which appear to have arfsen frou on1i-
ogous causes has been made By :
French writer, NJ Devaux. whose paper
on the subject. read originally before the
Societe de Biologie. Is thus noticed in
the Revue Scientiflque:
M Devaux was struck with the hump
found on the back of the neck of Mala-
gasy porters. This class of persons is
alone affected. and the origin Of
the tumors may be quite well de-
termined. They consist of large
wens, often three in number, one
on the neck and one on each shoul-
der, and due to traumatism. In fact, the
Malagasy porters carry two burdens, of
almost equal weight. suspended at the
ends Of bamboo pole resting on the
shoulder at its middle. They walk thus
for days with minimum weights of 40 to
so Kilograms (SS to 1872 pounds) They
change shoulders when tired (Which ex-
plains the two humps, and for this pur-
pose they slide the pole (Which is
greased) over the muscles of the neck
Besides this, the bamboo pole. while
resting on the shoulder, is always
in contact with the neck, which ex-
plains why the middle tumor is the
largest.
The mechanism of the formation of
humps in the zebra, the bison, and the
dromedary is identical, according to M.
Deyaux-a curious and interesting anal
ogy. In the zebra and bison the hump Is
found just at the level of the angle of
f1exion of the neck on the vertebral col
umn, at the moment when the animal
browses-a very pronounced angle, be-
cause the neck is relatively short, and
the natural tumor, therefore, develops at
the exact place where the cellular tissue
is compressed by the knotty apophyses
of the last cervical vertebrae. In the
dromedary the hump IN the middle of
the back is found at the angle of flexion
formed by the vertebral column when
the animal kneels, and here also the
apophyses form bony corner which
penetrates roughly into the cellular It's

DATE AND FIG INDUSTRIES.
New Tropical Importations That
Thrive and Prove Successful
in California.

II the good work that has been prose-
cuted in California and Arizona during
the past few years in cultivating figs
and dates continues. these now imported
tropical fruits will became as cheap and
as common as the California prune and
raisin. According to reliable author
tiles, the California crop of Smyrna figs
during 1908 amounted to 10000 pounds.
OF course, IS tons of dried fruit is mere
bagatelle compared with the market
In this country, but it must be remem-
bered that it is only within the past five
years that the secret of the pollination of
the fig, which fills the fruit with the char
acteristic minute seeds and develops its
delicate flavor. was wrested from nature
by the governments experts. The pol
lination Is accomplished by a tiny insect,
that had to be imported from the shores
of the Mediterranean, and, what is still
more interesting. this insect is particu-
iarly fastidious, and refuses to employ
its talents for the benefit of man unless
fed on Capri, or wild figs. Accordingly,
wild figs. which are worthless for table
purposes, had to be imported, and now
one of the expenses of fig cultivation is
the distribution Of the Capri figs
throughout the orchards for the benefit
of this exacting little insect.
Down in Arizona, where the expert
mentalists have been struggling with
the date palm question for some years
past, most gratifying success has been

NERVOUSNESS UNKNOWN.


The women of Japan, In contrast to
their occidental sisters, have long been
noted for their perfect poise and self
possessions Their placidity under what
would ordinarily be considered trying
circumstances has surprised American
tourists. Patent medicines guaranteed
to cure nervousness in its many forms
have little sale in Japan. The meaning
of the term, nervous prostration," is
unknown. Japanese physicians are
rarely rich, says London paper.
An explanation of this happy state Of
affairs has been made by returned
traveller. ITO begin WITH" says he.
there is never any change in fashions.
SO the Japanese woman has no worries
at all on that score. Then, housekeep-
ing is greatly simplified. so the Japa-
nese housekeeper is hurt by none of the
Jars and frets that rag the nerves and
prematurely fge of her western sister.
The Japanese house has no draperies. no
dust traps in the shape of superfluous
ornaments. People all put of their
shoes on entering the house, SO no mud
or dirt are brought in. Japanese wom-
en- have no heartburnings over euchre
prizes and bridge stakes. They never
have to compose club papers on subjects
concerning which they know nothing.
They never sit up nights planning how
they may outshine their rivals in dress at
some social affair. They do not bother
their brains with schemes for marrying
their daughters to rich foreigners. They
never have to give eight-course dinners
with two-cotrse pocketbooks. They
live simple. happy, peaceful, domestic
lives, and live them long"
While we should be sorry to see Amer
ican women restrict their lives to the
narrow sphere of the Japanese, there is
no doubt that three-fourths OF their
nervous worry is caused by trying to do
too much" Simplicity is the keynote
OF sanity and health, and American men
