NERVOUS PROSTRATION.
Nature’s Protest Against Burning ths
Candla at Both End*.
Nervous prostration » a more or
less complete collapse of the nerv
ous system. It occurs when the suf
ferer has urged himself beyond the
limit of his nervous endurance. It
is most common in early or middle
life,. when the nervous system is
most constantly taxed. When it oc
curs in the very young excessive
work at school is usually the cause.
When it comes on later in life it is
because the struggle for existence is
proving too severe.
The breakdown is not always |
caused by actual overwork. Some- j
times it means, in old fashioned |
phrase, that “the candle is being !
burned at both ends.” Only very |
strong people can work hard and
keep late hours as well. The man
of average physical powers must
make up his mind to devote himself
to his work and get his recreation in ;
healthful occupations outdoors. As !
a means of rest and amusement for
the tired business or professional
man nothing is better than a quiet
game of golf—not taken too seri
ously.
Nervous prostration does not de
clare itself without warning. There
are many danger signals. It may be
no longer possible to accomplish the
usual quantity or quality of work
because of impaired memory or loss
of power of concentration; peevish
irritability and a tendency to con
stant faultfinding may appear in a
person formerly equable and se
rene; headaches may return each
day at about the same time—that is
to say, as soon as a certain degree
of fatigue is reached; there may be
nervous indigestion, and tbe sim
plest food may cause distress. In
some cases tbe mental depression is
so great thnt a strong man, at the
least provocation, will burst into
tears like a girl.
Most cases of nervous prostration
could have been prevented if taken
in time. The ordinary man is intel
ligent enough to recognize in him
self the many signs of overstrain,
and there are few so driven by cir
cumstance that they cannot, if they
choose, relax a little and evade the
coming trouble. If another hour is
added to the night’s sleep, another
mile added to the daily walk, an oc
casional day deliberately taken for
complete rest, an interesting hobby
taken up, the habit of worry firmly
checked, the nervous system will
quickly right itself. Worry is the
greatest spendthrift of nervous
force. We should all learn to be as
obstinate about not worrying as we
often are about worrying unneces
sarily.—Youth’s Companion.
Napoleon’s Scholarship.
j Napoleon was a poor speller, and
his bad handwriting gave rise to the
rumor that lie wrote so purposely,
to conceal the fact that he, the
master of Hu rope, could not master
French orthography. In the early
days of the empire a man of mod
est aspect presented himself at
court.
“Who are you asked Napoleon.
“Sire,” said ihc man, “I had the
honor at Hrienne for fifteen months
to give writing and spelling lessons
to your majesty.”
“You turned out a nice pupil,”
exclaimed Napoleon in pretended
anger, “and 1 ought to send you to
jail. However, since it has not
harmed me, 1 will give you a pen
sion.”
Method In His Madness.
A lady walking in a park saw a
boy with a large loaf of bread,
which he was breaking into bits
and throwing to the ducks in the
lake. She paused and asked why
he was feeding them in that fash
ion.
“Because,” lie answered seriously,
“if you cast your bread upon the
waters it’ll return to you after
many days.”
“And do you think your bread
will really come back to you?”
The boy reflected a moment over
the question and then said gravely:
“Well, if it don’t come back to
me 1 shall have a rery good excuse
for sneaking one of them ducks.”
Arabia and Chemistry.
The chemistry of the present day
had its origin in the old time al
chemy, which had for its main in
spiration and object the discovery
of the “philosopher’s stone,” by
means of which the alchemists hop
ed they might be able to effect the
transmutation of the base metals
into gold. Great students of real
chemistry were tlie Arabs of the
twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth
eenturics.
Gounod’s Progress.
“As you advance further in your
art.” said Gounod to a young poet,
“yon will come to think of the great
poets of the past as I now appreci
ate the great musicians of former
times. When 1 was your age 1 used
to say *1;’ at twenty-five I said ‘1
and Mozart;’ at forty, ‘Mozart and
Inow T say ‘Mozart.’ ”
