Odors Made Them Afraid

THESE fears are just unaccountable as some of
our particular tastes and distastes and may be
compared to them. Rousseau states that the smell
Of soup always made his mistress, Madame de War
ems, i'll. Erasmus could not smell fish ducks
meat without having fever. Favorti, Italian
poet could not endure the odor of a rose. The
Sight of milk and cheese would cause Pierre Apono
a distinguished physician, to swoon; and the
list might be multiplied almost infinitely. If we
ask such persons among friends why they dis
Ike oranges, bananas, tomatoes melons,
they either cannot tell us, they will fall back
the adage, There is accounting for taste. So
too there is satisfactory explanation for inStlnC
tive fears, despite the efforts of learned professors
to find such.

nervous system, and the very marrow of his bones

the capacity to fear objects and beings which
really dangerous should not be long able to
survive. However, the degree of probability of
being hurt or injured must be taken into consdera-
ton. To be afraid in the presence of real
pending danger is natural and normal; but to go
about with fear of an improbable danger, such
being bitten by dog, while crossing
morbid. These things are possible. of course, but
very improbable, and the mental anguish that is
suffered on account of them is altogether out of
proportion to the amount of real danger Healthy
minded people attend to their daily affairs without
occupying themselves with such fears.
Still another type of fear is that to which Dicks
fear of poverty belongs namely intellectual fears.
These fears provoked not by dangerous
object, but by painful idea of some sort. When
undertake new business enter any field
of activity, torrnented more less with the
fear that shall make bunder and be unable
to succeed. Some emnently successful have
been fairly obseSsed with the fear of failure and the
disgrace that would follow it. Others of a hyper
sensitive nature have morbid fear of rdcule or of
shame. Rousseau, for example speaking in his
Confessions of his baseness in accusing servant
girl of a petty theft he himself had committed.

heavier than the burdens of his companions"
That fear if unfought debase us to towards
and potroons, so that despise ourselves and
hide our faces from the sight of men, is assertion
almost as universally true axiom in geometry
but how successfully to fight the fears that assail
us is the practical question which is answered
too seldom And for sufficient good reason too for
the subject is extremely complicated, involving
factors of various orders In the first place it is
necessary know to what type the particular fear
that is to be combatted belongs, since there
wide differences in the nature of fears. The Nil
ghais fear of the still green water of lake or a
mill dam, for example, belongs to the instructive
type of fears as do the fear of looking up as we'll
down a precipice, the fear of blood, loud sounds,
bright lights etc, for which we can give no adequate
reason. They not fears due to previous
painful experience in lives, they fears
Of impending danger. The born infant is
afraid of falling, not because it has experienced
that falling is painful but because OF deep seated
instinct which is older by countless ages than per-
sOnal experience.
