REST IN ACTION.
Absolute Rest and Perpetual Activity
Equally Incompatible With Life.

Absolute Rest and Perpetual Activity
Equally Incompatible With Life.
Absolute perpetual rest and absolute
perpetual activity are equally incom-
patible with life. Each, duly balanced,
Is the complement of the other. Sleep
is simply rest in its completest form
rest Of muscle, rest of brain and rest OF
all the organs, save those necessary to
existence. The tough heart rests be-
tween the beats, nor can it be much &C.
tolerated by stimulants without imme-
date or remote injury. The harder
working lungs rest between inspiration
and expiration.
The brain must have rest, or fail
Such case of unresting activity as that
of Henry Kirke White-and there have
been thousands like it-should show
scholars that nature holds it an unpar-
donable sin to rob the brain of its right
full rest. Others, who toiled like White,
instead OF paying the penalty in early
death. have exchanged genius for mad
ness or imbecility.
But large part of our needed rest
may be secured in connection with a
high degree OF activity. The clerk
threatened with writers cramp' may
escape, not so well by lying for a month
in a reclining-chair as by engaging in
athletic games choprng wood, or
rambling in the forests.
Generally only small part of the
brain is unduly used, and that may be
recuperated by calling into action some
other part; that is, by change of mental
application. Gladstone doubtless rests
his brain from the cares of State as
much by such studies as Homer as by
the sturdy blows of his ak. The pas
tors calls at the homes of his flock not
only double the GOOD of his preaching,
but most effeStually rest his brain BY
the change.
The mere money getter tends to be-
come monomeniac. The miser diving
in filth and rngs beside his boarded
gold, is the end of avarice. The power
and the disposition to accumulate need
to be balanced by the disposition and
the power to use acquisitions properly
and wisely.
If one has overworked both stomach
and brain. let him beware how he Yields
to the temptation to stimulate them
artiticially to their wonted activity. On
the contrary, let him give each long
rest, while he bestirs himself to gen
eral invigoration of his physical system.
So whatever organ has been over
used. rest that. And this can COM
monty best be done in connection with
. full, or special, activity of other
parts Youths COnQDanion,

sEASoNABLE SUGGESTIONS.
A Chapter on Prudence in Conduct and
Temperance in Diet.

The extreme heat of the season, with
the increased number of deaths. suggest
great prudence in conduct and temper
ance in diet. A large proportion of the
fatal results traceable to thermal causes
might easily be prevented by a little.
care. OF course the few who can afford
to crafty their desires by fleeing to
some cool and quiet retreat, and then
have the good judgment to be tenn per-
ate In their habits, are the furthesi re-
moved from all seasonable dangers, but
to the many this is impossible. The
less fortunate ones can comply with
well established hygienic principles.
Cleanliness is Of the first importance
and it applies not only to the person,
but also to the premises. The body
should be sponged once day. and
twice is better, with water not cold;
clothing next to the person should be
frequently changed; the bedroom and
linen should be thoroughly ventilated
and aired after Use. The common
practice Of shutting up the sleeping
room all day in order to keep it dark
should be avoided; the clothing shoald
be aired throughout the day. and the
couch not made up for use until even
ing. Keep no fresh meat or deoayed
vegetation anywhere about the premises
Whitewash the cellar and be careful to
avoid keeping remnants OF food about
to decay and mould.
Equal In Importance to cleanliness is
the supply of pure air. Let every room
in the house from cellar to garnet be
abundantly ventilated during some
portion of each day. Flies and hot air
are preferable to dark. stuffy apart
ment, which is thus converted into a
disease breeding nest. Hot air naturally
rises, and, If the upper rooms are kept
closed throughout the day, they will be
found charged with the foul air that has
been generated in the living rooms.
Take the utmost care of the sewers
Temperance should be observed, both
in eating and drinking. Where the
appetite or the vocation demand, it is
better to eat more frequently, rather
than overload the stomach at long in
tervals. Unripe fruit and vegetables are
poisonous, and are especially injurious
in hot weather. Meats and vegetables
should be thoroughly cooked before eat
ing, and all should be fresh when
cooked. Intemperance in the usually
regarded harmless summer drinks and
compounds is followed by as serious re-
suits as over-indulgence in alcoholic
beverages. Eat and drink seasonable.
ripe, well cooked food and light fluids
in small quantities and at more frequent
intervals.
Do not attempt any over-exertion or
excitement of body or mind. Start in
time to meet every engagement without
hurrying. Whether in the harvest field
at the work bench, in the counting
room or study, or enjoying the leisure
and comforts that wealth afford, be
careful to observe these precautions.
There are none so poor or unfortunate
that they may not have them, and none
SO rich that they can safely neglect
them. These hints are useful at every
season, but they are essential now and
will be during the succeeding six weeks

California Orchards.

Ten years ago, according to the San
Francisco Bulletin. if any one had pre-
dicted that hill land in California. well
up the mountain sides and covered with
chapparal, would be covered with vine
yards and orchards, most people would
have put no faith in such anticipations.
But to-day one sees the vineyards and
orchards creeping up the mountain
sides from 1000 to $500 feet high. and
some at even greater attitudes. Dwell
ing houses are perched upon elevations
where few years ago no one would
have taken the land as a gift under an
agreement to cultivate it. These new
vineyards and orchards are the last to
be overtaken by any of the pests found
at lower elevations.

THE Oho ORCHARD.

a something that's beyond compare;
But unto me the one most fair
Is Of grey old orchard sweet,
With bloom leaves scattered at my feet,
With robins fitting through the trees,
And music from the humming bees
It was my childhood's playing ground,
And Of It brightest memories come,
MY brothers and my sisters dear
Played In 1t round our happy home;
When all our little tasks were done
The orchard echoed with our fun;
and robin gay, now gone.to rest,
Tuned up his throat, with ruffled crest,
But wondering husbed, In mute surprise
While listening TO the merry cries

What though your usefulness BIO DER,
You re living In my memory yet
As bright 6s 10 the days OF yore,
Ehen your spring blossoms, pink and fair,
&ade fragrant all the balmy air:
Or when your summers leafy shade

Or atrtumn's sYnripe fruit SO sweet

And by our father stored away

The years into lifetime grow,

But only death from me can take

The Goods That Are Considered the Thing
to Denote Grief
For mourning wear there is new
material. the crepe imperial, that bears
a close resemblance to Grape, although
it is made of wool. 1t Is not only less
expensive than the Grape japonica and
the silk and wool Grape Jappo, but it
is durable enough to last as long as it
is necessary to use it. The popular cam
vas cloths, nearly transparent In their
delicate lightness, and the fine nuns

perfectly adapted for the summer
months. There Is new cotton mate

black dye and guaranteed to be fast jet

Extremely heavy mourning is no longer
imperative, especially for widows, who
