CONTROL THE EMOTIONS.
One of the Essential Conditions of
Nervous Balance.

One OF the Essential Conditions OF
Nervous Balance.
Now, then, can the nervous sufferer
help himself? To begin with, he
should ask himself: What is there in
my physical life which may account
for my nervous weakness? Is my diet
sufficient in. quantity and nutritious in
quality? Do l get enough sleep? Is
my work congenial? Is my environ
ment in any degree suited to my tastes
and aptitudeY' These are simple ques-
etions, and yet upon their answer often
depends the possibility of nervous
health or nervous disease. If the suf-
ferer discovers that any of the phys
ical causes of a nervous breakdown
are in operation it is obvious that it is
his first duty to fight against these
causes. to lessen them and If possible
to remove them altogether. In the
next place-and this is especially to be
noted by nervous women-one of the
essential conditions of nervous bal
ance is the control of the emotions
The tendency on the slightest provoca-
ton to give way to a paroxysm OF
tears is dangerous, because it leads to
weakness. bodily and mental. No
doubt there are moments of poignant
agony when tears are natures benefi-
cial provision for some relief to an
overstrained nervous and mental or
ganism. but these moments come at
rare intervals in our lives. and, as a
ruia so far from weakening our men,
tai or moral life, they uplift and purify
it. What nervous people must be
warned against is the tendency to let
themselves go because Of some petty
worry or some slight domestic differ
ence or through some morbid impulse
to self pity.-Rev. S. S. McComb In
Harper's Bazaar.

An Early GEORGIA Monster.

In the fore part of August, 1872, a
party of hunters found in mountain
GUS region now known as Rabun coun-
ty, Ca, being nearly eight feet high
covered with blush hair and having a
human face adorned with immense
ears resembling those of an ass. The
creature was stone deaf and on that
account seemed wholly unconscious Of
the approach of the men. This mon
ster seems, from all accounts, to have
been seen upon several occasions dur
ing the next four years. In 1916 a
number of Adventures from Virginia,
most of them surveyors working up
the unexplored portions Of Georgia
and the Carolinas, formed themselves
into a party for the express purpose
of capturing the uncanny being If pos
sible. They secured the hills and val
legs for several days and at last re-
turned unsuccessful to the starting
point.
The many tales told of this extraor-
binary being seem to have created
quite stir all along the Atlantic coast.
A printed circular issued by land
company in 1915 says, 1.-The climate of
Georgia is exceedingly mild, the soil
productive. and the danger of attack
from uncouth beasts which are repre-
scented as being half beast and half
man are fairy tales not worthy of con-
sideration. "-Exchange.

the Dorado Is Caught.
One of the most interesting of fist
of Japanese waters is the oriental sal
fish (Histiophorus orientalisl. The
generic name. given by DR.. Guenther
means the sail bearer and refers tc
the huge dorsal fin possessed by the
species.
The fin stands higher than the body
above 1t and is used as sail before
the wind. 1t is large fish. ten feet II
length and weighing 100 pounds. They
swim about usually in pairs in rough
and windy weather, with the huge fins
above the water.
1t is a favorite food fish, and the an
nual catch is nearly 100000 pounds
The sail fish is caught by means of q
harpoon.
Another food fish. known as dol
phin or dorado, is sometimes caught II
a curious way The fishes congregate
under a decoy bush and raft made OF
bamboos and are then caught by hooks
baited with squids. or the decoy bust
is surrounded by seine net. and the
dolphins are driven by beating the sur
face Of the water with sticks. This fish
is eaten both fresh and salt and is as
great a favorite in western Japan as
the salmon is in the northeast.-Zoolo

can you say about that?
Joiner scratching his head and try

no harm whatever, and the putty when
it sets hard will be firmer and harder
than the wood. So, you see, it will be
all the better If you wait bit, sir.

EnrIand,a Patron Saint.

The story of England's patron saint
is surrounded by mixture OF truth
and fable which defies definite sitting.
He is generally believed to have been
born at Lydia, but brought up in Cap
padocia. and suffered martyrdom in
the reign of Diocletian. A. d. 3O3. The
legend of his conflict with the dragon
may have arisen from symbolical or
categorical representation of his con-
test with the pagan prosecutors. When
our crusaders went to the east in 1895
they found st. George elevated to the
rank of warrior saint, with the title
of the victorious" and as they be-
lieved that they were indebted to him
for aid in the siege of Antioch they
adopted him as the patron Of soldiers.
Edward Ill. was thus led to make him
patron of the Order of the Garter, and
so gradually ST. George became the tu-
telary saint of England.-London Mall.
