Of the care of lunacy. To put the mat.
ter shortly, ne holds that it is not SO
much that there are more madmen,
but that there are more mad doctors.
Substantially, his case appears very
sound. There can be little doubt that
many men are now put in asylums
who would in previous ages have been
allowed to wander In the meadows or
to play about the streets. There can
be little doubt that many men are
now called insane who in other times
would merely have been called
wicked; and it is possible that many
are now called madmen who in other
times would merely have been called
saints.
The only question is whether this
scientific harvest of all the lunatics
alive is 80 great an Improvement as II
looks. There can be no doubt that
the wise men have come from all the
ends of the earth to- capture the vii
lage idiot. who once danced without
having bricks thrown at him.

One OF the features OF modern

There are hundreds Of women OF

his is neurotic age, and half the
world of men and women not molly
burn the candle at both ends, but In
the middle as well. The strenuous
life is almost necessity to the man
or woman who is ambitious socially
politically or commercially. We are
so anxious to get on" we attempt
to do far more than we are constitu.
tionally At for, and nervous break
down is the inevitable result.
Lack OF repose is a prime factor In
the causation Of nerves." the con-
slant rush in the social and business
world, the frantic pursuit of pleasure
and amusement are frequent precur.
sors Of nervous illhealth We reck-
lessly expend our energy; we have
no time to rest, and nobody listens to
the advocates and disciples Of the
simpler life.
Home life, quiet domesticity are
becoming rarer every year. Simple
pleasures "homely joys" and the
family circle" are ridiculously old
fashioned terms. Is II any wonder
that nervous breakdown and prema-
ture decay are on the increase?
The remedy lies mainly with us
women-our influence can do great
deal, our example more, to counteract
the restlessness and excitement char
acteristic of this age.
We must preach the gospel Of rest.
Hard work nowadays means severe
nervous strain, and the constant APP
plication to bushes asnd professional
affairs demands regular periods Of
quiet and complete rest, IL the work
ers are to retain their health. 1t is
the more important that the home at
mosphere be such as will restore the
balance and lessen the tension of the
inevitable nerve strain outside.
Unquietness in the home, the tyran-
ny of social engagements and world
ly duties" following upon strenu-
GUS working day, gives no opportunity
for repose. The power to be quiet,
the virtue of repose, is worth cultivat-
ing in this age of neurotic women;
the woman who is constantly on the
move, striving after something just
out Of her reach, diffuses an atmos-
phere of disquiet and vulgar unrest
around her. To be busy does not
necessarily mean to achieve; bustling
activity is too often barren Of real
progress.
