can perfectly recover from the fa-
tigue of in a good nights rest. Up
to that point, exercise is good be-
You'd are waste of life, exhaustion
aud decay. When hunger calls
for food, and fatigue demands rest,
we are in natural order, and keep
the balance of life. When we take
stimulants to spur our jaded nerves
or excite an appetite, we arc vast
ing life. There ia wrong and mis-
chief in all waste of life. A man
should live so as TO keep himself
at his best, and with true econo-
my. TO eat more food than is
neadful is worse policy than toss
ing money into the sea. 1t is a
waste Of labor and waste of life.

Stealing Another's Comfort.

Any one who has stopped over
night at a large hotel has been
disturbed in the small hours by
persons walking in the halls as
heavily and carelessly as if it were
midday. Guests who are up late
seem thoughtless of the quiet of
those wrapped in slumber. Such
conduct is selfishness of which
any sensible person ought to be
ashamed.
A grave gentleman at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel once complained of
it to the genial clerk. 81 am sur
prised," he said, "that you harDor
thieves in this house,
Thieves, sir? Harbor thieves?
What do you mean, sir !? Ex-
plain, if you please ~
II mean that l had something
stolen from me last night by one
of your guests
1--WE are all exposed to sneak
thieves, sir.'
"But this was not sneak thief.
1t was guest in the house, sir,
and quartered as comfortably as i
Was.'
"This ID very extraordinary,
sir. What was stolen from you,
sir. and at what hour?"
The gentleman answered with
earnestness SAT 2 o'clock this
morning some most precious sleep
was stolen from me by one of your
guests, and with pair of boots.'
Was not this guest one of the
meanest of sneak thieves?

Mark Twain as u German
Scholar.

| went often to look at the col.
lection of curiosities In Heidelberg
castle, and one day surprised the
keeper of it with my German. /
spoke entirely in that language.
He was greatly interested, and
after had talked awhile he said
my German was very rare, posi-
bly, unique and wanted to add
1t to his museum. 1.-The had known
what it cost me to acquire my art
he would break any collector to
buy it. Surely there is not an
other language that is so slipshod
and systemless, so slippery and
elusive to the grasp. One Is wash
ed about in it, hither and thither,
in the most helpless way, and
when at last he thinks he has cap
tured a rule which offers firm
ground to take rest on amid the
general rage and turmoil Of the
parts of speech, he turns over the
page and reads, "Let the pupil
make careful note of the following
EXCEPTIONS he runs his eye
down and finds that there are
more exceptions to the rule than
instances of it. So overheard he
goes again to hunt for another
quicksand. German books are
easy enough to read when you
hold them before the looking
glass or stand Oh your head-so as
to reverse the contruction-but l
think that to learn to read and
understand a German newspaper
is thing which must always re-
main an impossibilityss to a for

Use of a SunflOwer.
Minneapolis Tribune.


The familiar objects seen in
childhood days remain objects OF
interest and affection through life.
There Is hardly a person In the
State, but that has an affection for
the great homely sunfiower, and
all from the association of child
hood days; but while 1t has gener-
ally been planted for ornamental
purposes, its cultivation Is now
strongly recommended by mary
because the flowers are believed
by many TO afford the best materi-
al for wax and honey; the petals
of a flower to yield valuable dye;
the seed yields fifty per cent OF
oil, excellent for cooking or illu-
minating purposes, while they
are also a superior food for poul-
try and cows, increasing the flow
of milk; the bottom of the calyx
may be used for food in the same
way as the artichoke, which it
closely resembles; the wood will
yield one per cent. of potash,
while common hard wood only
yields one-tenth as much, the
beans may be used for food for
animals; while the bark, properl Y
prepared, affords material for the
manufacture of paper, and sowing
an acre or two broadcast around
the pioneers cabin on the prairie,
makes an excellent wind break in
the winter, and affords a warm re-
treat for poultry from December
to ADril.
