FOOD mi INSANITY.


Poor Nutrition - . Factor In Mental
wsaknosa
Dr.. C. G. Hill in Baltimore Sun: More
and more expert opinion is leaning to
the idea that insanity need not always
be a purely mental disease, but that i'm
rurities of the blood have a powerful
effect upon the ~psychical being. There
are two effective agents in bringing
about a physical condition that invites
insanity. One is overlooking and the
other undertaking. Overlooking has
wrecked more constitutions and minds
than the great majority Of persons
have any idea. The name Of the evils
that follow in its train is legion. All
the proper functions of the body are
thrown out of gear, diseases of vital
organs and of the blood are invited,
with their corresponding effect upon
the brain structure. When one reflects
that even the middle classes of today
live better and have Of the con-
veniences Of life than dukes and kings
two centuries ago, it is easy to see the
tendency toward e%nervation. Among

have little to occupy their attention
save eating, reading, gossip and other
engagements. There is no cultivation
of healthy exercise. The men are at a
high mental pressure all the time, with
little physical culture, and find their
chief. relaxation in overindulgence;,
either in eating or drinking OF both.
Men and women are prone to keep late
hours and to seek exciting diversions.
While the physical nature is being
weakened by excuses, the mental ma
ture is kept aflame with excitement,
and the frequent result Of the combina-
ton is some form of insanity. Under
feeding breaks down the mind and
body in an opposite manner. The It's
sues are not n%ourished, the vital forces
not properly maintained, and the
weakening physical man is attended In
his de~teriorating stages by the weak
ening mental The social and In
dustrial conditions of today are rapidly
dividing humanity into two great
classes-extremes-fn which insanity
finds a ready foothold for the reasons
given.

Government Industry in South Carolina
a Big Success.

Tea gardens in the United States
are now an accomplished fact, for,
after many experiments, it has been
amply demonstrated that tea can be
grown at a profit. The department of
agriculture has made careful inquiry
and examination into this industry, as
proved by DR.. C. U. Shepard on his
Tinehurst plantation in South Carolina,
II now believes that tea can be
grown at a fair profit in many of the
cotton-producing states. From these
successful experiments it also believes
that within fifteen years there will be
hundreds of tea Plantations scattered
through the cotton belt.
The estate of Pinehurst, where these
experiments have been made, comprises
about seven hundred acres. The sur
face throughout is gently undulating,
and the soil mainly a sandy loan. In
some of the lower parts it is composed
OF a certain amount Of peaty matter,
but these portions are confined to small
areas. The domain is we'll supplied
with belts and groups of natural tree
growth, among which the southern, or
long-,eafed, pine (pinus palustris)
abcunds. 1t should be understood that
in all tea-growing countries the plan
tations are called tea gardens. Whether
sne area under cultivation is one acre
or 600 acres, it is recognized as a gar
den. and in ali features Of the industry
this appellation is employed.
Dr. Shepard has tea gardens planted
On different sites. This is for the pur-
pose of experiment with varied as
poets and varied conditions. Some of
the gardens are producing, others are
set out with young plants and others
are in the experiment stage. The first
experiments were such failures that
DIR. Shepard thought seriously of aban-
doning the work. The plants were
no hardy enough for this climate.
Seeds of a harder variety were Sc
cured and later experiments were sue
cessful. One of the Pinehurst gardens
is producing an average of five ounces
of tea to the plant, which equals the
sCeylon and Indian average, and is
double that of the Chinese and jap
anese plants. "A prominent tea grower
of Ceylon. who visited Pinehurst, pro-
nounced the tea grown here equal to
any in the world. One attraction for
visitors to the Pinehurst gardens is
the foliage, which is a deep, velvety
green.
One of the first problems to be solved
in promoting this industry was that of
. growing tea in a district which has a
yearly rainfall of fifty-six inches, while
Asiatic authorities claim that it should
not be less than eighty to one hundred
inches. Some of the best tea districts
have sne Hundred and twenty inches of
yearly rainfall. Again, it was found

eight times more to pick one pound of
tea in South Carolina than the prices
paid for the same service in Asia. This
is the most serious consideration that
presents itself to the tea growers.
DR.. Shepard soon found himself face
to face with this problem. His tea
gardens not being Of suficient area to
employ a constant force, in the gather
ing of the first flush, he would obtain
any week all the pickers required, but
when the mex flush became due he
would find his former pickers scattered
and unobtainable just when most need
ed. In this way his operations were so
embarrassed as to entail loss, for it

Tho Proper sphere Of Mathematics.

The Proper Sphere Of Mathematics.
In a review OF Prof. Perry's "steam
Engine and Oil and Gas Engines" the
Engineer says the professor is one Of
the cleverest and most accurate Of
modern mathematicians. He has con-
sistently preached and practiced the
doctrine that truth is not pumped from
any mathematical well, but can only
be won by quarrying the rocks OF
physical nature with the tools of direct
observation. Make sure Of your facts
first, and then use mathematics as a
servant to dust and sort them out, and
put, them away each in its proper
pigeon-hole, but do not let mathemat-
les become the master to ride away
with the Imagination and train 1t into
belief. The best books on physics are
those through whose pages there runa
the smallest stream Of equations.
