A Good Cry Is Considered the Cure for
Insomnia.

Medical science is rampant just now.
We have been told not to do so many
things that IL we obeyed all u coun-
sellers we should be in a perilous state.
The latest decentralization a Russian
doctor-is that we try not to
blush, laugh or weep much, unless we
want to suffer from insomnia His OBJ
servations nave led him to conclude
that persons who do either of these
three things easily" are more liable
to sleeplessness than others.
. I should like to be told how we are
to help blushing. Is not the timid de-
butante always asking that question,
and asking II in vain? And Is she aflict-
ed by want of sleep? AS regards laugh
ter, I have observed that ervous peo-
pie often have a bad night IL they have
been tempted to excessive hilarity just
before bedtime, but as to the effects Of
weeping l am not sure. 1t has been
said thai h greatest sufferers from
insomnia are the people who rarely
allow themselves the relief OF what we
call "a good cry" but rather let their
sorrows eat their hearts nj in stoical
silence.
One does not lie awake brooding over
a trouble which may be soothed by
tears But now let me give o a
brand-new remedy for sleeplessness-
new. at least. to this country. for II

on all sides II is recognized that, In a

different persons. Every one receives
by inheritance, certain tendencies n
p~eculiarities. Naturally a narrow
chested. understood youth cannot be cx-
pected to become a perfectly developed
athlete. Yet IL is precisely those whose
physical endowment Is below the aver
age that derive the greatest value from
q careful physical training.
As nearly as can be ascertained, pny-
steal Improvement includes an Increase
In height, II a course of training Is
pursued before the age when growth
ceases. An apparent Increase in stat
ure after this period Is to be attri-
buted to a Strengthening OF the spine
and a more erect carriage.
Physical education, In order to be
most effective. should be systematic,
carefully graded. and in all respects
adapted 4 the needs and capacities OF
the Individual.
Its results are apparent not only in
increased ability for physical exertion.
but in freedom of muscular action and
in gracefulness of movement. Properly
trained muscles perform their work
with less expenditure of energy.
While physical training may have
been unduly emphasized in some quar-
tiers, college athletes are rarely among
the drones OF their classes In mental
wok.
The stimulation Of the circulation by
systematic exercise improves the quail
ity OF the loo provided to both the
muscles and the brain. Greater con-
c~entration and more continuous appli-
cation in mental employment are pos
sible because OF physical training.
The hours OF study are not the only
one hat teachers and parents should
supervise. The child should have his
hours Of recreation properly filled. with
no time for absolute idleness.
As has been said already. physical
exercise should be so planned as to
suit the needs OF the individual con-
stitution.
Il has been the custom of n in
structor to prescribe fencing. gymnas-
tics with apparatus. AMI lessons In q
riding school for all those idle persons
whose brain languishes for lack OF
work" But for a child over worked In
school. or for one going through the
mental strain of examinations, aero
bats feats are not appropriate. Walks
and rides offer the simplest and best
forms OF relaxation.
To the sedentary brain worker the
easily mastered exercise of rowing Is q
profitable pastime. while the old games
OF leap frog. prisoners base. and the
like, will always be of inestimable value
among the exercises OF childhood
