The Craving For Stimulants,

The blood normally contains stimu- lants, and that these stimulants exer- cise a favoring influence on function ard conduce to and may even be a nec- essary factor in the production of the feeling of well being explains the wide- spread liking In man and beast for stimulating substances. This liking, amounting often to a craving, is the expression of a great physiological principle. When health is perfect, when the blood is well provided with its proper stimulants and not over- charged with depressants. there is no craving for extraneous stiraulants, such as alcohol, tea or coffee, but when the bleod is defective in the one or sur- charged witb the other then jis felt the desire for the glass of wine or the cup of tea.

In order to obviate this desire the body should be kept at the highest lev- el of bealth. The more perfect the health the more perfect will be the composition of the blood in respect to both physiological stimulants and dele- terious toxins. A blood properly con- etituted in these and other respects will exercise 2 gentle stimulant action on the nervous system and induce a condition of mild physiological intoxi- cation, which expresses itself in a feel- ing of well being and happiness—a con- dition that cannot be bettered.—Lan- cet.

The Result of Too Much Pathos,

“One day,” says Jean francois Raf- faelli, “Daudet was arguing a point that on the stage it is a roistake to in- sist too strongly on any one form of sentiment, whatever it may be. ‘Lis- ten,’ said he. ‘I recall a little incident which may serve to illustrate my meaning: A woman dressed in black one day entered an omnibus in which I happened to be. She was in deep mourning, and her countenance was 80 worn, so contracted, so furrowed | with grief, that her neighbor could not ‘refrain from asking what terrible sor- 'row it could be that had thus left its ‘marks upon her. | “Whereupon the woman, amid the sympathetic attention of all the little | world in the omnibus, including the ,conductor, who did nothing but blow j his nose so as tc hide his tears, told |how she had lost first one child and | Within a very few days another. Ev- .ery one pitied her greatly, but when \ she proceeded with many tears to tell ‘of the death of a third child her hear- ,ers were somewhat less moved, and | finally, when she launched into a long ‘account of the loss of a fourth—de- ;VYoured by a crocodile on the banks of |the Nile—every one in the omnibus } burst out launching.’ "—New Lippincott.
