Tbue article representee leer ae being so per- petually at this stage of nervous tension that any little mishap destroyed her mental balance, and provoked the ex- clamation: "1 feel as if 1 could perfect- ly fly." Tbe description waa overdrawn of course, for eventhe high pressure of mecism lite ham not yet deprived ;womankind of the power of self control' and the capacity for repose. But it Was suggestive of a cbange which' bas in. ascent years been gradually taking place in mankind, and especially in American mankind, and which prom- ises to become an' insufferable nuisance, For it is not woman alone who is fall- ing into the condition of "perfectly fiying." The change may perhaps best be il- lustrated by the difference between our present' interpretation of the word nervous and that formerly; given it. Fifty years ago it stood for vigor and strength, the nervous man being the strong man, ready for any drain upon his energies. Now it stands for in- validism in greater or less degree for a timidity ewhich shrinks from the rough and tumble of life. No such change of meaning could have occurred without such inerease of nervous weak- ness or derangement as would turn our tbougbt to the present rather than the old significance of the word. And no doubt there has been a marked increase, and that, too, from fairly legitimate causes. Pbysicians tell us that under the rush and pressure of modern life, not only the muscular,but the nervous tissues of men are giving away. Many of them insist that the greater part of the current ills of life are due to this strain, and that unless something is done to relieve it, the race will be- eome invalid, without physical or men- tal stamina. There are good reasons for such a forecast. All our modern conveniences, though intended to matte life easier, really mato it faster and so tend to shorter life than to lengthen it. The business man does not find his labor les- sened by the multiplication of inven- tions for its speedy transaction, but in- creased. The telegraph, telephone, the railway, typewriter and daily newspaper are in a way killers of men. The mod- ern school system, which crams the young brain and leaves the young body largely to care for itself, has much the same disastrous effect. Then with all this overwork comes worry as its na- tural and inevitable accompaniment. There is so much to be done in so short a time that there must be a great deal of feverish anxiety as to results. No one forced to crowd the work of a day into afew hours can work tranquilly, nor avoid a certain trepidation as to the outcome. The result is an income - city for rest, a continued tendency to fuss and fidget until the constitution ceases to have sufficient spring to dis- pose itself for quiet. We live so con- stantly in a flurry of hope and anxi- ety nxiety that we come to be 'distracted by the fear of distractions." We cannot fix our minds long enough on one subject to subdue the unrest within. All this is true of a large and in, creasing class of people, pressed by over- work and overworry. But there is an- other class, also increasing, which has no justification for its claim to nerv- onsness. It is the class which wishes to be thought possessed of such delicate and sensitive organizations that they really cannot be exposed to outward in- rluences, or be expected to stand the give and take of life, They are so delicately adjusted, so, suscepitble to feelings and emotions, that they are al- ways in a condition to "perfectly fly." The trouble with them is, not a weak- ening of nervous tissues, but of mental and moral fibre. They parade their :weakness without sahem,_indeed, take a certain amount of praise to tbem- selves for their candor. No doubt it does take some courage for one to con- fess that he is a fool or a shirk, but it is courage of a good deal higher sort to really have the timidity and dread which comes from nervousness, and yet to hide lt. Ono deserves the more credit for overcoming cowardice when it is constitutional and must be beaten down by sheer force of will. But what can be thought of one who not only makes no effort to beat it back, but makes a virtue of its possession? Yet it is to- ward cerdonataon of this very attitude tont all our flabby consideration for much' of what is called nervousness Mends. Nerves are talked of so much' that we aro coming to excuse their as- sumed victims, as we do the drunkard and the cr1minal, as rather than afflicted deserving withfe sometcomental ntempt. er ing If this assumption is persisted in, the result must be a marked increase of physical -toad moral cowardice, othe ellairking of, the serious duties oflife. An increasing number of people who could be useful' by a deterrnmed effort, will find in this palliation of their use- lessness ma excuse for making no effort at all. The fact is that the more people. hear about nerves, the more they will think themselves nervous, and that if the talk about thein were stopped, or arervousness doomed a disgrace, the plaint would largely die out. Those of as who bate passed middle life will ti member when it was the fashion for ladies to have hysterics, and how slight a eauso sufficed to bring on a fit. But we rarely heat of hystericsnowadays though it cannot be claimed that wo- men are physieally stronger. It is not the fashion to have them, and the feelings are kept ander better control, canditsoes which, ifut.in force now, would largely ebolisn 'nervousness mi both sexes, THE NEWS VI A NUTSHEIL TIIE VERY LATEST FROM ALL mg WORLD OVER, interesting items About Our Own Country, Great Britain, the United ,States, and All Parte e1 the Olebe, Coieensed and Assorted for Easy Reading, CANADA.
