Why Men Go Crazy or en, Ab. séntminded. : Keeping pace with scientific thought and progress certain problems which in the past have been shelved for want of light being thrown upon them have been taken up again one by one to undergo further examination by the aid of improved science. The newest revelation in this direction tends to the science of the mind and includes the following problems: Why does a man act queerly. _sasiec he is intoxicated? Why is a man absentminded on occasions? Why does a man sometimes become violently insane, often a dangerous, : inem, ‘ana the unrorwubare man ‘dies: a ‘There is some relation between extraordinary ‘activity of the mind and. _ insanity. Geniuses are apt to exhibit ‘symptoms of mental: alienation, and, singular to. relate, their children are usually inferior to those of average For instance. not to go out of England for example, Cromwell was a hypochondraic and had visions, Dean Swift inherited insanity and was hims self not a little: mad, Shelley was. call‘ed by his friends “Mad: ;Shelley,” Charles. Lamb went crazy, Johnson was another hypochondriac, Coleridge was a morbid maniac. Milton was of a morbid turn of ‘mind, nearly* approaching insanity (moderd ideas of hades} are largely fornied on the description evolved by -his diseased imagination). and Byron said. he was visited by . ghosts. This mental alienation occurring in the foregoing Cases shows that certain specific groups of brain cells have come under the baneful influence of the guiding spirit called talent or genius, which has used up all the enSoot ‘Smell. it red phere give ntistaction. on sina a ity, inoue Mena; Woaree Pair.

A Hint About Stoves You may, need a new: heating or cooking stove. stock is one of the largest in this part of the State. ‘have the best makes Our i We sold anywhere, and the prices are surprisingly moderate for such stoves. George: E. Turner, ~ Pioneer Hardware Dealer. Such questions as these have puzzled our immediate fathers, who have hardly ever satisfactorily explained them away or indeed thrown much reliable light. upon them. The human brain is composed of. cells, and each cell is a simple bit of nerve substance, from one-end of which, like an octopus, spring a number of tentacles, while from another part arises an arm different from them and of great length. The long arm fs intended for transmitting impressions from one portion of the brain system to another, It being made to touch the tentacles or ‘short arms of the next one to it, the latter in its turn effecting contact with a third cell, and so on. Thus a message is conveyed and the mind gets its*news. The entire brain is made up of, these cells, whose number is legion and whose full strength is grouped in systems, these systems in turn being arranged in communi. ties, the communities in clusters and + finally~ the clusters” in™ constellations, by which divisions they are =o to physiologists. So. long as the mind Is te a healthy . condition each little cell, or brain octopus, attends to its business faithfully and gives no trouble, but as man generally is an animal who usually refuses to live the life spanned out by nature and adopts instead the life laid down by the modern artificial process of living, instituted forsooth by civilization, mental disturbances frequently. arise through the brain becoming abused, in various ways, from = overwork and. alcohol asia gpa . ‘Your octopuslike bramM cell is a living little thing, and it,can endure 8 great deal of abuse from you, but if you should go a little too far it rebels and refuses to work any longer by breaking contact with its companion cells, which it can do by withdrawing its long arm and getting itself out of circuit. But this rebellion is conducted’ by whole groups of cells acting to~ gether in full harmony. Now, the object of this “strike” is simply to avoid overwork, for each tiny cell has stored within its minute space only a certain amount of energy, but if you put on the high pressure this is easily consumed by the operation of the brain, and the organism lreaks down from exhaustion. Now, take the first of the problems just stated. When a person takes too much to drink, the cells in those patches. of the brain that are responsible for the conduct of muscular movement be come affected and the man s@aggers. When the dose is very large, the cells, which, although stupefied, have tried to keep their master on his legs, now cease working, and the man sleeps like one dead. Finally, if more thag enough of alcoholic drink be takem, the effect on the cells is to naralwme of: cells, to the detriment of the whole, with the result that their ceasing work has brought about various types of insanity as depicted or, to phrase it more. softly, induced disturbance of the mental equilibrium. The remaining problem is absentmindedness. This is produced by a temporary disjunction of certain groups of cells). A man becomes 80 absorbed in his study of some particular ‘subject and lends his whole mind to thought that the hard. think‘ing disorganizes the groups of cells employed in the process of reflection their tentacles being: turned all one way, to the detriment of mental action generally, and so the man with the tentacles of his brain cells turned In the one direction passes along the streets lost to all observation or mental}' {nception and does all manner of queer things because he is not conscious of what he fs doing.—Pearson’s Magazine. : He Won the Bet, \ A showman was making great noise at the front of the exhibition of “wonders” he had on show. A man standing in the crowd, with a little dog beside him, cried out: “111 bet you a quid you can’t let me see a lion.” “Done!” said the showinan “eagerly. “Put down your money.” The man placed a sovereign in. the hand of a bystander, and the show may did the same. + “Now walk this way.” said the showman, “and Il soon convince you. There!’ said he triumphantly. “Look tn that coruer at the beautiful Numidian lion.” “} don’t see any,” other. “what's the matter with you?” asked the showman. “I’m blind,” was the reply, and in a few minutes the blind man pocketed the two sovereigns and went away.— London Answers. responded the How She Knew. Speaking of kindergartens for colored children calls to mind the experience of a “befo’ de war” matron who was teaching one of the little darkies: on her plantation how to spell. The primer she used was a pictorial one, and over each word was its “ccompanying picture, and Polly glibly spelled o-x, ox, and b-o-x, box, ete. But the teacher thought that she was making right rapid progress, so she put her hand over the picture and said: “Polly, what does.o-x spell?” “Ox,” answered Polly nimbly. “How do you know that it spells ox, Polly?” “Seed his tail.” replied the ant Pollv sateaaieaeeainced concer is. cured by Hood’s Pills.
