1t is reported that this newlyrcoined
word is already accepted to some ex-
tent in England as the name for "ner-
vous prostration." Our cousins over
there must have use for such word,
and must know how the thing feelsl
Yet it must be admitted that America
takes the lead in this race for death,
for with us the disease is both epidemic
and endemic. If we count all who are
more or less affected d-men, women and
children, including the downright in
sane and all who are chemically "tired"
we must number the victims of ner-
yous prostration by the millions. The
causes are various and obvious. Our
educational processes are pushed rather
hard, with resulting headaches and loss
of sleep. Business men are kept
under strain by competition, and by
their own eagerness to "get on" Politi-
cal questions are exciting, and civic
duties exacting. Earnest people sit up
nights to discuss social problems. Even
our noblest aspirations for knowledge
and excellence crowd US to excess. The
days are never long enough for half we
want to do, to get or to enjoy. And
the peril is not lessened by our trying to
brace our faltering forces or to whip up
our jaded nerves by resort to stimu-
lants. Yet it is not work simply that
is raveling us out. 1t is the way we
take tour medtal attitude toward
life and the world. 1t is fuss and fret,
hurry and work. Both in underworld,
as in overwork, one may allow himself
to be consumed by inward fever. We
need to cultivate serenity, contentment,
"the heart at leisure from itself.' The
secret of gaining "power through re-
pose" is needed not only for recovery,
but for prevention. To spend beyond
our income-thatis is the way to bank.

A strange tale of the sea is contained
in an old logbook owned by United
States CQpmissioner r. II. Folger, of
Massillon, Ohio, and which was recent
ly exhibited there. It relates to the
discovery o. the surviving mutineer of
the Bounty on Pitcairn island. Tbss
was one of the most talked of crimes
on the high seas in-the latter part Of
the eighteenth century. The logbook
is that of the Topaz, commanded by
Capt. Matthew Folger, father of Com
missioner Folger, Under date of Feb.
!, 1903, this entry appears in it: Al 2
o'clock q. m. saw Pitcairn's island, bear

as the island was said to be uninhabit.

went ashore and found an Englishman
named Alexander Smith, the only per-
son remaining out of nine that escaped
on board the ship Bounty. Smith in
formed me that after sending Capt.
Blight adrift, Christian, their chief,
proceeded with the ship to Otaheiti.
There all the mutineers chose to stop,
except Christian, Smith and seven
others, who took wives, and also six
men as servants, and proceeded to Pit.
cairns island, where they ran the
Bounty off shore and broke her up.
This took place in the year 1880. Soon
after one of the party drowned himself,
another died of fever, and after they
had remained about four years on the
island, their men servants rose up and
killed six of the masters, leaving only
Smith alive. However, he and the
widows arose and put all the servants
to death, which left him the only sur
viying man on the island, with eight
or nine women and several small child
rem. He lives very comfortably as
commander -in-chief of Pitcairn's island.

errors of Smith the mutineer, he is at

over and, if possible, put few

HOUSE KEEPING AS A BUSI.
NESS,

Mrs. Laws said, as most of the money
earned by the working men OF this
country is spent for the home and by
the women, they are naturally inter-
estered in the business of house-keep-
ing. More money is spent for food
than for anything else and much is
wasted in the buying of this food, as
the housewife does not know the real
value of the various food stuffs.
We buy by the pound without any
regard for the actual amount OF food
which the pound contains. Some
foods contain much waste and all con-
tain much water. Forinstance, twenty
Eve cents will buy three fourths of
pound actual nutriment in the form OF
meat. while it buys six and fourth
pounds in the form of -four, supposing
that -four costs seven dollars per bar
rel.
Food also has a hygenic value, it is
far cheaper to prevent disease than it
is to cure it. Vegetables and fruits
are Of great value in preserving the
health Of the family, particularly when

FARMERS INSTITUTE
BY Far the Best and Most Salts
factory Ever Held in
this City.
Condensed Review of the Work
i'm the Several De-
partmentS

The State Farmers Institute held at
the Grand opera house on Monday
and Tuesday was great success in
every particular, but the attendance,
good as was, would have been much
larger but for the terrible condition OF
the roads. The mud of last Saturday
had frozen into ruts and bumps until it
was next impossible to drive over
them faster than slow walk.
But the attendance was good, not.
withstanding, and the instructors say
they never had a better or more in
telligent audience.
All who attended are enthusiastic
over the success of the institute, and
declare that its value along practical
lines, is beyond estimate.
The following report of the proceed
ings is only partial-the balance will
be given next week.
For this satisfactory report we are
indebted to the corps of instructors.
