EVILS OF CONTINUED ANXIETY

From the Medical Record.
 Some years ago I collected the statistics regarding the lives of stockholders in a certain city and was surprised to find that nearly every person who lived a sober life and continuously studied the ups and downs of the money market failed either mentally or physically in a short time-less than dozen years, ultimately disappearing from active life. On the other hand, the men who were operators of great skill and cooness and who lived regularly most of the time but occasionally gave way to the drink habit and disappeared several days at a time on account of helpless drunken ness, lived longer and had fewer mental dis orders This, of course, cannot be con strued into an argument in favor of drink ing even occasionally, but was to my mind a very strong indication of the benefit com ing from the occasional complete relaXa- tion from intense mental anxiety. Ere quent vacations passed in the woods or at the seaside without social duties and where temporarily men could resort as nearly as possible to primitive life, even for short periods, would. I am convinced, be much better. Protracted anxiety with out rest breaks more men than does hard intellectual effort.

Prosperous Southern Railroads.

Bradstretts considers the prosperity of southern railroad systems as something really remarkable. It attributes the gains to the large cotton crop and to the develop ment of southern mineral resources. This has resulted in better prices for southern railroad mortgage bonds, and the South en, the Mobile and Ohio and the Louisville and Nashville companies have been placed lieved the Chesapeake and Ohio company will soon pay an initial dividend.
 All southern roads are prosperous, and if the growing crop turns out well there is little doubt that nearly every important system in this section will be restored to the dividend earning list. The latest re- turns from the various systems are very encouraging to all holders of southern rail- road securities, not few of which were purchased by long-headed investors at low rates The recently published report of the Louisville and Nashville company is par ticularly gratifying. and the full figures of the business of the Southern company show what this section is capable of in the way of furnishing business to transportation companies. Southern securities no longer go a-begging. They are beginning to be considered the most stable and trustworthy agricultural and mineral products, and not upon passenger travel, which is proyerb- ially fickle.

 Without jealousy love would be as excit- ing as faxseed poultice that has been used.
 There are mighty few people in the world who consider a lie a lie unless it is de- tectcd.
 There is one thing a woman can keep her mouth shut about, and that's her own lit- tie scandals.
 There is only one thing that makes wo- man madder than having a man not give in to her; it is having him give in to her
 When woman gets to thinking what would happen to her if her husband ceased to love her, she gets most as miserable as thinking what would happen to him if she did not love him.

The Biq Three in Capitol Park.

Capitol Park will not be next Tuesday a stump or hustings in the partizan sense of those words, for the merchants and other business men will be there assembled, and vast number of other people all, or nearly all, more interested in the develop ment of this city and this district than they are in the political fortunes of any man or set of men. Trade instead of party faction should be the keynote of the occasion, and at the risk of seeming ofncious Tho Age Herald begs to suggest some topics suitable to the occasion.
 First of all, let Alabama's great senator set forth the advantages to this state and to the nation as whole of the Nicaragua canal The subject is imperfecty under stood even here where it should be well un- derstood, because it means in this district vast development It means at least 20,- 0OO,O 900 of tons of mined coal a year in- stacks and steel mills than we dare enumer- ate. We believe he should give his entire time in Capitol Park to a presentation of the opportunities that a building of the great work would bring to Alabama, and particularly to this district.
 Governor Johnston would have wide range of subjects to choose from that come home to every citizen-reforms in taxation, in public education, in the keeping of pub lie accounts, in constitutional revision. Throughout his official term he has been strong leader in all these reforms, and no one else can speak as authoritatively and from as full knowledge upon these sub iects which touch all pockets and concern every interest in the state. A comprehen- sive review of the reforms, past, present and to come, that pertain to the trade and the general welfare of the state would be both appropriate to the day and helpful 10 the people.
 Congressman Underwood has two subjects in hand that concern every man. woman and child in this district--an armor-plate plant and the Warrior improvement. His trouble will consist more in the brevity Of time than in the importance and interest of his subjects, but still he will have time enough in which to tell his hearers what has been and can be accomplished, and what they should do towards advancing the two great enterprises that pertain particu- larly to this district, and to the district rep resented by MT. Bankhead.
 Our senior senator, our governor and our representative in the lower house can, in other words, discuss subjects that concern the material wealth and growth and pros perity of this district; and if they will keep in mind the interests of their hearers and of the nature of the celebration, and forget the elections of next year, they will stick to the subjects that relate more to trade than to politics-more to business than to deals and dickers-more to the peoples welfare than to schemes of party managers. It is to be a peoples day, instead of a politi- clans carnival.

He has appointed twenty-one separate commissions, with an aggregate membership of nearly one hundred and an aggregate expense of more than $2,00O.OOO. have had some difficulty in getting the exact expenditures in connection with the commissions resulting directly from the war but inquiry among officials of the de- partments has resulted in these conserva- tive estimates:

CHINESE PAREN TAI AUTHORITY E'rom the North China Herald

UT1T UT
 A remarkable event has occurred at Tsing kiang-pu. A man by the name of King had a son who made his father and mother Hose face because of the wild rakish life he led. He gambled, loafed, smoked opium, etc. If he stole his father would be taken to the yamen and the whole family would suffer for the sons villainy, and the vital question was, How could the family be protected? At last they arrived at the conclusion that the only way to protect the father and mother was to take extreme measures with the son, which they did with a vengeance. The father and uncle took him out among the graves, fol- lowed by a crowd of curious neighbors and friends, and, putting a rope around his neck, each relative pulled on an end, and the son was put beyond running the family in this world.
