NEVER A PLEASANT FEELING
pie in Different Ways, But 1t Is
Never Welcome Visitor.

The mental state OF a person sur
fering from nerves is very much
like that of man who is wanted by
the police, or who has just heard a
rumor that the ship ON which his wife
and children have sailed has been
sunk in collision, or who has cried
fire" in theater and been thrown
out, and knows his name has been OBJ
tanned by the reporters Very often it
is combination Of all three, with per-
haps the added sensation of a man in
doubt if he closed the safe before leav-
ing the Office
Perhaps some sufferers will disagree
with this and say it is not like that at
all. but rather like having fallen into
a dry well, from which you can hear
the voices Of people passing near by,
but are unable to make yourself beard,
or like having accidentally sslot your
neighbours only child while cleaning
revolver.
The point is that it is distinctly un-
pleasant.
Any bad quarter of an hour that you
may have experienced of uneasiness,
anxiety, guilt, remorse or mortified
ton will give you very fair idea Of
the chronic condition of the so-called
neurasthenic. A good nightmare will
help.
There is nothing about this in the
books. There the symptoms are de-
90
to concentrate extreme depression"
feeling of numbness in the extremi
ties" etc. In a way this is true; just
as it would be true of the men referred
to above. The man wanted by the po-
lice would take little interest in the
shop windows, and the man who thinks
the ship has sunk would not get very
far with a letter arranging the details
Of a business reorganization; and as
for the man thrown out of the theater,
he would probably admit, if brought to
it, that he was profoundly depressed,
None of these individuals would feel
that the books quite did justice to
their feelings. And it goes without
saying that none of them would re-
spond with enthusiasm if brisk per-
son came along and said: What you
need is to get your mind off yourself"
or, What you need is plenty of fresh
air and exercise"
The main thing is that the nervous
victim is suffering severe mental dis
tress. He is not simply "out of sorts"

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1914.

Astrology reads this as rather an
unimportant day in planetary direc-
ton, for, while in the early hours
Venus is in benefic aspect, Uranus is
mildly adverse and there is no strong
government
1t is fairly good day for business
projects in which women are con-
cerned, but care should be exercised
to avoid misjudgment and miscalcula-
ton. There is an influence believed
to encourage deception and to render
difficult perception of character and
motives that actuate important moves
in business
ming any work or for entering into
new business associations Partner
ships and contracts are subject to an
evil leading
There is said to be a tendency.
while this confguration lasts, to make
hasty decisions and to regret them
afterwards. Change of mind is more
frequent than at other times
The seers prophesy that an era of
feminism. in it's broadcast sense, is at
hand. This has been long foretold
and has been scoffed at by skeptics,
but the loss of tens OF thousands of
men in the war is declared to prove
that the prediction will be fulfilled.
Owing to the fact that he new
moon will fall on the cusp of the sew
enth house with Mars and Venus
therein, the prospect of speedy peace
in Europe is not encouraging There

of the world and that of the United
States may be involved, especially in

The new moon for December threat

and terrible railway wrecks. 1t is
also exceedingly bad for royalty.
Death will strike many in high posi-
tion-both men and women-the stars
announce.
Neptune in Leo will cause trouble
for Italy, it is foretold There is also
an ominous sign for the Vatican.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of rather a quiet year. Re
movals and changes are likely to be
unlucky
Children born on this day may be
extremely restless and disconnected
in nature. These subjects of Scorpio
should be taught to guard against
brusqueness, sarcasm and secretive-
ness.

Illness for the king of Spain is
prognosticated. Bronchial catarrh o,
stomach trouble is indicated in hi

by affaire in his kingdom. the seers
foretell.
The stars threaten trouble in the
Ottoman Empire, for Uranus is cul
minating at Stamboul where Mars is
setting. Financial difficulties as well
as foreign hostilities are predicted,
Christians will suffer in certain dis
tricts
Mars is in a respect threatening
Holland. The queen may be seriously
ILL.,
Persons whose birthdate it is have
a fairly encouraging forecast for the
year. Men will be pressed by bust
ness and should be cautious in their
undertakings.
Children born on this day should

they fulfill their destinies.

There is a sway that is held to be
promising for literary work of the best
standard. A woman will gain fame by

Trouble over the breaking of pacts
between nations is foreshadowed Al
lies will disagree, it is predicted.
Mars gives warning of desperate
strife that will be continued until ma

London should benefit before the

Warning is given that frugality and
economy should be practiced by per-
sons in every walk of life. The stars

Residents Of Calcutta have a SIMS

Dancing again comes under in
fuences that will tend to diminish in

claimed much attention. Frivolities
of every sort will become less popu-
lar, the seers declare, but the new
year will be rather favorable for pub

College sports are subject to a pros
porous direction, but this is not
lucky day for feats of physical
strength
Persons whose birthdate it is should
beware of law suits and business dis
agreements. The year will not be sat

Children born on this day probably
will be high-tempered, but endowed
with strong wills that make them per-

Chinese Republic,

Theoretically China is a republic,
but it is hardly believable that it is
such in the sense that this country is.
We may be sure that, despite it's re-
publican name, China is ruled largely
by few men at Picking. Selfgovern-
ment is something that is slowly &C
quired. 1t cannot be brought about in
a day by conventional rulings.

Heard General Sherman Say 1t.

Recently someone who seemed to
know issued a denial OF the prevalent
impression that Gen. w. T. Sherman
said war is hell" J. P. Francis of
Nickerson declares he heard General
Sherman say it. Re writes: Il never
understood that General Sherman used
the term war is heir in any of his or
ders or official correspondence, but did
use the term in a public address at a
soldiers reunion at Columbus, o., in
1880 The writer was seated near the
speakers stand and recollects the oc-
caSion which called the famous ex-
preston from the general. General
Sherman, in his address, referred to a

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER z, 1914.

This is not lucky day, according
20 the reading Of astrology. Saturn is
n a place strongly adverse. while
Jupiter, the Sun and Mercury are all
unfriendly. Neptune is mildly benefic
and late in the day Venus exercises
kindly influence.
The rule today augurs disappoint-
ment and encouragement. Those who
seek favors through the good will of
others will be easily thwarted.

DEAD LETTER OFFICE
IS NOW CLOSED
Decrease in Lost and Misdirected
Mail Responsible For
Closing.

Washington, July 18.-The dead

in Washington is no more. The last
auction sale of old letters and par
ce,s has been held; $4,000 was realiz-
ed; 80 employees were discharged Or
transferred to other departments and
Uncle Sam is conducting his letter

The office was really abolished be-
cause of the big decrease in lost, mis-
direct or unsigned pieces Of mail,
and because letters addressed to per-
sons who cannot be found are more
speedily disposed Of by opening ma
chimes and quick clerks.
But while the dead letter Office Is
to be abolished here the misdirecteu
mail matter in Che future is to be dis
tributed to Is clties throughout the
country. For instance, il a letter is
mailed from Springfield, Ohio, to Al
bany, N. Y. and the Address is cor

ON the envelope the letter will be
sent to Chicago where 1t will be
opened. If information as to the
name of the sender is written there n
the lotter will be forwarded back to
