Silence ana Rest Cure.

DR.. Weir Mitchell is very successful
IN his cure of women suffering with
aervous diseases, and a part of his
rest cure is silence. One of the values
of silence. he says, Is that during
that period woman may not tell
her troubles, for talking OF ones
troubles, contrary to the generally ac-
cepted idea of its being comforting, 10
deleterious to the general constitu-
ton. It reduces the vital force and
wearies the person who pours her
griefs nito friends ear tenfold more
than would the effort of suppressing
her grief. He does not allow her
friends to visit the patient because
that would mean that they would be
tol dot her troubles. Oriental wom-
en-, who do not talk as much as Ameri-
cans, are healthier and their tempers
are more soothing.

insurgents have been greatly in evidence at Oys-

cation as yet that Speaker Cannon will visit the

THE NEW FOURTH.

n EPOKlS from cities throughout the coun-
AZ try in which the Fourth OF July was cele-
brated in a rational manner tell of the great
pleasure resulting from the abandoning of the
old time methods, and the consequent saving OF
life
OF course, in Chicago, the monster celebra-
ton consisting of parade in which all nationa-
ties took part, was very successful There was
speech making and general jollihcation, with
out disaster or physical suffering. Chicago has
led the way towards a sensible observance OF the
great holiday, for it was in Chicago that the ag-
tation started for a New Fourth
In New York, too the result of the change
has been gratifying according TO the statements
in the newspapers OF that city. New York on
a holiday is usually very boisterous. Rum and
noise hold sway and revel is king. But it was
different in the metropolis on the Fourth The
scenes were almost theatrical in their novelty
and as one newspaper says, IT was like watch
ing the townspeope assemble on the village
green all friends among friends, and neghbors
with one another, to hear music, public speak
ing and to realize a day of restful reasonable
celebration of an abstract idea without hideous
noise. tumult of needless crowds or the vain
clamor of the vulgar 1t so genuine re-
versal of all the local ideas touching what a
popular holiday may consist of as to set these
who watched it wondering why so simple yet
excellent a reform should not have been institute
cd long ago
There was parade of troops and other bodies
together il was day of civilized celebration.
Now York is not likely to go back IS the old
time celebration. Thanks to Mayor Gaynor,
new way has been found
In Philadelphia the effort to have Fourth
like that Of New York failed, and although some
of the Philadelphians are Boosting that their cee-
bration was safe and sane, the list of injured
mounts TO high figures, not SO high, however, as
thos- of last year Two persons were killed in
Philadelphia compared with nine last year, but
5I2 we're injured compared with sos the year be-
fore There were twenty-six fires compared with
eighty last year The long list of the injured
ought to satisfy Mayor Reyburn who announc-
ed some time ago that he was opposed to any
change in the manner of observing the holt
day.
Baltimore and other large cities had new cele-
brations. Springfield Mass, observed the day
by holding a reunion of veterans. the A. P. Hill
Camp of Confederates of Petersburg. Va, being
the guests of the Grand Army Post of Springfield.
They had great time in the Massachusetts city.
Ii can now be accepted that the new idea Of
celebrating the Fourth has come to STAY Other
cities next year will follow the lead of those that
have discarded the noisy Fourth, and we shall ali
wonder as the people of New York wonder
ing why the getting away from noise and tumult
and danger did not begin long ago. In VIII
mington we had sufficient number of mishaps
to convince us that the new method of ceebrat-
ing would be better and should be strictly fol-
lowed here.
