WILLING WORK.
It Comes Best in the Morning with Clear Brain
aud Refreshed System.

aud Refreshed System.
Perhaps, on the whole, moderately
early rising is now a commoner prac-
tice in cities than it was forty years
ago. 1t seems strange that the habit of
lying in bed hours after the sun is up
should ever have obtained hold on the
multitude of brain workers, as un-
doubtedly it has in time past Hour
for he he intellectual work done in
the e4.Iy morning, when the atmos-
phere is as yet imprisoned by the breath
of myriads of actively-moving crea-
lures, must be, and, as matter of ex-
perience, is, incomparably better than
that done at night. The habit of writ
ing and reading late in the day and far
into the night, ''for the sake of quiet, is
one of the most mischievous to which
a man of mind can addict himself.
When the body is jaded the spirit may
seem to be at rest, and not SO easily dis
tracted by the surroundings which we
think less obstructive than i'll the day;
but this seeming is snare.
When the body is weary, the brain
which is an integral part of the body,
and the mind, which is simply brain
function, are weary, too. Ii we persist
in working one part OF the system be-
cause some other part is too tired to
trouble us. that cannot be wise man
agement of sell. The feeling of tran
guilty which comes over the busy and
active man about 1880 or IL o'clock
ought not to be regarded as an incentive
to work It's in fact the effect of low
ering of vitality consequent on the
exhaustion of the physical sense. Ma
ture wants and calls for physiological
rest. Instead of complying with her
reasonable demand. the night-worker
halls the feelings of mental quies-
ence, mistakes it for clearness and
acuteneSs, and whips the jaded organ
ism with the viii until it goes on work
ing What is the result ? Immediate
", the accomplishment of a task fairly
well, but not half SO well as if it had
been performed with the vigor of a re-
freshed brain working in health from
proper sleep.
Remotely, or later on, comes the PEN
atty to be paid for unnatural exertion-
that is, energy wrunG from exhausted
or weary nerve-centers under pressure.
This penalty takes the form of "nerv-
business, perhaps sleeplessness, almost
certainly some loss or depreciation OF
function in one or more of the great
organs concerned in nutrition. To re-
lieve these maladies -springing from
this unsupported cause.-The brain
worker very likely has. recourse to the
use of stimulants, possibly alcohol, or ii
may be simply tea or coffee. The Sc
quel need not be followed. Night-work
during student life and in after years is
the fruitful cause of much unexplained,
though by no means inexplicable, suf-
fering for which it is difficult if not i'm
possible to find remedy. Surely morn
ing is the time for work, when the brain
is relieved from its tension. and mind
power at its best.-London Lancet

Stumbling n Snob.


Speaker Keifer administered the snub
courteous to the too awfuily, utter
Oscar, in manner that will lead the
youth to brush up his manners some
what. With that beautiful disregard of
the conventionalites obtaining among
esthetics, Oscar sent up his card to the
Speaker while the house was in session,
perhaps expecting that he would be in
vited to the Speakers chair, or, at the
least, would have the pleasure of wit
Messing Kiefer east his two hundred
pounds Of ayoirdipois at his feet in
silent alteration of tie crushed lily.
With GOODNESS that must have sent a
cold chill down the spinal column of the
esthetic apostle Mr.. Keifer merely re-
marked, as the card was handed him,
that it should have been sent to his ho-
tel, anu went on with the business in
hand. Crushed lilies were nothing to
the divine Oscars feelings at that mo-
ment

Deseryedly P0puIar.

1t can not be otherwise than crafty
ing to Mr.. Clementson and his friends
to note the many hattering and kindly
notices which his candidature for the
judicial nomination on the Republican
ticket has called forth. Coming as they
do fiom every quarter, and in some i'm
stances from the most unexpected sourc-
es they show, without further weight
OF words the estimation in which he is
held in the different parts of the district.
Room is found for few of these notices
IN another place, perusal of which will
send glow of pride to the heart of every
resident of Grant county. Not that they
each and every one are not themselves
fully aware of the legal attachments and
high spirit of justice that has run through
every action of Mr.. Clementson in times
past, until has become proverbial that
Geo. Clementson would tell the truth
if it hurt his own case but the county
is honored in possessing such son.
Should Mr.. Clementson be so fortu-
nate as to receive the nomination at the
hands of the Republican party the com
ing month, result to which appear
ances now strongly point, Old Grant
will not be found tagging at the polls on
election day. He win go out of the
county at the close of that day with a
majority which will put all doubts of
success to flight THE HERALD would
not assert for q moment that any
other candidate would not poll good
vote in this county but it does insist that
the name of Geo. Clementson at the
head of the ticket would be q tower of
strength, to which would rally, not only
the full! strength of the party, but num-
bers of non partisan voters who admire
and respect the sturdy uprightness and
high legal abilities of one who has grown
up from youth to manhood and from
manhood to middle age in their midst
and yet against whose social or profess
siOnal character rests not one single
stain to mar their brilliancy.
Whatever may be the result in any
other event, the nomination of Mr..
Clementson would undoubtedly be
equivalent to an election.

A BurSIetI Boom.

As usual the arts of the demagogue
are the first employed by the present oc-
cupant of the bench in this judicial cir
cult to advance his interests. At a
meeting of the judicial satellites, who
are content TO move each in his little or
bit in the shadow of their judicial sun,
held recently, skillful scheme was con
cocted Cothren was to come out as an
independent candidate. The Demo-
cratic party in the meantime We're to
make no nomination. Therefore in or
der to keep up appearances an uprising
of the bar and people was to be inaugur-
ated. Accordingly the party dispersed
each with petition properly headed in
his pocket and now traverse the district
outwardly harmless rs doves but in
wardly cunning rs serpcnts, asking in
gentle whispers that those to whom
they apply do sign the petition then and
there presented
The chillineSs of the reception which
has met their efforts thus far in their
progress towards an unanimous out
pouring for Cotlren, must have had n
discouraging effect on the boys. The
fact that the dodge is assuming the APP
pearance of apiece of muslin must have
become apparent to even their brilliant
but somewhat obtuSr intellccts. 1t was
shrewd scheme and well worthy of the
master mind that fathercd it but the
boys gave il away in their eagerness
to obey orders. Their sky-rocket has
discharged at the wrong end So far
as heard from no one has been seriously
hurt except in mind.

A Familiar Sound.

The usual and familiar cry against
the state paying scalp bounties is again
noticeable in the emanations from the
capitol. In the local news columns of
the Madison journal was noticed re-
Gently narrowing article on the inqui-
ties practiced by the 'scalp sharks"
The writer affirmed that ''disinterested
employees at the capitol whose prin-
cipal duty consist in performing the
wearying labor of drawing their salaries
with regularity and Dispatch
"down on the business. This of itself
should be. sufficient to crush the scalp
hunters at once, but in order to be sure
that the Job is done and done well the
local young man asks appealingly if the
state legislature will not repeal this
costly law, which draws few thousand
dollars annually out of the treasury and
so save that amount to the poor, over
burdened taxpayer.
1t is not probable that one writer out
of a hundred outside of the counties in
which wild animals abound, knows
what he is talking about when dis
cussing this question. The idea often
presented, as in the article i'll question
of parties carefully fostering the animals
included under the bounty law for the
purpose of raising crop of scalps, is a
tale bordering very strongly on the
lidicrous The writer has evidently been
absorbing a large dose of "taify" from
some wicked pioneer who obcyed the
soriptural injunction and took his YER
dant listener in. In the eastern and
middle counties of the state wolves and
wild cats are nearly if not quite exter-
minated, of foxes but few are left,
enough TO furnish sport for the hunters
in the winter But in this section the
necessity of keeping their farms clear
of these pests induces residents to sub
nit to local rs well as state taxation in
order that their stock may be saved from
depredations. This bounty is offered in
order that hunters may exterminate
these beasts wherever found and as this
and other counties afflicted by these
pests have to walk up to the captains
office and settle their share for debts in
CURED in improvements for other sec
tons they only think it right that the
state in turn should assist in their eX-
tremity. Unfortunately the weight of
influence is in the more thickly settled
counties, as with the exception of this
southwestern portion of the state, the
infected region is sparsely settled and
As 4 consequence more is apt To be heard
from those interested in abolishing the
bounty law in order that the money may
he diverted into other channels, than is
heard from the farmers side. The laws
of Grant county, and the state reports
show more wolves killed here than else
where. are very stringent in the rela-
tion to the payment of bounties, and it
is prcsumable that those of other coun-
ties are equally so. Hence to east as
pensions such as it is fashionable to be
made upon the residents of this and
other sections is not only IN outrageous
wrong but direct insult to the moral
ity and conscience Of each and every
community

Names of Countries.

The following countries, it is said,
were originally named by the Phgni-
clans, the greatest commercial people in
the world. The names, in the Pheni-
clan language, signified something char
teristic of the places which they desig-
nate.
Europe signifies a country of white
complexion; so named because the in
habitants were of lighter complexion
than those of Asia and Africa.
Asia signifies between, or in the mid
die, from the fact that the geographers
placed it between Europe and Africa.
Africa signifies the land of corn, or
ears. 1t was celebrated for its abundance
OF corn, and all sorts of grain.
Siberia signifies thirsty or dry--very
characteristics
Spain, country of rabbits or comics.
1t was once so infested with these ami
mails that it sued Augustus for an army
TO destroy them.
Italy, a country of pitch, from its
yielding great quantities of black pitch.
Calabria. also, for the same reason.
taul, modern France, signifies yellow
haired, as yellow hair characterized its
inhabitants.
The English of Caledonia is high
hill. This was rugged, mountainous
province i'll Scotland.
Hibernia is utmost, or last habitation;
for beyond this, westward, the Ph@ni-
clans never extended their voyages.
Britain, the country of tin, great
quantities being found on it and ada
cent islands. The Greeks called it AL
bion, which signifies in the Phenician
tongue either white or high mountains,
from the whiteness of its shores, or the
high rocks on the Western coast.
Corsica signifies woody place.
Sardinia signifies the footsteps of men,
which it resembles
Syracuse, bad SAVIOR, so-called from
the unwholesome marsh on which it
stood.
Rhodes, serpents or dragons, which
1T produced in abundance
Sicily, the country of grapes.
Scylla, the whirlpool Of destruction.
Etna signifies furnace, or dark, or
