THE MODERN NERVES.

the bad in changing their fashion of living" re-
marked a woman Of the olden school recently.
There many excellent ideas and rules in
vogue in my childhood that have been swept away
by the incoming tide Of other manners and
toms. Take for instance. our grandmothers' reg
linen for neaIth founded their knowledge OF
beneficial herbs and the traditions of experience.
We certainly far less to the doctors in those
days. and I think general health better.
At any rate, nerves. which seem. more or less, to
be the root Of all evil in our latter day ailments
were then practically unknown. There a
variety of spring tonics administered to us in a
pleasing form. 1 remember One a large white
porcelain pitcher Of cold sassafras tea standing in
the hall. with glasses around it, which thought
delicious. and Of which allowed 10 drink
ad llbitum. I remember running in
through the wideopen back door from gar
dens. hot and grimy from our congenial toll, and
rushing 10 the pitcher. And how good the cool
aromatic drink tasted, made doubly inviting by be-
ing taken through real drinking straws which our
grandmother laughingly provided US with. saying
that would drink more Of the water in that
way and would take it more slowly!
I suggested to my daughter last spring that
she should start such a pitcher going for the
children but. Of course, she had her own ideas
and II was never done. This year one of her girls

The crimson shields of As- syria covered the pillars of the temple so lately stripped of their gold to buy a worthless truce. Sennacherib re- turned in defeat, to die at the hand of an assassin.
