ASKED TO PUBLISH

form Classification OF Freight Rates
Four Different Systems Now in Use, to
the Confusion of ShipPers-Railroads AS
Well as Boards of Trade Demand the
Change, Which Might Result in a Low
ering of Western Rates.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The committee
on interstate commerce today gave
hearing in the petition Of the National
Board of Trade for legislation requir-
ing the interstate commerce commission
to publish a uniform classification of
freight rates. Z. p. Wilson OF Cincin-
natl, representing the National Board
of Trade; y. G.. Inglehart, chairman and
Elliott Durand, president, of the Chica-
go Freight Buereau; ]. c. Tracey OF
Chicago, representing the National AS
ISOLATION OF Agricultural Implement
Manufacturers, and G. II. D. Johnson
Of the Milwaukee Chamber of Com
merce, appeared in advocacy of the de-
sired legislation, while c. f. Gill, chair
man Of the official classification COM
mission of the railroads east of Chicago,
represented the railroads. The ad-
vocates of the change suggested repre-
sented that there were now four differ
ent systems of freight classifications in
the country, all so different one from
another in essential respects as to cause
much confusion to shippers. They ask
ed for unified system of applying to all
sections of the country and claimed that
the necessity for this change was uni
versaliy recognized by the people at
large and also by almost all the rail-
roads. The interstate commerce com
mission was also quoted a favorably
disposed to the innovation. Mr.. Gill
said that if the petition should be grant
ed it would require important changes
on the part of the roads and that the
adoption Of the plan proposed would re-
suit in increase of eastern rates or
diminution of western rates.

HOW TO KEEP WELL.
Errors Most Commonly Committed at DIFF
ferent Periods of Life.

Health is a comparative term. To
be "well" is to be mot ILL.," that is, not
to be suffering bodily pain or weak
ness, nor debarred from the ordinary
occupations of life by physical inirm-
fly.
Yet everyone however well has, like
Achilles, his vulnerable point; and
everyone, in justice to himself, his fam
Fly and the state, should devote some
portion of his thought and time to
systematic care of his health.
After early childhood the majority
of deaths occur from diseases which
may fairly be called chronic. Many
diseases which are not chronic, in the
strict sense of the word, are grated
upon the system months, and often
years, before they manifest them
selves outwardly.
Many of these troubles are therefore
,reventable, and the manner of pre-
sention is by assuming habits of mod
Grafton in the everyday functions of
life, as well as avoiding all excessively
sxhausting pursuits.
In order that the organs of the body
may last a long time. they must be
properly exercised. For those who are
well, nothing conduces so much to the
continuance of health as busy, active
life intermingled with periods of rec
reation.
If we omit accidental causes of NOR
tally, and acute infectious diseases,
we may say that the disease to be espe-
cially guarded against from an early
age are insidious complaints of the
lungs, heart and kidneys, organs
which are liable to become irrepara-
bly, damaged by daily SHINING against
health.
The errors most commonly commit
ted at different periods of life are those
to be most constantly borne in mind.
To sum up, they are as follows:
In childhood, errors of feeding, inn
proper or improperly administered
food, and irregular hours for feeding
and sleeping.
In adult life, lack of regular exer-
Else, excuses in eating or drinking,
and exclusive devotion to eXacting
cares.
Old age, like early infancy, suffers
most commonly from exposure

TOO MUCH LAUGHTER.
The Curious Case of n Negro Which Is
Now Exciting London's Specialists.

Now Exciting London's Specialists.
A case of insanity of curious sort is
Just now exciting considerable interest
among the medical fraternity of Lon
don. A negro was found the other day
in a gcntlenan's house at Willesden,
and could give no account of himself
because of severe fits of laughter,
which convulsed his frame. He was
taken TO the nearest workhouse, and
ever since then has done nothing but
laugh.
He has not uttered word in the in
rerval, and what is his name or where
he came from is unknown. He laughs
continuously from morning till night,
and at meal-times he swallows his food
like Lightning, in order, apparently,
that he may continue his fit of mirth
with as little interruption as possible.
When he goes to sleep his sides shake
with laughter, and in the morning, the
moment he opens his eyes his capa-
cious mouth opens with loud guffaw.
At first it was thought he had adopt
ed this means to escape from being
tried on the charge of attempted bur
Slary, but physicians who have exam
ined him unite in pronouncing him in
sane, and saying that his cure is doubt
full. The chances are, it seems, that
he will literally laugh himself to death.
This form of insanity, though rare,
IS not unknown to medical science,
though the mania is generally of a
transitory nature. There are several
cases on record of grave personagcs,
Who had rarely been seen to smile,
breaking into habit of uncomfortable
and contagious laughter. DR.. Clouston
tells of solid, prudent business man
who one day startled his family by
fit of laughter, which lasted so long
and was so hilarious that everyone in
the room had to join in.
From time to time after that he
would be seized in the church, in the
train or in the streets, and whenever
he started all who heard him would
have to follow. 1t was the first symp-
tom of mania. Very soon decisions
ond the most outrageous conduct SUI
pervened. and then-the asylum.-N.
