ABOUT CHEERFULNESS.
1t Depends on Sound Body, and the
Latter Depends on Merry Heart.

1t Depends on Sound Body, and the
Latter Depends on Merry Heart.
The saying Laugh and grow fat is
more than mere apothegm: it is based
upon profound moral and physiological
truth-the close connection between a
cheerful mind and sound body
Ask any observing man, and he will
tell you that the evidence of this init
mate relationship is plainly stamped on
every face he meets. He sees the wan
countenance, the dull eye, the leaden
color alike in the denizen of the slums
and in the listless occupant of fortunes
carriage. If he looks deeper than the
surface, and asks why this is So he sees
in each a restless, gloomy mind; one,
perhaps, bowed down by grinding pow
erty, the other still more depressed by
the weight of riches.
Ask the psychologist, and he will as
sure you that there is between the nerves
of the stomach and the brain a connection
easy to trace but impossible to explain.
Let but a savory odor reach the nostrils,
and all at once, along the whole digest
i've tract, there will be distilled, in
way which no one yet fully understands,
the juices of digestion. Cut these
nerves, and instantly the processes of
natures laboratory cease.
The nervous energy, reused by the
pleasant odor, acts upon the cells of the
brain, and these send, in turn, messages
to those other cells of mouth and stom-
ach which create the needed products.
1t is plain enough. therefore, that to in
sure perfect carrying out of all these
various actions there must exist not
only healthy nerves but healthy nervous
centerS.
AskIhe moralist and he will answer
that only in the most perfect physical
health can we obtain the highest moral
condition, Christianity, the perfect
moral system, inculcates cheerfulness.
1t is Christian duty to care for the
spiritual and moral health: it is no less
duty to care for the physical health
Each affects the other, and without
moral we'll being physical health is inn
possible.
Cheerfulness, then, is natural. 1t is an
absence of disease; it is moral health.
Melancholy is disease; and not only
that, but from the fact that it is an af-
lection of the nervous mechanism, it
breeds disease in other parts of the body.
There is sound physiological warrant,
therefore, for the ancient custom of
feasting on happy days, and it is we'll to
remember that "a merry heart, which,
in general way, ''doeth good like a
medicine" is in particular c. helper Of
digestion. Youths Companion

lady is Miss c. E. Nicolai, a native OF

and passionately fond of music, Miss
Nicolai has had every opportunity for
the cultivation of her voice.

fessor who trains pupils for the operate
stage and who has lately had the lady

the startling discovery that she had

kind during a period of twenty years
were those of Mrs. Howard Paul and
Miss Minnie Briggs, both of whom were
considered phenomenal at the time and
excited comment among musical people
all over the country.
Miss Nicolai, who is a very pretty
stylish brunette, about twenty years Of
age, tells an interesting story of her
struggles with her voice at time when

MOHAMMEDAN POWER.
The Establishment and Extension of Arab
Dominion In Africa.

But the problem of Arab dominion Is
not on the coast at all, but in the in
terror of Africa. On the coast the Eu-
ropean States can make their influence
felt, but it extends no further than a
narrow strip Of land, beyond which bar
barism reigns supreme. And here we
arrive at one of the most remarkable
phenomena OF the age in which we live
and the planet we inhabit. The abo-
riginal inhabitants OF Central Africa are
sayages, sunk in hcathenism, afflicted
by the evils and the weaknesses Of
savage life, and perhaps inferior in
mental and physical vigor to the strong
er races OF mankind. Over them has
passed, like a tempest from the cast, a
horde of men Of another and a stronger
race, which marks them out for slavery
and destruction. The Arab invasion Of
Africa is characterized in every part
to which Europeans have penetrated by
desperat" valor in arms, by an utter in
difference to human life, and. above all,
by an enthusiastic and fanatical belief
in the faith Of Islam. They remind
us of those ardent followers OF the
prophet who, in the first ages
OF Mohammcdanism, bore his blood
stained standard and his intolerant
creed from Spain TO the confines
OF China, and well-nigh overthrow the
faith and civilization Of tho ancient
world. Indeed, if we are not
mistaken, they are the same men
the living inheritors of the pas
sions, the valor and the faith of
the soldiers of Mohammed. Before the
strength of the Christian States they arc
now compelled reluctantly TO bow; but
over the unarmcd and untutored native
races Of Africa they arc supreme Ac-
rurdinTlg. what We are now witnessing
in Africa. since it has been partially
opened to our view, is an amazing rec
rudcsccnce and fermentation of Mo-
hammcdan power on the Congo it is
not the native population, but the blood
thirsty Arab slave dealers, who oppose
the progress of civilization: the natives
ask for protection from these formidable
tyrants. on tho Nile the fierce chiefs
of this new warfare have made khar-
toum a seat Of power and authority over
the neiEhboring tribes. for since the
overthrow OF TIE Egyptian government
in the south they are masters OF the
Soudan. TIL" capture of that important
position, and the defeat and death of the
heroic champion of civilization who per.
iShcd there, were much greater events
than they even seemed to be at the time
they occurred; for they established pow
cr. whether it was that OF the Mahdi or
any other name. which commands the in
terror and the river. Edinburgh Review.
