support of this idea the fact that tele-
phone service In England has been slow
in developing because the government,
which controls the telegraph in connec--
ton with the postal service, did not,
certainly in the first years of the tele-
phone, look with favor on q system
which might take business from the
telegraph lines. All this forms an in
teresting question in the theory of COM
petition, and remains to be worked out
in practice.

since had nervous prostration, about
thirteen years ago, 1 have had periodical
spells of complete exhaustion. The doc.
tor said my nerves were shattered Any
excitement or unusual activity would
throw me into a state of ifelessness.
At the beginning my strength would
come back IN moderate time after each
attack, but the period of weakness kept
lengthening until at last I would lie
helpless as many as three hours at q
stretch. had dizzy feelings, palpita-
ton of the heart, misery after eating,
hot flashes, nervous headaches, rheu-
matte pains III the back and hips. The
doctor did me so little good that I gave
up his treatment, and really feared thaS
my case was incurable
"When I began taking DIR. Williams
Pink Pills my appetite grew keens
my food no longer distressed me, my
nerves were quieted to a degree that I
had not experienced for years and my
strength returned. The fainting spells
left me entirely after I had used the
third box of the pills, and my friends
say that am looking better than have
done for the past fifteen years

Prof. Goodwin Smith some time ago
formally willed his brains to Cornell
University. Some remarkable brains
have been sold, not given. An English
man has disposed of his to an American
university for $4,000. He is a man
of little education, and for many years
worked as a coal miner. He has a
marvellous memory, especially for dates,
and is now earning a good salary on
the music hall stage.
The fox is an excellent mouser. He

The idea that O man who goes on a
railway journey takes his life in his
hands and is rather more likely than
not to meet with an untimely death
at the first curve the train negotiates
Is scarcely borne out by the fact that
the chances against any one passenger
meeting his death on the railway are
Bs.O00,0OO to /. This immunity from
disaster reflects considerable credit
upon the companies, but still more upon
the engine drivers and signal men,
whose skill and care are the main fac
tors IN the safety of the passenger.

The "chain" or ''snOwball'' letter
nuisance has received recognition both
by British postal experts and at the
bands of the late postal congress. These
letters, as most persons know, are start
ed by some one who sends out, say, a
group OF ten, each recipient being asked
70 send out ten more, and so on-in
Eenetrical progression. The result is a
nuisance to many private individuals
rs well as to the postal authorities.
Reports upon the matter made by Hen
mixer HeatOn to the postal congress
led to a decision that hereafter chain
letters insufficiently prepaid will not
be returned to the writer's, as is the
case with ordinary letters, but will be
thrown into the dead-letter office.
