MENTAL influences.
The State Of the Mind Has . Direct
Effect Upon the Body.


effect Upon the Body.
A good deal is said in these days
about the effect of mind on matter In
the way Of the cure Of disease. but
less Is heard about mental influences
IA a cause Of bodily Ills. yet it is an
old truth that the state Of mind has
direct effect on the body. The gloom
and depression caused by worry and
anxiety create a morbid condition Of
the physical system. 1t IS impossible
to feel well physically when the mind
and spirits are downcast. The blood
does not circulate properly. appetite
fails. the head aches. and II these NOR
bid conditions continue more deep
seated ailments are likely to arise, and
cancer may be one Of them.
With many persons q fit Of anger Is
followed BIZ an attack Of indigestion.
Excitement destroys the appetite. bad
news creates nausea. fright causes
faintness. and so on. Violent or de-
pressing emotions always disturb the
equilibrium Of body and mind alike.
This being the case. It Is inevitable
that when these emotions often recuE
or become continuous serious physical
results will follow. The obvious les
son is. then. that mental serenity tends
to healtb-is. in fact, an essentia
element of health-and that instead Of
resorting to mind 'cures" after tht
health IS broken 1t Is wise to preserve
the serenity rs a preventive and safe
guard against disease. - indianapolis

FUNERAL COSTUMES.

Their Extravaganza curbsd by Law at
One Time In England.
Sumptuary mourning laws were for
merly found necessary In England
to restrict the extravagance Of the no
bility and their imitators in the mat
ter of funeral costume. At the end Of
the fifteenth century 1t was laid down
that dukes. marquises and archbishops
should be allowed sixteen yards Of
cloth for their gowns. slopes
(mourning cassocks, and nantes; earls
fourteen. viscounts ttelve. barons
eight. knights six and all persons Of in
ferior degree only two. Hoods were
forbidden to all except those above the
rank Of esquire Of the kings house
hold.
In the following century Margaret.
countess Of Richmond. mother of Hen
~ VII, issued IN ordinance for the
reformation Of apparel for great es-
tates Of women in tyne Of mourn
ings." So 1t seems that men and wom-
en- have met in the extravaganza OF
sorrow.
Even 200 years ago London trades
men found that court mourning seri-
ously affected their business. Addison
relates that Mt a tavern he often met q
man whom he took for an ardent and
eccentric royalist. Every time this
man looked through the Gazette he ex'
claimed, Thank God. all the reigninG
families of Europe are we'll" Occa'
sionally he would vary this formula
by making reassuring remarks respect
ing the health Of British royalists. Aft
er some time Addison discovered that
this universal royalist was colored
silk merchant. who never made a bar
gain without inserting in the agree
ment. "All this will take place as lone
rs no royal parsonage dies in the In
terval."-London Chronicle.
