Over Taxation of Brain and Physical
Poyrers—Nervous Expenditure of Our
Daily Lives—A Warning—A Life That
Should Be Abandoned.
IRFew of &Tea|®e how far we are over
taking not only the brain, but all the'
physicial powers, in the mere fact of
keeping up our Aily lives with the ex­
actions of moder§. habits and demands.
In order to maintain these habits and,
gratify these demands we exert oift-
selves to make money at a rate quite
beyond our natural’arid normal poweS;
and then one day everything gives way
and down we go, so many wrecks and
ruins. This is perhaps inevitable from,
the fact of our newness as a coun­
try, < and the unconsciously felt
necessity of being equal with others
in the race where all have had a fair-
start, and so of leaving a fam­
ily provided for. Future generations,:
when the social limits may have become
more fixed, when it may be found all but
impossible to make more money than the
legitimate return for labor gives, will in
a measure remedy this by making the
ceaseless struggle under wliich we labor
today unnecessary and fruitless then.
Perhaps we shall then- settle into the
condition of people in the older coun­
tries who accept their fate, striving just
to do their duty in it, and do not wear
oiit their forces in furious haste to reach
that which is unattainable without such
wastS ; and thus there may in time come
a calmer and stronger race in conse­
quence-of the calmer modes of lifef if in­
deed the nervous expenditure of the
present do not hinder the continuance of
any race at all.
It is said that today we as a people dis­
play more of the result of worry and
strain in our health than is shown by
any other nation. The num her of our

THE WOMAN AND THE TELEGRAM.
NOT WORK, BUT WORRY.
ice, together with a glimpse into a dis­
ordered'household, were both shown at
the Twenty-third street telegraph sta­
tion, near Fifth avenue, oheafternoon.
It was close upon 4 o’clock when a
young woman,' tai If* well dressed and
considerably 'agitated, appeared -there1,
and-seizing a blank wrote rapidly for
a moment before., she stepped over to
the man in chargq.
I “Won’t you hurry that,along as fast
as possible, plqaseiashe said, pushing
the dispatch through.
It was addressed to an office in Nas­
sau street, near Wall. The operator,
used to-this'request;‘took the message
and began the usual annotation.
“Twenty-six cents,” he said, still
jabbing at it with his. pencil...
.... “How soon will it go?” asked the
sender.
’ “At once.”
“It ought to get there before half­
past 4?” she hazarded with arising in­
flection.
“It ought,” assented the operator.
“But will at, do you think?” she per­
sisted.
“If there is no delay at the other
end.”
She paused in the act of putting
4down the money.
“I wonder if a messenger would be
quicker,” she said half to herself.
The operator waited.
, “I’ll be back in a minute,” she went
on, and hurried to the messenger desk.
“What is your shortest time to Nassau
street] near Wall?” she burst out,
breathlessly.
1 ‘We have: done it in twenty-five min­
utes,: Fifty-six,” called the manager,
in anticipation of a quick service.
“Oh, I don’t believe he could get
there so soon as that,” objected the
young woman, as a boy presented him­
self.
“In thirty.he could,” said the man­
ager. -
.J “How would he go?” persisted the
questioner.
“By crosstown car, elevated train
anffa run up Wall toNassau.'”
Still she hesitated. A glance at the
clock decided her. “It’s on the stroke
off 4,” she said, “and the message must
be,delivered before half-past. I think
.the telegraph is quicker,” and now in
frantic haste she returned to the opera­
tor. He was busy with a message, and
two more precious minutes were lost.'
“Send that dispatch just as fast as
you can,” she said when her turn came;
“and do put on it to deliver at once,
can’t you??« .
. - “I’ll rush it,” said the operator.
“Oh, do!” urged the young woman.
“You see how important it is,” and for
"the first time she unkhit her pretty
brows. The operator indulged, too, in
a fleeting: smile. The dispatch read:

How the Russians Eat.
“The Chaumière” in Moscow is cer­
tainly the most luxurious and elegant­
ly appointed restaurant in EuropK“
The large dining hall is a huge winter
garden with feathery and blooming mi­
mosa asa background for the exquisite­
ly served tables. In the middle of this
unique restaurant garden is a great
marble fountain, wherein trout and
other delicately flavored members of
the finny tribe swim in deep, clear
water. When a guest orders a fish for
his dinner he is forthwith conducted
by thé head butler to this novel aqua­
rium and is requested to select the fish
most likèîy to tempt his fancy.
A long handled silk net is then given
to him, and he can, if he pleases, cateh
his fish with sportsmanlike zest and
dexterity, a feat which materially adds
to his enjoyment and general apprecia­
tion of the dinner he is about to eat.
Russians, who are very fond of flowers,
do not relish a repast when the table is
not one mass of fragrant blossoms, and
nowhere else in Europe does one see
such gorgeous table decorations as.
in St. Petersburg or Moscow. Thou­
sands of rubles are often spent for rare
orchids to adorn Hie table of some
wealthy Boyard, and at the dinner given
some time ago by Prince Nariskine to

Among tliepllection of pictures of the
famous Rusin artist and traveler,
Vàsilli Veresihagin, are a large number
of .reproductifs of his former works and
albums of sktehes in Tilrkestan, which
cojintry is bedniing more connected with
Europe éVeryftay. Speaking of Turkes­
tan reçëntlj\Er, Verestchagin said:
“When yo/pass the Ural mountains,

which servei for burning (cooking and

sands in theif place.
“The siepts during spring are cov­
ered with t hitents of the Kirguis, a very
large collectif of tribes occupying the
whole of Ce al ’ Asia.

tion orstH women is not so bad as the
positioisof the women of- the settled pop­
ulation (meaning the tribes residing per­
manency in the cities) of Central Asia.
HOW THEY BUY WIVES.
“Naturally, however, their position is
not to fe compared to that of European
women: The Kirguis woman is always
bought from her parents by her future
husband. As a rule the payments are
made in cattle, as money is scarce among
these people., fl
“A charming and good natured girl
can be purchased for, say "one hundred
horses, ten or twenty camels and a few
hundred sheep, in addition to a large
tent, spine cloth and some money, if the
man
any. Once the price of the girl
is settled upon and one-half or one-third
of the ainount is paid the future husband
can come to the tent of the girl’s father,
and is even allowed to remain there with
her in file absence of the girl’s parents,
but only for a short time.
“When the whole Amount is paid the
husband can take his wife to his own
tent. There in that country, as in
Europe, it is not wise to let the future
husband take his wife without getting
from hiin all that he has promised to
give for-her. 1
‘ ‘ I remember a charming young woman
who was bought by her husband for 150
horses. As the husband was very old
and she was the third wife, and more­
over as she bore him ho children, she
was beaten nearly every day and finally
came to me for consolation. I have a
sketcli of her in one of my albums, and
you will see that she is a most beautiful
woman: Unfortunately, I could not
change her position, and I fear that if
her husband is not dead she is still
beaten every day.
ELECTROLYTIC TREATMENT OF
STRICTURE.
In former years three modes of treat­
ment were used : Bursting, gradual dil­
atation and «cutting the .stricture, The
first is very dangerous; the 'second is
very slow,« and as the tissues are merrily
pushed agide, after treatment is stopped,
the stricture will often contract again.
The third is connected with danger from
the wound, and as the stricture is only,
split in one or two places, dilatation has
to bri pèrfofmèd in addition with, the
same drawback as in the second method.
Gf late years, in Germany .and France
electricity has been used to cure strict­
ures. It has'thè. èhófmous advantage
that it dissolves thè strietùrein its whole
circumference, thug doing away with the
continuous dilatation to prevent it from
contracting again, ft is riot 'connected
