Shattered Nerve*.
Mas? people complain of shattered
serves. Very frequently this malady
la mused by the overwork of body and
brain. Bad sleep or no sleep at all is
one of the prominent symptoms of
■battered nerves. A weary and yeft
restless feeling during waking houfik
both day and night, is a similar symp-
tom. Successive irritability, instead of
good tempei, la another symptom. A
strong tendency to think the worst of
everything, rather than the best, is
another symptom. A wish for death,
rather than Ufa, with such a state of
body and mind, is not uncommon. A

that the longer you live the older

That is to any, while the esperiatlan

it does not fail away nearly so fast aa
that advance.

WASHINGTON.—The person who
If reaches the age of 95 has lived
long enough. He has no, technical
right to go on living, anyway. Of
course, they nsuaJIy do, last as lota
of people refuse to be Osleriaed at 60,
but they do it at their own risk, so
to speak, and in defiance of a for-
midable array of mortality statistics.
This was the discovery made by
life Insurance interests the other day
when they looked up the “technical”
demise of Brig. Gen. D. H. Eackar
of Washington, father of Mrs. Philip
H. Sheridan. The general haa reached
the hoary age of 96, and being still
hale, was surprised by being informed
by the life insurance concern which
had been carrying him on its books
tor years and yearn that it wu ready
to pay hla claim. v
The action ia declared a startling
innovation fn insurance annals. Legal
experts could not recall any previous
case of such action, at 96 or any other
age. But when they looked op their
tablet of logarithms and trigonometry
they were convinced that the ac-
tion was not only justifiable, but
logical.
These table* showed conclusively
that out of 100,060 individuals at the
promising age of ten Just three may
