MANANA.

Our Cuban friends have to con-
tend against great national handi-
cap-the disposition of their people
to put things off, including, decisions,
until tomorrow. With them manana
is slogan.
Our Mexican friends have been far
from successful as warriors because,
having won a battle, they put off
the follow-up until tomorrow.
Now. having disposed of our
neighbors, let us turn 10 ourselves.
One of the worst mental habits, one
which leads to much mental i'll
health, is that of running away from
situations, and we of this country
are far from being free from this
fault. Called upon TO meet some
situation that is painful, or do a
job that is difficult, we put it off
until tomorrow
We may even go farther than that
and attempt to dodge. duck, pussy
foot, alibi, or in some other way
escape the task. OF course, there is
no virtue in fitting against windmills.
That. too, is a bad mental habit,
leading to mental ill health. But.
assuming that judgment has been
shown and the question is one which
should be met Squarely and with
out delay, to dodge it means trouble.
The appetite to dodge leads to fears
and worry.
Much of mental i'll health and
some physical i'll health result from
fears. Worrly engenders more fati-
que than hard mental labor of the
kind for which men are paid fancy
salaries. Yet nobody draws a salary
for worrying.
Out of the habit of or even the
strong desire to run away from un-
pleasant experiences is born much of
the addition to alcohol, opium and
cocaine. .. .......
Theodore Roosevelt is rightly held
up as model for boys, because, he
developed : himself from frail,
stoop-shouldered, anaemic. near
sighted lad into a bullnecked, broad
shouldered. deep-chested fighting
man. He should likewise be emu
lated because he developed himself
from day dreaming lad into man
of instant decision, retaining just
enough of his day dreaming
qualities to furnish visions and
ideals. People day dream because
in that way they escape the drab
and unpleasant things of their or
binary life and ordinary thinking.

When Alchemy FIourlshed.

The cult of alchemy was at its zenith
during the fourteenth, fifteenth, and
sixteenth centuries, holding the place
with many that religion did with 9TH
ers. People believed implicitly in the
existence of the philosophers stone,
and pinned their faith to its potency
to an incredible extent. 1t was, Of
course. in the great majority of cases,
simply matter Of suggestion accept
ed by those who were on the outlook
for the means Of increasing wealth.
And there were many who drew no
distinction between the philosophers
stone. which was supposed to have
the power of transmitting the base into
the noble metals, and what was called
the elixir of life, substance which
would promote and preserve health
and increase longevity. Thus the APP
peal was also made to credulity
through the desire for health and the
fear Of disease.

OF all the varied means Of masti-

resorted to by man in all chimes and

least harmful and most helpful. That
there Is a physiological demand for

New York Medical Journal, Is shown
by the universally Of the practice Of

the Gulf states, the chicle Of the Mexi-
cans. which. In its American adapta.

chewing gum, man has always felt the
necessity Of chewing something more
than his meals. That there is prac.
tically useful side for this habit Is
evidenced by the orders placed by the
quartermaster Of the United States
army for 100000 packages, OF this
standard American dainty. We learn
from the war department that the
commanding officer Of field artillery
regiment, about to embark, stated that
ESQ pounds Of chewing gum would
take the place of hundreds Of gallons
of drinking water when water was
most needed and least readily obtain
able. The American Red Cross re-
Gently cabled an order for chewing

Measuring the Height Of Clouds.

A scientist attached to one Of the
bureaus at Washington has been en-
gagged in measuring the height Of
clouds by photography. Simultane-
Gus pictures Of cloud were made by
two cameras placed 600 feet apart and
connected by telegraph wires. From
the amount Of displacement Of the
cloud caused by viewing 1t alternately
from each end Of the 600-foot base line
its height could be calculated. Some
of the "mackerel sky" clouds photo
graphed were seven and a quarter
miles high. The loftiest clouds whose
elevation was thus measured belonged
to the type known as cirrus. or @eaRa
cloud" the height Of which was Q Nc
