DRY EYED MADNESS.
No Actually Insane Person Has the
Power of Shedding Tears.

No Actually Insane Person Has the
Power of Shedding Tears.
One of the most curious facts con-
nected with madness is the utter alb
sence of tears amid the insane What
ever the form of madness. tears are
conspicuous by their absence, as much
in the depression of melancholy or eX-
element of mania as in the utter apa-
thy of dementia.
If a patient in a lunatic asylum be
discovered in tears it will be found
that it is one beginning to recover or
an emotional outbreak in an epileptic.

tual insane persons appear to have lost

feelings which. when pent up. lead to
madness. 1t is one of the privileges Of
reason to be able to weep. Amid all
the misery of the insane they find no

INFECTIOUS DISEASES.
Easy Method by Which One Hospital
Prevents Their Spread,

The power of small glass partition
TO prevent the spread of infectious dis
eases has been known in the hospitals
of Europe for several years, but IS
only becoming recognized in America.
In the contagious wards of the Brook
Ign Childrens hospital glass partitions
about five feet high are placed between
tonishing. In one bed may be a child
with pneumonia. in the next one with
scarlet fever, in the next one with
measles. CerebrOspinal meningitis,
diphtheria and other such diseases may
be represented in the other beds. but
since the installation of the glass par
titiOns no child catches" the disease
that his neighbor has.
And yet the air circulates freely all
around and above the glass partitions.
and one would think that the germs
would spread almost as easily as if
these were not there. Yet experience
has proved that this is not so.
Physicians are revising their views
about the spread of contagious dis
eases through the air. Some are even
ridiculing the fumigation of rooms.
The suggestion is that most of the
pathOgenic germs die very quickly in
the air; that persons must come fairly
close to the patients and be in almost
direct contact with them if they are
to ''catch" the disease. New York

DAMP, DARK DAYS.
And Their Depressing Effects Upon the
Human System.

And Their Depressing Effects Upon the
Human System.
Next time it is dark. dreary day
and you are sure that you have some
really terrible ailment don't worry.
Just cheer up and realize that there is
nothing the matter with you except
that the weather is damp, and the first
sunny day will he sure to set you right.
At least this is the opinion Of Dr.
Rankin, Il London physician, who has
been giving lectures on the subject of
health and happiness. He attributes
most Of the ordinary woes of humanity
to the damp weather and explains his
theory scientifically.
In damp weather." he says, 1.-THE
skin does not perform its functions
properly. Products which should be
thrown off in perspiration remain and
clog the skin. Under ordinary circum-
stances in a normal temperature the
amount of vapOr passing from the skin
reaches thirty ounces per dav. In
moist air the amount passing out from
the skin is reduced to seven or eight
ounces.
'As PRESENTATION contains poisonous
properties. it is not surprising thar
during damp weather these poisonous
properties which are retained in the
body lower the vitality and produce
various temporary ailments"
So it's really 4 comfort to know that
weather it is no sign of constitutional
i'll health. but just the weather.-San

WILLIAM HUSEBYE FOREMAN IN
G. N. YARD MEETS TRAGIC
DEATH WHILE ON DUTY

William Husebye, switch foreman
in the local Great Northern yards, was
struck by an engine about 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning while on duty in
the yard, and died about an hour later
after being removed to the hospital,
without regaining consciousness.
Witnesses of the accident say that
Husebye was standing on,or near, one:
track watching his own switching en-
gine coming up on another track,
when the engine taken from the east
bound mail train number 4, which was
going to the round house struck him
in the back. The engineer saw the
victim of the accident standing on the
track when his engine was almost up
on him. He yelled . warning, which
Husebye either did not hear, or it was,
then too late to prevent the accident,
as the engine could not be stopped in
the short space. He was thrown from
the path Of the engine by the impact.
An examination showed that his back
and shoulders were badly crushed and
brushed, and also injuries about the
head
Train number four is due early in
the morning, but Wednesday morn
ing was several hours late, and did
not arrive until about ten o'clock,
shortly after which time the accident
happened.
William Huseby was a man about
80 years of age. He has been rail-
roading for number of years, part Of
the time near Devils Lake, where his
family lived. He had been employed
in the local yards about two years.
The deceased was Spanish war
veteran, having been member OF
the First North Dakota Regiment in

HORSES AND
LOADLOST
FOUR HORSE TEAM AND LOAD
OFFLAX LOST THROUGH THE
ICE-HEAVY LOSS

Mckenzie Journal: Hugh Myers
four-horse team and large load of
flax went through the ice on the river
at the Brevig crossing Tuesday
evening of last week and the owner
narrowly escaped the same fate. 4
Mr.. Myers, who lives near Berg,
was on his way to White Earth and
reached the river about dark. 1t is
said that all winter there has been an
air hole in the ice near the crossing
and it is supposed that he drove into
it. In addition to the darkness, water
on the ice due to the thaw and rain
of the previous days, made it almost
impossible to discern such places.
A thousand dollars will scarcely
cover Mr.. Myers loss.
