ANXIETY.
Effects of This Form of Mental and
Physical Derangement.

Effects of This Form of Mental and
Physical Derangement.
In paper read before the congress
Of French alienists at Grenoble DR..
CASTOR Lalanne pointed out that
anxiety is a disturbance which is ex-
pressed by the entire being. The ex-
citing causes are sometimes physical
and sometimes psychical, and the
symptoms manifested are both phys
ical and mental. The physical symp-
toms comprise cold feelings and chills
of the scalp and body, general lassi-
tude, inco-ordination of voluntary
movements far more apparent than
real emotional coloring of speech, and
vertigo, which is dependent upon vaso-
motor cerebral disturbances or upon
digestive troubles. In the anxious
states there are always circulatory
troubles, such as accelerated heart beat,
1rregularity of the hearts action,
heightened arterial tension and cold
ness of the extremities Respiratory
disturbances are also present.
The psychical symptoms of anxiety
include various degrees Of vague dread
and apprehensiveness, often taking
definite forms, in which case they are
designated as ''phobias" or ''obessions
of fear weakening the capacity of at
tention and of memory, and a tend
ency to confusion of ideas Halluci-
nations of the senses are prone to oc-

One In This Country.
When the south sea bubble in Eng
land collapsed one of the spectators
went to Smyrna to repair his fortune.
He was a friend of Alexander Pope
and sent him a box of figs in which
had been placed a twig of a tree Pope
planted the twig on his grounds on the
shore of the Thames, not knowing of
what tree it was. 1t grew and was a
weeping willow, In 1775, when the
tree was over fifty years old, one of
the young British officers who came to
Boston with the British army brought
a twig from the tree, which he intend
ed to plant on his lands after the re-
bellion had been crushed. John Parke
Custis, son of Mrs. Washington, going
on errands to the British camp under
a flag of truce, became acquainted
with the owner of the willow twig,
which was draped in oiled silk, and OBJ
tanned 1t from him, which he planted
near his home at Abingdon. Va, where
It became the progenitor Of all the
weeping willows in America.

NEW STEEL SEPARATOR.
J. |. Case: Headquarters Receive g
Sample Of the Latest Make.
From SATURDAYS Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
The local headquarters of the j. L.
Case Threshing Machine company this
morning received one of the new steel
separators, which this company is now
putting on the market. 1t does not have
any wood work connected with it, and
the only cast iron is in the small
boxes The rest is all steel and gal
vanized steel. This makes very strong
and durable machine, and at the same
time it is 300 pounds lighter than the
old kind. While it costs $50 more, this
is saved several times over. There is Il
saving of $50 year in insurance alone,
as it does not have to be insured against
damage by fire. 1t has water proof
top, and will therefore last longer. With
so little cast iron, repairs are also elm
mated, as there is no chance for break
age. A twenty bar cylinder is used.
This is the fourteenth steel separator
that has been sent to the state, and
the third to come to Mankato, but the
other two were sold and did not re-
main twenty four hours. This one will
be kept for exhibition. The company is
the only one putting out the steel sep
arator, and expects to manufacture one
thousand of them next year, as they
promise to take the place of the old
kind.

KNEW PAYNE IN SIXTIES.
Rev. George n. Davis Brings Forth
Some Old Time Photographs.
From Mondays Daily.

About two weeks ago Dr. George II.
Davis was looking over some old photo
graphs in his collections, when he came
across a picture of two young men
whom he knew in the latter sixties,
Henry Payne and brother. This Henry
Payne was dry goods man at that
time, having store on East Water
street. DR.. Davis was at that time in
the commission business with his broth
er. The doctor, on looking over that
photograph, realized for the first time
that the present postmaster general, now
famous for his work in connection with
the unearthing of the pOstoffice scan
dal, is the same Henry Payne, whom
he knew in Milwaukee. Mr.. Payne was
bright, active, industrious young
man, and showed a character that his
subsequent career bears out to perfec
ton.

ROWDYISM BREAKS OUT.
Religious Meetings In North Mankato
Disturbed by Eoys

The pastor of the Swedish Congrega
tional church of North Mankato called
at the police station Saturday after
noon and complained that the evening
services there have been disturbed on
several occasions by boys. He said that
he had spoken to them about the mat
ter and asked them to desist, but that
they paid no attention to him, and kept
up their disturbances.
The state law against disturbing re-
ligious meetings is quite severe, and
the boys will desist from giving offense
along this line any more if they know
their own interests. They are said to be
old enough to know better, and the vii
lagc marshal should see that the law is
enforced for the protection of this
church.

ter place the services of the Brother
hood were had, followed by the in
terment.

ed by his death.
