PntlTTEN It)E TEE DISPATCH. 1
In an invcsti;atin mood I took up the
letters of Cardinal JCewnian, not with the
slightest curiosity on cither side of the
preat controversy with which his name is
identified, but as a fresh study in human
nature, and hygiene. To tell the truth my
languid interest was first attracted by a
passage in hia Italian tra. el, where he re
lates of beinj: cured of a fever by camomile
tea, on which Koinan physicians set great
value. Heading the life of a prelate for
points in hygiene may strike you as trav
ersing the intention of biography, neverthe
less the points were there and plenty of
them. The way excellent peonle of the
highest character and cultivation h3vc
habitually trampled on cverr law of health,
human and divine, the morbid feelings and
views which grow out of this neglect, ami
the moral overturnings and struggles which
ensue will invoke a new system of history.
J. IT. Newman, Cardinal, is of no more
lntcrett than one of a thousand other his
torical personages, bnt little John Xew
raan, wlite father writes him at the mature
age of 5 that "you will observe that yon
mut learn something new every day, or
you will no longer be called a cle er bov,"
the child who is sent to tbe great school of
200 pupils at Ealing v hen only 7, whom
the ma.-ter finds crying by himself when
his father and mother havi left him, and
who creep into our hearts by sweet touches
of childishness, f follow nith sympathy
through life. At 9 h" jots in his pocket
liarr .Mav 4 that he "heard the cuckoo for
the first time," and the 2.1111 that lie "goes
into Ovid and Greek," happily taken too
early to do his ouug mind much mNchief.
ltiflapiice of ills Hooks.
But it is with a pitying smile we read
that "he devoted to such literary exercises
and such books as came in his way a cood
portion of his playtime; and his schoolfel
lows hae left on record that they never, or
scarcely etcr, saw him taking part in any
Came." No wonder that tip to 15 he was so
superstitious as he tavs that he U'-cd con
stantly to cross himself on going into the
dark. " That l.e lay awake mornings in bed
reading Scott's novels is the most boyish
thing told about him. He it as a most affec
tionate, tender-hearted, dutiful child, forced
by the dreadful system of the time, which
demanded that an infant oi be taught to
repeat Latin declensions at the risk of driv
ing its mind permanently askew for life.
Telling achild that he must learn something
new every day on penalty of losing his
credit as a clever boy, is downright immor
ality, and c may thank Scott's novels and
the Arabian Nights, perlmpi-, that little
Xewman was not warped into another such
moral anarch as Auguste Oouitc
It will not be far into the neit century
-when people will ak questionsabout health
of men who head moral innovations and
revolutions. It is notable that the leading
Spirit in the CKford movement was in col
lege so strict that a chun hmember of to
day would consider him a bigot- He t ould
not write a letter for his father on Sunday
or read a newspaper, would not hunt, bhoot,
pp to theater or have a game at cards. This
was matter with his oun conscience. To
follow its diciates can never be anything
That couraieous and praisew orthy in a man.
But whether conscience may not become
tyrannical, and what Baxter calls "a sick
conscience," by the reflex action of an op
pressed, neglected body, is to be more seri
ously considered.
Ills pnps Forsools Him.
Entering Oxford when less than ( he won
scholarship in his seeond J ear, and settled
Airxn to read for honors at the rate of 0 to 12
,-iours study a day tor 20 weeks. It is a
grim satisfaction to learn that at examina
tion he lost his head, broke dov.n, and alter
vain attempts for several days had to retire.
He writes his lather simply, "My nerves
forsook me and I failed." Seven years
later, altera setere course of reading, a
similar attack, wheu he v. as University ex
aminer, oblirred him to give up his office
for mime and leave (xford. This sedentary
life and toilsome application laid the train
for that physical susceptibility which was
the drag upon his life. In hisbusicst rears
he had constant toothache, suffering like a
woman, his eyes repeatedly gave way and
plunged him into despondency. Worse
than this, it must be feared this unnatural
sort of life gate his normal nature, sweet,
pure and sunny as it naturally was, a mor
bid sharpness and proneness to raise subor
dinate points to undue importance.
A specimen of his recreations is the mti
sical party ther" lie was kept playing quar
tets on a heavy tenor from 7 till 1 2. No
wonder he cries out. "O, my poor arms and
head and back:" "When lie goes off for a
vacation with friends, he writes, "their
lightest reading was Cud u orths sermons."
I'piial servitude at Stud)-.
The only exercise we hear of these fag
ging students allowing themselves is walk
ing. "We read of Mozley and AVllberforcr
"racing each other .p the lime groves and
restingunder the Iragrant firs," but Mozley
and "VViiberforee do not seem to be troubled
with doubts and strictures. The picture
Newman gives of "walking to Oxford
through clay field streams and miry roads
about 15 miles, devising a mode of writing
sermons as he went," is anything but an
inspiring one. This sort of penal servitude
at study cannot produce a healthy state of
eouL
1 can recall aglimpe of Miles O'Reilly in
a newspaper office, writing editorials with a
wet towel round his head (it was whispered
after a heavv good time for days), but it
does not sem that the intellectual dissipa
tion of Puscy and Newman is far removed
in point of criminality, with the palliation
that it was a sign of ignorance. That men
of such keen conscience should be guilty of
homicidal habits gives awful weight to
Newman's memora"ble sentence: "No one
can be too suspicious about himself." "Hu
manly speaking," says the Cardinal, writ
ing impersonally, "the tractarian move
ment never would have begun had not New
man been deprived of his tutorship" at Ox
ford. The removal was on account of a dif
ference which a les sensitive man would
have adjusted, giving the Provost his
way at first to resume their own afterward,
and the great religious movement ot the
iuy, which does not seem to have broujht
gains to either side, would have taken the
nature of a development of inward life
rather than secession and revolt.
Acerbity or Keligious leaders.
So much of clay mingles with the clear
est springs of human action that one sees
continually in ecclesiastical difficulties an
acerbity, a rasping disposition, which can
only be accounted for by the very bad state
if temper growing out of the sedentary
lives of religious persons, unrelieved by
diversion of mind or body. How much of
evil is spiritual and how much nerves na
one cau decide till he knows himself under
the best conditions as well as imperfect
ones.
Without going farther in this line of
thought, it may be left to the reader's con
science whether any good man can afford to
neglect the enormous advantage given by
a thoroughly healthy body and nerves, the
vuununLgaHui evil nuu xnurDiu irames,
the freedom from one-sided and over-stringent
views. There was great insight in the
warning which .Newman's father, for all
the son's naturally sweet, candid temper,
felt obliged to give him. "Take care; von.
are encouraging a morbid sensibility and
irritability of mind which may be verv seri
ous. Iteligion, when carried too far, in
duces a menial softness. I have seen many
intanccs of the same kind. "Weak minds
minds into infidelity." To these prudent
warnings his son says: "If I was not con
vinced of the impossibility of changing his
opinion what anguish should I feel!" "Yet
very few years passed," says his biographer,
"before his father's words about-hfm came
true." He was not merely the strictest ot
churchmen, but a believer in spiritual man
ifestations, ghost appearances and creduli
ties of other sorts.
Faults of Popular Diversions.
Driving is the favorite diversion of men
who spend their brains moneymaking, but
it fails to relieve a certain class of maladies
induced by sedentary habits, which end
their careers with months of lingering tor
ture ltoing is good half-way exercise,
not the best for a studious man.'for it does
'not vary position of the day's labor snf-
liciently. uicycle riding is complained ot,
as obliging " a bent position of the
chest, fatiguing and injurious to men
who sit for hours bent over desk
work. Professional men are fortunate
who live in villages where society
is democratic enough and happily poor
enough to make it respectable for every
man to do chores for his own household.
The town lawyer, editor and school teacher
can take their exercise without loing caste,
much to the betterment of their faculties.
Where pavements take the place of or
chards and it is taking bread from a poor
man's mouth to shovel one's own coal, the
fullest relief afforded weary nerves is found in
the late invention of mechanical massage. To
very nervous and suceptible people the idea
of personal contact of a masseur has some
thing unspeakably revolting. Such per
sons can hardly suffer the touch of anyone
except their nearest and dearest,
and not always those, the sense of
personal reserve is bo strong. Personal
magnetism has more or less to do with this
feeling. One could tolerate and enjoy
massage from a Japanese or South Sea
Islander with little more intelligence than
a refined pel animal, and destitute of the
remotest idea of magnetism, but the
civiliz.d masseur, with unhealthv breath
and perpiratiou, and mind saturated with
notions of "giving yon my magnetism," or
senii-sniritistic,niinu-cure hash, who volun
teers to magnetize aglas of water for you to
drink, or to send you magnetized paper by
post to "keep ud the influence," is a
nuisance, aud better ones are rare. I have
risen from tbe hands of such a one with a
sense of unclean influence which soap and
water could not wash away, and which af
fected the nerves for davs. One does not
want anything more in a masseur than a
mechanical movement, and this is best sup
plied in most cases by machinery.
Massage uv Mechanical Means.
The first idea of this kind was the simple
reduction apparatus shown in athletic shops
for bringing down large corporations. Fal
staiTmay bring his prominence to bear
against a set of rollers, which kneaded and
impinged upon his circumference till it re
tired in disgust- But Solomon would have
amended one saying of his notebook and ad
mitted the possibility ot one new thing un
der the sun if he entered the rooms for
mechanical massace. They are spacious,
well furnished as the rooms of a successful
phvsician are wont to be, with a sense of
handsome rugs, fine leather and mahogany,
bright polish and speckless order. There is
an electric motor in a glass case and various
other appliances for faradic and galvanic
currents, as required. A large inner room
is filled with wide, easy, padded lounges of
fine, soft morocco, scrupulously clean and
inviting, but for the strange, formidable
appurtenance which suggest something of
the operating table and surgical appliances.
Persuaded to take a scat in a chair the
least threatening of any in the room, and
place one's foot in an iron rest, with the
leg extended, the attendant touches a key
which controls the current. There is a
chatter of machinery, and the leg is shaken,
hot rudely, but strongly and irresistibly
from hip to ankle with a motion wbien
searches out every fiber in it. It seemed as
if the limb would" be shaken from its socket.
One gets out of the chair feeling about to be
seized with palsy for 15 minutes, a queer
sensation, as if tbe limb masseed did not
belong to the body, a wooden-legged feeling
to winch it took me some time to be recon
ciled in the least. But after the first ordeal
one feels t ery much alive, as if old muscles
had been brought out; and put in use, and
the dust shaken out of one pretty thorough
ly. I find myself desiring to repeat the ex
perience very much, for it gives a tired
scribe all the lively exercise of running on
a hard road, without any personal effort.
Dalance of Nerves and Muscle.
The exhaustion which follows a day of
writing does not always favor active exer
tion. One often is fit for nothing but going
straight to bed, and then reaction sets in.
muscles twitch and nerves ache with the
need of muscular effort to balance that of
brain work, without nervous energy to pro
vide for it. Exercise in which the subject
is passive answers this need, though I
should think a much gentler sort would
often be better than the lively shaking up
I went'through at my first trial of mechani
cal massage.
It has a hundred odd applications, with
apparatus for each. That for abdominal
treatment is the funniest, an ample couch
softly padded, with a depression in the
center where a large ball the size of a 40
pound cannon ball revolves against the ab
domen of a person lying face downward. If
it is at all energetic" as the foot operation,
itmust give the internal economy such a
stirring up and stimulus as would put to
flight obesity, obstructions and incipient
tuberculous formations like a witch
sprinkled with holy water. It must be
energetic in reducing portly fronts.
Mechanical massage has a great future
before it, but like all curative methods, the
price must be lower before it can come in
general use. Three dollars an hour for ex
ercise only a rich man can afford to pay.
At a third the price, establishments would
be making more money. As a cure for dis
ease I should prefer "to pay for electrio
baths and massage than to put myself unre
servedly in the hands of any physician.

A. Rival of Dr. Koch's Discovery.
Dr. Koch's great remedy seems to' prove
efficacious in those cases where the patient
has contracted consumption in low-lying
countries. In almost all the level European
districts where the disease exists it is trace
able to purely climatic conditions, the moist
atmosphere being a fine breeding region for
the microbe. But in the high and dry alti
tude traversed by tbe Union Pacific, the
original Overland Koute, consumption not
only cannot exist but is surely curable in
its earl- stages. And this is testified to by
thousands who have regained health and
strength in the life-giving air of the Colorado
Mountains.
