress we'll and others who dress badly.
'SThe Broadway freak is the standard
from which outsiders often judge wom-
en- of the stage. This type Of ''actress"
seems to court notoriety by her ridicu-
lousy exaggerated dress, bleached hair
and rouged face. Outsiders are so ignor
rant Of stage people that they are often
surprised to see their favorites appear in
quiet costume on the street. Again,
actresses are not callous, though some
times young people seem to think SO,
judging by the loud way they make
their comments at seeing public person
on the street. One day, Miss George
Cayvan, dressed in her usual quiet way,
was sitting in corner of street car,
while some young girls were excitedly
arguing as to whether or not it was Miss
Cayvan. Naturally annoyed. Miss Cay
van bit her lip, and one of them ex-
claimed, 'That is Miss Cayvan; that is
just the way she bites her lip Miss
Cayvan is only one of our many actresses
who dress as lady should on the street.
Miss Maud Adams appears on the
stage in snowy costumes, while on the
street, unless very familiar with her
face, one would think her a pretty
schoolgirl, who had been carefully taught
refinement Of manner and DRESS Miss
Viola Allen, in her neat street gowns,
passes by one SO quietly that it is not
easy to recognize the clever leading lady
at the Empire. Miss Bessie Tyree al
ways dresses in refined taste. Her gowns
fit her to perfection, and are thoroughly
correct.
- Mrs Kendall is about the best dressed
English actress we know here. The ''city
of fogs' has yet more to learn from her
gay sister over the channel One might
wish that Miss Isabel Irving would be a
little more smart in her dress, and that
Miss Katherine Florence would put up
that pretty hair. Miss Elsie de Wolfe,
when dressed for reception, almost
surpasses her own handsome stage Co.'S
tunes. Miss Rehan looks rather we'll off
the stage, even if her chin is a little
high in the all. Miss Maxine Elliott and
her pretty gowns make puzzle as to
which is the prettier, the actress or the
dress. Who has seen Miss Julia Mar
lowe, Mrs. Whiffen, Mrs. Walcot or
Miss Gladys Wallis without learning a
lesson in taste from her appearance
