MIND AND DISEASE.
Too Much Mental Activity Will KIN
One I'm = Very short
Time.

When man is in the excited stage
of aicoholism--that is, has had q guam
tity of alcohol sufficient, not to make
him drunk, but to stimulate the proc
esses of his thought--we find him talk
ing rapidly and wildly, and if we are
ourselves the man, we find ourselves
thinking III pictures with very great
rapidity-that is, each thought or men.
tai picture leads instantly to another.
But we know this to be morbid and the
result of alcohol poisoning. And we
know it 10 be disastrous to the brain to
repeat this process often. We know
further that the same thing may occur
without the alcoholic poison.
In persons of certain temperament,
called sensitive or emotional, any little
disturbance in circumstance or chance
word will in the same way set the mind
off, rafting it; it 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 memory to
memory, from picture to picture, and at
last the very possibility of sleep departs
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 OF
apoplexy. This form of wear and tear
of brain, like the alcoholic, is morbid.
No one would deny that. Yet that is
what we all do, in lesser degree. 1t is
an example of an extreme degree OF
that utter uncontrol and unconcentra.
ton of thought of which every one Of
us in lesser degree is guilty, and as in
this form the brain may be destroyed
unless help comes in few days, SO in
the course of years we perhaps all de.
stroy our brains and die prematurely
from useless wear and tear, due to un.
concentrated, wandering weakness OF
thought.-National Review.

Far on in March, when the thermome.
ter had long been in the COS, the wind
whipped suddenly into the north, and
the air cooled so degrees in night. We
were in the field, perspiring in linens,
when the change came, with an abrupt
overcasting of the sky. A Whit like the
breath from glacier struck us, the
wind blew each moment keener, and be-
fore we fairly saw how it was our teeth
were chattering. 1t seemed unbelieva.
BILE; but presently there was no doubt
that q January norther was upon us
two months out of season. When we
realized this, we set all hands at work
to earth over the half-grown potato
vines. Only few hours of the day were
left, but the men worked desperately
with hoes and plows through the bleak
twilight, and much was done. But not
all. When we came out, shivering, in
the first daybreak, we saw that our
short harvest was to be lamentabIy
shortened. We perceived now, at last
how it was with us; We were not farm
ing, but gambling with the elements.
The climate had been merely toying
with us, trump card of spring frosts
lying in its sleeve.-F. Whitmore, in At.

ONLY FUNNY TO FOOLS.
How War Appears When Viewed
from Certain Different
Points.

A number of printers, all of whom
were born since the last war, were sit
ting about the office of Secretary
Marsh one day lately when an "extra"
was brought in which indicated that
war with Spain was near at hand.
If we have war it will afford our
navy some good practice-just what it
nceds--and be better than dozen sham
battles" suggested one.
"And Spain will find it quite change
from bull fighting"
II don't believe there will be any
war;" said baseball crank. "Just as
we think everything is all ready you'll
see sign up: No game to-day. Wet
grounds-too sloppy on the Atlantic I"
Il think we'll have to make up purse
for Spain," said the pugilist of the
party. "But if she don't stand up for
four rounds she don't get any of the
receipts"
"You boys are very cunning" said the
veteran Marsh, wheeling about in his
chair. Its easy to see that none Of
you know what war means. I'm older
snan any OF you, and l know. In 1864,
when l was working on the old Tribune,
eight men from that Office enlisted in
the Twenty-fourth Michigan. They
were all fine fellows. the best of the lot.
Six of them never returned. The other
two got back so wasted and changed
that it was hard work to recognize them
and they were carried from the depot
to the hospital on litters. One of
them, Witherspoon, a personal friend of
mine, was shot through the wrist. Both
died. ] saw several regiments leave
here. 1900 to 1900 strong, composed of
the finest young men in the state. I
saw them come back with only 300 to
500 MANNED and broken men-men that
had practically ended their lives. That
is what war is. 1t is only funny to
fools. Chicago Evening News.
