THE OPTIMIST.
It floes one’s heart good to see
him. Ho looks on the bright
side of the picture always.
There may be clouds and gloom
and hardly any hght to be seen,
but he searches f >r it and through
the darkness catches the faint
est glimmer of sunlight that
sparkles the rifts of cloud. Such
a man was the old Greek warrior
whose little handful of men were
being opposed by countless thou
sands of Persian soldiers, and
when the rain of arrows shot by
tliegl’eraian bowmen began to
fall some companion remarked to
tho Greek hero that the 1 arrows
of the enemy were so thick as to
darken the sun. The optimist
replied: “Very well, then we
will tight in the shade.”
Another of the happy ones has
said: ,
“The under Hide of every cloud !■ bright And
shining;
I will therefore turn my clouds about
And Always w ear them Inside out
To show the lining.”
There be people in this old
world who never see anything
but the wrong side of things.
The brightness teems to dazzle
them and they forever are look
ing on the darkened side. There
never is any wickedness brought
tolightbut these mole-eyed people
—yclept pessimists—feel justified
in concluding from this that the
world is altogether bad and there
is no hope for it in all the years
to come.
Now, a man has not to accept
everything that comes along'
all forms of evil—without a pro
test and an effort for better
things, to be an optimist. Ip-
deed, often the true optimist
one who cries out the loudest
against established abuses and
with the whole weight of his in
iluence strives for better things
but always he believes in the
eternal goodness of nature and in
tl e ultimate triumph of right
The hopeful man is never the
one to cause financial panics and
periods of business depression.
These are invariably brought
about by those men who see
nothing but hard times ahead
and ruin like a sword of Damo
cles ever impending over tin
heads of the whole people.
The man with a perpetual
smile, with cheeafulness ema
Bating from him like the beams
from the Bun, scattering gladness
and happiness wherever lie goes;
with a kindly word for every
one, with words of praise breath
ing a s irit of hope foy the dis
couraged ; always everywhere
making his presonce a benedic
tion to his fellows and by his own
love of all that is good and pure
and beautiful and lofty, compel
ling a love for these things on
the‘part of those with whom he
associates, striking the chords of
the the music of life in the heart
of the world, extracting the
sweets from every flower and
casting aside all that is evil and
low and base.
This is the optimist.
LAUGHTER AND DIOESTION.
That a normal mind is really a
basis of good digestion is shown
by the remarkable sensitiveness
of the digestive processes tomenr
tal conditions. Sudden sorrows,
bad news, disaster, great losses
of property or friends, great dis
appointments or worry not only
arrest all the digestive processes,
but even suspend the formation
of the gastric juice.
It has been shown that when
the gastric follicles are distended
and the gastric juices flowing
freely from them when one is
hungry and eating with great
relish, the sudden receipt of bad
news completely reverses the di
gestive processes. The gastric
glands immediately become
parched, dry, feverish, and food
will remain in *the stomach for
many hours with the digestive
prqpesses absolutely suspended.
The digestion seems to be de
pendent upon the condition of
the mind. Often our passing
moods hasten or retard digestion.
We often hear people, especi
ally delicate women who have
nervouB dyspepsia, say that they
do not understand how it is that
they can go out to late suppers,
or banquets ahd cat heartily all
sorts of incongruous foods with
out feeling any inconvenience
afterwards.
They do not realize that it is
due to the change in the mental
attitude. They have had a good
time; they have enjoyed (hem-
selves. The lively conversation,
the jokes which caused them to
laugh heartily, the bright, cheer
ful environment completely
changed the mental attidude,
and, of course, these conditions
were reflected in the digestion
and every other Dart of the sys
tem. Laughter and good cheer
(ire enemies of dyspepsia. Any
thing which will divert the dys
peptic’s mind from his ailment
will improve his digestion. When
they were at homo worrying over
their health, swallowing a little
dyspepsia with every mouthful
of food, of course these women
could not assimilate their food.
But when they were having a
jolly good time, they forgot their
ailments and were surprised af
terwards to find that they had
enjoyed their food. The whole
process is mental.
People who go to health resorts
attribute their improvement to
change of air or to the waters
they drink, when, as a matter of
fact, it has probably been
wrought by change of enviroi •
ment, change of mental sugges
tion, as much as by the chai ge
of air or water.
Spring waters, mountain or 6ea
air, often get a great deal of
credit which is due to recreation
—good, wholesome fun. When
people go away on vacations oi
little outings they go for the pur
pose of enjoying themselves, and,
of c turso, they are benefited,—
