BRAIN WoRK.-It will appear, then, that
brain work, even hard brain work, does not
necessarily conduce to disease. If, in any
given case, it is productive of this result, it
will invariably be found, on investigation,
that the work has been done under injurious
emotional conditions, such as the distraction
arising from anxiety, hurry, or the plessing
sense of responsibility. Of all the organs of
the body the brain is the hardest, the most
capable of exceeding its ordinary duties with
impunity. Any extraordinary exertion
thrown on the other organs is sooner or later
emphatcally resented. The quality of the
brain which is most conservative of its health
is its versatility. One part of the organ may
be fresh while another is jaded; it has the
power OF resting in parts that are exhausted
while it continues active in those parts that
are still vigorous. One of the secrets OF safe
continued brain work is to vary frequently
the kind of mental occupation. This is
species of mental gymnastics by which all
parts of the organ OF thought are exercised
in turn. Even in many cases of cerebral ex-
haustion, change of work is probab prefera-
Bile to complete cessation from mental toll
The mind cannot lie long fallow without
bringing forth weeds. Through want of en-
ployment it becomes relaxed in tone, less
amenable to discipline, and less fitted for
steady work. When the present prime min
| lister spent the greater part of his holiday,
| after the exhausting labors of heavy session
in writing "Juventus Mundi,'' he was the
means of drawing attention to an important
principle of meatal therapeutics. Had he
| spent the same time in continental travel, or
on the Scotch moors, he might indeed have
returned at the beginning of the session
| equally recovered from the effects of over
| work, but he would not have been equally
| fit to resume his par liamentary duties.-

DIAMOND CUTTING IN NEW YoRK.-Mr.

has succeeded in forming the New York dia-
mond company and in hunting up enough
emigrants from Amsterdam, who underst nd
diamond work, to open a shop The work.
men numbering thirty-five in all, are all
Israelites, and, with the exception of the
cleaver, are paid by piece-work. Their
wages reach from $50 to 5000 week, depend
ing on tie skill and experience of the artist.
The greater number of carats MANIPULATED
and the more diamonds there are to the carat,
the higher the price paid for the work. The
establishment is necessarily organized with
great strictness, and every diamond is weigh
ed, registered, and fully traced throughout its
entire course. Large and valuable stones,
before being operated upon, are made the
subject of a consultation between the head of
the company, the cleavsr, chief cutter and
chief polisher. Each gives his view, and thus
the question of shape, color, etc., is carefully
determined.

A REVIVAL OF THE SALEM WITcHcRAFr
mania broke out in South Vineland, N. j.,
lately. The family who are specially be-
witched is that of Mr.. Skelly, Catholic
Irishman, who has a small farm, house, wife
and four children. The family proclaim
themselves vexed and tormented beyond en-
durance by the witch. She comes AMI milks
the COW, steals the chickens. drags the
children, sometimes three of them at once,
by the hair of the head, into the bushes near
by, chokes them, threatens their lives, bran
dishes a large dirk knife and pistol, raps on
the house, sup stairs, down stairs and in the
ladies chamber" and not uEfrequently ap-
pears entirely naked, greatly to the alarm and
annoyance of the whole family. The witch
is poor old widow, aged about IS, who lives
nearly third of mile away, on the other
side Of the highway and the railroad also,
alone, in a small black house. Her name is
Larramar. She is member of the Central
Baptist church, and is little strange and
odd in her way; but by those who know her
best she is esteemed an honest, Christian
woman, just the right stock of which to make
witch. Mr.. Skelley had the old lady ar
rested on complaint of assaulting his children
and disturbing the peace in general at his
house. At the trial it was found that no one
could see her in her depredations except Mr..
Skelley's daughter, girl about twelve years
old This girl could see her just as easy and
sometimes stripped to the skin. She swore
most positively that on certain day the old
lady appeared early in the morning and was
hanging around the premises most of the day.
In defense it was shown that on that day the
so-called witch was sick at the house of Les
ter Smith, and could Lot have been absent in
| the flesh. Falling to protect himself and
| family by law, Mr.. Skelley procured gun
and undertook the work of selt-defense.
When the daughter points out the appear
ance of the witch in the bushes, he fires. He
has discharged his gun again and again, but
no foe has fallen. Failing at last to find Sc
curity in law, or protection in shot-guns, Mr..
Skelly has considered discretion the better
part of valor, and removed from town.
