SPIRIT AND DRUG TAKERS.
Physical and Psychic Changes That
Grow With tho Habit.

Physical and Psychic Changes That
Grow With tho Habit.
Two marked changes are noted IN all
spirit and drug takers. One OF them Is
physical and is noted by changes In the
face, eyes, tone Of voice, manner OF
walking and general expression and
control. The heart Is irritable and de-
ranged in its action. There are muscu-
lar feebleness, nutrient disturbances,
with insomnia. and unusual emotional
excitement or depression. The general
health, conduct and appearance. as
well as capacity. Of the person are
changed
A second change of symptoms noted
Is the psychic one. The person Is bold
assertive, egotistical or the opposite
His former manner of hopefulnsss OF
depression Is altered. Where he was
frank before. he is now secretlve. un'
truthful, unreasoning. has little respect
for his words and statements. incurs
obligations. asserts or denies emphat
ically matters Of no consequence His
general appearance and pride OF char
acter are lowered.
These symptoms may be unnodced In
the early stages. but later they are
prominent. Both the physical and
psychic are intimately associated with
each other. yet from the very begin
ming there may be marked differences
in the prominence and intensity OF
either one or the other, indicating tht
direction Of the most active degenera
tion.-Dr. T. D. Crothers In Alienis

Colonial FirepIaces.

The early American fireplace was
merely cheap provincial copy OF Eng
lish models Of the same period The
application Of the word colonial to
re-Revolution architecture and deco
ration has created a vague impression
that there existed at that time an
American architectural style. AS
matter Of fact. Colonial" architecture
is simply modest copy OF Georgian
models, and colonial mantelpieces
were either imported from England by
those who could afford 1t or were re-
produced in wood from current Eng
lish designs. Wooden mantels were In.
deed, not unknown In England. where
the use Of wooden architraye led
to the practice Of facing the fireplace
with Dutch tiles, but wood was used
in England and America only from
motives of cheapness, and the archi.
trave was set back from the opening
only because It was unsafe to put IN
inhammabIe material so near the fire.

eh towers and minarets, was engraved
upon the letterheads Of P. T. Barnum
and was the one thing which attracted
Jenny Lind when he wrote seeking to
engage her for an American tour. In
fact, she confessed that 1t was this pic
ture that determined her coming to
America.
Jenny Lind contracted to come to
America In 1910. the Swedish Night
ingale" agreeing to sing at 15o concerts
for S25.OOO. all travelling expenses paid.
After she arrived In America Jenny
Lind asked Mr.. Barnum when and
where he had heard her sing, and upon
receiving the answer that he had never
had the pleasure Of seeing her before
In his life, she asked, "How did you
risk so much money on n person whom
you never heard sing".
"I risked It," galluntly answered Mr..
Barnum. ION your angelic character
and reputation. feeling that you would
please the American public"
Then began Il campaign Of advertis-
Ing to prepare the people for the ap-
peararce OF Jenny Lind. Two hundred
dollars was offered as prize for an
ode entitled "a Greeting to America"
to be sung by Jenny Lind. and the
award was won by Bayard Taylor. No
singer who has ever appeared in the
country has secured more enthusiastic
welcome than Jenny Lind, all because
Of the genius Of p. T. Barnum.-Joe

WHIRL OF THE WORLD.
What Would Happen II Ws Crashed
Into Another World.


We are spinning through space at
the rate Of more than thousand miles
a minute. What would happen were
we to meet another world moving ut
the same speed?
In the first place. the heat generated
by the shock would be so great that
both worlds would be transformed into
gigantic balls Of vapor many times the
size Of the earth today This, however.
might not happen II the inside OF the
earth is composed Of solder and colder
matter than scientists believe It to be.
Although there Is small chance OF
any such aerial collision taking place.
scientists have already calculated the
probable results fairly accurately. One
has expressed the amount Of heat that
would be generated in this way. II
would be sufficient, he says, to melt,
boil and completely vaporize a mass or
Ice 700 times the bulk OF both the COL
liding worlds-an ice planet 10000
miles In diameter.
Scientists have often considered the
possibility that the end Of the earth
would come about In this way.
Certain 1t is that planets as great as
the earth have been destroyed by com.
ing into collision with other huge bod

Appearances Important.

Many farmers do not attach enough
importance to the appearance of
their farms and homes. In the same

general air OF prosperity pervading the
place. On the other hand, the very

nothing, at low cost, that so increases
