The Brain Worry.

Many Of US pray to be delivered from
sudden death, and do we worry ourselves
into it? If we do, can we help it? To
most of us it is not given to choose our
lives, to avoid the rough places, to gently
shoulder to one side disagreeable facts.
We must climb over the rocks though
they hurt us sore, and the difficulties,
however they may annoy us, must be met
with brain fret and wear until they are
conquered, or we have passed them. They
are as real, living. annoying as any tangi-
bic ache or pain could be; as bruising and
irritating as the peas in the shoes Of the
pilgrims Of old. Nervous health is one
thing, and moral health and purely physi-
cal health is quite another and different
thing. Calm and steady mental work is
conducive to long life; but nervous emo.
ton, mental work that is a constant urg-
ing, and, at the same time, is an unhing-
ing of the even tenor of the mind, eats
away the brain faster than any mental la
Dor, no matter how hard, that is syste-
matte. As men do not really die of heart
disease as often as supposed, but of apo
plexy, or congestion of the lungs, so they
do not die Of brain work, but Of brain
worry. Scott died of it; Southey, Swift,
Horace Greeley, and probably Thackeray.

easy, idle life became torment to Hans.

the thought-"they should be no longer
living!" He tried to remember how long
it had been since he left home, but the
people in the FOOLS Paradise kept no &C.
count of time.
1.-The best thing for me is to 20 home at
once" exclaimed he; and he started up,
feeling more like man than ever before
in his life. He reached the gate, and was
about to pass through, when-he rubbed
his eyes-could it be possible? there was
no gate, but walls reaching to the sky,
built of solid confectionery!
While he was gazing, almost in despair,
he was suddenly surrounded by hundreds
of the people of the land, IN the shape of
apes with long ears, who danced and
shouted, You can't get out! You can't
get OUT"
Hans grew furious. and struck right and
left with his fists. But it was all in vain
If he could strike, so could they; and
he was one, and they were many. At last,
a tremendous blow quite-waked him up!
He found himself under the trees, with
one of his fellow-workmen, who was
laughing heartily. AS soon as he could
speak, lie said, "What have you been
dreaming, Hans? You are q sound Sleep
er, and good fighter. Come, the boss is
asking where you are"
Hans worked, that afternoon, as he had
never worked before, and when he went
home, he astonished Katrina by tossing
the baby above his head, and shouting,
Hurrah!" She was still more astonlsh-
ed while they were at the table; for he
said, "What a capital support" though it
was only rye bread, cheese, and coffee
without milk.
They say that Hans Peter never wished
to take second journey to the FOOLS

Selling Stock.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your articles present
ing to your readers the advantages of soil
ing stock-all of which, let me remark,
/ strongly apprOve-yOu have never men,
toned one advantage which think very
great and which all will admit when it is
presented. allude to the comfort of
stock which are stabbed in good, airy and
well-ventilated stables during the long,
hot days of summer, shaded from the heat,
protected against flies, and enabled to eat
their food in comfort. We all know that
during the hot hours of the day in sum.
mer, cattle turned out to pasture will seek
the shade, and that they will leave their
food to find shelter from the heat and the
insects. We may therefore conclude that
if we were to supply them with plenty of
green food and water in cool, clean sta
bic, they would enjoy it more and thrive
better than if we should turn them out to
forage for themselves under burning
sun and among swarms Of flies. Besides,
we also know that when the weather is
hottest our pastures are always the barest
and least nourishing. 1t is very rare to
find pasture in our country which in
July and August will supply stock with
the food they ought to have. 1t stands to
reason that stock exposed to q vertical
sun, fOrce0 to roam over acres OF ground
to find few mouthfuls of succulent herb
age, and pestered by all sorts of insects,
will not thrive as we'll as those that are
sheltered and have plenty of food.
You have already demonstrated that by
soiling you can support stock with less
land and less expenditure for fences than
where pastures are the sole reliance, and
you have also shown the great advantage
in the vast increase of the manure pile, and
in the greater abundance of the crops.
But desire in this communication to re-
fer to the greater thrift of stock which are
soiled in summer as compared with those
that are turned out to SHIFT for themselves
in those fields which, by an effort of mag
ination we call pastures.
suppose when our farmers have tried
and found the benefit of lucerns, millet,
drilled corn and clover, they will take the
next step and soil their stock. hope
that the day may not be far distant when
these excellent crops may be raised on
every farm, and when cattle turned out
to pasture" in the dog-days may nowhere
be seen.-G. j. B., in Southern Farm and
Home.

"Well, Tom, you don't mean to say

Care Of Paint Brushes.

No person can perform good job of
painting unless his brushes are in soft
and elastic condition. Those persons
who have occasion to do small job of
painting only few times year, are apt
to find their brushes in such q bad con-
ditiOn that new brush must be pro-
cured and good one thrown away, for
the simple reason that when used last,
their brush had not been properly cared
for. Any good brush will last to do
an immense amount of painting, if it is
only taken care of when not in actual
use.
In order to render a brush doubly
serviceable, before it is used turn it bot
tom end up, open the bristles and pour in
about small teaspoonful of good var
nish, in small brush, and several table,
spoonfuls in large brush. As soon as
the varnish has all been absorbed
among the butts of the bristles, pour in
another supply. Keep the brush in the
position indicated until the varnish has
become quite hard. White-wash brushes,
brushes for calcimining, and all paint
brushes should be treated in this manner
long before they are used. The varnish
will cement the bristles together SO firmly
| that none will work out when the brush
is in use. Shellac varnish is better for
this purpose than any other kind, as it
will not be dissolved or softened so read
lily when brush is kept in water.
When q brush is used only two or
three times year, the better way to keep
it in good condition is to wipe out as
much Of the paint as possible with a

Two WEEKS ago an account was given
of dog that had been carried seven hun
dred miles somewhere at the West, but
not liking the place, alone, guided by q
faculty quite unknown to man, he footed
his way to his old loved home without
making inquiries, consulting a guide
board, or travelling out of the way, at
the rate of nearly hundred miles each
day.
An old horse purchased of a farmer in
Vermont many years since, was shipped
at Seabrook, Conn, with others, to the
West Indies, for grinding cane. A storm
occurring in L ong Island Sound, the deck
horses were washed overheard and sup
posed to have been lost. The old Vermont
er, however, reached land in the darkness
of stormy night, and finally was found
standing at the barn-do of his old home.
The horse had never been far from
the town till sold, therefore could
not have been familiar with the way.
Carrier pigeons perform feats as swift
messengers through the air, because they
are in hurry to reach home. However
far they may be carried confined in
baskets, they Invariably speed their way
without ever resting on the voyage till
they reach the place dear to their affec-
tons. In 1919, with view to ascertain
their speed, pigeon was carried from
Antwerp to London, and there liberated.
The bird was at its cote, having flown
one hundred and eighty miles. in a
straight line, in just six hours.
Horses, mules, dogs, cats, and all the
migrating birds, find their way as un-
erringly as the carrier pigeon does; but
how they do it is beyond our ken. Some
imagine birds see telescopically one or
two hundred miles when high in the air,
and over the tops of mountains. But
the theory throws no light upon the
movements of mule that found his home
in Brazil, hundreds of miles over a region
where man could hardly move, having
neither path to follow nor companion
to lead the way. Science, therefore, has
something more to do to clear up this
mystery.
A writer in the Quarterly Repiep ad.
vances the theory that "they have q
certain sense of the magnetic currents,
sufficing to afford them sort of internal
mariners compass marking the direction
in which they travel. We know that the
magnetic currents affect the needle, and
the hypothesis that they may also affect
living frames with special organizations
seems in no way incredible; while the
fact that dog, who can find his own
way for a hundred miles in the open
country, may lose it in five hundred
yards in town, seems to point to the
multitude of streets turning at RICH,
angles as the cause of confusion to q
sense which simply indicates straight
direction."-N. Y. Commercial Adoertsse,'

IT frequently happens that farm will

it is we'll to consider the subject of life
insurance. For small sum paid annual
