You can’t think too much, observes a London Answers writer, “The more the mind does,” says a prominent medical authority, “the more it can do.” Another well known doctor sald re- cently: “In all my practice as a physician | dealing with nervousness and mental | diseases, I can say without hesitation | that I have not met a single case of uervous or mental trouble caused by too much thinking or overstudy. What produces mental trouble is worry, emo- onal excitement or lack of interest in one’s work.” So there is no need to be afraid. The more you think, study or plan, the bet- ter it is for you, because you are traln- ing your mental powers. You cannot overwork the brain as long as you keep it healthy with outdoor exercise whenever possible. Then it will re- cuperate of its own account. It is | worry that destroys the brain—worry, fear, bad feelings and wental idleness. How Ice Is Giving Up Dead. The glaciers and snow fields of Switzerland melted so much during the long, hot summer of 1921 that many long-lost bodies were found, One was that of a guide lost 18 years ago; another a Swiss school teacher who disappeared In 1014, and in as | much as the winter just past has been mild, it seems that many more bodies will be recovered this summer, It is hoped that the remains of Lord Fred- | erick Douglas, killed during Whym- per’s ascent of the Matterhorn in 1865, may be found.

Small Boy: Be- cause charity cov- ers a multitude of sins, Reached His Destination, The steep stairway called “Break- neck St ” connecting the upper and lower towns of Quebec, has been the scene, according to old inhabitants, of incidents both tragic and ludicrous, One approaches this stairway (even with its Twentieth century improve- ments) in tight-lipped apprehension, writes a recent visitor to the French- Canadian city. But in the old days, at the height of its dangerous career, to reach the bottom without accident was an achievement, The tale is still being told of the gentleman who tripped on the sec- ond step, fell, but sild to safety, bearing on his back a lady, who at his tripping had also tripped and In her plight clutched the gentleman's knotted tippet. At the bottom of the stairway the gentleman politely doffed his hat and sald: “Pardon me, madame, but as far as I go!” this is LAND OF DARK SUPERSTITION Throughout His Life, the Moor le Guided by Strange, Sometimes Most Savage Beliefs. One of the first things a traveler no tices in a Moorish town are the “hands,” painted or drawn, on the walls of mu houses and buildings. These are to avert the “evil spirit; five, the naw>er of fingers, is con- sidered a sac ged number, These hands are also wo.g in the form of orna- ments, und sq-ve to keep off the “evil one.” As in Lurope, the horseshoe is frequently seen over doorways, A Moor considers it a great sin to cut bread with a knife, declaring that our hands were given us to break It. The same iden accounts for the sny- ing that “to tread on corn is to tread on angels,” , Offerings of food, hair and other smal! articles are often placed in the trunks of certain trees, and have a quaint significance. As the makers of these offerings are poor Moors with large families, they firmly believe that Alinh will be pleased and will give | them means to support thelr families, Some Moors declare that, after this offering, their children eat less, and, therefore, cost less to keep. At another religious celebration spiked balls are thrown into the alr | and allowed to fall on the throwers’ | heads. The man who appears the | most injured and ferocious is con- | sidered the most truly religious.
