spoken rather disparagingly. 1t is the
tendency of the average mind to re-
gard a person who has a pronounced
enthusiasm as species of harmless
lunatic, rather to be pitied. The truth
of the matter is, however, that any one
who has any especial fad is greatly to
be envied. as 1t probably provides more
interest and amusement for its posses
sor than anything else. Any decided
interest in life, whether 1t is dignitied
by the name of an occupation or is sim
ply an enthusiasm, or even mentioned
slightingly as fad. is eminently de-
sirable.

THIS AND THAT.

According to Lady Frances Balfonr,
humble bread winners should not be-
fuddle their brains and waste their
time in envying spoiled earrings OF for-
tune In a recent address before the
students at the College for Working
Women in London she said that the
lives of those who were free to hunt
for amusement as their one object were
the most appallingly dull in the world,
and that dullness of intellect was in
duced by the society round. There
was no one in the world so bored and
weary as the person with nothing to do
but amuse herself; no punishment in
the world so great as her daily business
of pleasure.
1t isn't how long you sleep, but how
restfully you sleep, and how refreshed
you become. The human body is con-
stantly undergoing a system of tearing
down and renewing. Every time you
lose your temper, run for a car, suffer
from physical pain or exert yourself to
any great extent you are drawing on
the body's forces. 1t is during sleep
that the body regains what it has lost
in nerve force and builds up for itself
power and vitality and strength for the
coming day. Even steam engines can
be driven too hard. Steel and iron have
limited endurance. When you stop to
think what a delicately constructed
thing human body is, how many won
derful organs there are, how the brain
tells us what to do land often what not
to do, but we do it just the same), and
how the stomach is the engine that
furnishes the power of sustaining life,
1t must amaze you to realize how much
these bodies of ours can endure and
how long a time they keep in running
order.
