Man's brain is a sort of human be,
er which is continually producing
words and ideas. The best thing to
do with its products is to apply the
ideas to useful work, to high thought,
to elevating and advancing the worM.
And to use words to express these
thoughts and to aid in the progress of
civilization, advises the New York
World. Some men have more ideas
than words. Most men have more
words than ideas. In either case talk
tends to restore the balance of brain
pressure and to maintain a mental
equilibrium. If this cannot be done
freely and in public the result is hid
den agitation, secret conspiracy and
every little while an explosion of
some kind.
The statistics of the agricultural
department show an increase in 1907
over 1906 of 297,725 horses and mules
in the United States. There are 8,237,
449 more harness-using animals in
the country now than there were 8
years ago. There was a considerable
decline in the export demand for
horses owing to high prices in 1907, the
total beintg 3,608,119, as against $4.
914,999 in 1906. In December last 1180
American horses were exported, as
compared with 1736 in December,
1906. These figures show to the Indi
anapolls News, that the introduction
of motors has not had any injurious
affect on the price of horses, and that
horse raising is as active an industry
is ever.
The highbrows have discoverea that
all nervous diseases are caused by
too much talking. "People silent by
nature are seldom Ill," they claim. "A
large percentage of the victims of
nervous diseases are great talkers,
who discuss imaginary ailments until
they get them." The treatment they
propose of those affected with the gift
of gab is silence, observes the Pitte
burg Dispatch. It includes walks in
cemeteries and visits to deaf and
dumb asylums and other institutions
devoted to silence. There will be spe
cial courses for barbers, street car
conductors, actors and others alcto
with limber maxillaries.
The visit of the real Dr. Koch to
America, the Robert Koch made fam
ous by his study of tuberculosis, is an
event of importance. Here is a man,
declares the Christian Register, who
has set himself at the head of the life
savers who, the world over, are stu
dying to abolish such diseases a mae
laria, yellow fever, tuberculosis, can
cer, and other physical enemies of the
race. The success already achieved
makes it certain that when the knowl
edge of the few becomes the common
property of the many, the pestilence
that walks in darkness will no long
er devastate the world.

Eighty Years Old; Never Voted.
All sorts of men are noted for all
sorts of things, and here is a man
in Rockland, Mass., just deceased, who
was famous for having abstained
throughout his eighty years of life
from casting a ballot. As a boy he
listened to political wrangles between
the Democrats sad Whigs, and became
so disgusted with politics that he
vowed he would never go near the
polls. What a text for a sermon on
the duties of citizenship! Yet there
are thousands of men who are Irri
tated by the evils of politics, and
who would rather keep aloof than mix
ia and help eliminate them. It is so
easy to deplore the wickedness of
politi-fans and to assume the holier
than-thou attitude; it is not so easy
to come out like a man and take a
stand against the politicians. To de
fy bosses and machines in public re
quires etamina.-Providence Journal.
The Freshman.
A "Freshman" at college is a man
'not salted." It was anciently a cus
tom in many colleges (as it is today)
to play practical jokes on the new.
comers. One of the most common
of these jokes was to assemble them
in a room and make them deliver a
speech. Those who acquitted them
selves well had a cup of "oaudle;"
those who barely passed muster had a
caudlo with salt water, while the rest
had the sat water only. Before this
ordeal had been gone through they
were all "Freshmen"-had not been
salted. In the meantime the name,
somehow, stuck to them until they
had finished their firwt year at col
lege, when they ceased to be Fresh
men.-The American.
