HURRY AND WORRY.

1t is not overwork, but worry, that
kills. Our men of brain might do a
great deal more than they do, if only
they were less feverish in their haste,
less harassed by worry,and less waste
full of energy. We are all in too
much OLA hurry in what we do. We
have too many irons in the fire, too
much business on hand, and are too
energetic in our endeavors. With
deliberation, GOODNESS and much re-
serve Of strength as results from per-
feet restraint, a man may do an in
finity of work without trouble.
The system of breathless haste and
eager anxiety is rapidly undermined
ing the human constitution. We are
impatient for results. Statesmen
and politicians are kept in the strain
of sustained attention, and their
brains are for many hours of twenty
four in Il state of ferment. The
brains of spectators on the stock ex-
change, and even the brains of mer-
chants in. their private rooms are
taxed in the same way. All classes
OF the community share the turmoil.
The period is one as brain-working
impetuosity; of hurry and waste ~
the waste Of cerebral energy and
nerve force. the higher nerve-oen-
ters are kept necessarily at work,
and become, as it We're, over-heated,
so that it is impossible they should
quiet or cool down in their brief pc
Rod allotted to repose. Too often
they do not rest even in sleep. The
brain only dozes instead of sleeping,
and as a result they are dreams of
the recent days work-that infalli-
Bile symptom of impending mischief.
The only marvel is that, looking to
the unphysiological character of our
mental and nervous habits of work,
the number Of sudden failures are not
greater than they are, and that we
have not a larger percentage ofbrain
mortality to deplore.

THE FUN OF GOING TO LAW.

The Oloan Herald says: Miller and
Hall were neighbors whose farms adj
joined each other, between whom
there neither existed love nor ahec-
ton. On the 4th OF January, 1882,
Hall seized nine mich COWS belonging
to Miller, under the law provided for
the seizure OF animals running at
large in the highway The cows es-
capped from Miler's premises through
gap left open for few moments by
third party who was drawing wood
across Miller's land. They passed
down the road and entered Halls
premises, and were then seized. Ten
minutes later Miller sent his man at
ter the cattle, offering to pay DANA
ges, but Hall refused to settle accept
according to law, which provided for
the sale of the cattle after a certain
number Of days to pay for damages
done. The case, under this act, came
before Justice w. L. Gould, of Hin
dale, and a jury on the 10th of June.
They found the seizure to be mali
cious and without probable cause, and
ordered the plaintiff to return the
animals, pay S10.96 cost and $50

MADDENED BY RIM.

Fred Berkely, Jr., a son of one of
the leading citizens and prominent
man about Salem, Ind, who had been
on a prolonged spree, appeared on
the streets late afternoon, reeling
along with slow and unsteady gait.
Suddenly he drew large navy revol-
yer from his hip pocket and began fir
ing indiscriminately at ever one who
CHANGED to pass near him. The first
who came within range of the mad
mans deadly weapon was Miss Laura
Kleiner, who was struck by two of
the bullets, one hitting her in the
waist and the other tearing out a
piece of her shoulder. The next
shot struck William McClanaham in
the hand, severed one of the tendons.
producing an ugly and painful wound.
At this moment w. S. Percise came
into range and sustained severe
flesh wound in the thigh. Jordan
Payne was the neXtyictim. He came
around the corner with companion
and on seeing Berkely attempted to
drive out of danger, but the assassin
was teo quick for him and before he
could escape shot him in the breast,
the ball passing just below the heart.
As Payne fell Berkcly dragged him
from the buggy and covered Payne's
companion and ordered him to drive
ON. He then dashed down the street
and attempted to escape. from the
crowd which had gathered Finding
this impossible he placed the pistol
to his head and fred, Within fifteen
minutes the young man was dead.
Payne is lying at the point OF death.
No cause can be assigned for Berke-
ley's bloody work except that he was
completely maddened BY liquor.

NEW YORK REFORMATORy.

The convict who enters the Elmira
(New York; Reformatory is informed
Of the maximum time for which he
can be detained, and that he can by
perfect conduct win his release in
one year. To effect this he must
gain a certain number Of credit marks,
and these are constantly liable to be
cancelled by neglect or i'll behavior.
In the shop he is marked according
to his diligence, his sharp attention
to his work, and bis yoluntariness at
his labor. If he is listless, Sights
his work, and does not give his mind
and energy to it, he not only misses
his credit marks, but will get discred-
it marks. There is no escape for
him he must work with Il will. In
behavior he must be perfect in ODE
dience to the many and minute rules
laid down, Of which he has printed
copy. In school he is required to
study according to his capacity, and
the marking is much the same as in
a well-regulated high school. But
while he must be perfect in work
and behavior, he will pass in school
if he gains seventy-fve in the scale
of one hundred. To be perfect three
marks must be earned at the end of
each month in all these three de-
partments. If he has nine marks at
the end Of each month for six sue
cessiye months he rises out of the in
termediatc grade into the first grade.
Ii, after being put in the first grade,
he makes nine good marks each
month for six mouths, he may be re-
leased But if he does not in six
months, in the intermediate grade,
reach promotion to the first grade, or
at any time that his conduct demands
I Il, he is put into the third grade.
No matter how well he works or how
hard he studies, if he is guilty of mis-
conduct he goes down in the third
! grade; no matter how well he behaves,
I If he won't work he goes down; no
matter how well he behaves and
works, if he won't study he goes
down.

SLEEP.

Never sleep in the day time, if you
can avoid it, Retire regularly at the
same hour each night-at least by
ten o'clock and rise in the morning
as soon as you wake. Make bust
ness of sleeping when you DO retire.
Dismiss from your mind every care
and every thought, and dispense
with all conversation. Never sleep
over eight hours in one night. Do
not sleep on your back, or with your
mouth open. The best position is
one on the right side. Let your
sleeping room be large as possible,
with one side at least to the sun (an
upper story is preferable and in
oil weather have your window rails
ed or lowered at least two or three
inches. In very damp or cold weather
inyalids should have a fire to get up
by. let the outdoor air occupy
your sleeping apartment, with your
bed clothes well exposed to il nearly
all the forenoon. Change all Of your
clothes on going to bed. Observe
these rules strictly, and you viii sleep
sweetly and soundly, and rise refresh
| ed and invigorate ted in the morning.

THE WORLD AS 1T Wages.

Poverty is the heritage of the large
majority Of our race, and, to speak
after the manner of men, though it
is great Inconvenience, it is not
necessarily disgrace. Some calcu-
lating genius has estimated that if
the money of the world was divided
up into equal shares each individual
would have less than fifty dollars.
80 under that condition it were i'm
possible for everybody to be rich.
But if this vast pile of filthy lucre
were thus divided, one tenth of the
population would have it all in yerv
short while, and the other nine-tentbs
be reduced to state of dependence,
II not pauperism. All men have not
a financial turn, nor the tenacity of
grip requisite tor holding on after
money has been obtained. The world
as it wags is doubtless in accordance
with the plans OF the Creator. There
must be those who command and
those who obey; men to plan and
others to execute. The lordly prince
and the impecunious beggar are in
tegral parts Of our wonderful system.
Slnecures are comparatively few,
while "hewers Of wood and drawers
OF water" are many.
Fortunately happiness is not con-
tlngent upon pecuniary resources.
Content with ones condition, what
ever it may be, is the keynote to sat
lstaction and happiness. The mill
lonaire may be racked with care,
while the mendicant may contain
within himself the elements of peace
and contentment. Envy is a fruitful
source Of much of the worlds misery.
1t is one of the bitterest dregs in the
cup OF human life. People who are
dead failures themselves in every I'M
portant sense cannot complacently
look upon success and prosperity in
others. They hate those who out
rank them in any particular, and lev
ell their feeble batteries in the hope
Of taking the wind out Of the sails of
those who seem to be borne ON pro-
pltlous breezes. If man does his
level best under the circumstances
by which he is surrounded he does
well and deserves praise. This will
apply physically, mentally and NOR
ally. Comparatively few do as well
as they might, though excuses for
failure are never lacking. Most men
might better their pecuniary condi-
ton by proper foresight, thriit and
economy. They might improve and
increase their mental resources and
pleasures, by properly appropriating
wasted time. They might gain moral
conquest and victories by subordina-
ting the sensual to a higher grade of
intellectual and heart pleasures.
They might enjoy more of solid com
fort to-day by leaving to the future
things which belong to the future.
There are many people addicted to
borrowing but the most proftless
thing they can do is to borrow troub-
lie, and if it be borrowed the sooner
it is returned to the lender the bet
ter. Man is creature of immense
capabilities, but often, by his own
folly, becomes the worst OF failures

WILL ITPAY?

What big thing is that Panama
Canal project. Those French are
wonderful folks in finance. The orig
inal survey put the cost of the Canal
at 1853 million OF dollars, NJ. de Les
seps cut this estimate to 100 millions
no mite of sum itself. He foated
90 millions of loan and began work.
A MIR. Nelson has been inspecting
the canal. Between 90 and 125 mil
lions of dollars have been spent, and
only one twentieth of the work has
been done. A tidal basin not esti-
mated for will cost 30 millions alone.
An excavation at Culebra Will cost
10 to so millions. The dam of the
Chagres river at Gamboa, estimated
to cost twenty millions, is said to be
lmpracticable. The climate is so ia
tai that system of hospitals costing
two and half millions has had to be
built, the death rate reaching 40 in
every 1000 laborers. The conclusion
of Mr.. Nelson is, that to complete
the canal will cost from 400 to 500
million of dollars, which renders the
project commercial impossibility,
as no existing tonnage could pay in
terest on such a fabulous sum. 1t
remains to be seen if those marvel
Gus and indomitable Frenchmen will
persist in the Titanian undertaking.

WHAT DOES 1T MATTER !

1t matters little where | was born,
Or if my parents were rich or poor,
Whether they shrank at the cold world
scorn
Or walked in the pride of wealth secure,
But whether | live an honest man,
And hold my integrity firm in my clutch,
tell you, brother, as plain as can,
1t matters much
| matters little how long stay
In a world of sorrow, sin and care,
Whether in youth am called away,
Or live till my bones of flesh are bare;
But whether do the best can
To soften the weight of adversity's touch,
On the faded cheek of fellow man,
1t matters much.
1t matters little where be my grave
If on the land or on the sea-
By purling brook, Or meath stormy wave,
1t matters little or not to me;
But whether the angel Of death comes down
And marks my brow with loving touch,
And one that shall wear the visitor crown.
1t matters much

4 MIND READER.

Miss Matte Pound, sister to the
editors of the Macon, Ga, News, is
mind reader She does not require
to touch the person whose thoughts
she wishes to divine, but simply fixes
her eyes on the PERSONS face and
quickly tells of what the person is
thinking. She does even more than
this. She tells the thought in ex-
actly the words the person would use
if he would tell it himself. Members
of Miss Pounds family are frequent
ly surprised to hear her repeat in
words their most secret thoughts.
and they are equally surprised at the
readiness with which she does it.
She seems to be unconscious of any
strange feeling when thus engaged,
and suffers no inconvenience from it.
She is in fine health, bodily and men
tally. Another fact connected with
Miss Pound quite as curious as the
one already mentioned is that she
frequently foretells events in dreams.
She has done this SO often, that when
at the breakfast table she says, Il
dreamed, last night, that such a thing
will happen at such a time, her
mother and brothers are sure that
the event will come to pass.

Conversation IN the family should
be most carefully guarded and cul-
tivated. The character of the chill
dren will, in great measure, depend
upon it. Ii it is loose and careless,
parents can not blame any one but
themselves if their children initiate
them in this respect. A spirit of
love and tenderness should charao-
ter4ze the home conversation. If
the atmosphere of home is that of
strife and contention and frivolous
language, what can we expect of
children Guard well what you

both now roam around in the barn

chase it, and then it makes dash

The State taxes show three mil
lions increase. Fulton county claims
a million and quarter; Charlton
over two millions Richmond de-
creased s860,0O0, and Floyd lost
100000. Muscogee increased 1899
600, and Bib and Hancock each in
creased 100000. Walton lost $780,
600 and Clarke gained S95, 900. The
Comptroller thinks that much of this
was due to the manner in which the
returns are required to be made.
