NerTousness in Women.

One cause of the extreme nervous
ness Of American women is living TOO
much in the darkness when indoors,
saws the Herald of Health. The rooms
are kept dark to save the carpets and
keep out the flies, and as consequence
both the house and the occupants lack
the benefits of fresh air and sunshine.
Houses from which the sun Is excluded
are not wholesome. There IS always
damp, depressing condition in them
that makes itself evident at once to
sensitive temperament The minds
and bodies of all who live in such
houses are affected by it. Both health
and spirits are depressed. Their occu-
pants have not only the depressing eff
feet of the lack of light and sun to
contend against, but the reaction con-
sequent upon living in unwholesome
conditions. All the rooms in the house
should have both light and sunshine
freely admitted at all times, whether
they arc in daily use or not. They are
thus keep sweet, and are in good con-
dition when they are wanted.
Nelson Sizer once said, when max
ing chronological examination: "be
as much as possible in the sunshine
People who live in dark rooms and
wear black are pale all through" You
cannot have too much of light either
in your lives or in your houses, for
good health. You may lives~but it Is
not all of life to live. Merely to exist
is but small part of our work in this
world. We should so live that body
and mind are at all times in their best
condition We are then ready and able
to do whatever duty may be required
of us in such way that the doing
merely shall be pleasurable. and the
reaction on ourselves and others bene-
fetal. 1t should be, in fact, the relig-
ious duty of every one to so live.
Many woman and child have been
sacrificed to save the carpets and keep
out the flies. Many a fit of illness has
resulted from the same cause. Many
a disappointed, cherries life can be
traced back to sunless rooms as a be-
ginning. Multitudes of women and
children are only half living to-day be-
cause only half-fed. Sunshine and
light and air are as much food for body
and soul as the fruits and grains and
vegetables that we take into our stom-
achs; and we can not get surfeit OF
them as food. The more We have the
better,

"Dead-Hsads."
Harper's Weekly

Harper's Weekly.1
The legislation in several States which
seeks to prohibit free passes upon rail
roads to members of the Legislature is
an emphatic recognition of the fact that
all such favors are forms OF bribery
The principle is clear that corporations
which derive all their franchises from
law should not be allowed to bestOw gifts
upou the lawmakers or judges. Self
respect and a sense of official response
biIity undoubtedly lead to many re-
fusals of such petty bribery. But there
are persons whose sense OF duty Is not
acute, and who need the aid OF law.
The argument Of contempt in the matter
does not avail. A man may ask loftily
whether it is thought that he would sell
his good name for the price OF rail-
road ticket. The answer is that If he
knows the wrong so truly as not to be
guilty Of it, he has no excuse for not
6elping TO prevent it in the case of actual
ofanders. If many members of Leg
isIature would not be guilty, many would
be guilty. And if the pecuniary value
of the gift be 50 petty, why should any
honorable man wish to insist upon re-
ceiying it?
The art of the lobby is to create a sense
of obligation where direct bargain Is
limpracticable. The great corporation
gives free pass, pleasant dinner, a
charming supper; It has convenient
wines and cigars and various entertain
ment, and when the agent asks for
mere aye or no upon a simple little Dill
can it Be courteously refusedI Or sup

The battlefield OF Waterloo IS i lies
to-day IS an uuinspiring spectacle--a
good place to sit down and muses. On
life and men and the vanity Of human
things; but we hare yivacious little
guide who spared No time for musing,
but engaged US with very dramatic
recital in broken, though quite intelli-
rible. English of the stirring things
that happened on that bloody Sunday
in 1915. when Bonapartefs brief candle
went out and the European kaleido-
scope ratified itself into fresh combt-
nation. can't help sympathizing with
the bottom doc. The dramatic sym
metry of Napoleon's career wins rs
against our reason.
l went out to Waterloo with some
Enplishmen, and / took solid comfort
in giving them my small opinion Of
their Iron Duke, although we must al
low that he did this business very
handsomely.
But that guide. | shall not soon for
get him. He made more OF an impress
sion on me than all the books / have
read on the subject of Waterloo. He
omitted nothing. He.opened his soul
to US, and he suited the action to the
word. He gesticulated, he attitudin-
lied, in short, he fought the battle
over again for US. His English vas
doubly English. He was especially
happy in his '.hup, guards, hand hat
hemI'' He recited this thrilling Incl
dent over his shoulder as he led us
down the two hundred and odd steps
that mounted the summit of Mound OF
the Lion, and it was only by the most
extraordinary presence of mind that l
grasped the railing in time to escape q
fall.
The Mound of the Lion is an arti-
fetal elevation which has been reared
(very ill-adEisedly, L think) in the
midst of the field and of its earth,
thereby modifying the confguration OF
the landscape, so that one can not now
gain so accurate an idea of the battle
ground rs might otherwise have been
obtained-unless, indeed. the loss is
compensated BY the fact that the sum-
NIT of the mound affords a command
ing view.
The tranquility of the scene is inn
pressive, aud one is reminded OF By
"How that red rain has made the harvests
grow!"
never saw fairer stretch of coun-
try-hills and valleys and winding
roads and shining villages. Every feat
ure of this sweet landscape played its
part in the drama of that day. On the
right is the Chateau of Hougomont.
against which, ali day long. the French
lines beat like the waves of the sea
the key of the English position, held to
the last by the gallant Coldstream
Guards, though the house was burned
over their heads. The old brick wall
around the orchard still stands pierced
with loup holes, worn away by the pelt-
ingram of musket balls. If you have any
sort of Imagination you can stand there
to-day and see the fight. l suppose
there has scarcely been closer, hotter,
bloodier battle in modern times. The
zines were posted only mile apart,
and from the moment of the first as
sault upon Hougomont to the low.
