What Caused the Lynchinq.

Out at Stafford the other day a
group of farmers met a train, and when
a tall, sunburned man stepped off the
car they all grabbed him and shook his
hand warmly. The man looked them
over calmly and then said: Gentle

We are apt to think too much

II they have no money. they probably
have something lying about the

Christmas Donf's.

Don't wait until the last minute
to buy your presents, and then. for
lack OF time to make proper selec-
tons, give what your better judy
ment condemns.
Don't decide to abstain from Civ
ing just because you cannot afford
expensive presents. The thoughtful
ness OF your gift, the interest you
take in those to whom you give. are
the principal things. The intrinsic
value of your gife counts very little
Don't give things because they
are cheap and make a big show for
the money. AS a rule It is dan
gerous thing to pick up a lot of an
sorts of things at bargain sales for
Christmas presents. If you do, there
is always the temptation TO make in
appropriate gifts. Besides. there Is
usually some defect in bargain artb
cles, or they are out of style. out of
date, or there Is some reason why
they are sold under Success

ing Industry.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 1S.--It is re-
ported that Pittsburg is to be made
the home of most remarkable
school of mines to be instituted by
the department of the interior.
through the Tilted States geological
survey. The great lumber of mine dis
asters happening within the last few
years has caused the technologic
branch of the survey to move in the
matter and action has been FASTENED
by the reference made by President
Roosevelt to mine disasters in his
message.
J. A. Holmes, chief of the tech
nologic branch, has stated that work
will be begun on an experimental
station in a few weeks. 1t is the pur
pose of the survey to study explo-
sions, which will be made to order.
There win be long steel tube 100
feet in length and feet in diameter,
about the size OF an ordinary mine
entry. In this will be mixed the diff
ferent combinations OF gases found
in a mine, and explosives will be
launch into this by a motar stu
ated at a safe distance. Should the
explosives fail to ignite any of the
gases under any and all Circumstance
es they will be recommended to
mine owners as safe. It is hoped
that in this way the survey can cut
to aminimum danger to life.
Fire Damp Grave Problem.
The question OF fire damp will be
one of the most serious The ex-
perimenters will endeavor to discover
how rescuing parties may dash into
the mine after an explosion and res
cue those now left to die. The Eng
lish plan of overcoming fire damp
and after" damp is thought to be
much better than any yet advanced
In America. but an effort will be
maze at the station completely to
overcome or to eounteract fire damp
as soon as formed. Tests on the
combination of fire damp and air
and of coal dust and air will be made
separately and the result carefully
noted until the question is solved.
Invite Miners TO Tests.
Operators and miners will be in
vited to be present while the tests
are conducted. In order. that they

insanity, criminal and immoral ten
denotes, idiocy and the entire reversal
of previous mental poise and moral
standards are conditions that may ac-
company tuberculosis, either in its in
c.plent or chronic stages, medical
science now claims to be certainty.
DR.. Lawrence F. Flick, expert tuber-
culosis physician, and DR.. ID. j. Nc
Carthy, expert criminologist, both OF
more than national reputation, have
Just made known discoveries result
ing from Investigations they have
been making for several years at the
Henry Phipps institute in the treat
ment and prevention Of tuberculosis.
According to the discoveries even
devout persons may become immoral
and degenerate, honest men turn
thieves, optimists become pessimists,
and strong, healthy minded men
change into inebriates with little or
no sense of moral responsibility. And
these conditions may take place long

says DR.. Mccarthy, sis partly re-
sponsible for the decisions and hallu-
cinations experienced by so many
tuberculosis patients. In a case for
years under my personal observation
at the Philadelphia General hospital.
there were decisions accompanied by
various homicidal attempts. Another
case was that of a man who developed
insanity almost a year before tuber-
culosis made its appearance.
"Stilg another claimed that he was
in the habit of receiving communica-
lions from his father, whom he after
ward found had been dead for sew
eral years. Another insisted that his
dead father came to his room at all
hours Of the day and night and wrote
messages on the walls with piece On
straw. Another saw queer pictures
when awake, and one woman was
continually calling our attention to
the procession of people dressed all
An white constantly before her"
Heritage From Insane Parents.
Not only has science established
the fact, according TO these experts.
that in at least so per cent Of tuber-
culosis patients insanity shows itself
in some stage of the disease, but that,
conversely, vast numbers of tubercu-
aosis patients have been predisposed

deficient nervous systems. In many
cases insanity has been found to have
existed in the parents or antecedents
of tuberculosis patients.
While not willing to admit that
their work is anywhere near COM
plete, the investigators are now in a
position to state positively that there
is an undoubted connection between
mental unbalance and tuberculosis
and vice versa. Drs. Flick and Nc
Carthy have for three years kept
daily records of each patients physi-
cal and mental conditions from the
day Of entrance until discharged or
dead. in addition to this the history
OF the patients family and anteced-
ents has been procured wherever
possible.
