LIFES STRAIN TO-DAY, THE HAD HABIT OF WORRY,

Dr. Edwin L. 'Ash' lecture at the In- stitute of Hygiene ou "Worry; its cause, | effects, and cure.". At the present time. ho said, there seemed to be more occa sion for worry than ever, befors in the history of living persons. Many, iwleod, were ctable to stami the strain of life at the presunt time. Worry was the dis- erganisation of mind control, resulting in the ser-saw movement of thoughts bick- wards and forwards or round and round as it were, producing an immense strain on the reserves of the system, and gradually undermining the health. The great pran- tical fart which emerged from the study of worrying people was that the worry state was not "bully, a normal psychological. The worrying mau was a sick qua. He might to be grossly ill in the ordinary sense, but he was almost certainly suffer ing from same nervous delibility on the one hand, or some physical disability, such as poisoning, orer-fatigue of organs, in- digestion, anana, and so forth, on the other. Wya's largely a matter of health, het owing to its pornliar connection with the processes of thought it blinded the worrying person to 'the truth of his condition. The one thing he ought to do, namely, to let go and rest for a while, was the one thing he could not do.

To the doctor it was possible to analy remoon forms of the worry state into the groups: (1) The worry" habit; (2) the war wheel (3) worry as a sign of omotional repression. It was quite true that for many peren worry was nothing more than a had habit. Morbid fears and doubts about common happen- ings grew immonecly by a process of suggestion and auto-suggestion until they. tended to obsess the whole personality, For worry of this kind nothing less than 2 Hystematic care of mental training of some kind, aided by self-suggestion, would effect a radical cure. Of course, when persons afflicted by the worry babit got run down they got all the more in- volved in the tangle n their doubting thoughts A regard the second', group it was equally true that, whilst for some people worry was nothing but a Ind habit, or others it was a sign of ill health. The brain tired and the body tired, and then, with debilitated system, the inind was no longer able to exercing- its normal control and decision; so there was a regular worry wheel set in motion. Tired rain and disuntered nerves being! associated with physical ill-health,' anil physical jil health accentuating the fatigue! of the nervous systemi, so, went the morbid process round and round, and the individual who got caught up in this kind form of what of worry wheel (it was t doctors nowadays called vicious cir eles") was unfortunate indeed,”.

A regarded the third group, they were Largely indebted to the researbes of the psychological analysts in understanding ilut in sure the worry state of mind was due to the repression of some emotion that had not been allowed full play earlier in life: Still, however this might be (and it was a fascinating subject), it might be taken as an axiom that the dry stutas due to this kind of process were in the minority. It was sound hygiene of mind and bely on which we must rely to get rid of worry, the achievement of the round mind in the sound body that must be our. ideal. It was much better to prevent worry by common-sense measures than to attempt to cure it by complicated psy chological analyses,

LUCKY NUMBERS. THREE THE MOST Bached and LUCKY.

are

Accrling to all ancient lore, the odd numbers are Dauline, the even feminine; and, in addition, the odd num- bers were in neatly every case the lucky one-a notable and general exception be ing the fatal number thirteen,

The is the sacred and most fortunate of all the bumbers. In Northumberland it is considered very lucky to gather smooth holly leaves on a Friday in a folden handkerchief (ie, with three corners) Nine such leaves tied into the bandkerchief with nine knots, and placed under the pillow at night would ensure prophetic dreama

The numbers four and eight have never beld much significance, being looked upon as mere multiples of a female rumber two, and although five is one of the lucky odd numbers, it has never gathered any Bapentitions. Six is unlucky! At first we are inclined to look upon it as being the doable of the lucky number three, but that was not considered of importance in olden days-the multiple nine, as venerated in the East being the only allowable variation of the sacred three,

Soren in also a sacred number. Accord ing 10 astrology, mau's age,is divided into seren parts, governed by the seven planets The first was infancy (four years), ruled by the moon childhood (ten years), gov- erned by Mercury; youth (eight Jeura), over which Venus presided; adolescence (twenty years), reled by the Sun," when man attains his full strength and vigour; manhood (fourteen years), under the dominion of Mare, a bad star, when man became angry, inpatient, and avaricious; old age (twelve years), governed by Jupiter; and finally decrepitude ruled by

Saturn.

In regard to children, the number seres is thought influential. The seventh son is certain to make his way in the world, and the seventh son of a venth son is cer tain to be an infallible doctor. Thirtees, that fatal number, is a striking exception to the boliet in the lack of odd numbers. It is frequently asserted that this sup erstition arose from the Last Supper of Our Lord, when thirteen were present but the belief is far older than the Christian era, and also infar too widely spread for such an origin to be possible.
