HiVha the NatiSidl REVIEW.
When a man is in the excited stage of al
coholism-that is. has had a quantity OF al
cohoa sufficient. not to make him drunk
but to stimulate the processes of his
thcught-we find him talking rapidly and
wildly, and. If We are ourselves the man.
we find ourselves thinking in pictures with
very great rapidly: that is. each thought
or mental picture leads instantly to anoth-
er. But we know this to be morbid and the
result of alcohol poisoning. And We know
1t to be disastrous to the brain to repeat
this process often. We know further that
the same thing may occur without the al
coholic poison.
In persons of a certain temperament
called sensitive or emotional any little dis
turbaalce in circumstance or chance word
Will In the same way set the mind off, rat
Ting 1t; 1T may happen even without any
marked cause at all. Such a one will, in
body, compose himself to sleep. in bed, but
that Is not what his mind is proposing. 1t
passes from thought to thought from
and at last the very possibility of sleep de-
parts. By morning the weared brain is
unable either to think of anything or not to
think or everything, and two more such
nights would mean insanity or aploplexy.
This form of wear and tear OF brain. like
the alcoholic, Is morbid No one would de-

treme degree Of that utter uncontrol and
characterization of thought of which every
one of us in lesser degree guilty. and as
in this form the brain may be destroyed
unless help comes in a few days, SO i'm the
course of years We perhaps all destroy our
brains and die prematurely from useless
wear and tear, due to unconcentratel
wandering weakness of thought.

The Erratlc Needle.

From the Boston Traveller.
One Of Russia's innumerab BILE mysteries
is the erratic behavior Of the magnetic
needle in many parts Of the great empire.
The compass Is freaky enough anywhere,
but it seems to take a particular delight
In refusing to point north for the subjects
of the car. French and Russian scientists
have recently been investigating this SUBJ
ject on the vast central plain between Mos
COW and Barakov.
The greatest alterations were found in
the province OF Kursk, the capital town of
which Is some GOO miles almost due south
of Moscow. In the northern part of the
province, near Tim, the needle defects
twenty degrees, farther south, in the prov
ince OF Staraoi Oskol up to thirty degrees,
while In the southeast of the province
about $50 miles south of Tim the DETECTION
Is over ninety-six degrees, the needle stand
ing almost perpendicular and pointing near
er east and west than north and south.
This reversal of the magnetic forces may
have some curious effects. A number of
new railways are building in that region
and the engineers are interested in finding
out whether the durability OF their lines
Will sustain the long accepted theory that
those rails last best which are parallel
with the magnetic meridians. AS these run
east and west over a considerable part of
Russia, 1t will be the north and south lines
that first show signs of wear. whereas such
lines in other countries are the more easily
maintained in repair.

The Southerner of Today.

W. P. Trent in the Atlantic Monthly.
No teacher who has been brought into
contact with students drawn from most Of
the southern states can fail to conclude
that they are in the main a remarkably
fins body Of young men. In essential charm
of manners they are not inferior to their
grandfathers; in morals they are. on an
average, distinctly better In some import
ant respects, certain vices being now more
frowned upon than was the case fifty years
ago: in knowledge of the world and in in
tellectual curiosity they are plainly SUI
perior; in sheer mental power they are not
inferior, at least: and in genial kindness
and bonhomie, and in that indefinable but
supreme quality, manliness, they are cap
able OF holding their own with the youth
of any land and Of any age. More high
seriousness OF purpose might be desired for
them, and a better comprehension OF the
Importance OF the intellectual side of our
nature, but being southern boys. they have
the defects of their own and of their pro-
genitors qualities. Still, when all is said,
they impress any fair judge as being Just
the stun out OF which a great civilization
ought to be evolved. They are as good
Americans, IN the true sense of that term
as are to be found in any section OF the
Union; they have inherited the best quail
tiles Of their ancestors; they are free from
the clogs of slavery: and II they have yet
to struggls against political and religious
intolerance. they will surely emerge the
stronger for the contest.

CLAY PIPES.
The Largest Factory In the World
How 1t Was Started.

The Largest Factory In the World
How 1t Was Started.
From the Richmond Dispatch
The largest tobacco-pipe factory in the
world is located in Appoma ttox county
near Pamplin City.
This Is in itself an interesting fact, and
one not generally known, but the manner
in which the factory came to be Iocata I'd in
Appomattox is of even greater interest
1t had been known for many years prior
to the war between the states that there
existed clay in that county well adapted to
the manufacture of tobacco pipes, but the
Industry was carried on in the most de-
sultery way. Sometimes negro at odd
times would fashion a few rude pipes and
sell them In the neighborhcod, generally at
thu country store. receiving IN exchange
such articles as he coveted most and were
within the reach OF the very moderate
means derived from the sale of his handi-
work.
But at the close of the war thu whites
turned their attention to the clay deposits
l: was necessity. and not matter Of
choice.
The war had swept away everything. The
implements with which the pipes were
manufactured were simple and rude, and it
must be confessed that the article which
they fabricated did not bear the closest pos
sibie resemblance to those turned out by
The pipes were sold to local merchants,
who shipped them to Wholesale dealers in
northern cities, who sold them to retailers
throughcut the country.
And now comss the part of the story that
sounds rather romantic, though It is every
word true.
Among the retail dealers who purchased
lot OF these poor mems pipes was n
Yroceryman In a little townSm Ohio. He
sold them at from 2 to 5 cents epiecs. and
found them very popular.
Among those who purchased ore was
wealthy citizen of the town, who was led
to do SO by less wealthy neighbor, who
had found them sweet smokers. The cap-
italist was delighted. He SMOKED nothing
else for some time, and finally inquired Of
the groceryman as to where the pipes were
made. The latter could only give the name
OF the WholesaH dealer from Whom he had
purchased, but from him tbs gentleman
learned that the pipes were made from a
clay bank In the county Of Appomattox, in
Virginia.
Tho gentleman saw that the pipes were
OF very rude construction. He saw also
that were proper machinery used they
could be turned out with great rapidity and
that q profit could be made at selling them
at penny apiece. He was growing inter-
ested, and finally his mind dwelt SO much
upon the subject that he came over to Yir-
glnia, and to the little town OF Appomat-
tox. He went at once to the store OF the
dealer In pipes. and was not long in find.
about eight miles away. at what Il now
Pamplin City.
The rest Is soon told. The land was pur-
chased for a small sum, buildings erected,
the latest machinery Installed and coon the
k1tns wera smoking.

Paper cartrlsgc. Used in Civil War.

From the New Londoro( Conn., Day.
A New London man made an interesting
discovery the other day. While rurnmasine
in the garnet Of his house he picked up an
old army knapsack carried by his brother
in the federal army In the dark days Of
81 to '65. He opened the knapsack and
found within quite q number Of wartime
cartridges, which. as all veterans know.
are quito different from those now In use.
They are paper cartridges. the end OF which
had to be bitten on by the man in the
ranks before loading his musket. A Day
reporter showed the cartridges to several
army veterans. and their eyes blaxed at the
sight. They acted like they had just been
introduced to an old friend whom they had
not seen for many years. One OF the ex-
soldiers said the commands for loading in
the days OF the war were as follows:
Handle cartridge, tear cartridge, charge
cartridge. draw hammer. ram cartridge. re-
turn rammer. prime. ready, aim. fire." At
