When man is in the excited stage of al
coholism, that is, has had a quantity of al
cohol sufficient, not to make him drunk,
but to stimulate the processes of his
thought. we find him talking rapidly and
wildly, and, if we are ourselves the man,
we find ourselves thinking in pictures
with very great rapidty; that is, each
thought or mental picture leads instantly
to another. But We know this to be NOR
bid, and the result of alcohol poisoning
And we know it to be disastrous to the
brain to repeat this process often. We
know further that the same thing may oc-
cur without the alcoholic poison.
In persons of a certain temperament
called sensitive or emotional, any little dis
turbance In circumstance or chance word
will in the same way set the mind off, rat

marked cause at all. Such one will, in

and at last the very possibility of sleep de-
parts. BY morning the wearied brain is I'M
able either to think Of anything or not TO
think of everything, and two more such
nights would mean insanity or apoplexy.
This form of wear and tear of brain, like
the alcoholic. is morbid. No one would de-
ny that. Yet that is what we all do, in les
ser degree. 1t is an example of an extreme
degree of that utter uncontrol and uncon-
centration of thought of which every one
of us is in lesser degree guilty, and as in
this form the brain may be destroyed I'M

has been a bad one. Theater-goers have
been imposed on by companies sent out by

however, were well patronized, and the
efforts of the local management to secure
them have been appreciated.
