Necessity of Firm Emotional Control


Prolonged anxiety, continuous fret and
worry as 10 the state OF the health OF body
or mind at length produce the actual disease
SO long dreaded. The attention. zsaiously
trained In one direction. sends there an un-
due amount OF blood and nervous energy.
The real mischief is created which has been
SO long anticipated Actual changes do oc-
cur as a result Of fearing them. In the
course OF all epidemics the death rate is in
creased In the. same way. Hence the danger
Of not controlling the influence OF
every thought, Of not keeping In
due subordination every suggestion Of the
imagination. Of not strangling in their birth
every unhealthy impression. The process OF
firm mental and emotional control, could
it be carried out, would probably deprive
the world of many Il work Of fancy and OF
genius, but the amount Of Suffering would
Ue very greatly diminished.

Fashionable Dogs in New York.


In all probability the fox-terrier this year
will be the fashionable favorits, though the
bulldog holds his own steadily. Fox-ter
riers Of the proper breed are rare, and that
Is what makes them fashionable. Pug-dogs
have entirely lost caste In the fashionable
world, but the bulldog Is q much ad dmired pet.
The proper thing in bulldogs Is very small
and pure white, though an occasional black
spot may be allowed. TIE preference Is
sometimes expressed for dogs with a dash Of
terrier blood, as bull-terriers are somewhat
less fierce than the pure-blooded bulls But
to be absolutely right, the dog should be
fnll-blooded, with bow legs, short nose, viii
lsinous scowl, and stubby tail. They are
much better than the sickly poodlss and
timorous spaniels. so long in vogue Bull
dogs, no matter how much they may be
pampered or over-fed, always retain the
qualities Of courage and fidelity.
