That "1iue" FEELING.

The use Of the word blue" to de-
note melancholy or terror, as in the
phrases to feel blue" blue devils" a
blue funk" and so on, is not entirely
figurative, If we are to credit q re.
cent medical writer. The class of
phenomena that includes fainting, yer.
tigo, nausea, ETC., is controlled by GER
tain brain centers that also bring
about a sort OF cramp Of the external
muscles OF the eye. The resulting
compression of the organ causes OBJ.
5ects to look gray or blush, and ulti.
mately produces apparent darkness.
The use Of the word, having a physio.
logical basis, is common to many Ian.
guages. The French say for instance:

French word eblouissement (giddi.
ness) should be spelled advertisement

thrown against the saw soon after

foot near the heel. Mcdonald died
about an ssonr ard a half after the ac
cident ard before medical assistance
arrived He il survived by a wife and
two children. boy and n girl.
From meager accounts il appears
that the saw had come into contact
with a rock and Mcdonald mad pulled
the whistle cord TO shut the min down,
at the same time throwing the lever
to send the carriage back. bringing
his lever To the center. He supposed
the carriage would stand still. and
leaving his position he stepped across
the carriage track to divest himself
OF his mackinaw
He noticed the carriage starting for
ward and he attempted 10 recross the
track in front of the oncoming carriage
and regain the lever TO control IL. The
carriage had attained greater
velocity than he supposed. and before
he could reach the lever the log on the
carriage hurled him forward and
pinned him against the saw.
The power was being shut off as
the accident happened and as soon as
the wheels ceased turning his CO.

body out of harms wYty, He lived
long enough for his wife tn reach his

and possibly we have been spoiled by

had about three weeks of slelghing

to bear in the matter OF food, for

the winter we can tomatoes and dry
