RELAXATION.
Relaxation is, good for all of us. For most? of us it is indispensable if we wish to preserve our usefulness and even our existence. Tension and strain have become so much a habit that we are apt to carry them even into our amusements —to travel, to play golf, to dance with the same passionate, exhausting ardour that we give to the business of life. Seek, therefore, to acquire, the habit of relaxing by pure will (advises a writer in an exchange).. Learn to throw yourself down, by day or by night, and, just for a few moments, absolutely ease all 1 strain, forget all pressure, no matter how overwhelmingly urgent it may appear. Make the mind a blank, make the nerves and muscle soft, flexible, to perceive how fi;reat and unnatural is the state of strain in which you commonly live. If you learn the secret of relaxing at will—and it can bo learned—you will not only live longer and far more happily, but you will do more work when you do work, and the work will be better done.
