Anger Shortens Life.

DR.. Maurice de Fleury, a distin-
guished Frenchman, has just written
a short scientific treatise. in which he
advances the interesting theory that
every time we become angry our vital
ity shrinks so much in proportion to
every outburst. After even the most
artfully suppressed signs of bad temp
err our vitality becomes smaller and
smaller until finally nothing is left.
The moral of this French doctors
treatise, of course, is that we should
never allow ourselves to become angry
If we value our health and life.
Anger is a certain kind of cerebral
excitement, explains DR.. de F1eury.
The hypersthenic subject is always on
its verge, while the neurasthenic be-
comes Infatuated only by a sudden
bound of reaction excited from with
out. But at the moment when they
are let loose the two arc alike, save
that the strong man is a binder brute,
while the weak man is somewhat of
an actor and seems to aim at effect.
Prof. Lange, of the University of
Copenhagen has described these
symptoms with precision in an i'm
portant little book, which has been
the starting point and confirmation of
almost all recent researches.
He describes that "all the emotions
! are due to disorders of the circulation
of the blood, and anger, In particular,
to very intense dilation of the small
arteries of the BRAIN"
He describes redness and swelling
of the face as a constant sign of anger,
forgetting the white rage" which Is
so frequent and impressive But he
has brought into strong relief this
capital fact-that anger Is state Of
general hyperenervation.
The whole organism. the muscles,
and the glands-for anger has its
tears, sweats, and foaming at the
mouth-manifestly set in action by a
superabundance of nervous influx. be-
gin to work to excess, without aim,
without utility, solely to relieve their
overtension.-Baltim Sun.

Famous Harvard Base Ball and Foot
Ball Player-Wel1 Educated
and Able.

Employees and officials of the Depart
ment of Justice are worked up over a
rumor from Boston that w. H. Lewis.
negro assistant United States attorney
att that place, Is to be made assistant
attorney general Of the United States
in place of Afford w. Cooley. recently
resigned on account Of i'll health.
Lewis has been assistant United States
attorney at Boston for q number of
years and has given satisfaction to the
Department Of Justice in his work. He
is a graduate of Harvard Colleg,. When
in that institution he was one Of the
greatest base ball players on the var
sity team. He likewise took part in the
foot ball games.
If President Roosevelt should conclude
to make this appointment he would give
to the negro race the most important
Office it has ever had under any admins
tration. AS assistant attorney general
Lewis would, during the summer months,
become acting head of the department
and In charge Of its vast legal machinery.
He is a young man. about thirty years
old. His appointment to such responsible
position would provoke criticism. At the
same time his legal abilities are general
ly recognized.
