What may be called minor degree Of
neurasthcuia j. the indefinite condition
called "ncrvou~ncs>." Sufferers from IL
are not incapaoiiated for business or so
cial duties. nor are they seriously Ill., like
the confirmed neurasthenic, yet their ex-
istcncc is often pitiable one. They are
restless and unable to fix the mind on any
subject, sleep j, disturbed, ana often
there is an iudctinabe lluttcring sensa-
ton within the chest.
They may have good appetite and nos
feel i'll physically. And herein lies thei.
greatest danger. for they persuade thvm-
selves that all they need is a nerve tomb

they dose themselves with various rem

THE MUCH TALKBD-OF CEN
SUS PAPERS.

While :hr audience was still brcathless
ana the tenor was about to take his seat
the pastor arose and announced cheer
fully there would he chicken pie social
in the parIors of the church Thursday
night at which a large attendance was
expected.
There IS a story, not a new one, GER
tainy. ana probably not a true one, hat
one which is applicable, of minister
whose discourse was upon the wonders
OF creation AMI Coils care of the least
as well as Of the greatest of his works
"Whcn God created the mountain. he
made the tiny grain of sand. When he
made a Niagara, he also made the little
dewdrop. When he made the huge Gle
plant, his hand formed the tiny gnat
and when he made me he made a daisy"
In these opinions his hearers may have
concurrcd and may not have.
y Presbyterian minister, writing in an
English religious monthly, gives a few
genuine slips made by the clergy of hi
acquaintance. One of these stories is OF
n young pastor who labored among the
fisher folk of the east coast and who
was much given to metaphors This Sun
day morning he spoke of the soul sailiu !;
out upon the sea of eternity, and he was
almost dramatic.
Look" he cried, Eat yonder ship. The
Blue Peter is at the masthead: the sails
are hoiSted. She rises on the swelling
waters like a swan. And now the anchor
is raised and slung from-from-fr''
Here he paused. while the congregation
every member of which knew ship from
fore to aft, waited with expectant inter
est. From the place where it ought to
be-. he finished desperately. "'E means
we'll said an old seaman after the Scry
ice, but wat can you think of a man as
doesn't know the cats head!
Then there was the brother who gave q
series of sermons on the prophet Jonah
and, coming to the part about the Storm
told with fervent gestures how the sailor,
'rowed and rowed to bring the sea t.
land" This is much like the effort Of
that other pastor who described to his
people the situation of a man who was
hanging over a frightful abyss and ended
with the words, And to him the mo.
ments seemed minutes"
Once a minister in picturing Nemesis
overtaking the guilty spoke of the Sound
of footprints approaching" and was dis
mayed ut the smile which went round.
Yet not all mistakes are mere slips of
the tongue. An old Methodist minister of
blessed memory who preached in central
Illinois twenty-five years ago used re
peatodly to speak of the thousand cattle
feeding upon ten thousand hills" which
is remarkable feature performed all at
once.
But let not the maker of slips worry
too much about them" is the advice of an
old minister, "for it is the really earnest
man who does il most. and for every such
slip there is likely TO have been enough Of
forceful speaking to make an impression
and perhaps to live forever. Chicago
Post.
