Cause Of Nervous Breakdown.

When we feel sleepy the drain upon
the nerve cells stops and the heart
has an opportunity TO put them INTO
good working order again. The heart
luckily never gets tired unless we

much of the heart 1t becomes unabl"
to repair the nerve cells properly dur
Ing sleep, and as q result the whole
nervous system goes to pieces.

sTANDARpIzlNo THE NEW
.,... DANCES
The polite and starched world of
the ballroom has been in confusion
The old term dancing master, seems
inappropriate now. The pupils have
driven that potentate from his throne
of authority while they have ruled
the school, dancing anything and ev
erything as seemed good to them
Meanwhile the baffled teachers have
striven to refine and prune the tan
Cos and maxiXes to meet the protests
| raised on aesthetic or moral grounds
But where the pupils of different
schools or different cities nave met
the scene has been one Of anarchy
1t has been particularly noticeable
at the winter resorts. 1t will be
more so when the summer hotel bail
rooms begin to whirl. While one fel
low is castle walking, his girl sixteen
steps backward in a wild swoop the
length of the floor, he runs kei
| funk into another who is universal
schottisching his girl forward and
| back in a lazy rocky motion.
Convinced that these steps mark
a new dance era, the teachers have
now set to work to standardihe them
before next winter, so that typica
forms shall be taught the same In dil
ferent places. The International Ac
ademy of Dancing Teachers has me
at Paris the past week and is worl:in!
to reduce the tango to a universal fig
ure. This very likely will he accept
ed by American teachers.
There are over fifty different wayt
of dancing the one step. Manifest!
a hall where fifty different hgu.cs AZ
being performed to the music OF OF
orchestra will be very much of a pea
garden.
The craze thus has its srotosGn
features. But 1t has served 20 lin
Der up many middle aged people VIII
had supposed that their dancing dav
were over. While many persons d.
the new figures coarsely even the oil
dances were often performed In
manner suggestive of the hammocI

TWO WAYS OF CONDUCTING
POLITICAL AGITATION
Published sy The

While two militant suffragettes
were being tried at Belfast, Ireland,
the other day, their supporters made
such a din that the presiding Judge
could not make himself heard. One
of the defendants hurled gripsack
at the judges head.
Over in this country, no suit cases
have been thrown at any judges.
Nor has even pebble been cast into
any politicians front window, SO far
as this newspaper knows. No blood
has been spilled, though an enormous
quantity of printers ink has been
shed.
In England the suffragists go on
hunger strikes and refuse to eat. Ov-
er here they attack their opponents
at afternoon teas with lavish and
mere or. less indigestible supplies OF
cookies, candy, waters, and punch.
81, 1t all goes to show how much more
p, !effectiYe, printers ink Is than assault
and arson. The suffrage cause Is
making practically no advance In
England. In this country 1t has
gained rapidly and more accessions
are confidently claimed.
Some of our readers will say the
advance is due to the merit OF the
cause. Others will allege that 1t Is
like the case of the unjust judge In
the parable, who granted the petition
because he was tired Of the continual
pleading. But in any event, the rap
id progress Of the campaign in this
country shows the power OF public de-
bate lawfully conducted.
