REST FOR THE WEARY,
"A Roznedy Recommended for Ner-
vOus Prostration,

IA tsomeuy Recommended for Ner-
vous Prostitution.
From the Providence Journal.
There is an unusual amount of illness
this Autumn of the type known, as
nervous prostration." 1t is prevalent
among hard-worked people, who have
been deprived of the needed Summer
rest and relaxation,' mtn* who carry
their business home with them everv
night, and women who are worn out by
domestic cares and worries. It is very
strange how much we are told about
food. clothing, ventilation, drainage. ex
erclse and other things which have TN
influence On our health, and how very
seldom we think Of rest. And yet, as
RENE 'ias and restorative measure, it is
OF the first Importance in many cases.
Most physicians know what to do
and when to do it, but a good deal of
common sense is required TO dis
cover how not to do something.
and when to let the patient alone a
combination Of drudging and fretting
kills more than halt the sick people in
the world; q mans enemies cann~t do
him Near 50 much damage as his friends.
The world is possessed with the notion
that when man is taken i'll, q terrible
ado must be kept up, IN alienation OF
nursing and fussing; while pre1ernatural-
~ wise and whispering doc ors, sympa-
thlzing friends, fearful relatives and
ctlatterlng nurses add their contribu-
tlons to the wrong side, and all because
somebody is i'll and needs chiefly rest.
We have not , ct, most Of us, gotten rid
OF the o.d notion OF the ancleuts that
disease lis a. personality, something
that Is in the air, that travels aro'lt, Ell
ters our dwellings and finally etzes hold
OF us; something akin i'll the minds Of the
ignorant to goblin ghost, fend, demon
or witch, which only pills or potatlons
can exercise, kill or cure. We are CONT

say, If the patient will let HIM, that
two thirds Of all the inaladies of all the
people in the world would get we'll in q

sense employ. But patients otteia ESTE

Black, White and Gray.

There are many ladies to whom colors
are distasteful who still do not wish to

white and gray, range which is not so

shades from steel and iron to ash in gray
are taken into consideration. One OF

Sunshine for Wheat,

"High quality in wheat" remarks the
American Economist, "can only be OBJ
tanned where there is sufficient heat in
summer for it's perfect elaboration.
Ihere is nothing tn at will take the place
Of sunshine. In this respect the climate
of the United States is far better for the
production of wheat OF high quality than
that of Great Britain. The best wheat
years in England are the dryest and
hottest. With high farming there is
nothing which the English wheat-grow-
er SO much breads as 4 cold, moist sum-
mer. Could he be always sure Of an
Americau summer he could calculate on
obtaining an average yield of not less
than forty bushels.per acre, and of the
highest quality. But should he make
his lard rich enough to produce heavy
crop in a dry season, and cool, moist
summer should .sue, his wheat will all
he laid and not yield half a crop. So far
as the summer climate is concerned,
therefore the American wheat-grower
has everything that he can desire. Ours
is the climate for thigh farming"

Give the Boy Fair Play.

Many boy, says writer in the Phil
adeIphia Teacher, gets to himselfa bad
name because Of the rapidly developing
faculties within him which are seeking
employment. Most of what passes for
juvenile depravity may be easily &C.
counted for. Mischief is not meauness;
it is inisdirected energy. Intentionally
wrong doing is generally the fartherest
from the boys thought. The force Of
temptation and Impulse overcomes his
ewn choice and power Of resistance,
while the impudence, i'll temper or reck-
less haste of the teacher sometimes
prompts him to make an example of
such an unlocked for infra.tlon, lest
advantage be taken of it to overthrow
good order. This is an enormous bnn-
der, and cannot be easily excused. The
evils of the human heart cannot be
cured by harshness; what your boy
wants is fair play. What most people
Of older growth need is more of kind
ness and forbearance. 1t boy has lost
his rank among the pure and good, win
him back again. He cannot be forced
te change his desires. Repression will
most likely drive him beyond the power
of your influence, but he will take pride
in earning his way back to forfeited
place in good society.

Honey by .he Barrel.

Apiarists in the northern States usual
ly speak Of their honey crop by stating
the number of pounds or boxes secured
during the season, but in Florida, it a.
pears that honey is measured in bar
rels, and from recent number of the
Enterprise Herald we learn that the
happiest ser of men in the vicinity of
New Smyrna, Fla, are the apiarists.
Mr.. Olaf Oleson extracted over forty
barrels Of choice honey, and was then
compelled to stop for the want Of bar
rels. But further on we are informed
that Mr.. Oieson. after filling all the bar
rels he had with choice honey, saved
Che remainder in neat one-pound sec
tons. This was certainly quite drop
in the size of vessels. bnt it may be that
Florida barrels are different from the
vessels which pass under that name in
our part o; the country. If heney-bees

Scotch cloths and cheviots of mixed

for the every day suits Of boys who

knickerbocker sack with box pleats

which may pass all around the body, or

The straight pantaloons have four but
tons on the outside seam at the knee, or
else they are finished there with q
strap and buckle. They fit closely, and
are worn with long black ribbed stock

is the period when these suits are worn,
and boys in their teens, and young men
also wear such suits in the country in
the SUMMER. Brown, blue and hunters
green tricot cloths are chosen for hest
suits for small boys, and diagonal cloths
are also used. These have single breast
ed pea jackets curved away below the
waist in front, and worn with rolling

collar or else with round corners. There
are no changes in the kilt suits worn by
boys from four to eight years Of age.

below the throat in front is a useful
waist to wear with various kilt skirts Of
flannel, cloth or plaid wool.

Our Bic NeighbOr.

A great deal has been said of late about
our neighbor, the planet Jupiter, and
with good reason, for Jupiter has been in
a condition of intense activity. His disk,
seen through the telescope, is crossed by
belts of various forms and 'colors. The
central ones are the great equatorial belts,
and are more permanent than the lesser
ones near the poles. The Talker saw
this planet little while ago, through the
largest refracting telescope in the world.
His disk was larger than that of the full
moon. His belts were of varied forms
and colors, and were tinted with soft
gray, purple brown and delicate green &.
The picture was not only superbly beau
tiful, but wonderfully impressive for the
atmosphere of life and action that per-
vaded it. Jupiter is probably surrounded
by cloud atmosphere several thousand
miles in depth, beneath which glows the
heated nucleus, giving out some light
and heat. The great red spot, the huge
riffs in the clouds, the changing form
and hues of the belts, bear witness to
the commotion that agitates his chaotic
mass. the process of development that
in the course of millions Of years will
make the giant planet fit abode for
animate life. The Companion says truly
that we are probably watching the pro
cess of world making on the surface CT
our big brother. In hisvast bulk, 1900
times that of the earth, the cooling pro-
cess must be slow, for the law is, the
larger the mass of the planet. the longer
it takes to cool. Long before it shall
have become cooled, it is probable that
mankind shall have ceased to exist on
this planet. Christian at Work.
