THE BUSINESS MANS NERVES.
Diagnosis Of Specialist Reveals Him
as Suffering from Mental Activity
and Alcohol.

A diagnosis of the American bust
ness man made by an eminent nerve
specialist reveals him as suffering
from "a neurosis partaking of the
character of neurasthenia, psychas
thenia and hysteria," the provoking
causes of which are Continuous men
tai activity and excessive use of al
cohol.' This being the state of the
business. mans nerves, the lay obser-
yer is left to wonder at the deceptive
appearance of health and heartiness
with which he DISCUSSES his grave
maladies from the eyes of all but the
neurologist- 1t is amazing with what
zest and energy these nervous wrecks
plunge into outdoor recreation, what
arduous games of golf they play with
what enthusiasm they motor. One
might suppose that their general
health was better than that of any
previous generation of American bust
ness men. But appearances are prov
erbially deceitful. Behind their out
ward show of physical activity the in
ward cancer of decay is at work con-
Stunning their vitality. What seem to
be we'll nurtured figures are the re.
suits of alcoholic imitation. 1t is a
serious state of things, but at least
word of admiration may be ex-
pressed for the skill with which they
disguise their symptoms.

You first sign your name and an at

You next enter a booth where you

charge of you and conducts you to a
large bath tub
Into this you climb and the water
both hot and cold is turned on until
you gradually get used to the water,
and the cool water is shut off and the
warm is permitted to run, until it is
of the right temperature. After you
are in there long enough you are told
to get out and are taken to a marble
covered table where coarse salt is
rubbed all over you, and your man
rubs you down like racing horse.
In fact when you get out of the
bath house you feel like Dan Patch

Eccentric Frenchman, Having Made
UP His Mind to End His Life,
Did Things In style.


Says the Paris correspondent Of the
st. James Budget: Weary of life at
the ripe age of 70, M. Auguste Jabois,
of Independent means, residing in
the Rue Poncelot. put an end to his
existence with no little ceremony. Be-
fore retiring at night he spend near
ly an hour discussing his favorite
dishes with his housekeeper, and
finally drew up sumptuous menu
for next days lunch. 1t was to be
a great day for him, he informed her.
and he must have everything of the
best. He had purchased masses Of
flowers, and these were to be placed
in all the rooms.
THE good woman grew seriously
alarmed, as in her opinion these prep
arations could only mean that her
master intended to get married, and
that her rule was at an end. Her
suspicious appeared to be confirmed
when M. Jabois came down next day
in his dress suit, with all his decora-
tons. He took a cab and drove Off
to fetch the bride, thought the I'M
happy housekeeper.
But to her amazement her master
returned alone. He sat Gown to his
meal with hearty appetite, and then
after giving orders that he was not to
be disturbed, he retired to his study.
There he was found dead, some hours
later, having been suffocated by gas.
His matutinal expedition proved to
have been to an undertaker's, where
he ordered handsome coffin"

Ginseng seeds are worth one cent

When first growing from the seed
the ginseng plants have two forks or

The second year 1t adds another leaf

plant grows in three parts with three
leaves on each part and this year a

This grows direct from the main
stalk of the plant and from four to

produces from fifty to sixty seeds, and
sometimes goes as high as 100 seeds.

H. Man of this city, to examine THE
Danger Mark and see If any part of
it is actionable Mr.. Field said he
saw very close parallel between
the fictitious Seagrave children and
the real Hamersley children.
In the last installment of the tale,
Mr.. Chambers depicted his Seagraves
as grown up and indulging with an
idle, drinking, flirting folk on a great
game preserve.
Geraldine has inherited taste for
intoxicants and is afraid of herself;
Scott has fallen in love with the
nurse and is determined to win her.
In the case of the nurse, there is
quite difference between the ficti-
tious Katheleen Severn and the real
Mrs. Sarah Lowry. Miss Severn is
shown as young and beautiful, only a
few years older than Scott Mrs.
Lowry is middle aged and quite old
enough to be Louis Hamersley's
mother.
Mr. Field, the uncle, said today:
'1f Mr.. Chambers has drawn his
characters from my wards. and has
attributed to them evil traits, such
as drinking and falling in love with
nurses he will have to answer at law.
The Hamersleys have never tasted a
drop of liquor They are too young to
know any evil"
