THE GYMNASTICS OF REST.
A PhyiioUn'* Suggestion* to Allerl»te the
Vital WMte of Hurry*
The Edinburgh health lecture was
delivered by Dr. George R. WilBon,
medical superintendent of MaviB
bank asylum, on "The Gymnastics
of Rest."
He said it was the unfortunate
habit of our times to measure the
welfare of the people only "by their
material prosperity and to ignore
their mental distress. The waste oi
human material was greater thaD
ever, the tear and wear of men's
minds Increased, and now, in spite
of all our inventions—nay, because
of all of our inventions—the world
was more than ever in need of rest.
Tho nervous system was contrived
so as to thrive in an atmosphere of
mild impressions, not in one of con
stant shocks and jarB. True, we
could become accommodated to
shocks, to noise and din, but we be.
come accommodated to them only
by using up energy. It would repay
us to get away from noise and din
even for a short time. Just as noise
was to the ear, dinginess and the
dull gray atmosphere of cities were
to the eye our eyes and our brains
were adapted for richer colors than
the life of cities afforded. There
was perhaps a greater evil which
city life brought upon the eye. The
eye itself, and its nerves and mus
cles, was so contrived that in the
natural state—in the state of rest—
we looked at a distance, but by con
stantly looking at objects cloBe at
hand we never gave the eye rest.
It was not easy for older people to
learn new ways, but children should
be taught, whenever a glimpse oi
distance could be had, to let loose
their eyes upon it, to turn to the
horizon and rest.
steps to mental rest waB the ability
to perform the feat—as to the re
quirement of which the lecturer
gave some interesting hints—oi
looking at a distance when there
was no distance to look at and rest
ing the eye on an imaginary picture
of the horizon. A second step to
ward rest was the relaxation of that
tension in the muscles round the
eye, and especially in the muscles
of the forehead, which characterized
men of the city and busy men every
where when they were attending in-1
tently to something which they con
sidered important. A third step was
the teaching of the muscles round
the mouth to "stand at ease" rather
than "at attention." This threefold
process he called "expansion of the'
attention.'' It was a mistake to sup
pose that this whole subject was
stupid. Nothing was more evident
in this bustling age than that most
men and women had not the most
remote notion of keeping their
minds at rest. In play and at work
alike we were "pressing"—to use an
expression from the language ol
golf—nearly all the time, anxious
minded and strained. Passing on to
the subjeot of "hurry," the lecturer
noted that there was a world of dif
ference between promptness oi
quickness and hurry. The differ
ence was that when we hurried we
were anxious minded—we were
"pressing"—and the excessive ten
sion disordered our activities. Next,
speaking of panic, the lecturer offer
ed various hints for "squandering
the attention" by way of minimiz
ing the effect of shocks.
Closely allied to panic, but more
lasting, more chronic, was the vice
of the mind which wo called worry.
Worry WBB an inability to withdraw
the attention from unpleasantness.
It was vice which was rampant
among us—a most reprehensible
vice, because so unnecessary and sc
eaBily evaded. If we practiced what
he had called the gymnastics of rest,
we would never worry. We would
feel pain and distress often enough,
but our minds would not dwell on
the feeling of them.—Scotsman.
Etiquette,
Books on etiquette are always
among the most humorous publish
ed. The humor is usually uncon
scious, but it is there, and ever}
body knows that unconscious humor
is of the most killing variety. All
such books have for their very base
a huge absurdity—the idea, name
ly, that a person arrived at the
years of discretion ignorant of good
manners can be taught them. It is
like prescribing remedies for the
dead. If the patient had lived, the
advice might have been worth lis
tening to as it is, it is a trifle late.
Another humorous aspect of books
on the usages of the most exclusive
society lies in the fact that they are
as a rule written by people who
live in a four pair back. This is
hardly the proper habitat for a
learned commentator on the intrica
cies of behavior at the Patriarchs'
Hall.—New York Post

"You have an iron constitution,

The Razor Shell.
One of the most curious of the
many remarkable forms of marine
life is a species of mollusk called
the razor shell, which can excavate
holes in solid rocks. This oreature
has no English name its Latin
name is Pholas. It is found in wide
ly separated regions of the earth,
but is most plentiful on the coast of
the Mediterranean, where limestone
abounds. It is frequently met with
on the coast of Italy, where whole
limestone beaches are honeycombed
with their holes. It is still a disput
ed point among naturalists as to
how this boring is effected. Some
think that the mollusk secretes
eome acid which softens the lime
stone, but others think that the
holes are bored by the simple mo-
One of the firsl chanical process of grinding. The
preponderance of opinion appears to
lie with the latter view at present,
yet it is said that no one has yet
been able to catch the Pholas at
work.

City Man—I should not think that
