Nursing Own Opinions
By DR. CHARLES H, PARKIIURST.
Ths average wan It more Riven to

what particularly
concerns htm. Hla

Iderebly a matter
of accident. He la
likely to absorb hta
opinions from his
parenta. Emerson
expressed It In his
terse way by sav
ins; that "every one Is a quotation from
his ancestors." It la easier to take opln
lohs that to make them, just as It Is
, easier to Inherit money than It Is to
earn It.
Or It may be that he breathes In his
ideas from the atmosphere of the times.
Certain notions are floating; in the air
and caught up In the process of respira
tion. Opinions also take their shape and com
plexion from one's natural temperament.
It is easier to go with the temperament
than against It. It Is natural to believe
what it is least difficult to believe. The
spirit of Indolence runs (through a man's
entire system, physical and Intellectual
more the latter than the former. Where
one can find ten men who are not afraid
to work not more than one can be found
who la really willing; to use his mind.
Mentally, therefore, he follows the line
of least resistance.
The disposition with which one Is born
joes far, therefore, to determine with
what school of political or religious
doctrine he will ally himself. In that
sense one can be said to be born a repub
lican or a democrat or a mugwump, born
a Protestant or a Catholic. ' We can go
still further and say that Some people
bring their Presbyterianism or their Wes
leyanlsm or their Episcopacy Into the
world with them. They may suppose
that their particular, denominational af
filiation has been determined by some in
dependent deliberation of their own. They
are probably mistaken. The presumption
is that' they have slid into their de
nomination by the brainless operation of
soma kind of gravity.
Aa a natural consequence of all thlsy
the Influences under which we put our)
selves will be those that are congenial to
the opinions that have been accidentally
or temperamentally ueveiopea in us, ana
thus Instead of being 'made more and
mors broadly ' wise, : we are made more
and mors narrowly opinionated. So that

It becomes necessary sometimes to de- !
dare war against our constitutional .
proclivities. It Is with this matter of
mental appetite as It Is with the kind of j
appetite that a man -brings with him to
his dinner table. For him to confine
himself to those dishes which he Par
ticularly relishes Is unhygienic. It will
result In the oversupply of certain parts
of h's system and the under-feeding of
the rest. If a person Is 111 and resents
the medicine his physician prescribes be

made is that it is ju.t that distasteful
quality that adapts the medicine to his
patient's condition of invalidism.

"It was the madam's orders, sir."
"Oh:" Durban looked at his wife slowly.
"Tou may take them down, Oscar," said
Mrs. Durban quietly, and both the artist

"Vivl. I don't understand," pussled her

I know that a great many people have
denied any mcan'ng In personal beauty.
f interrogation I but mHlw 1 feci that I must emphasize
beauty Is music. Music Is all embracing
and soul satisfying. There Is nothing In
the world like It. snd It drapes Its color
and warmth about everything so that
ex-en a semblance of physical perfection
Is ofter reached. Muslo seems to em
brace everything," too. It speaks of the
Inner self when the medium of speech
Is Inadequate. I have known personally
of people who were plain almost to ugli
ness, but who had been given the saving
grace of music to express character.
A personality can be poured out of
one's fingertips or through one's throat,
and the less fortunate people who have
not talent of their own can still absorb
the wonders of sound and retain them
for their own use.
I should advocate music, then, for ths
beauty seekers. There Is nothing like It,
and to worship at its shrine Is an un
believable privilege, while o learn of Its
wonders so sa to use them .again for
one's personal ber.eftt Is a gift from ths
gods. Work out an outlet for yourself, a
medium to show pour character In Its
true light. Mold this combination of color
and sound so as to benefit yourself to the
greatest extent, and I believe and know
that It can be done.
