A Jaded Head.

DR.. Cornelius R. Agnew lectured be-
fore large audience in New York in the
hall of the Young Mems Christian
association on a "Jaded Head" This
term DR.. Agnew said he applied to the
head that canuot be depended upon for a
long stretch of work, that grows weary
prematurely, that has to be coaxed
from the pillow in the morning, and
that does not force the work of the day
cheerfully. There are more Of such
heads than might be supposed. They
are found in every rank of life, but
chiefly among persons of sedentary
pursuits, and among both sexes and al
most ali ages above fourteen. Gener-
ally the early symptoms of the malady
is discomfort during headwork in the

How Baltimore Servant Missed
Lighting a Fire With $500.

A lady living in the western section
of the city, who has been in the habit of
placing her income, little by little as she
received it, behind large picture in the
drawing-room of the house in which she
lives, was yesterday greatly excited over
the supposed loss of all her savings. The
lady was living with her two nieces, who
do the housework and superintend the
work of the kitchen. Two or three days
ago they began cleaning the house from
top to bottom.
After they had finished the upper stor-
les, and had put down the carpets, they
began tile dining-room. They started
with the pictures. These they first took
down, dusted, oiled, and then returned
to their places on the wall. They had
finished all but the large one, behind
which was the money, and were just
about to begin operations on this one,
when the door-bell rang. This, Of course,
interrupted for while the work. The
ringing Of the bell was caused by the
visit of gentleman who wished to see
the aunt Of tke two young ladies, the
lady of the house.
When she returned from her interview
with the gentleman she found that the
young ladies-her neices-had taken the
picture down, cleaned it and returned it
to its place. At the time it did not oc-
cur to her that the picture was the one
which she had selected as her bank.
It was not until yesterday that she
thought of looking behind the picture to
see if her money was still where she had
placed it. She had been in the habit OF
looking there every day in order to sat1s-
fy herself of its safety. When she went
to look for it on this day she found, tc
her great astonishment and grief, that l,
was gone.
The first thought was that the servant
had stolen it, but she knew she could
vouch for her servants honesty, and il
seemed almost an impossibility that she
should have taken it. The whole house
was then rensacked, but with nc
result-the money was still missing. Not
finding it, the lady became completely
overcome with anxiety.
It took the combined efforts of the
young ladies fully an hour to calm the
poor lady's nerves. After thinking the
matter over again, the ladies finally
agreed that the only possible way The
money could have been lost, provided i
was not stolen, was that it had falle1
from the picture 10 the floor while th'
picture was being cleannd, and swept ou
with the dust and dirt that had accumu
lated in the room.
Then began an overhauling of the dir
! pile and garbage boxes, but with tn

I said, "Ah! would that l might be,
If but for one short hour,
By some good fairy godmother
Gifted with magic power.
OF roses you should be the queen,
TIE faire.t, loveliest ever seen.
And the bee, that round YOU
Might hover all the day,
And unreproved draw from your heart
Its choicest sweets away.
No other flower my kiss should WOO,
Were | q bee, a queen rose you.
Cor should you be from all eyes hid,
A violet pure and sweet;
A clover blossom, would rest
Contented at your feet.
Alone tegether, you and l.
Beneath the tender summer sky!'
Two merry ewes looked into mine,
Two arch lips answered me:
"But I am not q rose, you know,
And you are not a bee.,'

INTHE CONnERvATORY.

The passion flowers o'er her bright head
dropped,
The roses twined their faint rich blooms above
her,
Great crimson fuchsia bells with myrtle
grouped,
White lilies watched the maiden and her lover;
The warm air round them fragrant with the
breath
Oh violets nesting in their messy wreath.
The fountains silverv tinkle, softly Ginning,
Blent with sweet laughter and low replies,
As past the arch, the musics pulses timing,
Flashed flying feet, flushed cheeks and spark

And tinted lamps and mellow moonlight

To light the happy dream of youth and love-
A little year-a pale girl stood alone,

And mid the ivies, rank and overgrown,
The melting snow, in slow and sullen drip, Z,
FLASHED where mid shattered glass and broad
arch barred,
A strug Cling rose-tree kept its silent guard.

Like faith, and hope, and joy of summer

back of the head and in the upper part
of the spinal region. He is happy
man who meets this symptom with rest,
and seeks in sunlight and fresh air some
fresh investments for his nervous sys-
tenn and drops every habit that does not
do him positive good. If he takes to
artificial stimulants for relief he will
begin career which, sooner or later,
will place him among the incurables or
bring him to an untimely end. Alcohol
and all sleep-produclng drugs are dan
gerous in the highest degree, for they
mask the malady without curing it. No
organ in the human body is so abused as
the brain, and no organ is so we'll fitted
for daily use. Still, the brain is not so
susceptible to disease as some suppose.
1t was probable there was not man
present who had not during the day
abused his brain by overwork, anger, to-
bacco, alcohol, fuss, hurry, too little sleep,
too much sleep, by Incidence, by not
studying to be quiet, by not doing his
own business, by attempting to do some
thing beyond his reach, by attempting to
do something for which be had not been
sufficiently educated, by carrying an evil
conscience, or by the unmanly strain OF
trying to outdo his neighbor. The
remedy for the :aded head is the giving
