That "Blue" 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 re-
cent medical writer. The class OF
phenomena that includes fainting, ver'
tigo, nausea, etc., is controlled by GER
tain brain centers that also bring
about sort of cramp of the external
muscles of the eye. The resulting
compression of the organ causes OBJ
jects to look gray or blush, and ulti.
mately produces apparent darkness.
The use of the word. having physio'
logical basis, is common to many Ian
guages. The French say, for instance:
Il see blue" A writer says that the
French word advertisement (giddi'
ness) should be spelled advertisement
and has the same origin.

stale.
In the course Of the evening his
wife asked him il he did not want
some candy. The writer Of plays said
he thought he had eaten all the candy
he cared for that day.

it has a pretty picture on it and let

From book in his pocket he read

find that the man was not a doctor
but he mentioned the name of the

he wanted the same thing that had
SO much improved the looks of his

He took seat and as he read the

short he heard the hair expert tell
him to come on at the end of the
