MlwllrccUMl Kinotional Vorcc. "Power Thronith Impose," by Anna Riyson Call, is a little book that onght to be useful to persons who are suffering coder nervous strain. Miss Call tells lis af a German physician who came here to practice medicine, rattan t after pa tient called on him for relief from nerv ous prostration. It was a trouble he had Mat known in Germany, and be thought tbe matter over carefully and finally pronounced the disease "Americanitis." Kearly all in this land suffer from Ameri canitis, and it is Miss CalTs task to tell ' how to relieve it. The "power through repose" which be indicates is simply a relaxation of all the muscles of the body, a simply let ting them go, and falling together as limp as a wet toweL Then new power can flow along oar nerves to our tired rascles, whether of arm, finger or eye, and we can fill up with force again. Aa It is we keep our muscles drawn up into a tense strain most of the time, whether we are using them or not, and so ex haust ourselves and become miserable wrecks along the sands of time. The true way, according to Miss Call, is to use the muscles the occasion demands, and let all the rest be limp and free, with all power withdrawn from them. So shall we conserve our nervous force. But meet of all we waste our forces in misdirected emotional energy. Espe cially this is true of women. Most of the emotions over which they wreck themselves are false and morbid; the suf fering itself and its disastrous conse quences are frightfully real. Miss Call defines the difference between a real emotion and a false and morbid one to be this: If the emotion u genuine and healthful, whether it is pleasant or un pleasant, we shall learn its lesson and gain health and strength of character from it. If on the contrary it is false and morbid it injures the health and weakens the character. So our friends among the young ladies and gentlemen can judge by this token whether their hopeless love is real or false. The writer speaks in one place of the emotional drunks some persons habitu ally indulge in, the wild fits of emotion, hysterics, etc, which seem to give so much pleasure to certain individuals. The name by which these fits are known in colleges is "dry drunks. " The term decribes a state of intense nervous ex citement and want of control This state Miss Call designates as a condition of sham emotion, and she adds: "It has often seemed to me that sham emotions are a woman's form of getting drunk and nervous prostration is its delirium tremens.'' "It is an inexpressibly sad sight to see a woman broken down and an invalid for no reason whatever but the unnecessary nervous excitement of weeks and months of sham emotion." How can one master these sham emo tions, so as to grow strong, self-contained and helpful? Miss Call explains how in a paragraph on mastering the temper: Many of as know the sense of relief which fcUowB a volleys of Indignant words. To say that we can get a far greater and more lasting relief without a word, but simply through re laxing our mnsclca and freeing our excited asrrea, seems tame, but it is practically true, and is indeed the only way from a physical standpoint that one may be sure of controlling a high temper. In that way also we koep the spirit, the power, the strength, from which the tamper cornea, and so far from being tame, Ufa has more for ns. We do not tire ourselves, and lose nervous force through the wear and Mar of losing our temper. To speak express ively, if not scientifically Lot go, and let the sniper slip over your nerves and off. You do ant lose it then, for yon know where it is, and you keep all the nervous force that would have keen used in suppression or expression for katter work. So with a fit of nerves or blues, or chronic grief and despair. Do not resist and try to fight it back; simply "let go." Relax the muscles of your body all over. Then the worry will pass off and out through your nerves. Keep still, that all which Is good may come B you, and live out to others that your life nay brouilen for use. In this way we can take all that nature Is ready to give us, aud will aonstantly give us, and use it as hers and for her purposes, which are always the truest and best. Then we live as a little child would live -only with more wisdom. The Prince of Wales-may possibly get into deeper trouble with the British pub lic than he ever was in beforo, through this gambling scandal. The prince is fond of his little game in a social way, rtrictly between gentlemen, and the young bloods and even some of the old ladies among the nobility have followed uis example and habitually indulged in their little games, too, until the sober British public, although the most loyal of England's subjects, begin to clamor that the prince is responsible for the prevalence of gambling. lie ought to set a better example before his sons. 'All penal sentences for unsuccessful itternpts at suicide are senseless and un just," writes Henry Labouchure. "All imt 1 have commented on, however, are eclipsed in senselessness and injus tice by one passed lost week by E. H. teycester Penrhyn, Esq., who con temned a young woman to three months' Jard labor for throwing horself into the aver, after having been severely knocked ihout by her sieter-in-law." Observe this sentence from The Ne braska State Journal: "The two versions of the battle of Wounded Knee are rad ically different, but the soldiers have a little the advantage in the fact that they were on the spot and raw the whole thing, while the Indiann now surviving were not present. Colorado's irrigation works are doing ' wonders for her in the realization of term crops and the raising of live stock. . When a man is not guilty, why should he run away? A machine has been invented which, it i churned, will extract good binding twine even from banana skins. Indian and German is a queer mixture of blood, yet the Wild West show has in its domcstio arrangements such a mingling. That big chief, Standing Bear, is married to a German wife. It will be interesting to know whether their sons will be more inclined to scalp ing or metaphysics. The step from the sublime to the ridio nlous has certainly been taken by a brother-in-law of Dr. Koch, While the great German professor has been draw ing the eyes of the world upon him by his discoveries in lymph his brother-in-law has been serving out a sentence in the Southern Indiana penitentiary for stealing a watch. Truly we live in wonderful times. When the body of King Kalakaua was sent home to Hawaii a gentleman of combined commercial and sciontifio tantes followed the mourning cortege with a first class phonograph. His idea was to hang around the spot where the funeral services were in progress and turn his phonograph on. Undoubtedly wails and howls of griof would ascend on the air. The phonograph would catch the lamentations and transmit them faithfully, and thus future genera tions would know how his people howled for Kalakaua. This is one better than the classic tear bottle of the ancients. Let us see. How many great men in public office have we in the United States whoso remains would be wept over loudly enough for tho wails to bo caught by phonograph? Tho day seems not far off when Greek will be on a par with Sanscrit as far as tho study of it in ordinary colleges is concerned. Mr. Welldon, head master of the famous English school of Harrow, emphatically advocates abolishing Greek as a compulsory study both in school and college. A singular reason he Offors for this is that it is in tho interests of the Greek languago itself. If Greek is an elective study then only those who are attracted to it from love of it win take it up. Consequently they will become accomplished Greek scholars, while the boys who are pulled into it against their will never reach anything but indifferent success in this language. He would therefore leave it free to attract by a natural elective principle those who would expand and nourish Greek scholar ship. In place of Greek he would sub stitute either modern languages or scien tific study. A College Student's View of It, Mr. Thomas E. Chappell won the pruws for oratory at the Nebraska State uni versity. His oration was on that ques tion over which statesmen and sages have wrestled in vain, "What Shall Be Done with the Negro?" In the confusion of plans for disposing of the African in America, perhaps a young man's idea ii as good as anybody's. At any rate Mr. Chappell's speech was a very good speci men of oratory, and if statesmen and sages north and south could persuade themselves to take his rose colored view of the negro's future they would be saved sleepless nights and anxious days. We print here the close of Mr. Chap pell's oration, in order to encourage young people to try to be orators: The north is no longer an o vers ym pathetic champion of the negro's rights. She is taking a broader view of the situation. She is beginning to sympathize with the south and to consider her welfare as well as Hint of tho negro. The south is now eutcring upon a new era of prosper ity and development. In tho near future, by a union of the labor of the neirro, thocapit&icif the north and resources of the south, she will lead the world in the multiplicity and importance of her industries. She is bcginnlnc to realize hur dependence upon the nejfro. Khe sees that he is peculiarly adapted to her climate and to the labor she needs. 1 n' short, that he is an In separable part of her future greatness. The view that the negro is taking of the situ ation is indeed encouraging, lie is beginning to see that there is no high road to civilisation; that he must ascend the ladder of material, moral and Intellectual progress, as other races have done; that he must "begin at the bottom and make the slow and painful ascent round by round; that no war measnre, no stroke of political power, no amount of legislation will enable liiin to reach the top at a single bound. In UU own words: "We believe that our future deiiciida infinitely more upon ourselves than upon any other agency, it is high time for us to cease following the ignis faluus of politics and to begin the work of development along those linos only on which real progress is pos sible. The politician has long since exhausted his HtorchouMti for us." The thoughts of the negro are no longor upon revenge. His face is turned toward the future -a future full of realization for his noble as pirations. He. full of ho, peering out through the darkest night of oppression, belisvos that even now ho st y, though dimly, the first rays of tho sunlight uf freedom-harbingers of his glad day of liberty. He kuows Uiat his great est foes are Ignorance and superstitutlon. He sees arrayed against him an unalterable color line, the prejudices of his white brethren, and that Aereost of human poasions, raco antipa thy. Hut on the other hand, he musters lor tho conflict patience, endurauco, industry, ed ucation, religion. He sees ujiou his side the hearts and tongues of a vast multitude of loyal nien and women, who are ever arrayed against injustice pious Christian hearts that beat in unison with the pnlsations of freedom in his own breast. He calls up before him that long line of heroes who freely poured out their blood that the tree of liberty might be nour isbed. Tho voices of Harriet Beocher Btowo, of Wendell Phillips and of Abraham Lincoln are still echoing In his oars, urging him on to the contest and to victory. Then iu a transport of tho imagination, ho is carried forward to the cud uf the struggle. The smoke of battlo clears away, and there spreads out before his vision a seune thut gladdens his weary heart. Upon every hill and plain of his beloved country ho son his people living In happy homes, beloved and houorod by all. Ho hears the hum of mighty Industries, and sees his brother taking au honorable share in every branch of produc tion. The land is Ulled with schools and churches In which all mingle Joyfully, without respect to race or color. He sees tho principle of universal brotherhood of man triumphant. He hoi won for himself a osoful and honorable y ssltioa la the govern inont and in society. A Btory on Senator Vt nee, , Senator Vance, of North Carolina, unquestionably the champion story teller of the Senate, has a broad stripe of Calvinism down his back, though he is not a communicant of the Church. It is told of him that riding alone in Buncombe county one day he over took a venerable darkey, with whom he thought he would "have a little fun." "Uncle," said the Governor, "are you going to church? "No, sah, not edzactly I'm gwine back irom church. "You're a Paptist, I reckon-now1 ain't you?" "No, sah, I ain't no Baptist, do most of the brcderen and sisters about here has been under de water." "Methodist then ?"' "No, sah, I ain't no Mcfodis', rud der." v "Camnbcllite ?" 'No, sah, I can't errogate to myseff de Cammelite way oi thinkin. "Well, what in the name of good ness are you, then ?" rejoined the Governor, remembering the narrow range of choice in religions among isorth Carolina negroes. "Well, de fac' is, sah, my old raars- ter was a Herruld of de Cross in de Presbyterian Church, and I fotch up in cm laitn. "What! You don't mean it ? Why, that is my church." 1 he negro making no comment on this announcement, Governor Vanee went at him again: "And do you believe in all of the J?resbyterian creed ?" " V es, sah, dat I docs." "Do you believe in the doctrine of presdestination ?" "I dunno dat I recognize de name. sah." "Why, do you believe that if a man is elected to be saved he will be saved, and that if he is elected to de damned he will be damned ?" "Oh, yes, boss, I believe dat. It's gospel talk, dat is." "V ell, now, take mv case. Do vou believe that I am elected to be sav ed ?" The old man strangled for a moment with his desire to be respectful and polite and then shook his head dubi ously. "Come, now, answer mv question." pressed the Governor. "What do you say r ' "Well, I tell you what 'its. Marse Zeb; Ise ben libin' in dis hyah world nigh on 50 years, and I nebber yit hyard of any man bein' 'lected 'dout he was a candidate." From the New York Tribune. Do You Cough? Don't delay.
