EMOTIONS VS.. HEALTH.
The Effect of Mental Overaction on the
Physical Strength of Girls.

The Effect of Mental Overaction on the
Physical Strength of Girls.
1t is precisely in that natural apti-
tude for emotion, in that type of mind
which is exquisitely sensitive to inn
pressions and generously swayed by
sympathetic feeling, that one of the
great dangers to the perfection of
womanhood, physical and mental, may
be said to reside.
Many and varied influences tend to
increase this emotional excitability I'M
til it often becomes a fixed habit of
mind; an undue sensibllity of the SUI
preme centers to emotional ideas is
created, which can only be maintained
at the expense of sound health of body
and of mind. First among these are
certain home influences that are
brought to bear upon little girl from
her earliest childhood, which foster in
her self-consciousnes and introspec-
| ton.
She is generally permitted narrower
limits, within which she can play, can
dress, can succeed, than are allowed
| to her brother, even when her
physique is equally able. She is
| housed more closely, her out-of-door
sports are fewer and less interesting,
and her dress is two often a limitation
to her freedom. Such restrictions of
her liberty, and constant reference to
| the fact that her sex denies her this or
that employment OF pleasure, tend to
make a child sef-conscious and emo
tionally overactive. Methods of fam
lily discipline which depend upon APP
peals to the emotional natures of chill
| dren have like unhealthy results, for
they promote condition of mental
commotion and unrest harmful to chill
dren, who require an even atmosphere
for the mind as well as for the BODY.
There are often undue claims made
upon little children for the demonstra-
ton of their affections, and this is es-
pecially true of girls.
In paper on Emotional Prodi-
gality Among Children read before a
dental society some years ago by Dr.
&. T. Taylor, it was argued that slim
ulation of the emotions among chill
dren conduced not only to diseases OF
the spine, but also TO dental carries.
| DR.. Taylor says: I'm my large
practice among children, am certain
that scores are literally killed by the
excessive amount of emotional excite
ment which they are forced to endure.
All this hugging and kissing and talk
ing to them is to excite responses OF
| the same emotional nature in the child
for the pleasure and qualification Of the
parents and friends" And again he
says: 81 believe that three-ffths Of
the spinal diseases which occur in chill.
dren are directly traceable to mental
overaction. And this because a large
proportion of these cases get well
without other treatment than with
drawal from the exciting cause of emo
tional disturbance. DR.. Mara Z.

OURreaders will remember that last
June the Kentucky distillers made a
contract together not to make any
whisky for a year, in order to enhance
the price. 1t now transpires that a
number of them have broken this con-
tract, and manufactured whisky,
greatly to their own profit and to the
disadvantage of their more honest
neighbors. A meeting of the associa-
ton was held in Louisville, and Mr..
Herman Beckurts was instructed to
bring. suit against all signers of the
contract who had broken it. This
looks to us little like encroaching
upon mems personal liberty" this
making them "take pledge" not to
carry on their Legitimate business, y
and prosecuting them for breaking it,
but if they can stand it we can. The
effect of SUI CHI strenuous measures was

held a few days ago. the president,
DR. Richardson in the course of his
address, said that "in England and
Wales there were 100000 of people
living either in a state of absolute in
ebriety or of Incorporate habits. and
out of these something like 1900, 200
come under the hands of the police. y
This is indeed a deplorable showing OF
the prevalence of intemperance in
England. and it ought to draw the at
tention other rulers to the necessity OF
doing something to elevate and inn
prove the social and moral condition
of her own population instead of
seeking to crush and degrade the Irish
people. Irish World

HOW TO READ.

Nobody can be sure that he has
got clear ideas on a subject unless he
has tried to put them down on piece
of paper in independent words of his
own. 1t is an excellent plan, too,
when you have read good book, to
sit down and write a short abstract
of what you can remember of it. 1t
is a still better plan, if you can make
up your mind to slight extra labor,
to do what Lord Stafford and Gibbon
and Daniel Webster did. After CLAN
cling over the title, subject, or design
of a book, these eminent men would
take pen and write roughly what
questions they expected to find an
swered in it, what difficulties solved,
what kind of information impaired.
Such practices keep us from reading
with the eye only, gliding vaguely
over the page, and they help us to
place our new acquisitions in relation
with what we knew before.

will find acceptance at Nudes, and
receive from their publishers satisfac-
tory checks. The true romance wri-
ter, to succeed, requires a great deal
more original invention, sense of
situation stronger than the play
wright's, power of conceiying char
acters about whom experience can
tell him nothing, and making them
real figures, and, above all, poetic
imagination. That last is Mr.. Rider
Haggard's secret. He has the gift
of the narrator in the highest degree,
and strong though limited power of
invention; but the quality which
really 'sfetches" his readers, and
makes them draw their breath, is al
ways described by all critics in the
one word, "Homeric. % He is on oc-
casion a poet, and a considerable
one, though he uses prose to produce
his loftiest as well as his ordinary
effects; and poetic power of that
class is given to very few The

NEGRO MYTHS. By DR.. G. G. Jones.
The Book News says: "Take it
all in all, there is nothing which the
average northern man is so ignorant
about as the south, and one is some
times tempted to think nothing about
which he is so determined to learn
nothing. But a slender volume of
dialect verse like 'Befo de War; by
Mr.. A. G. Gordon and Mr.. Thomas
Nelson Page, goes farther to teach
than tons of statistics. Here is a
whole life which is fast disappearing
and an entire round of love and emo
ton strange to all northern concep-
tions, and both on this account things
which no American ought to miss, if
he is really sincere in wishing to know
his own country. DR.. Charles G..
Jones Negro Myths is in a different
direction, but does something to fill
the same purpose, although the negro
story which whipped up so light un-
der the sure touch of Mr.. Joel
Chandler Harris takes rather heavy
scientific shape in DR.. Jones' dialect,
presumably accurate and certainly
painstaking."

DIFFICULTY OF ROMANCE WRITER'S.


The difficulty of the romance wri-
tiers is not any safety in the public,
or any lack of materials, but the ne
cessity which arises in using them for
something of true genius. The fac
ulty of writing social novels is given
to very many who have no genius at
all, but who are struck with the Incl
dents of life, and can make stories
out of them almost as well as old
nurses. They are sometimes very
good stories, or when the narrator
has, like Sarah Tytler, for example,
an exceptionally keen habit of obser-
walton, admirable stories; but their
authors are by no means necessarily
extraordinary people. They must be
able to write fairly interesting con-
versation, to dramatise with some
sense of scenic effect, and to make
remarks of some merit either for
piquancy or pathos, or shrewd obser-
walton; but they need not have much
Imagination, originality is rarely in
them, and poetic power is often a
positive drawback They are almost
sure so to use it as to create the inn
preston of unreality and strain,
which, for example, deforms and
spoils all the best passages in Lord
Lytton's tales. The powers of a
good talker are those which help
them most; and if to them they add
the gift of the narrator, so often
found in the least cultivated, they
