Feb. II, 1897.
We are glad to have the public mind
exercise itself on the problem Of how
to utilize the market house property.
but we think it doubtful if the sugges-
ton of our correspondent could be car
ried out with satisfaction to the CITY
or the promoters. There are very few
cities in the country where a perma-
nent exposition is a success, and none
that we know Of of the size of st. Paul.
To fit the building for that purpose
would require extensive and costly al
terations, and we doubt If local manu-
facturers would go to the expense Of
leasing the buildings and making an ex-
hibition Of their products. If they
would. we should be very glad to see
it tried. The experience of MINNEAPOLIS
in this line, however, is not encourage
ing. The citizens there subscribed a.
large amount Of money to put up a
commodious and suitable exposition
building, and the large manufacturing
industries centered in that city made
huge efforts to sustain it. The public
interest declined after two or three
years. the exposition became a failure.
and the building itself was finally sold
for song. In the present condition Of
business we doubt If the exposition
plan could be applied to the market
house property.

It's central location would make it a splen-

quency of nervous disease among
women. Farmers are rarely affected
with nervousness. Farmers wives
are almost proverbially so affected.
Loss of sleep, indigestion, grief or
worry, and many other functional
causes may produce nervousness.
Doubtless the most frequent cause ia
lack of sufficient out of door air and
Of moderate exercise.
It is too common for nervous people
to think their complaint too trivial for
a physicians notice. Strict inquiry as
to the manner of life often. reveals
errors the correction of which relieves
the condition and averts serious dis
ease.
"Overwork does not kill, but over
worry does," some one has said, with
measure of exaggeration. Excessive
work may no doubt shorten life, but
constant worry over everyday cares
is sure to do 80.
Ceaseless cares exhaust the nervous
energy. Change of occupation and
of scene allows the nervous forces
the cerebral gray matter-to become
restocked. Nervous matter is actually
consumed in performing the details
of everyday existence, just as muscu-
lar tissue is expended in exercise,
A spring kept at constant tension
surely loses its elasticity, while one
which is frequently unbent does not.
The figure is a good one to apply to

NERVOUSNESS.

Nervousness is condition not easy
to define; but the common use of the
term in everyday speech indicates the
commonness of the thing itself. There
are few persons, indeed, who have not
at some time suffered from irritability
of the nerves and its accompanying
depression.
1t is to be remembered that this
state always indicates a falling away
from the normal standard of health.
It should be taken as a danger-signal,
notice from the nerves that some
thing is wrong. The cause of the
trouble is sometimes easily found, as
for example, temporary or habitual
loss of sleep; or the difficulty may be
more deeply seated and more serious.
Whatever its cause, nervousness in
dicates lack of nervous force, low
ering of vital energy. Somewhere q
tap is loose, and waste is proceeding
more rapidly than repair. In such a
state of things, the performance OF
every voluntary action and of every
unconscious organic function is affect
ed unfavorably.
Women suffer from nervousness
more commonly than men. 1t is q
mistake, however, to think that there

HE FELL AMONG BORROWERS.

According to the Sheridan (Oregon)
Sun, there is schoolmaster in that
state who has had enough of boarding
with people who treat him as zone
of the family" He wishes to main
tain brotherly spirit, but says that
there are certain personal effects,
properly socalled, which he prefers to
neither borrow nor lend. Let us hope
that The Sun exaggerates the story
of his Affections.
He was boarding around, and in the
course of his peregrinations arrived at
a house where there were several
grown-up sons and daughters. He
was taken at once into intimate fel-
lowship.
On the second morning William, one
of the boys, came into the new board
er's room and borrowed his tooth
brush. The schoolmaster demurred
and went so far as to enter into par
ticulars about microbes and microbic
infection but William took the brush
"I amt afraid to use it after you
if you amt after me-" he said.
The next evening Samuel, another
son, borrowed the masters best white
shirt to wear to a dance and Maria,
one of the daughters, while trying to
extract some of his perfumery, spilled
the greater part of it upon her clothes
So matters went on, with increasing
friendliness, and when the teacher

COUNTY PHYSICIAN MATTER.
TO BE CONTINUED.
A Taxpayer Thinks the Commissioners
Should Make an Explanation.

A Taxpayer Thinks the Commissioners
Should Make an Explanation.
Editor of The Yorkville Enquirer:
AS a public Office is public trust,
it naturally follows that every tax
payer has the right, legal and moral
to criticise each and every official act
of our public servants. And this re-
minds us that we have word to say
with regard to the recent action, of our
county commissioners with regard to
awarding the county practice to Dr.
Saye.
Now, we admit that DR.. Saye had a
perfect right to submit bid for the
fc6unty practice. That was his priv
ilege-nothing wrong about that. But
his bid should not have been accepted.
Why? Chiefly because of question
of distance-a distance that will lend
no enchantment to the view of the
suffering poor in need of physician.
From Yorkville to Sharon is perhaps
7 miles by dirt road. From Sharon to
the County Home is something like 8
miles.
Now let us suppose a Casa per-
fectly reasonable one-and justified by
the facts. An inmate of the poor
house takes sick and it is thought
necessary to summon the county ply
sician. 1t is now o'clock p. m. An
official writes letter to the physician
requesting his presence, goes to York
vile and mails it. IF there is no de-
lay the letter will reach Sharon the
next evening at $40. And when the
letter does reach Sharon the chances
are that DR.. Saye, who has the reputa-
ton of being an excellent physician
with large practice, will be six or
eight miles away. In the meantime
the poorhouse patient may suffer, die
and be buried, "unwept, unhonored
and unsung." If patient happens to
need the services of surgeon, be (or
she) will have ample time to bleed to
death drop by drop before the doctor
can get summons.
Perhaps the commissioners will at
tempt to justify their action on the
ground of economy. If 80, we would
beg to remind them that there is such
thing as being "penny wise and
pound foolish" There is such thing
az false economy. We don't think the
average taxpayer will expect you to
practice such economy (O as you have
recently shown in dealing with the
physical well-being of wretched and
helpless creatures locked behind iron
bars and those other equally wretched
paupers who, except for public charity,
are poor and friendless and miserable.

The good woman spent her opinion
once too often. 1t happened to be where
Jack Talbot heard her. He flung up bis
head and said pointedly:
II don't think Rob sets up for pat
tern of all the virtues, but I know she
is above gossiping with servants about
her neighbors' affairs. As to her truth
Efulness, I'd take her word for gospel.

knew her to vary an inch from it, ex-
cept to her poor old father. Truth would
be only torture to him. I'd feel like
shooting the man that told it. Rob SIM
ply could not lie maliciously or falsely,
but am sure she could and would keep
silence if she knew anything that would
wound another person in feeling or in
reputation. "
Rob felt the attitude Of her public,
but never spoke Of it, not even to Jack.
She knew how slight was her fathers
hold on life. 1t might snap any day. At
the best the end was not far. And to
his last hour she would ease and spare
him all she might. He was her world

strength and light Of love she could
stand blameless before a multitude OF

FIGHTING A BEAR WITH FIRE.

Not long ago an English hunter and
prospector in the mountains OF Ne
vada, being out without gun, was at
tackled by a hungry grizzly, and took
refuge on the top of boulder. The
stone was too smooth for the bear to
climb, and just large enough so that he
could not reach the man.
The boulder was narrow, and rested
on soft earth. The Englishman real
lied the desperateness of his situation,
therefore, when presently he felt the
stone begin to shake. The furious an
imal was digging at the ground at one
side of the boulder, and either as the
result of his intelligence or of the e1-
ercise of blind fury, was undermining
the rock. The man sew that he must
soon be precipitated into the BEARS
clutches. :.
What should he do? With nervous
and desperate eagerness, he fumbled in
his pockets to see what he had. He
discovered bottle of brandy that he
carried for restorative purposes in case
of accident. Would not the fumes of
this liquor, poured on the bear, terrify
him and possibly drive him awayP
He resolved to try it.
He emptied about half the. brandy on
the bear and on the ground at the
place where the creature was digging.
The bear shifted, and seemed to like 1t.
Pausing only a moment, he went on
digging more briskly than ever. 1t
was plain that this means of defence
was u failure. The man fumbled
in his pockets again, and this time
brought out some matches. Handling
them nervously, he wondered what he
could do to the bear with them. Sud-
denly an idea occurred to him.
He had half the brandy left. Why
not pour it on the bear, and see II he
could set it on fire? Itwas slender
chance, but the only one. He watch
ed for the right opportunity, and spill
ed the liquor on the grizzly's shaggy
back.
Of course the bear did not mind
this, butkept on undermining the rock.
In another. moment he did mind some
thing, however, for the man dropped
lighted match on the brandy.
The brandy caught fire, and the
flames spread. In a moment more,
the bear was enveloped in fire, and
roaring and screaming with pain.
Then he took to flight, the speed with
which he raced over the hills only fam
ming the blaze.
The Englishman was now in full
flight. He took the shortest way back
to his camp, where he found a compan-
ion, and both, armed with rifles, started
out in pursuit of the bear. They soon
found him, seated on the ground and
licking his sides, on which very little
fur remained. He was so much ex-
hausted and 80 badly injured that he
had little fight in him, and was quickly
despatched.

ALCOHOL.

Externally applied, alcohol is an an.
tiseptic and a disinfectant, though it
is principally. used as local irritant
and by allowing it to evaporate, as g
cooling lotion to the skin. If the va
por is confined and penetrates to the
flesh underneath, or if the alcohol is
diligently rubbed into the flesh, it, har
dens it. In this way it is of use in
preventing bed sores and the like.
Spirituous liniments which contain
essential oils and other stimulants art
sometimes applied with friction tc
increase nutrition at the place which
is the seat of outstanding infamma
ton, pain and stiffness, such as is pres
ent in chronic rheumatism, stiff joints
and paralysis.
Internally the action Of alcohol is
both local and general. If allowed to
come directly into contact with tbe
walls of the stomach it irritates them
causing them to assume an infiamed
appearance. If the quantity Of alco'
hol is, large, or more or less continu
ously applied, actual Inflammation Of
the lining of the surface follows.
When alcohol is taken with food
and mixes with the contents of the
stomach, it is partly decomposed into
substances. which in turn decompose
the gastric juices, rendering them inert
and thus depressing digestion. What.
ever may sometimes be said in favor
of the use of stimulants with meals, it
is very doubtful if the slight tempora.
ry stimulating effects of. such drinks is
at all compensatory for their interfer.
ence with the action of the gastric
fluids.
Alcohol enters the blood unchanged,
and is distributed by it to the various
organs and parts of the body, where
it is rapidly absorbed, and where its
action is nearly the same as in the
stomach.
1t first stimulates the organ to in
creased activity, but at the same time
causes the chemical change in the sub,
stance of the organ by which the or
gan itself is weakened so that even.
tually depression ensues.
1t is this peculiar double action OF
alcohol which is misleading. So long
as the organs of the body are in a
healthy condition, alcohol is little
short of poison. The organ, in order
to do its work properly, needs food,
and unless there is interference the
food will be absorbed and changed in
to proper forms of nourishmenL. AL
cohol robs the organ of the power Of
doing this.
In these days of prepared foods and
general advance in science, there are
many ways of securing the only bene-
fetal result which alcohol gives, that
is to say, stimulation, without resorting
to its use.-Youths' Companion.

I6- There is one feature of the SER
vice in the German churches which
people accustomed to the ordinary
churches of the country will notice at'
once. This is the method of contri-
button. In other churches-no matter
of what denomination-the people
contribute more or less as they please /;
perhaps one member of family, per-
haps two, possibly each one, but that
is not usual. In the German church
there is no child so small that it does
not contribute a penny. There may
be many pennies in the plate when
the contribution has been taken, but
each person in the church has given
something.

discovery was made in London during
the trial of man for abusing a horse.
The facts were elected from the en-
ployer of the man who attended the

accused. Twenty-six thousand invalid
omnibus horses in London are absorbed

as beef and retailed throughout Europe
in cans bearing American labels.
