"Asthenia" means "without strength," and it describes a condi- tion of general debility. Nerve weak- ness Is "neurasthenia," and muscu- lar weakness Is "myasthenia," but the word without any prefix whatever means a general weakness of the sys- tem that the sufferer brings into life itli him. In infancy a child will asthenia is incapable of prolonged muscular effort. The normal baby screams lustily and kicks vigorously, but the asthenic baby cries feebly as it fatigued and nurses with slow i>iid feeble movements. Such children cut their first teeth late, with a good deal of digestive disturbance; they catch disease eas- ily and are slow to stand and walk. The motor apparatus that is, the nerves and muscles used In moving the body is not and probably never will be capable of much hard work. In later years, esreclally during adolescence, life goes mere hardly with the asthenic person. His lack of stamina may show Itself in any one of a number of ways among others backache, chorea, weak eyes, weak heart, slowness of wit, poor digestion or undue fatigue after ordinary exer- tion. These symptoms all Indicate that the asthenic person cannot work or play like other people, but must arrange his life with regard to hte constitutional weakness. Many asthenica are persona of su- perior intelligence and moral force, and they often offset their physical limitations by an exercise of will. The ability thus to exert the will and to triumph over fatigue marks the dif- ference between them and the neuras- thenic or the simply indolent. The greatest mistake a person of the asthenic type can make is to use his will power In an effort to keep up with normal people in their work and play. He can often hold his own in the battle of life surprisingly well, but he cannot do it by "burning the candle at both ends." Success In life for the astbenlo means a careful con- servation of all the vital forces from hour to hour. Had Them Breathless For Moment. A regular customer at a certain restaurant was a confirmed non- tipper. Not only so, but he loudly ad- vised his friends not to tip. At last, says The Manchester Guardian, the waitresses resolved to give him a les> son. One brought him his change be- fore his friends. It wac Is. r.il , all in coppers, neatly spread on a tray. The mean man looked at It, and bis friends thought that this time be would have to give something. "There's a penny." said the non- tipper. For a moment It WM thought that he had swerved from liis principles, but he added, "Now, young woman, take all that away and get me a shilling and a six- pence." The Peoples of Italy.
