Senator Tillmau's physicians attrib ute his restoration to health to his trip to Europe last summer, involving a complete change and rest for sev eral months, but the senator, who has opinions of his own, is convinced that I physical culture stunts have done the work, We are sure, however, that both the physicians and the patient are mistaken. a London doctor has made and an nounced the discovery that swearing is helpful to health. According to this n.ore or less eminent authority, when a man is moved to angerv-nnd auger precedes profanity?~he produ ces a surplus of physical energy and subjects his brain to n severe strain. By way of relief he may kick or jump up and down or smash things gen erally, but for a cheap and convenient remedy profanity is recommended on the principal that when greatly Irri tated even birds and animals express their emotions volubly and violently. It is clear, therefore, that our senior senator's proficiency in this art has been chiefly instrumental in relieving him of the physical and mental strain which at one time threatened his health. Mis ability to swear pro fusely and picturesquely has had a tremendous practical value in pre serving and prolonging his life. a few days ago an interview was published in The Record from Sena tor Tlllman, said interview abounding in swear words. Ti e language was characteristic. The senator has a way of repudiating interviews, and even repudiating reports of his speeches, but we are glad to say that the senator has not repudiated even a portion e>f tins Interesting story published in The Record. We feel, howevt r, that i: is only .lust to the st n;.tor to say that while lie has found cussing beneficial to his health, he is not in the habit ol swearing for pub lication, and while we are not in formed that the senator would deny anything in the interview referred to. a grapevine tells us that he did not like icing quoted as cussing for pub lication.?Columbia Record.
