DR.. j. Curtis Webb, an eminent Eng.
lish physician, recently lectured on this
subject. The lecturer said that hysteria
was a symptom of nerve exhaustion and
was a state in which the ideas control
led the body and produced morbid
changes in its functions. If allowed to
go on uninterrupted, nervous exhaustion
and breakdown followed. The seeds of
this really terrible disease were in SO
cases out of 100 sown and watered' dur
ing the period of education and training
of girls at and after critical period of
life Such cases were more frequent
since the introduction of the system of
higher education of women, for the adj
yocates of this made the great mistake
of assuming that there was no real diff
ference between girls and boys between
the ages of IA and 81. He mentioned
the frequent occurrence of cases Of
anema and breakdown among girls and
attributed this to excessive mental work
and the lack of healthy exercise.
He advocated golf, cycling, lawn ten
mis- and other games as a preventive and
corrective and insisted upon the neces-
sity for regular indulgence in physical
exercise. 1t was not work which hurt,
but perseverance in work after nature
had held out her danger signals in the
shape of constant lassitude, loss of ap-
petite and irregularity of functions.
Nervous exhaustion sometimes occurred
as result of excessive physical exer-
else, and among middle aged ladies as a
result of worry. The remedy in the lat
ter case was to live easier and according
to rule. The complaint was also met
with in young children and was in these
cases generally due to the forcing of
mental faculties or constant scolding
and nagging.

Henry George had all the popular
gifts of the American orator and jour
nalist, with something more. Sincerity
rang out of every utterance. Sparing in
book knowledge, he had hammered out
his thoughts upon the forge of personal
experience and showed them hot from
the hammer, rude and unfinished in
form. For this very reason Progress
and Poverty" stumbling block to re-
sponsible politicians, to the economic
professor foolishness, struck the common
mind of the thinking people with con-
yineing and dramatic force. The infiu
ence of this first book of serious eco
homie import which ever reached the
cutter circle of the English reading pub
lie is not to be sighted. 1t is a matter
Of deep significance that such book
should have reached circulation of far
Upward of 100, ZOO copies. Upon the
PRESSURE of the early popularity of his
book Henry George threw the weight of
his present personality, and his great
gifts as orator and debater secured his
Influence and widely advertised his doc
times at time particularly favorable
to their reception.-Fortnightly Re-

Further on. the announcement is ex-
planned as follows:

Park commission aud a very prominent
member of congress.
1t is understood that Mr. Be,knap will

Is Supposed that Mr.. Blknsp wants to

possibly to be here in case war is declared,
and secure good camping ground for the
Michigan state troops"
This announcement came a. something
of surprise to the editor of TIMES, for

and who had previously no idea that con-

HOW LACES ARE NAMED.

Design of Pattern and Locality of Manu-
facture Make the Distinction.
Orlena L. Shackleford, in Centuries
of Lace in The Woman's Home Com
panion, gives these interesting facts ON
lace manufacture:
"The nomenclature of lace is decided
by certain peculiarities of pattern, mesh
or stitches that belong to certain locali-
ties, and it is retained even when the
localities have long ceased to produce
their distinctive fabrications. Valen.
ciennes has not for many years wrought
the laces that bear its name, their man
ufacture having long since been trans
ferred to Ypres, Belgium, while the
chantilly laces are all made at Bayeux.
"The finest French laces are made in
Normandy, the cheaper ones come from
the Auvergne, which was the first
French province to produce pillow lace.
Bayeux, with her tributary surround
ings, is the largest ana best producer Of
black laces. Her chantilly is par ex-
cellence the finest ever made. Caen is
also center for black laces. Normandy
produces good black and white blends.
Guipures are made in the Auvergne but
the finest come from the Vosges. Mire
| court furnishesfinep point and pillow lace.
Brussels furnishes most of the Belgian
| needle points, though east Flanders,
Brabant and Hainault now supply large
quantities. The old laces for which
Binche, Bruges and Flanders were once
SO celebrated are no longer the mode,
though still much priced by connois-
seurs. This is also true Of malines, Or
| mechlin, lace and valenciennes, though
| the latter is returning to favor. Bruges
| makes round mesh valenciennes, not so
beautiful as the lozenge ground, and
coarser qualities come from Courtrai
| and different parts of Flanders. Lille
| and Valenciennes formerly belonged to
the Netherlands, which accounts for
their early proficiency in lacemaking.
Flemish guipures are noted for their
excellence. The Belgian and French
laces are the finest, in point of fabrica-
ton, in the world. Paris is to a large
| extent an emporium for Belgian laces.
She is the birthplace of fashions and
| novelties and dictates lace designs, keep
| ing alive emulation and rewarding merit
| through her Society of Decorative Arts
To France must be accorded the palm
| for black laces, while Belgium may
claim it for the vaporous fineness of her
| points, nothing equaling in ethereal del
| icacy her famous point de gaze.

On looking at the wars which have been
carried on during the last century and ex-
aiming into the causes of them, do not
see one in which, if there had been proper
temper between the parties, the questions
in dispute might not have been settled
without recourse to arms.

Fighting Shy Of the Real Question.
The Washington star seems to think
that an per cent. dividend upon tel
ephone stock after paying besides ex
penses interest on bonds is provoca
ton for demand for cheaper te!e
phone service.
Hardly.
With 100 per- cent. profit up here in i;
years, or 20 per- cent. per an1aum. the
argument is gravely set up that we are
not paying as much for light as some
other people.
This statement satisfies folks who
cannot or do not judge except by
tedious comparisons
Hence, if this town has paid toe
much for gas there is no reason why
it should make the matter worse by
paying a dividend of over 20 per cent
per- annum for cheaper light.
Nor does the comparison furnish
ground for argument why either
monopoly should bind the town hanc
and foot for 5 years when the products
of both are steadily cheapening.
