MENTAL INDIGESTION.

Mental indigestion caused by too much reading is one of the commonest ills that attack the bookishy inclined. The mind continues to feed itself. but derives no nourishment. cannot assim- Hate the food placed at its disposal. When the complaint is in its first stages, change of diet will work a cure. If the trouble comes from an Overindulgence in novels. a change to serious essays or poetry is helpful
 if it comes from too much history and biography, the tone of the intellectual system may be restored by a refined spree with the humorous writers But when the malady reaches it's acute form it will not respond to dieting, and heroic treatment is necessary. The best way to cure the disease then is to turn the sufferer loose in a library.

 done material damage to the Appro-

Another great coal strike would be calamity affecting the people of the entire nation in some degree, and would entail unspeakabIe misery in the mining regions. Mitchell is reported to have boasted that the miners would have q strike fund, to begin with. of about S6.OOO.OOO. The prospect of spending so large a sum in a strike appears to have made him and his fel- low unionists intoxicated with a sense of power. But there is a bottom even to chest holding s6.OOO,OO0. as will be amply demonstrated later. if the strike is called Strikes are costly affairs all around.
