REST AND RECREATION
Should Consist of Reversing the Strain
Upon Parts Most in Ordinary Use.
DIR. D. A. sargent's Lecturer

Should Consist OF ASeVeTSAHS INC
Upon Parts Most in Ordinary Use.
DIR D. A sargents Lecture.l
The exhaustion entailed by this busy
life of ours is tremendous, and so depletes
the nervous system that disease is invited,
and, the system being so exhausted, one
falls an easy victim to the disease. Thus 1t
is that recreation is absolutely necessary
for the health of mankind. Recreation
is that which, with the least expenditure
of time, fits the person to resume his
work. The recreation must, of
course vary according to the daily
life of the person. The organs not under
the control of the will, such as the heart
and the secretory organs. receive rest i'm
mediately after performing duty, but 1t
is not so with the muscles of the body.
A good digestion is necessary for recre-
alton. As long as nutriment is kept up,
endurance is likely to continue. Digestion
is always greatly aided by proper physical
exercise, and it is thus that we may say
exercise is the best of recreation. The
fundamental of recreation is a change
from one class of work to another, the
brain worker requiring muscular exercise
and the mechanic brain work Both
classes will find a certain amount of emo
tional recreation to their advantage. 1t is
well known that low spirits tend to lower
the vital tone and render one liable to
disease.
Those most in need of recreation are
those engaged in work of a sedentary ma
ture. Professional men should have recre-
alton largely of a physical nature. A
brisk walk is what physicians most
frequently recommend for exercise, but
for a person not accustomed to exercise
this is not always beneficial, for, his
brain being the only part of his body that
is kept in activity, the exercise forces the
blood into the head, and he returns home
with a severe headache. Such a man
should take passive exercise, such as row
ing, sailing. or hunting, where the mind
could be in slight activity also.
The majority of men engaged in mer-
camille pursuits get enough physical exer-
else from their everyday life, and their
recreation should be of mental nature
A few days in the country, a change
of scenery, is beneficial to every one
Stock brokers and bankers require very
quiet recreation, but instead they try to
ing of sports, which is really no change
clerks are recommended to attend light
entertainments, such as concerts and lect.
ures, or play cards, chess, checkers, or
other games of that nature
Women and children, the former es-
pecially, rely too much on excitement for
recreation, and carry it to such an excess
that it becomes simply dissipation. A dis
tinction must be understood between eX-
element which invigorates and excite.
ment which eXhausts. Dancing and roller
skating are excellent exercises, but under
the excitement of the music is too often
continued to exhaustion.

THE BUSINESS OF GOVERNMENT.

1t is amusing to note the patriotic
tone adopted by individuals and
newspapers when advising the Gov
ernment to spend money for this and
that purpose. One very respectable
gentleman suggests that the Hawa-
iian Government should initiate the
example of an Australian Govern
ment and purchase one or more dia-
mond well-boring machines from the
New York makers, ftO develop the
dry lands of the Hawaiian Islands,
that only need water to make them
fruitful and source of wealth to the
Government and people," This
sounds nice, and looks well in print;
but the condition of this country and
of any Australian Colony is very dis
similar.
First, each one of the Australian
Colonies has a vast area of public
land belonging to the Government,
which would fetch a high price if
water could be put upon it.
Second, there is enormous loss of
try and along the cattle trails from
the interior to the seaport markets,
and it is absolutely essential that
wells should be sunk at convenient
distances along the line of travel.
This subject engaged the attention of
the New South Wales Legislature
last session.
Third, there is a steady stream of
voluntary and free immigration from
Europe, and it has become necessary
to find suitable land with water right
for agricultural settlement.
Fourth, the Australian Colonies do
not shirk taxation. Besides a tariff,
more or less Onerous, there are in
each multiplicity of general and
local taxes. Among the general inn
posts are personal and property
tax, land tax, stamp, succession and
legacy duties, registration fees; pas
toral rents and licenses; gold export
duty in some; an income tax, pro-
posed if not enforced, in others. The
local taxes are very heavy, and are
imposed by municipal bodies for
local purposes, as in the States. In
deed, there are few more heavily taxed |
communities in the world than the |
Australian Colonies and New Zea- |
land, and they are perpetually in the
market borrowing money for one or
other enterprise or to pay off some
old loan.
Now, to speak of the Hawaiian
Government, with its very limited
income, circumscribed as it is by law,
buying costly well-boring machinery
and employing skilled labor to
use it on the arid lands of
these Islands, is simply absurd.
Almost in the same vein is the
statement that the Government
should import females to mate with
the males brought here for planta-
ton labor. If the money were forth
coming from any available source,
this should certainly be done. Pub
lie policy and public morals suggest
It; but with a property tax of 1 of !

President Arthur in each annual message after
the civil service act reaffirmed iudg-
ment of the executive department judgement
which he declared to express the view of every
member of his cabinet. In the daily acts of the
present administration the same judgment is ap-
proved and enforced. 1t is possible that number
of congressman and politicians of the dominant
porty, with considerable following of office
seekers may, notwithstanding the vastly aug
mented strength of enlightened public bpm
ion, repeat the folly of those of my own
party in 1874, by resisting the we'll matured
Judgment and definite policy of their own &d-
miniStrntion on the reform issue.
Ii such is to be the fact this is not the place for
showing why such an attempt would be far more
disastrous than the republican restoration of the
spoil system, against the advice of President
Grant. Such a course and the conflict it would
precipitate, would be regardless of the good re-
suits OF the civil service act, of any experience
IN its administration If any part | might have
in such a contest, l could far better serve the
course of reform in the exercise of that full lib
