According TO the Lancet, ''brain ten
sion is not proof of strength, but of
weakness. The knit brow, straining
eyes, and fixed attention of the scholar
are not tokens eff power, but of effort.
The intellectual man with strong
mind does his brain work easily. Ten
sion is friction, and the moment the
toll of a growing brain becomes labori-
Gus it should cerse. We are, unfortun-
ately, SO accustomed to see brain work
done with effort that we have come to
associate effort with work; and to re-
gard tension as something tolerable, if
rot natural. AS matter of fact, no
man should ever knit his brow as he
thinks, OF in any way evince effort as
he works. The best brain work is done
easily, with calm spirit, an equable
temper, and in jaunty mood, All else
is the toll of a weak or ill-developed
brain straining to accomplish a task
which is relatively too great for it.

THE ESCHOOLMISTRESS INFLUENCE.


In a little school house, nestled un-
der the shadow of a mighty bowlder in
the Adirondacks, we found three child
rem in session; one of them a harmless
little idiot, sent there for safe keeping,
and bright little woman as busy as
she could be in the teachers work.
Whereupon we better understood
fact that for many years has attracted
our attention-that when the Empire
State finds itself hard up for states
man, Judge or a Senator to defend
her system of education, she telegraphs
northward, and a Hale, Hand, and a
Gilbert come forth, without fail, to an
swer the call. Indeed, about every
man who is doing big things in this
country to-day is alive in the upper
story Of his manhood, largely on the
strength of certain roots that cling
about little schoolmistress whom he
worshipcd, rs wisdom, beauty and
love incarnate, in the far-off days, seat
ed on a hard bench in some little red
school house among the valleys and
the hills.

Mrs Harvey, nee Miss Quiglcy, was
born in Ireland. About twenty-one years
ago she became acquainted with Michael
Harvey and become his wife a year
thereafter. They moved to Dakota five
years ago, on the farm three miles south
of town. On May is, in state of men
tai arrangement brought about by tall,
she took some Lewis lye, from the effects
of which she died on the 10Th. Mrs.
Harney was one Of the few that are hon
ored and respected by everybody she came
in contact with. She stated on her death
bed that it was no lack of affection on the
part of her husband or any member of the
family that prompted her to take the step
that she took, but confessed that she must
have been out of her mind She died in
full possession of reason and was recon-
ciled by her religious belief, conscious Of
reaching the destination of every true
christian. It has never been our privilege
to witness so large a turnout of friends,
relatives and neighbors to any funeral,
willis the procession was mile long, ev,
cry one being anxious to pay the last sad
tribute of their lost friend. She leaves a
husband and eight children, besides the
whole neighborhood to mourn herloss, but
there will be glorious reunion when life:
stormy battles are over.

Female Telegraph Operators.

"Do women make as good operators as
n1en?" I inquired of Western Union Of

:'Quite as good, Twas the reply; "that is,
when they attend to business. Some Of them
are occasionally little lax, but the men are,
zoo, for that matter" ....
"How about their pay?" s....r
''Well the pay is not as large as that re-
ceived by the men. Many of our local Offices
were at the start attended to by young
women who took commission on their returns
as pay. Now, however, we have them all
under salary. Out of town we have hundreds.
was going to say, of offices in the care Of
female operators. They are small offices, at
places where man would not stay. For in
stance at a village of couple of score of
houses we could not afford to keep an opera
sor at a city salary. But by paying
some young girl who lives there
$25 or $50 month, which is more
than she could earn in such q
place at much harder labor, we are able to
keep the line open to furnish facilities which
the residents find frequent need of. The same
remarks apply to many branch Offices here
and in other cities where business is light, but
was not for our women operators these places
would not be supplied with telegraphic service
at ALL" ., 81.
"Don't these telegraph operators in small
towns have great deal of unoccupied time
on their hands?'
eyes, sometimes they go for hours together
without having message to send or receive.
Some of them spend their time in reading,
others in sewing, and one young lady actually
studied and learned French, while another I
know is digging away at German. In coun-
try places, where men are employed as oper-
ators, they frequently unite that with some
other occupation Some Of them even keep q
store, or act as agent for the express COM
panies. The country operator has a very
pleasant time of it, and when anything big
happens, like a hanging or murder, and
there is lots of work to be done, men are
always sent from the city to help him out. )"
