now a 'movement for conducting the periodical business

toil the greater part of their lives, they can scarcely
enjoy an osocasional day of relaxation or amusement with-

will be inure frequent and more liberal intervals of relax-
ation, and consequently less tendency to go beyond
reasonable bounds in snerryonaning."
