THE MORAL EFFECTS OF HURRY
To the thoughtful the moral censc-
quences Of tension and hurry, are very
saddening; to the physician, their ply
sical results are q matter of profound
concern, for their grave evils come
under his daily observation. No evo-
luton ofjforce can take place with un-
due rapidity, without damage to the
machine in which transformation is
effected. Express railway stock has q
much shorter term of use, than that re-
served for slower traffic. The law is
universal that Intensity and duration
of action, are inversely proportional
1t is therefore, no matter of surprise
to find that the human nervous system
is no exception to the law. The high
er salubrity of rura! over urbane life
is not entirely matter of fresh air and
exercise. Rural life involves leisure
and pause in work, which are very es-
sential to the maintenance Of the ner-
vous system in a state in due nutri-
tion. Unremitting spasm soon ceases
altogether. The high tension of life
produces weakness at the very place
where strength is most needed. The
damage done to health of the most
valuable part of the community; the
best trained thinkers, most useful
workers, is incalculable. Work and
worry, though not proportional, are
closely connected, and an excess of the
former soon entails an increase i'm the
latter beyend the limits which the
nervous system can bear with impuni-
ty, especially under the conditions
which work has to be done. The ma
chinery for organizing the work of a
community has to be rigid and inflex-
idle and in the strain involved in
bringing q changing organism into
hai mOny with machine, the former
must inevitably suffer.-London Lam
Get.
