THE SMlLE CURE
Funny Remedy For Those Suffering From Nervous Breakdown.
A complete nervous wreck may be
too far gone to get i~iii_v benefit from the “smile cure" that has brought. re- lief to so iniiny, but it is worth trying at any rate. _The very suggestion of ti smile for curing frazzled nerves ought io bring a hearty laugh from the pa- tient, it seciiis so absurd. Most per- sons wiio suffer from a nervous break- down either fnke “the cure" at some fashionable resort devoted to the pur- pose or else bewiiii thc fate which keeps theirpursc too "thin" for any indulgence of that nature. The “smile cure," however, is something even the :ibjccily poor can offord, so none can object to giving it a fiiir trial bi-cause of economic reasons. Perhaps ii de- scription of its merits had best be given in the words of a certain college professor who had experienced ii iicrvous breakdown and on regiiinin ” his lic-iiith was questioned by a friend ns fc the remedy.
“l wont. to several of the nerve spe-
ciiili.=t=i," he said, “and I didn't. suc- cecd in getting any lieip. Then by chance I heiird of ri woman, not a physician, who had studied nervous diseases for years and had been very successful in treating them. Some
friends persuaded me to go and see ier. “She began by making me iesm to
'smiic.' You sec I had pot down to such depths flint I couidn't smile. It seemed ns if I had lost all power over the muscles of my fiice. They had become set. They not only expressed the depression I felt, but tiicy actual- ly added to it. -
"I obeyed instructions. I went. home
rind for half nn lionr I stood before the mirror and I praci.ic<>d smiling. Ai first I liiid e. hurd time twistiiig my mouth into a smile. in spite of my- sicif, the muscles would sag. Then I snw that the muscles were actually fighting against me. I kept. on trying and at the end of half nn hour I suc- ceeded iii making ii pretty good imita- tion of a smile. That exercise I con- tinued scvcrai days till I had over- come the rigidity of those facial mus- cles and learned to control them. After a lime I found I could smile iii- inord- at will. \Vlicn I began to be dc- pressed I would smile. Ai. the same time I would resist the deriressing thoughts. The coinbination of resist- ing and the smiling would save ine
Ifroin failing into depression."
How He Broke the Calm.
The ship had lain becaimed in s
tropical sea for three days. Not ii lirentli of air stirred the mirror-like surface of the sea and the sails hung: limp from the ynrds, like drapery curved from marble.
The captain resolved to yvaif. no
longer for wind. Hn piped iid hands on deck and requested. all passengers to come forward.
“I must ask all of you,” he szild,
“to give me every match you liavc."
Wondcringly, all obeyed. The cup-
tnin collected every mutch on th.- ship in this manner. Then lic threw them all overboard-all but one.
Then he took his pipe from his
pocket, and filled it with tobacco. /is crew and passengers looked brcuth- iessiy on, he struck flint one m»iitch- the only one aboard--iiiid attempted to iiglif, his pipe with it.
Instiintly i1 furious gale swept over
the deck. It extinguished the match. but fi1lcd‘the sails and the good ship plungcd'merrily forward on her courw again. The .=iil-rillce had been awful, buf. successful.
` Man as a Machine.
It is a little stiirliing to lcnrn that
man is superior to all mechanisms. In the best. nrtificini machines the efficiency is only 14 per cent. Thi- human machine gives a profit of from 25 ‘to 30 per cent. on the fuel' in other words, on the food con- sumed. A msn nlwziys wastes energy during the first, five minutes of work, Mondiiy’s labor in miin is the worst. and Tucsd:iy’s the bcsf. in the wccli -that is, according to ii. large num- ber of expcriiiiciits mario by a dis- tingruishcd professor. Man, ho con- siders, is more linbie to 1iin.kc mis- takes in the ziftoriioon than in thc morning. Is this the reason banks close curly?-Peai'son's Weciily.

M011 01 Years Are No Langer Going
Into Retirement Because Life’s Work lu Too Interesting to Give Up-Several Examples of Men Who Defy the Mandutg ef Father Time to Stand Aside.
The idea that this age of progress ‘md Bliefd IS taking all the sweetness out of life and, that because of over. la-*fd U_D¢1`Ky. men are dying before their time _seams rather fa.l.lii.c.ic\is when we consider that the wor1d’s greatest work la being d-one by men who have passed the mark that the IfS&1m1St set as the limit of a man's life. The great deeds of the century are being accomplished by youngsters over 60. The energy and capiibiiity of the old miui oi to-day is one of the
features of the nge.
In the olden diiys when "pa" big-
98-YM ".Qri1I1<lpG" nnfl he began to sc-e the 60 mark approzicliing in the neiir future, from for-<-ii of custom, he im. 111c<h11¥»clv 'hung up his mai, of useful- ness and drew his chair up to the flreside to awiiii. with stoic coni- plncency_ the call to the great major. it-y. It is only e. few years ago that i.he_old_ main seemed ihrcatencd with e1_rtincti_0n;_ not only threatened, but his extinction seemed an accomplish- ed fact. Unless e. man was young he was out of the running and di<_ln’f. count any more, but times have changed since then rind most men of to-dey have plenty of youth in them at 60 and they see no reason for quit- ting because s number of vigorous boys and girls, just passing their f»0€I19. call them "gran" for sliori.. If the signs of the times are to be followed it won't be long before men will be just starting to do things
at 00.
Tho new lord mayor of London ir-1
81 years old. The elecfcd savior of
Enlflish Qonservatism, if the world wi let him save it, is Lord Hels- lJ\11'Y. who will never see his 87th birt~i1da.y again. No man under that age was able to put, up half the fight flint Halsbiiry showed and by dint of an absolutely feline facility for dying in the last ditch on any number of occasions and appearing perfectly fresh for the fray the next, mcming he has made, himself the nnquestifm- cd leiiderof his pnrfy. Nor is the resurrection of the old msn confiiierl to politics. Thomas Hardy is very busy these days singing u. play and the world knows Thonms Iiurdy is a good 72 years old. Taking into con- sideration all these facts the old msn has come into his own again.
The past is most re_mnrkabl»e for its
lack of old men of deeds. The men who were doing thingsrall dropped off during the years that come be- tween 50 and 60. In literaliire most, men had done their best and perhaps had died by that age. In politics most leaders rose to their greatest height, at 40 and 45 and died natural or unnatural deaths before they reucli- ed 60. None of the leaders of th French revolution were old men o even comfortably middle-aged. In the days of the renaissance men per- haps spread their activity over a large number of years with a. few exceptions, but even then they dicl not trespass very far on the steep ground that leads to the alilotted three score and ten,
Taking ii look about un it is not
hard to find these wonderful old men for whom the adjective old is far from appropriate. There are many of theni-John Bigeillow, Lord Strath-
conn., the Earl of Hiilsburly, Dr. B. Weir Mitchell, Sir Thomas . Crosby, the new lord mayor of London; Henry Labouchere, former President Eliot., of Harvard; F. Hopkinson Smith and numerous others, all over 70, who urn still at their posts plyixigtlie shuttle of lndustry.
Lord Strathcona, whose life has
been one of adventure and enterprise, af. the age of 91 feels that he is still too young to go into retirement. Ho is mentally and physically as cleat as a bell and thinks nothing of a business trip across the Atlantic in rough weather. Two years ago he was thrown from his carriage and rolled down an embankment for some distance. As soon as he got on his his feet and brushed himself he con- tinued his journey-little the worse for his shake-up. He expects to be still in the harness when he reaches the century mark.
Lord Hiilsbury, of England, the
creat Conservative, is young at B7. He is unquestionably one of the greatest. workers in the Conservative party. Tho idec. of leaving thc field io younger men has never entered his lieiid.
John, Morley, of England, Qie
great. ]`.ibera.l, is 73 yienrs old, and if lic is less violent in his efforts than his antagonist in the lloiise of Lords, the old llnlsbury, lio still promises to be quite na vigorous fn his ad- viinced old nge as the meat Conserva-
tive. It was only three years aizgo thiit. Lord Morley me raised to tie peerage tliet. lie might present. the cause of Liberalism in the House of Lords. Not. only did he Uuderle-kc this work (something of a task, you will agree) at an ago when our fore- futlieru used to sock the chimney corner, but lie still keeps up his

When we compare these ages with
those at which the great men of the past accomplished tlieir -most famous work we cannot but come to the con- clusion that the nge nt. which men are most. vigorous grows later and later.
