AMERICAN NERVOUSNESS.

A man OF good habits and regular life,
taking a judicious amount OF rest and
recrea ton. need be none the worse men
tally and physically for a rather intense,
concentration upon the work of his life
while the work Is going on, says the New
Bedford Standard. Some of the world $
greatest thinkers i'm lines where the most
perfect concentration and specialization
were required have been men OF perfect
health and nerves and Of long and Wig
orous life But they have not INDUCED
in fads and follies. their recreatlons have
been simple, they have not undertaken
10 compass the whole field OF human ef-
fort. and they have kept their lives free
from excesses In all directions.
Dr. Wettier thinks that IL Is the contin-
unity % work and worry that do harm
rather than the work and worry IN them
selves. In measure this Is true; but
many persons work for that which does
them no good and worry about that
which II OF no account II they are made
nervous We do not see why the fault
should be charged 10 civilization. In this
respect they are distinctly unciviiized.
