WALL STREET AND LUNACY.
DIR. James L. Walsh says:

Last week in Wall street will cause
many mental failures.
The intense excitement in Wall street
during this last week will probably
shorten the life of every man who mas
been right in 1T by year for every day
of oyerstrain. Besides, not few com
pIete mental breakdowns Will result
from it during the next year. Nature
will stand abuse, but she always de-
mands pay for it. She will lend OF
stored up vitality, but only at high
rate of interest. Her bills may not be
presented at once, though to many she
gives but few days of credit. When
she presents her bill it must be paid
without grace.
It is not in flesh and blood to stand
the strain of the very acme of tense eff
fort, day after day, for week like this
one on the stock exchange. Worry,
not work, kills. Nervous excitement
consumes in few hours more vital en-
ergy than the ordinary processes of ex-
istence in as many months. We have
learned to realize IN recent years all
that nervous over-exertion may mean.
The hair may turn white in night.
Hair is, after all, living structure,
composed, like all our tissues, of living
cells. Other cells may be affected in al
most like manner The hair ages once
for all. Nerve cells, under the strain
of enduring emotion may grow old IN
the same way, never to be young again.
The men who are now among the
most excited workers IN the Wall
street gale should not forget that the
most startling element in the statistics
of our insane asylum during the nine
teenth century was the constant in
crease in the number of patients suffer
ing from paresis.
Paresis means the premature aging
of the nervous system. Tissue changes
take place in the brain of the young
adult which correspond to the changes
that normally occur in the brain
tissues of the old.
Scarcely 10 per cent of the patients
admitted to insane asylums one hun
dred years ago suffered from pare
sis. At the end of the nineteenth CEN
fury paretics, as they are called, formed
more than 30 per cent of the patients
in asylums whose inmates come main
Iy from large towns. Nearly 25 pei
cent of all insane people under treat
ment were suffering from paresis.

AMERICUs, Ca, MAY 10. 1901.
A PERSISTENT PROSECUTOR.

The unrelent1ng course which Ed
ward A. Oudahy is pursuing towards
the kIdnappers of his son is matter
for public congratulation He has now
discountenanced the effect of the ran
SON by refusing to accept the return
of So, 900 of the $25, 900 reward for
the arrest of the criminals, so that his
persistence may cost him large sum
Undoubtedly if he were to look at
the question from the personal and
business standpoint alone he might
find sufficient reason for abandoning
his search. His son is safe and the
kidnappers have had. such a taste
of his quality that they are not likely
to make any more experiments il
his family. At word he can reduce
his financial loss to 81, 900 and save pos
sibly ten times as much. But, as he
himself says, he.is determined not only
to punish the offender for his owr
qualification, but to deter any other
daring gang from compelling other par
ents to undergo what he and his have
suffered. Such a temper in a man OF
his means and energy will certainly
discourage the trade for the benefit Of
the whole community. It helps to EN-.
phasize the significance of that severe
legislation against kidnapping which
is very largely the result of the Cudahy
case. -Ssvannah Press.

RECOGNIZED AT WASHINGTON,

The only instance on record of a
postofice being named after patent
medicine, was last year, when In Wet
Eel County, W. Va, new postoffice
was established and named Kodol, af-
ter the famous Kodol Dyspepsia Cure,
manufactured by E. G. DoWitt & Co,
of Chicago. Tt had given such salts
factory results that the name was I'M
animously selected by the people for
the new Office and adopted by the de-
partment at Washington, D. O. This
action was entirely voluntary on the
part of the people of the community,
without any solicitation whatever
from the manufacturers of Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure. In fact, the first knowl-
edge they obtained regarding the mat
ter was when they received a letter
bearing the post mark ''Kodol, W.
Va, and the contents fully explained
the circumstances. For verifcation
of this statement the reader is referred
to the Postoffice Guide.
A preparation so highly priced by a
community must be worthy of the
greatest confidence.

WHAT IT MEANS TO FARMERS

The increase in the price of corn or
wheat in this country of a few cents
means q great deal to the farmers.
This is a well-knoWn fact, the force
fitness of which was never more
clearly presented than it was rec emit
ly by the Chicago Inter Ocean. The
wheat crop of the United States in
1900 was 522, 229, 500 bushels, falling
off from the crop of 1899 of %, O74, 341
bushels; but the average farm price
OF wheat in 1900 was 35 cents per
bushel higher than in 1899. This
made the smaller crop of 1900 worth
nearly 81, 900, 900 more than the larger
crop of 1899.
The corn crop of 1900 was one of
the four largest ever gathered, being
2,106 1O2, SIG bushels. The price was
"a cents per bushel more than IN
1899, and the aggregate value of the
corn crop was 1922, GOO, 900 more last
year than in the previous year The
oat crop of 1900 was one of the lar
gest on record, being estimated at
500, 1875, 989 bushes. The barley crop
was So, 925, 1873 bushels, rye %, 900, 927
bushels, potatoes, 80, 926, 897 bushels,
aud hay so, 10, 9O6 tons.
The hay crop was the smallest,
with one exception, since 1888, but
the average price was S. $50 per ton as
compared with 1927 per ton in 1899,
so that the value of the hay crop in
1900 was $445. 538, S78, or $33. 600, 900
more than the larger crop of 1899
The total value of the eight staple
farm products in 1900 was 81, 861, 466, /.
592, an increase of $248, 430, 298 over
the value of the same eight products
in 1899.
Our exports of wheat IN 1900 were
about 100000 bushels less than in
1899, and less in value by about $11,-
100000 But in wheat -four there was
a gain in value of over $4,000, 900,
and the gain in exports of corn was
about 1880, OOO There is increased
interest in American corn in nearly
all European countries, and there
certainly IS increased use of corn In
this country as an article of food.
The corn belt is constantly charging,
and while the average yield in the
country at large is only twenty seven
bushels per acre, it has now been in
creased in many localities through
study of soil and method of agricul-
ture, to more than eighty bushels per
acre.

CAT ApRII

Catarrh'' has become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. tits customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
a simple Inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, in fact, complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, it
very soon becomes SO.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison
through the general circulation is carried
to all parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they
do not reach the seat of the trouble. S.
S. S. does. 1t cleanses the blood of the
poison and eliminates from the system all
catarrhal secretions, and thus cures thor
ough1y and permanently the worst cases.

RELATION OF LIGHT TO SEX.
Interesting Experiments OF FisD'
marion with Silkworms.

Intereeting Experiments OF FIs1.
marion with Silkworms.
NJ. Camille Flammarion writes to the
European edition of the New YORK
Herald giving interesting results OF
radiculture at the Juvisy observatory
Experiments made with silkworms
tended to show that those kept under
dark colored glass ate less than those
kept under light colored glass and also
that under the darker glass the per-
centage Of males produced was greater
than under light glass.
Nj. Flammarion thinks that his ex.
periments coincide with the theory that
a preponderance Of male births occur
when there is diminution in the guam
tity and quality of nourishment, sup
posing that sex can be influenced by
external circumstances at all.
Since the early part Of the last CEN
fury many theories have been preached
to account for the difference Of sex in
plants and animals, but nothing def
mite has been proved. The generally
accepted theory is that nature tends to
preserve itself by maintaining nearly
equal proportion Of the sexes and that
when circumstances require the filling
up Of the quota Of either sex it is
brought about by operation Of natural
laws. Thus it has been noticed that
after wars or plaques more male chill.
dren are born than females.
That good nourishment appears to
produce distinct preponderance Of fe-
males, according to the Encyclopedia
Britannica, Is perhaps the single result
which at present can be regarded as
clearly proved and generally accepted.
Twenty years later Professor Schenk
Of Vienna formulated substantially the
same theory, which attracted great at
tention. The Investigations Of agricul-
tural observers leave little doubt that
abundant moisture and nourishment
tend to produce females.
In the case Of insects the results are
said to be still more corroborative.
Thus 1t has been shown that If cater
pillars are starved before entering the
chrysalis state the resultant butterflies
or moths are males, while others Of the
same. brood, highly nourished, come out
females.

Planning One In New York.
Charles NJ. Schwab, president of the
United States Steel corporation, has
bought the beautiful land that is in the
limits Of Riverside drive, West End av-
enue, West Seventy-third and Seventy
fourth streets, New York, says The
Journal Of that city.
The contracts are not yet signed, and
experience teaches that formalities are
Indispensable. but this one is already
as If it had been achieved. The price
was $S65,0OO. MIR. Schwab will build
a palace in park. Mrs. Schwab will
decorate the rooms Of the palace with
works of art. Mr.. Schwab will realize
in the park visions of the days when
he spelled words patiently in a sacred
history illustrated with wood cuts Of
Germany in the seventeenth century.
They gave to the terrestrial paradise
the abundant GOODNESS Of German
landscape. There were horses, hens,
thick tailed sheep. Eve among the an
finals Of creation walked with the awk-
ward grace of a figure painted by Ora
mach. These were to the little student
lost treasures.
He preferred above all things in the
book the Noahs ark, long caravel
surmounted by a wooden castle with
peaked roof. 1t resembled exactly a
Noahs ark which had been given to
him at Christmas and which eXhaled
a good odor of resin. That resemblance
was to him a proof of the truth of his
book
Mr.. Schwab will not try to emulate
in his park the idea that ]. Pierpont
Morgan has for garden in East Thir-
ty-siXth street. Mr.. Morgan's garden
is to be work Of rare art. Mr.
Schwabs park is to be Il work Of ma
ture like the terrestrial paradise of his
books, "a delightful garden with beau
tiful trees" His house in Pittsburg Is
the old Vandergrift mansion that cost
him $4,000. He may not fail to give
