Excessive Talking Held to Be Drain
on Vital Energy.

London.-Excessive talking is held
responsible by the Rev. B. S. Lombard.
vicar of All Hallows. Gospel Oak, N.
W., for the many nervous diseases and
the increasing amount of insanity
which affects modern society.
This novel theory of disease was
advanced in lecture on SILENCE as a
Factor in Healing" given by the Psy-
cho Therapeutic society. 1t was pos
sible, he said, to waste an enormous
amount Of vital energy by excessive
talking, and the excessive talker was
a human vampire sapping the vital en-
ergy of those around him.
People who are silent by nature
are seldom ILL.," explained the speaker
Very often those whom the special
lists receive in their consulting rooms
are great takers. People induce ILL.,
ness by talking about their health
symptoms. To talk about symptoms
is a fatal habit"
As an instance of talking IS fac
tor in disease. Mr.. Lombard quoted
the case of lady who came to his
house in a terrible condition of break
down. She had been to specialist
after specialist, with little result, and
came to him for the spiritual or the
silence cure" After staying for
some time she left perfectly cured and

ther. When a young man meets one
stops to talk with her, he must re-
move his hat entirely from his head
and hold 1t in his hand while the con-
versation continues.
The only exception to be made to
this rule is in case the young man is
i'll. when he may be allowed to replace
the hat on Lis head after he has once
doffed it.
There are other rules. such as re-
quiring young men friends to give up
seats in street cars to any woman who
may be standing. and removing their
hats in public elevators, but the young
women say these customs are com
monty observed now.
THE indications are that the aver
age young man is losing the old-time
respect for a woman merely because
she is woman" said one of the men,
bers of the Leap Year club THE Gus
tom in the small towns of doing away
with chaperons, the co-educational in
stitutions and the camaraderie that
exists between American boys and
girls and young men and women have
had tendency to break down the ma
tural barriers that should be kept up.
When the average young man
meets in the street a girl that he
knows pretty well, for instance, he
raises his hand to his hat but that is
about all. If he stops to talk to her,
the chances are that he does not even
gy,' and lets it go at that
What the girls of this club desire
to do is to get back in some small
measure to the customs of chivlary.
or course, we don't expect modern
young man in pressed trousers, patent
leather shoes and high cosar to buckle
on suit of armor and fight somebody
for us, but we do believe, and we
think that every woman thinks the
same way, that he should treat us with
little more Difference than he does
his young men friends But even so,
the boys are not altogether to blame.
In being anxious to be regarded as
good fellows some of the young wo-
men have rather encouraged these lib

Prof. steinnetz Says Fuel Supply Will

New York.-Dr. Charles Proteus
Steinmetz, professor of electrical en-.
cheering at Union college in Schenec.
tady, took look into the future in a
lecture the other afternoon at the
American Institute of Electrical Engi-
neers. He said a handicap against
electricity now is its high cost of pro-
duction.
THE time will COME" said Prof.
Steinmetz, when we will have no
more coal, and 1t is not far in the fu-
ture. Anthracite will not last long. and
many of us who are here will be alive
when the last is gone. Many Of us
will see the time when there is only
soft coal.
Some of you may see the time
when soft coal is exhausted, but prob
ably not, for there is supply of this
even in Greenland's icy mountains.
But nevertheless we can see the end.
and when we approach 1t, what are we
going to do to keep from freezing ?
That seems to be the problem the next
generation will have to meet. and
maybe we ourselves"

$4,000 CAT cHLoRoFoRMED.
One of the Heirs Of Man Who Left
Fortune to Care for Two Pets.

Wilkesbarre, Pa.-After enjoying for
several years fortune of $4,000,
Blackie, one cf the two pet cats of the
late Benjamin Dilly, was chloroformed
and is now dead, aged 16 The act of
mercy was performed after physicians
had pronounced Blsckie's illness hope
less and with the consent of the eX-
ecutors of the Vill
Dilley, who died in 1905, had made
Blackie and his sister Pinkie pets
since their birth in 1892. In his will
he left the income of $4,000 proper
ty to provide for them and appointed
Miss Addie Ruch at SIS month to
care for them, giving her this through
life.
The cats had the dainticst of food
and the house where they lived was
arranged for their convenience. They
grew big and fat and lazy. never being
allowed to run at large or associate
with other cats.
Pinkie died two years ago. Miss
Ruch was taken seriously i'll three
weeks ago and is in the hospital Her
departure affected Blackie and some
days ago he, too, became seriously
sick

back to the hotel, scolding helplessly
all the way as they scudded with the
wind. But Louise held the little tin
kettle firmly.
Men knew of Richard Gordon that
night that he was a marked man. The
secret workings Of secret clan had
him on their prescription list. Some
one had at last found this unwearied
and doggedly persistent young fellow
in the way. In the way. he was a
menace, danger He must be re-
moved from out the way. He could
not be bought from it-he should be
warned from it. So now his home
his work room and his rest room, the
first by many hours daily the more in
use, with all its furnishings of bache-
lor plainness and utility, that yet had
held curious charm for some men,
friends and cronies like Langford-
was burning that he might be warned.
Could any one say, Jesse Black has
done this thing?" Would he not bring
down proof of guilt by retaliation
struck too soon? 1t would seem as if
he were anticipating an unfavorable
verdict. So men reasoned. And even
then they did not arise to stamp out
the evil that had endured and hugged
itself and spit out corruption in the
cattle country. That was reserved for
another.
They talked of match thrown
down at the courthouse by a tramp,
likely-when it was past midnight,
when the fire broke out with the wind
a piercing gale, and when no vagrant

fort and had slept these many weeks
in SUMMER climes. Some argued that
the windows of the courtroom might
have been left open and the stove
blown down by the wind tearing
through, or the stove door might have
blown open and remains of the fire
been blown out, or the pipe might
have fallen down. But 1t was a little
odd that the same people said Dick
Gordon's Office likely caught fire from
flying sparks. Dicks Office was two
blocks to westward of the courthouse
and 1t would have been brave spark
and lively one that could have made
headway against that Northwestern.

The little county seat awoke in the

northwest hills, and fine. icy snow was
swirling SO thickly through the cold
air that vision was obstructed. Build

many degrees below the zero mark. 1t

as steel to magnet. He shrugged his

One Of the we'll known magicians
not along ago had queer experience.
but the people in the theater had more
fun out Of 1t than he did. One Of his
tricks was to shake a sack to show
that it was empty and then to draw
out Of It an egg. after which he would
always reach in again and bring out
the hen that laid the egg. OF course
he had to have help in this, and one
night he had new man who did
everything just as he had been told
until it came to this act. Reaching
into the bag. he drew forth the fowl
at the usual time. but instead of the
hen an old rooster hoped down on to
the stage, ruftied its feathers and
strutted around. growing with all it's
might. while the audience laughed
and the magician went out to hunt his
new helper.-London Opinion.
