NEURAsrHENIA.

Neurasthenia, or nervous prostra-
ton" has been called the American
disease" because we in this country
are supposed to be possessed of a rest
less energy which wears upon the nerv-
Gus force and finally exhausts it.
Both neurasthenia and hysteria were
formerly, and are by many even yet,
regarded as trivial affections; and SUI
ferers from them were ~unjustly looked
upon with something akin to contempt
as creatures Of weak will power, who
might be well if they chose.
But neurasthenia is a very real dis
ease and sometimes a terrible one, al
though the doctors are as yet unable to
discover any palpable change in the
nervous system to account for the
symptoms. 1t seems to be, as its name
implies, a real nervous exhaustion;
there is no visible change in the nerv-
Gus system, but it is simply tired from
overuse and unable properly to per-
form its delicate functions.
The symptoms of neurasthenia vary
greatly in character and in degree, yet
they are usually quite easily recogniz-
able as being due to W exhaus-
ton and not to actual organic disease
OF any part of the system.
The mind is tired; the patient is IN
able to concentrate his thoughts on
MS work, and often finds himself sit
ting doing nothing while matters re-
curing his immediate attention are ac-
cumulating, and life has lost its
charm. The little sleep he gets is dis
turbed by dreams, and the morning
brings no refreshment.
Various weary sensations, pains,
chilly feelings, numbness, and so forth,
are complained of in different parts
OF the body. Dizziness, ringing in the
ears, dimnesS of vision or floating
spots before the eyes, headache and
pain in the spine are common symp-
TOMS. The heart is irritable, very
slight causes increasing the rapidity
OF the pulse. The nuerasthenic is
often d~yspeptic and usually has a poor
appetite.
The treatment is apt to be difficult,
Tor the reason that the patients are
hard to manage. The main thing is
rest, both mental and physical. Yet
the sufferer should not be wholly idle.
he should, if possible, leave home for
a Time and stay in some quiet place
where there is enough going on to in
terest without exciting him.
Long hours of sleep, n%ourishfng food
with plenty of cream and butter, mod
crate daily exercise in the open air,
and especially entire freedom from
worry, are the main points in the treat
ment of nervous exhaustion.

A group of mechanics who are now
returning from British India bring
with them the story of an American
expansion in which all can rejoice.
They have just completed the con
%struction of a great steel bridge in
the Shan Hills of Burma, which is to
be part Of a railroad built by the GOV
eminent from Rangoon into China.
The steel was made by a Pennsylvania
concern, which secured the contract in
competition with the world. Three
great freighters conveyed the structur-
al material across the seas, and forty
mechanics went out to do the skilled
work. Higher than the tallest ofIies
buildings of Philadelphia and nearly
half a mile long, this bridge is a fitting
monument to the expansion of Am
erican trade.

LIQUID INSECT CATCHER.

The increased destruction of city
trees by insects during the past few
years has caused the inventor to design
a number of devices to prevent the
pests from crawling up the tree trunk
and depositing eggs in the branches as
well as eating the leaves. Hitherto
the guards have consisted of bands OF
loose fabric, cotton wadding, ETC., be-
ing generally treated with a chemical
and bound tightly on the tree trunk.
His invention, which we show here
with, however, is a radical departure
from former ideas, inasmuch as the
chemical is in a liquid form and is
contained in a circular pocket sur
rounding the tree, making it impos-
stble for any insect or worm to crawl
up the trunk of the tree without pass
ing through the liquid. The guar is
in two sections, which are clamped to-
gether round the tree, with a layer of

St~ctl4eIan and inventor of telegraph
and telephone devices. He has come
to the conclusion that it is the earth,
and not the air, through which signals
are transmitted, without the use OF
wires, and that the curvature of the
earth and intervening hills do not in
tercept the signals, and this suggested
TO him the question whether the mat
ter autographed left the masts at the
top or bottom. He believes that it left
at the bottom, as the signaling is not
aftected by wind or fog and is i'm
proved by giving the masts good cleo
trleal communication with the earth.
According to his theory, communica-
ton s .kept up through geological beds,
in which the electricity of the earth has
the same tension, so that disturbance
on n point at the same electrical
level creates a swell in the lower level,
leaving the higher and lower strata
comparatively undisturbed. He pro-
poses to tap these levels by means of
shafts and measure the electrical ten
sion with the electroscope. The French
Telegraph Department has appointed a
committee to sink the shafts to ascer-
tain the distribution of electrical levels.
~W1llot considers that he can CON
struct an apparatus which will meet
every case.

THE HAIR BRUSH.
Breeds Dandruff. which Causes Failing Hair
and Finally Badness

Prof. Unna, Hamburg, Germany, Eu-
ropean authority on skin diseases, says
that dandruff is as contagious as any
other malevolent disease, and that one
common source of the spread Of dandruff
is the use of the same hair brush by diff
ferent persons. The way to avoid catch
ing dandruff or any other disease from
another's brush, is to insist OH the use
of Newbro's Herpicide. 1t not only kills
the dandruff germ, but it is also an anti
septic that will prevent the catching of
any disease whatever through contagion
OF another's brush.

THE LONGMIRe DECISION.
Supreme Court Holds That He Is Entitled to
What water He Needs.


The decision handed down by the
state supreme court in the case of David
Longmire vs.. Richard Smith and fifty
other defendants on Tuesday has been
the subject of general discussion in this
city since the news of the decision
reached here. The decision is Of the ut
most interest and importance throughout
the arid sections of this state.
Mr.. Longmire settled upon the Wenas
river many years ago and acquired 1900
acres of land. No settlements had been
made above him at the time he first took
his bitches out Of the Wenas but after.
wards and without objections on Mr..
Longmire's part, the defendants and
their predecessors in interest took up
the lands above Longmire, amounting
to many thousands of acres Of land, and
took out water to irrigate the same from
the Wenas above Longmire's intake.
In this way Longmire's ranches were
gradually deprived OF water and finally
his orchard died, and his meadows
ceased to produce crops. He then insti-
tuted suit to enioin all the land owners
above him from diverting the waters of
the river claiming such waters both as
prior appropriation and as riparian
owner. The superior court gave Mr..
Longmire the exclusive use of the waters
for certain days during the dry season,
but this was not satisfactory to him and
he appealed to the supreme court. The
decision referred to, according to reports
secured from Olympia by Henry ].
Snively, Longmire's attorney, declares
Longmire entitled to the undiminished
flow of the Wenas down to his intake to
the extent that he requires to irrigate
his lands. This practically gives him
the entire utility of the river, as claimed
by him, and will leave the upper lands
dry ranches.
By a system OF reservoirs which can
be economically constructed and the ex-
tension OF the Selah valley canal all Of
these ranches can be supplied with
abundant water at a very reasonable fig
ure. Everybody here is heartily glad
that the case is finally settled, as much
bitter feeling has been engendered by
the litigation and more than once seri-
GUS bloodshed over it was but mar
rowly averted between the angry con-
tending parties. Now that it is settled
the owners of the upper lands will be
compelled at once to proceed to get am
pie water to irrigate their very valuable
and productive lands from other sources.
