Yitality-IIigh and Low.

The highest vitality is characterized
by the vigorous and harmonious work
ing of all the bodily organs. There is
connected with it the power to digest
and assimilate food and to transform it
into heat and force; to eliminate freely
all waste products from the system; to
eNpel-within imits--deleterious SUBJ
stances that may find their way into
the circulation through the lungs, stom-
ach or skin; to repair the effects of ac-
cidental injury; and to enjoy, without
painful reaction, the normal activity of
the brain, muscles, senses and natural
appetites.
To persons of high vitality, there is
pleasure in the mere sense of being, and
vastly more in the full and well-bal-
anced employment of body, mind and
heart. There slumbers within them, at
all times, great power of achievement.
They are equal to emergencies, though
so calm may be their life that their
nearest friends may not perceive how
much is in them until those emergencies,
which break down others, may call
them to the front.
A low vitality is the reverse of this.
The person is affected by petty, disturb
ing causes, and readily yields to almost
every deleterious agent. The machinery
is constantly getting out of order, if it
may ever be said TO be in order. The
infant is puny, and, in the majority of
cases, dies within two years. If he
manages to survive. he reaches adult
life in state of chronic invalidism. He
can "bear nothing;;" is dyspeptic, chic
ritic, nervous, hysterical, neuralgia,
peevish and tickle; is easily discour-
aged; attempts little, accomplishes less;
and, if he drags along to old age, often
wishes himself dead, and wonders how
or why he lives.
Now these are extremes, between
which is every variety of grades. The
difference is often matter of heredity.
Yet the best constitution may be
thrown away by over-feeding, sensual
indulgence, passion, anxiety, fret, lack
of diversion, improper food, insufficient
sleep, foul air, over-work of body or
brain, Incidence, or an aimless life. On
the contrary, the feeble constitution, by
care, may be lifted 10 a high grade of
vitality. Parents should know enough
OF physiology TO begin right with their
children; train them to right habits, and
fix in their minds, while still young,
right ideas of morals and hygiene

boot-blacks came in early to get places
behind the stove, " did you want to see
