NERVOUSNESS IN ENGLAND.

There Is nervous tension in England account of

which sixty batteships, and it is manned by
200 900 men. Nearly all of Germany's naval power
and all her batteships sheltered behind the fort

In presence of greatly superior English force
the German warships naturally decline battle and

battle without fighting the formidable shore fortfca

great service for the allies by keeping the German
warships from the open Nervous popular opinion

The story of Catherine McAuley

was born in Ireland in the late eight
eenth century and at a very early age
was left an orphan. During her girl

she turned to her religion as the

Miss McAuley can marry. She has

TAKING HABIT INTO PARTNERSHIP

When we have once made the
power of habit our partner, it there
after does a large part of our work
for us. 1t carries us every day to our
place of work without our ever even
thinking especially OF It, and 1t not
only brings us to our task, but when
we begin the days routine actually
performs large part of it without
our special thought.
How little we realize what we owe
to this power of habit, which thus
takes such a burden from us and
fulfllls without request or command
so many of the demands made upon
us. When you start in q certain
career you are like a seamstress set
ting a stitch on the sewing machine,
or a machinist fixing the gauge for
this setting. The machine does the
rest. In the same way, habit sets the
stitches, OF fixes the gauge, and after
that the man does the right or wrong
thing almost automatically.
For this reason it Is we'll to "call a
halt" occasionally, as it were, take
stock" to see what habits we are
falling into, to "see ourselves as
others see u.s. and profit by the
vision.

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS

A few drops of prussic acid are

A minute pin prick is made in the
heart wall of still another man and he
dies in ten seconds.
But, as matter of fact, the real
wonder Is not that man dies so easily,
but that he resists death so efficient

odds the most perfect mechanism that
ever appeared on earth. 1t can stand
injuries that would make any man

In this it appears at times to tram
scend and overcome the very laws of
nature. No conceivable injury short
of absolute disintegration Is instant
ly fatal, and there are very few in
juries that necessarily and inevitably
mean death, either at once or in the
course of measurable time.
For instance, consider the case of
the human brain. 1t Is the popular
opinion that major injuries of this
organ mean immediate and certain
death. A man who desires to COM
NIT suicide and wants to make sure
of it commonly places a pistol to his
head and elbows out his brain" And
yet such injury to the brain sub
stance, no matter how terrible it may
be, seldom causes instantaneous dis
solution, and in a very considerable
number of cases fails to cause death
at all.
Men who have shot themselves in
the head commonly live, at least, an
hour or two. The shock of the bull
let striking the brain often produces
instant unconsciousness, but this un-
consciousness does not differ mates

Only when the bullet destroys
those parts of the brain which con-
troll his involuntary functions does
he die with anything resembling sud-

1t used to be believed that any

proofs to the contrary have been COL
