John L. sullivan, the pugi ist,

did to get him elf in a condi-

he had plenty of reserve power:
whereas person who has been
trained according to rule, has
little or no reserve force. his

nlushIng Is Not an At.

Blushing is not an art, as many people
are too prone to suppose. Neither is it an
absolute sign Of i'll breeding, as some I'M
kind folk maintain. The fact is, it is Just
as natural for some people to blush on one
occasion as it is for others to turn pale on
another. The same laws Of nature that
govern the one rule govern the other. The
capillaries, or small blood vessels, which
connect the arteries and veins in the body
form, particularly over the cheeks, net
work 50 fine that it is necessary to employ
a microscope to distinguish them. Ordi-
narily the blood passes through these YES
sells in normal volume, giving only the nat
ural tince Of the complexion. But when
some sudden emotion takes possession Of
the heart its action increases and an cleo
tric thrill instantly leaps to the cheeks
This thrill is nothing more than the rush
Of blood through the invisible capillarics;
the color Is nothing more than the blood
Just beneath the delicate surface Of the
skin.
The causes that bring about this condi-
ton in the circulatOry system are called
mental stimuli. They consist Of joy, anger,
shame and the many other emotions. Sud
den horror, remorse or fear, on the con-
trary, influence the nerves which control
the blood vessels and the face becomes
white. Blushing and pallor result from
the sudden action Of the mind on the nerv-
GUS system. So if the mind be forewarned
and prepared for emotions both habits can
at least be partially overcome. But when
the nervous system is highly strung it
would be lifelong, if not futile, task to
endeavor permanent cure.-Philadelphia
