marriage is, theoretically, that every soul
finds it's companion soul, and lives happily
ever after; and in this romantic search for
companion soul young girls are allowed
to roam about society, just when their in
stincts are the strongest and their reason
the weakest. The French theory-to which
the English is akin, somewhat-is that a
mothers knowledge Is better than a girls
fancy; and that the wisdom that has hith-
erto chosen her teachers, physicians. spirit
ual guides. and companions, that has guild
ed her through sickness and health, is not
likely to fail in selecting the man most

The Effect OF u Girl.
The effect of a social nlesaIiance on n

ought to be so; for she has to sin against

Is always to marry above herself-an in

The Increase of Nervousness I'm Amer

The Increase of Nervousness I'm Amer
lea.
From McClure's Magazine.
Doctor s. Weir Mitchell considers 1t
proved beyond any dispute that nervousness
IS the characteristic malady of the Ameri-
can nation. growing upon them in alright
fully accelerated ratio every year. and
threatening them with disasters at no dis
tant date which the mind shrinks from con-
templating. The number of deaths from
this cause is already appalling. and is stead
lily and rapidly increasing. In some of the
busy centers the tables Of mortality show
that the proportion Of nerve deaths has
multiplied more than twenty times in the
last forty years and that now the nerve
deaths number more than one-fourth Of
all the deaths recorded. What is most
shocking in these returns. this fearful loss
Of life occurs mainly among young people
of both sexes. This means that the Ameri-
cans are fast becoming a very short-lived
people: and that, il they were shut in on
themselves for only a few years, without
any inf. lux of vitality by immigration. the
publication of the census would send a
pang of horror and alarm throughout the
land. Iss
What is the cause Of this? Doctor Mitchell
is clearly of opinion that the first and most
potent cause Is the climate. How or why
the climate of America produces the effects
that 1t does, has never been explained.
Doctor Mitchell says the operation Of cli-
matte conditions in relation to health in
this country is utterly mysterious; but he
is quite persuaded that the development
Of a nervous temperament is one of the
race-changes. which are also giving the
Americans facial. vocal, and other peculiar
tiles derived from none of their ancestral
stocks. Some scientific observers have af-
frmed that there is an electric quality
in the climate here which operates pow
erfully on the nerves, but it is not clear
what they mean by that; and Doctor Nit
cnell, who has probably given the subject
more attention than anybody else. does
not consider the evidence of this electric
egency sufficient to found theory. What
is certain is, that people coming largely
from the phlegmatic races undergo a change
of temperament here, and become excitable
emotionable, and irritable in a degree that
is unknown in ary other part of the world.
Another plainly recognized effect of the
American climate is, that II makes the
strain of either mental or physical labor
much more severe than it is elsewhere.
