HOMILY ON NER*/OUSNESS.

Some Practical If >.s That Are Drawn by ” Thin” vg Lzoyman.

The most casual glance at the col- umunus of the newspapers betrays the fact that nervous complaints, as re- cently asserted by the medical profes- sion, are greatly on the incréase, Com- parison will demonstrate thatwe Amer- jeans are becoming, if we are not al- ready, the most highly strung and nerv- ox: people in the world.

i-ut nervousness, as expressed by v.:- rious well meaning citizens, seems to be a certain resentment against noise. I am considering the point from the van- tage or disadvantage of a layman. Is mere noise the cause or simply the evi- dence of nervousness? That’s what I want toknow. To be clearer, is mere noise the creator of nervousness, or is the universal complaint of these noises merely the evidence of growing nerv- ousness? Most of the errors of reason- ing, I believe, are from the confusion of cause and effect.

When a letter carrier suddenly and unexpectedly pipes his thin, shrill whis- tle up a vibrant hallway and causes me to start, it is easy and natural to say he makes me nervous. And when an ele- vated train, brakes down, approaches a station, causing every wheel to scream and shriek, it ‘‘sets iny teeth on edge, ’’ and the charge is instantly filed against the railroad company of creating nerv- ous disorders. Whereas, the facts are I was nervous already, and the letter car- rier’s shrill whistle only demonstrated it, and if I had not been a sufferer from nervousness the elevated noises would simply have bad no effect upon my mind whatever. And if I sat down and wrote to the newspapers complaining against all these manifold noises I should only advertise my nervous con- dition to the whole community.

I am aware that I shall run counter to the popular theory when I assert that noises have nothing whatever to do with nervousness. The nervous per- son will jump higher and quicker when silently approached from the rear, being unexpectedly confronted silently in the dark, being suddenly touched by some one till that moment unseen or unheard, or even prove more nervous under con- ditions of absolute silence. It can be easily demonstrated that a man who can sleep like a babe on the line of the elevated road will be awakened at the crow of chickens in the country, and yet be unable to sleep at no sounds at all. The man who is disturbed by the noises of the city is a nervous man who would toss all night on a sleepless couch in the dead quiet of the country. The only reason there is more nervousness is because our mode of life creates nervous- ness. We drink more, smoke more, eat more and gothe pace generally—and then lay it on te noises.—New York

A Host of Witnesses Can Prove That Paine’s Celery Compound Cured Mr. Beechinor. Raised From Helplessness and Weak ness to Health and

Strength. |

cee {

Leid low for years by eciatica and rhen- atism, ani rendered helpless and weak from continued agonies, Mr. J. Beechinor, of Shiloh, Ont., was almost giving up in despa'r. Doctors and their prescriptions and patent medicines had failed, and the fatnre Jooked dark and gloomy.

While deepinthe pit of misery and suffering a bright ray of hope cheered Mr. Beechinor’s heart. There was one medi- cine he kae not tried; it might possibly curehim. That medicine was Paine’s Celery Compound.

Prompted by faith, Mr. Beechinor used Paine’» Celery Compound for a time. This act of faith brought its grand rewards— freedom from pain, pew strength, activity, energy, suppleness and a robustness of health.

Mr. Beechinor’s motive in coming before the public through the newspaper is to benefit rheumatics and all sick people by directing their attention to the only medi- cine that can cure. He writes thus:

*“‘ For five years I suffered from sciatica and rheumatism, at times being su bai that I could not walk or put my hand to my mouth. IfI attempted to do anv work I would becrippled for weeks. I took medical treatment, patent medicines, Turkish and mineral baths, but all failed to meet my case. Some time ago I tried Paine’s Celery Compound, and after using six bottles I feel like a new man, and can do a hard dav’s work and feel none the worse for it. “I have alsu gained in weight, and can say am permanently cured.”

WHY HE FAILED TO LAUGH.

Was Afraid He Would Miss Something &% He Did So.

While a small party of Clevelanders were sbroad last year they chanced to be in an English town of limited attractions, and it Was suggested that all hands attend the theater in the evening to make up for the disappointment of the day. Now, one of the party is a gentleman of somewhat cir- cumscribed notions about the stage and its mission, and it was feared that he might be a little offended at the sugges- tion. But, no; he consented to go with great, apparent willingness, and the party set forth.

The play of the evening was one of those hilarious adaptations from the French, where a staid householder of mature years takes a night off and makes the most of it in an atmosphere of champagne and gen-

~eral« revelry. As the performance pro-

gressed and the fun grew faster and more furious the other members of the party looked at the man with rigid views with considerable solicitation. How would he take it? Would he get up and go out? Might he not even rise from his seat and denounce the performance? But, no; he sat there quietly enough, his face fixed in a look of frozen intentions and his eyes gtaring through his spectacles at the spec- tacle beyond the footlights. However else he might regard the performance, he cer- tainly wasn’t amused. Nota ghostof a sinile crossed his face. The others might laugh and nudge each other, but he sat stolidly through it all to the very fall of the edrtain.

When they were all going down the stains, one of the party had the temerity to ask him how he liked the show, and all the others waited with bated breath to hear his withering denunciation.

‘“Why,’’ he pleasantly answered, “‘it was the funniest thing I ever saw in my life.’’

‘*B-but,’’ stammered the astonished questioner, ‘‘you didn’t laugh. You didn’t even smile.’’

**No,’’ answered the other, ‘‘E didn’t laugh because I was afraid I might lose some of it.’’

And the laughter that followed that sally was far more enjoyable than any- thing the play brought forth.—Cleveland Plain Dealer,

At the Portals of the Unknown. _ On ene occasion only has any really seri- ous attempt been made to explore and in- vestigate the regions situated to the south of the Antarctio circle, and that attempt, incredible as it may appear, was made more than 50 years ago.

Nothing of importance has been under- taken since. Even the portals of this un- known area can hardly be said to have wen approached during that time. Half a century is a long period, especially in this enterprising and adventurous age, when the ever restless and enthusiastic energies of the pioneers of civilization are leaving their indelible footprints over por- tions of the globe that 50 years ago were deemed almost inacaessible, for one par- ticular part cf the world to remain wrapped in the same impenetrable darkness that has surrounded it from time immemorial.

Now, however, the time has arrived when the question of polar research in both hemispheres should be equally con- sidered. ere is still much to be done in the north, and’so long as gallant explorers, like Nansen, Jackson and Peary continue to devote their energies in that direction, we shall not rest satisfied until the entire area of nearly a million and a half square miles has been faithfully delineated on our maps. But itis an indisputable fact that there is much more than this to be done in the south, for there is more than seven times that extent of undiscovered area to be explored, and although the Ant- arctic circle has been pierced in two or three places, our geographical knowledge of that region is not only extremely lim- ited, but may be regarded as purely ccn- jectural. In the Antarctic we have abso- lutely everything to learn.—Admiral A. H. Markham, BR. N., in North American Review.

A Church Story.

Not very many years ago, in a country church in the west of England, the rector, preaching with great earnestness for home missions, took for his text, ‘‘ Feed me with food convenient for me.’’ As he came down from thea pulpit, well content with the effect his eloguence had produced on the congregation, the disturbing thought struck him that he had made no arrange- ment for the collection (sure to be a liberal one on this occasion). Ashe passed through the chancel he whispered hurriedly to an intelligent choirboy, ‘‘Go into the vestry, take the plate you will find on the table, hand it round to the congregation, and then bring it to me.’’ The boy departed on his errand, and the rector took his place within the communion rails and gave out the offertory hymn. ;

The last words of this had scarcely died away when the boy stood before him, a plate of biscuits in his hand, and an apol- ogetic expression on his chubby face. **Please, siz,’’ he explained in an audible voice, ‘‘I’ve handed them all round to ey- erybody, and nobody won’t take none!’’—
