Fidgety People.

Although nervousness in some cases is an illness, the acquired habit of worry soon develops into a fussiness that makes everybody about the house want to leave it. It js really a habit, and one that brings,, almost as much pain to the one afflicted - as to those around. The habit of biting the nails in childhood is due to nervousness, and sometimes it remains throughout life. The habit of explaining minutely every small detail is nervousness, and what can be more aggravating than to have things explained with which y<?u are entirely familiar with a painstaking attention to detail that is exasperating. The habit of biting the lips, of elevating the eyebrows, and of continually, drumming the table or chair these are evidences of a lack of will* power to keep still, and in the end are likely to'grow into deformities.
