The frequent cases Of nervous prOstra-
tion or utter collapse of the nervous
system under which women go all to
pieces" as the saying is. have caused
much thought and investigation on the
part Of physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are we'll
known to cause various forms of nerv-
GUS diseases which are readily traced
to the poisons producing them. Furth-
or research leads to the belief that
alum is a prevailing cause of so-called
nervous prostration. for the symptoms
it produces on the nervous system after
its absorption into the blood are very
remarkable indeed. Experiments phys
iolOgically made upon animals by
Orfila, Professors Hans Mayer Paul
Seim and others, show that alum fIe--
quently produces no visible symptoms
for many days after its introduction
into the body. Then follows loss of
appetite and other alimentaTy disturb
ances. and finally serious prostration
Of the whole nervous system. The
most prominent physicians now believe,
that nervous prostration" and many
affections of the nerves from which
both men and women suffer are caused
by the continued absorption of alum
into the system.
1t is probable that many medical
men are unaware of the extent to-
which salts of alumina may be intro
duced into the body, being under the
impression that the use of alum in,
bread is prohibited. Alum, however,.
IS still used uueptitiously to some ex-
tent to whiten bread. and very largely
in making cheap kinds of baking pow
der. In families where baking powder
is generally used great care should be,
exercised to procure only those brands
made from cream of tartar. The alum.
powders may be distinguished by the,
lower price at which they are sold

A Rlack Tnrninn Nhite

Two years ago an Austrian merchant
who had been on a business trip to AZ
RIGA, brought back with him from Egypt
lbual Lacho, a Soudanese negro, aged
nineteen years. Speedily acclimated,
the black immigrant soon learned the
German dialect of the Viennese and
surprised them by his clever manners
and the elegant dress he displayed in
the cafes and upon the promenade"
During the last autumn he became af-
fected by nervous troubles, which n
famous neuropathist of Vienna sub.
iected to electrical treatment. Ibual
Lacho's condition began to improve
from day to day, and, strange to relate
in the same proportion as the disease
seemed to leave him there disappeared
the black dye of his skin. Paler and
paler he grew, until through the stages

ton of his patient from a process by
which the black pigment in his skin
was disintegrated and finally eliminat-
ed through electricity. This chief col
oring matter, melanin, of pigmentum
nigrum, found in the eye, the hair and
the skin, contains iron, and strongly
reacts upon electric application.-Yie

Roller Yachting.

Save during the rainy season Lake
LEROY, in Western Australia, is quite
dry. But as the water evaporates as
the hot weather approaches a smooth,
CLASSY floor of crystalline salt is de-
posted. Those living on the shores
have found a means Of utilizing this.
All boats which sail on the lake when
possible are. during the dry season,
fitted with four wheels, and thus are
enabled to continue their travels. As
Lake LEROY has an area of over 100
miles, and the surrounding country is
extremely rough, this means a great
saving in expense, labor and time. The
speed attained by these wheeled yachts
is very considerable. though not quite
equal to the pace of the ice yachts SO
popular in Canada.

Hop Creek, in birmingham, among
the Berkshire hills, is little trout
stream that has become famous. Gro
yer Cleveland, former President of the
United States, chose to 90 fishing in
Hop creek. ALFRED In brown canvas

This is how it all happened. Through
his wife Mr.. Cleveland is kinsfolk with
Richard Watson Glider, the poet-editor
Of the Century magazine. Mr.. Glider
has a modest little cottage mt Tyring-

Its trout streams and quail and part

angling had selected Hop creek, the

The greatest col0nizing nation IN the
