MENTAL LOAFING.

W7HENEvER you read about an old man who doesn't
w look act his years he is usually quoted as
saying something like this,

Likewise. other men, retiring nom business. discover
themselves growing old as as their minds
leased from their accustomed exercise
Any young person study in himself the enervating
physical discomfort that from mental loanng And
there is nothing stimulating to the system than
sustained, purposeful use OF he mind
The Chinese philosopher Confucius when asked how ne
had managed 10 grow old gracefully replied that "in
his pursuit OF knowledge ne did not even perceive
that old age coming on"
His mind too busy with heathful thinking to brood
over the approach Of age The fear OF which hauns the
thoughts and arrests the energies Of many men.
And Cicero the Roman in a treatise on old age wrote.
II had rather be an Old somewhat shorter time
than old before my tme" And to that end he
kept his mind at full stretch like bow and gave
in to oid age by growing slack"
To keep his memory in working condition he would re-
peat at night all he had said or heard during the day
In his old age he supported his energies "by my in
telectua and not my bodily forces For man who s
always living in the midst Of these menta) labors does
not perceive when old age creeps upon him.
These thoughts commended TO the attention Of
Delaware men who perceive themselves growing old and
TO young men who feel themselves growing slack. The
mind s the engine Of the system. Keep Il tuned up.
