GOOD CURE FOR THE "BLUES."
Hearty Lauqh in Most Cases Better
Than Medicine.

''Low Spirits" or what is popularity
termed "a fit of the blues,' is mental
state often caused by a poisoning OF
the nervous system with one OF those
curious toxins which the body occa'
sionally Celebrates from the food sup
piled to it and which perhaps a slug
gish liver Whose duty it is to guard
the portals of the system and prevent
the entrance of hurtful matters from
the alimentary canaD has allowed to
pass unchallenged. Laughter alone
has been known to dissipate this kind
Of mental depression, by mechanically
rousing the system, increasing the
rate of oxidation of the blood, indirect
>ly stimulating the organs by which
such poisons are eliminated, and by its
beneficial action on the liver, arrest
ing the absorption into the system Of
any more poisons.

Dress Goods.
Our Restricted Franchise.
Lst. Adams Messenger

Speaking of the number of free men
disfranchised by the new delinquent tax
law, The Ludlow Tribune says:
Ten per cent. is a common estimate
and lovers of the right will have trouble
in seeing a justification of this condition
in any abstract argument as to the beauty
of a restricted franchise "
Surely the contemporary must realize
that Vermont had restricted franchise
before this delinquent tax law was passed.
1t seems needless to remind the Tribune
that one of the reasons why there is some
thing of a divergence of opinion as to the
merits of this law is the tendency of some
of our friends to overlook the true char
acter of the voting franchise in America.
1t comes to no man as his inherent right
it is conferred upon him, and it has
been restricted" from the beginning.
There certainly can be no violation of the
American conception of political liberty in
an incidental modification of those restric-
tions.

a hearing at Greenfield Saturday on the
petition of Mrs. Ellen f. Newton for the
custody of her minor children. Mrs. New
ton is the wife of Dr. A. l.. Newton of
Mortified and libelee in the divorce libel
of Aaron l.. Newton against Ellen E.
Newton, which is now pending in the SUI
perior court Cruel and abusive treat
ment is alleged. The case is contested,
and was not heard at the March sitting
on account of lack of time. An agree
ment was reached by which Dr. Newton
has been paying $40 a week for the sup
port of his wife The two children have
been with their father at Northfield
Mrs. Newton, who is living in Albany,
wished to have the younger of the chill
dren, a girl of 10, with her. Objection
was made that she was not a suitable
person to care for the children. The
libelee, through counsel, expressed a wish
to have an allowance sufficient to enable
her to live in Mortified, where she could
be near the children. Judge Aiken re-
fused to disturb the arrangement made
for the children, but said the mother
should have the right to see them. The
court remarked that $40 a week used to
pay for board in Mortified Counsel for
Mrs Newton said that she lived in Albany
with relatives from necessity rather than
choice, as she did not have money enough
to live in Mortified. The court ordered
the payment of $12 a month i'm addition
to the $40 a week which Mrs. Newton
has been receiving, in order that she may
have means to visit the children once a
month, the arrangement to continue until
July, when it Is supposed the divorce case

Mont PeIee AaaIn In EruptIon.

The grim crater of Mont Pelee shows
a marked renewal OF volcanic activity
and has been spreading clouds of smoke
over the island of Martinique. The ennis
sions of vapors, condensing in thick clouds
over the mountain last week, indicates
that the deep subterranean forces are
unusually active. A very large percent
age of the vapors are of fresh water
origin, some of the deep-lying heated
rocks absorbing water as much as one
fifth of their volume The waters which
descend to great depths in the cavernous
mountain and play an important part in
causing eruptions may have their source
in the sea or may be principally supplied
by the rains And as the rainy season is
now opening in the West Indies Mont
Pelee's activity may soon become intense
and spectacular.

chlcaoo's Frelobt subwavs.

In 1899 the Illinois Telegraph and Tele-
phone company began to build a series
of tunnels under the streets of Chicago
for the purpose of carrying the wires and
cables of the company's automatic tele-
phone system. This network of tunnels
is now utilized for quite different pur-
pose than that for which II was originally
constructed This further use is as
system of electric traction for the hand
ling of freight. express. and mail. The
company. now Incorporated under the
name of the Illinois Tunnel company
was granted a franchise for this pur-
pose in July, 1908. 1t is controlled by the
leading railroads which enter Chicago
The great advantage of a system OF
freight haulage Of this kind is apparent
at a glance. Far below the surface of
Chicago's streets scores of electric loco
motives are pulling freight trains that
are taking thousands of tons of coal into
the boiler rooms of sky scrapers without
dirt, noise. or sign of effort in the street
They are removing tons of ashes. and
caring for the excavations from the base
ments of buildings in course of construc-
ton. More than this, they are hauling
daily many thousands OF tons of freight
which was formerly carried over the
pavements in wagons. On February 10,
1905 the company entered into a con-
tract with the government under which
ALI of Chicagos second third and fourth
class mail matter will be transferred
from the railway stations to the new post
Office through the tunnels. a further plan
to utilize the tunnels for mail purposes
involves the building Of chutes connecting
the stTeet-corner mail boxes with boxes
in the tunnel. where the mail can be
collected by cars. When the new schemes
are perfected and added to the present
pneumatic tube service for first-cass
mail, Chicago will have the most perfect
underground mail facilities in the world.
Eight hundred and eighty tons OF mail
win be handled in the tunnels daily, in
special locked United States cars. The
system will be in nperatinn by June L
