Avoid Habit Of MusInq.

Few habits are more injurious than
musing, which differs from thinking
as pacing ones chamber does from
walking abroad. The mind learns
nothing, and is not strengthened but
weakened, returning perpetually over
the same barren track. Where the
thoughts are somber the evil is doubly
great, and not only time and yigor
are squandered, but melancholy be-
comes fixed. 1t is really a disease.
and the question how It should be
treated Is one Of the most important
in anthropology.-J. W. Alexander.
