BRAIN " 0RK.

Hard study does not, of itself, shorten
life, but does of itself tend to increase
the longevity of man. When hard
students die early, it will be found that
In some way they had fallen into the
habit of violating some of the laws of
nature, or began study with some in
herited infirmity. The pursuit Of truth
is pleasurable; it is exhilarating; it is
exalting, and promotes serenity. Of
all men, natural philosophers average
the longest lives. The great, the gov
erning reason is, in addition to the
above, that their attention is drawn
away from the indulgence of animal
appetites; their qualifications are not
in that direction, hence they are neither
@Ourmands, drunkards nor licentious.
Sir Isaac Newton had often to be re-
minded that his dinner was ready; the
call to eat is often most unwelcome
one to literary men they consider eat
ing a secondary consideration; they
literally eat to live, and the process of
dining is often gone through with as q
task.
Many hard students have become
miserable dyspeptics, and have died
while yet In their prime, but the tor
menting disease was brought on by
over eating, by eating too fast, or by
returning to their studies too soon after
a hearty or hasty, meal, thus drawing
to the brain the nervous energy which
ought to have been expended on the
stomach in aiding it to prepare the
food for nourishing the system, and
not being so prepared it "lays heavy"
feels like load, or induces other dis
comforts which increase in intensity
and duration until life becomes a burden
and failure. The French Academy is
perhaps the most learned body in the
world, and the ages of the younger
members average from sixty to seventy.
Most of the clever men of France have
in this year of 1867, reached great
age. Of the members of the French
Academy, N. Vinnet is SO; N. de
Segur, So; De Tougerville, rs; Lebran,
50; Nillemain, IS; I.amartine, 7G;
Flourene, rs; II. Guizot, 10; and NJ.
Theirs, 50; Berryer, "A; the Duke de
Broglie, 50.
This list might be indefinitely extend
ed rs to all nations-Lord Brougham,
Humboldt, John Wesley and many
others.
The circumstances most favorable to
longevity among brain workers is the
spending considerable portion fearly
life in outdoor activities, travel and
the like, and then by temperate and
plain mode ofliying the brain will work
advantageously until past four score

HOW TO BECOME A MILLIONAIRE.

John McDonough, the Millionaire of
New Orleans has engraved upon his
tomb Il series of maxims he had pre-
scribed as the rule for his guidance
through life, and to which his success
in business is mainly attributed. They
contain so much wisdom that we copy
them:
Rules for the Guidance Of ny life,
1904. Remember that labor is one of
the conditions Of our existence Time
is gold; throw not one minute away,
but place each one to account. Do
unto all men as you would be done by.
Never put of till tomorrow what can
be done to-day. Never bid another do
what you can do yourself. Never covet
what is not your own. Never think
any matter so trifing as not to deserve
notice Never give out that which does
not first come in. Never spend but to
produce. Let the greatest order regu-
late the transactions of your life. Study
in your course of life to do the greatest
amount of good.
Deprive yourselves of nothing neces-
sary to your comfort, hut live in an
honorable simplicity. Labor, then, to
the last moment of your existence
Pursue strictly the above rules, and the
Divine blessing and the riches of every
kind will flow upon you to your hearts
content; but, first of all, remember that
tie chief and great duty of your life
should be to tend, by all means in your
power, to the honor and glory of our
Divine Creator.
The conclusion to which I have AZ
rived is, that without temperance there
is no health; without virtue no order 4;
without religion no happiness; and
that the aim of our being is to live
wisely, soberly and righteously.

RALEIGH, N. c., TIL URSDAY Y
SUMNER IDLENESS.

Under "a root of pine"
To hear the ring dove brood,
With the sorrow of love long past,
Thrilling the listening wood:
Deep mid the clustering frs.
Where the nightingale sings all day,
To hide in the darkness sweet,
Where the sunbeams find no way.
To ramble from field to field, .
Where the poppy is all On flame,
All but the little black coal
At it's core that's still the same;
And where the "speedwell" blue
Cheers with its two kind words,
And the wild rose burns with blush
At the hattery of the birds.
To basE on the grassy cliff
Lazily watching the sail,
The blue pains of the deeper sea,
And shadows emerald pale;
The breezes' rippling track,
And the sea-birds flickering white
Athwart the rosy cloud
And under the golden light
In the haycock sweet and dry,
To lazily nestle down
When half the field is gray and shorn
And half the field waves brown;
Md the clumps of purple thyme,
When the evening sky is red,
To lie and rest on the flowers,
Ones Epicurean head.
Or, better, amid the corn,
To turn to ones lazy back,
And see the lark unbornc,
Over the drifting wrack;
To hear the field mouse run
To its nest IN the swinging stalk;
And See the timorous hare
Limp over the hedge-side walk.
Such are the Summer joys,
That Epicureans love;
Men with no sorrow to heed,
Heeding no cloud above;
GrasshopPer men, that sing
Their little Summer through,
And when the Winter comes,
Hide from the frost and dew.
Happy the man whose heart
Is granite against Times frost,
Whose Summer of calm content
In Autumn's never lost;
Who when care comes with clouds
That gather from East to West,
Has still changcless heart
And sunshine in his breast

How A Mans HAIR Is BRUSHED BY
MACHINERY.-There are number of
establishments throughout London,
however, for brushing the hair by ma
chinery. This is an invention far su-
perior to anything of the kind in vogue
in America. Enter one of these rooms,
and you will notice revolving shaft
extending along the ceiling with pulleys
upon it at regular intervals. Beneath
each pulley is a BARRIERS chair, with q
flexible band of india rubber extending
down from above. You are placed in
the chair, sitting upright. and the
operator takes his position behind you
with his brush, which is ofa cylindrical
shape, about six inches in diameter, the
bristles extending from an axis outward.
A spindle goes through it with a handle
at each end. This spindle, which is
held by the barber with both hands, is
stationary, while the brush revolves
about it with lightning velocity, when
the band, which hangs down from the
shaft above it, is placed around pull
ley on the brush. The elasticity of
the india rubber band is such thai the
operator can hold the brush. turning
all the time, foot above your head,
two feet behind you just touching your
hair or sweep through it with a velocity
of hundred revolutions a minute.
while cloud of dust and dandrulf falls
down III front of you, leaving your
head perfectly free and clean from all
impurities, more than any shampooning
process could accomplish. The whole
thing is done i'll an instant almost
They have hard brushes and soft
brushes, and the sensation as they whirl
around your head and through your
hair is electrical. A morning headache
disappears almost Immediately; and
any one who has experienced the luxu-
ry of having his hair brushed by ma.
cchinery finds it pleasure which, in
future, he will not willingly forego.-
There are hundreds Of these establish
ments in England, and their number is
constantly increasing Cincinnati
