Mans brain is a sort of human boil
er which is continually producing
words and ideas. The best thing Ia
do with its products is to apply the
ideas to useful work, to high thought,
to elevating and advancing the world.
And to use words to express these
thoughts and to aid in the progress Of
civilization. advises the New York
World. Some men have more ideas
than words. Most men have more
words than ideas. In either case talk
tends to restore the balance OF brain
pressure and to maintain a mental
equilibrium. If this cannot be done
freely and in public the result is hid
den agitation. secret conspiracy and
every little while an explosion Of
some kind.

Eighty Years old; Never voted.

All sorts of men are noted for an
sorts of things. and here is a man
in Rockland, Mass, just deceased, who
was famous for having abstAined
throughout his eighty years Of life
from casting a ballot. IS boy he
-listened to political wrangles between
the Democrats and Wings. and became
SO disgusted with politics that he
vowed he would never go near the
polls. What a tsxt fol, q sermon On
the duties of citizenship! Yet there
are thousands Of men who are irrf-
tated by the evils of politics, and
who would rather keep aloof than mix
in and help eliminate them. 1t is 30
easy to deplore the wickedness Of
politicians and to assume the holier-
thanIthou attitude; it is not SO easy
to come out like man and take
stand against the politicians. To de-
fly bosses and machines in public re-
uuires stamina.-Proyidenc Journal.

Vicksburg, Miss.-Lieutenant F. B..
Upham of the United States army who
was sent here to look over the food
conditions, returned from a launch
ride through the .overflowed districts
of Warren and Isaquenna counties
and reports that 1000 or 5000 per-
sons need relief. He received tele-
graphic orders to at once order out
supplies for six weeks for about 1000
sufferers in Wilkinson, Adams, and
Jefferson counties, which districts he
visited
The orders for this district will be
made after Lieutenant Upham shall
have visited the Big Black river neigh;
borhood. While Lieutenant Upham
and A. l.. Dorsey, a prominent plantl

eaten breakfast ON a projecting plank
in the Mississippi, near Brunswick
landing, and had left the place only
little while when the bank caved
