RESTING AFTER MEALS.
Suggestions Worthy Of the Attention
Evesy Sufferer from Dyspepsia.

| SuEGestions Worthy Of the Attention Of
Evesy Sufferer from Dyspepsia.
Hurried eating of meals, followed
Immediately by some employment that
occupies the whole attention and takes
up all. or nearly all, of the physical
energies, is sure to result in dyspepsia
in one form or another. Sometimes il
| shows itself in excessive irritability. a
sure indication that nerve force has
been exhausted; the double draught in
order to digest the food and carry on
the business has been more than nature
could stand without being thrown out
of balance. In another case, the per-
son is exceedingly dull As soon as he
has few minutes of leisure. The
mind seems dead blank, and can only
move in its accustomed channels, and
then only when compelled. This. al
SO, is an indie alton of nervous exhaus-
ton. Others will have decided pains
il the stomach, or a sense of weight.
as if heavy burden was inside.
Others. again, will be able to eat moth
ing that will agree with them; every
thing that is put inside the stomach is
made the subject of violent protest
on the part of that organ. and the per-
son suffers untold agonies in conse-
quence. Others suffer from constant
hunger. They may eat all they can.
and feel hungry still. If they feel sat-
isfied for little time, the least un-
usual exertion brings on the hungry
feeling, and they can do no more
until something is eaten. 1t is almost
needless to say that this condition is
not hunger, but inflammation of the
stomach. Scarcely any two persons
are affected exactly in the same way,
the disordered condition manifesting
itself according to temperament and
occupation. employments that call for
mental work, and those whose scene
Of action lies indoors, affecting per-
sons more seriously than those carried
on in the open air and those which are
merely mechanical and do not engage
the mind.
All, or nearly all. of these difficulties
of digestion might have never been
known by the sufferers had they left
their business behind them and rested
. short time after eating. instead of
rushing off to work Immediately after
hastily swallowing their food.
Nature does not do two things at q
time and do both well, as a rule. All
know that when a force is divided, it
is weakened. If the meal were eaten
slowly, without preoccupation of the
mind. and the stomach allowed at
least half an hours chance to get its
work well undertaken before the nerv-
GUS force is turned in another direc-
ton, patients suffering from dyspepsia
would be few.
A physician once said: lit does not
so much matter what we eat as how
we eat it." While this is only partly
true, it certainly is true that the most
healthful food hurriedly eaten. and i'm
mediately followed by work which en-
cages the entire available physical and
mental forces, is much worse than q
meal of poor food eaten leisurely and
followed by an interval of rest-Joxs-

better and is thus more easily handled.

better and is thus more easily handled
1t is first weighed and then started into
a ball by being held in one hand a-1d
wrapped with stout twine by the
other. As ttt mass gathers shape it is
pounded solid by heavy mallet. When
the leather has been sufficiently on
twined to make it hold together it is
sent to the pressing machine. This
machine is nothing more tbap a die,
the required size of the ball being made,
and il operated by hand. The rough
circular mass is placed in cup-like re-
ceptacle, down upon which SEMI
spherical cover is brought with about
ton force. This congresses the mass
almost solid and shapes it into perfect
sphere. II is then placed in an oven
and dried. after which it is ''filled out"
like the professional ball and covered.
The covers of these balls are cut like
those of the professional. but they are
sewed by women and girls. The stitch
is also the same, but no awl is used and
the ball is held in the hand while being
sewed.
But few Of the very cheap balls are
made, as in former days. of sawdust.
The packing OF the sawdust takes too
long. and they are now made on the
pressing machine of leather in the
manner just described. except that the
scrap, after being weighed. instead of
being wrapped first, is crowded into
the lower receptacle while loose and
pressed into ball. Itis then wrapped
with just enough twine to hold it to-
gether. After covering, the balls are
sent to the packing room, where they
are assorted and stamped. The max
er's name, brand and. in some in
stances. the size are stamped on the
ball. They are then packed in paste
board boxes ready to be cased for ship
ping. The finest balls are each
wrapped in silver foil and packed in a
separate box, which is sealed.-Ph hita-

The OIdcst Yet

Our esteemed friend, Henry Brum-
back, Esq, has kindly shown us the old
est deed for Page county land that We
have yet seen. Ii is dated Nov. -,
1874, and executed by VIM. Gooch in
the name of George II, by the Grace Of
God, King Of Great Britain and Ireland,
and Defender of the Faith to John
Landrum Of the County, of Spottsylvdnia,
of which Page at that time formed a part,
the consideration named being - shil-
lings. The land conveyed is thought TO
be that now owned by Mr.. J. II. Cullers,
near Sandy Hook We notice that in
speaking of the River il is called the
"Sherando," whether by mistake, or
whether il was then known by that name
we are not able to say. Mr.. b. also
showed us another deed executed in i777
between Henry Hasten, Sr., and the
County Of Dmnmore, and Colony Of Vir-
ginia, of the one part, and John Hasten,
Of the same County and Colony, Of the
other part, the consideration being D
shillings, and the tract containing 232
acres, supposed by Mr. B. to be the land
now owned by r. G. Mauck, Esq The
deeds are both legibe and well preserved,
the older one being written ON shcep-skin

The Maryland line is about two miles
south of Newark, and the tracks of the
Baltimore and Ohio extension run across
the sharp angle Of Pennsylvania, which
extends down between Delaware and
Maryland, at point where it is five feet
wide After the first train stopped over
the Maryland line most Of the persons on
board alighted aud picked their way $50
feet through the mud and water to the
point in the woods where the three States
meet The spot is indicated first by
long stone just above the surface, which
marks Mason and Dixon's line. Beside
it is planted a triangular stone, with the
initials of Delaware, Maryland and
Pennsylvania cut on the various sides.
On the west side is the following IN
scription Erected by II. G. 5. Key,
Nd, J. p. Eyre, Pa; G. r. Riddle,
Del, Commissioners, 1S49." Some Of
the visitors mounted the stone in order TO
say that they SAT in three States at one
time; Others placed their thumbs on the
apex of the stone in order to say that
they had their thumbs in the three States
at one time, while Others still stood in the
narrow strip of Pennsylvania aud ex-
tended one hand into Maryland and the
other into Delaware. The stone is about
three feet high and the three sides each
about fourteen inches wide. 1t is called
a prismatic stone.

me Georgia Giris.

If it is really true that Grover Cleye-
land wants to marry he should come to
Georgia and look about him before max
ing selection elsewhere. The Georgia
girl is finely formed, straight, true as
steel, teuder-hearted and takes her beau
ty fresh from the hand Of that kindly ma
ure that surrounds her. When she weds
she honor- prince, potentate or private
citizen, and whom she will She weds.
We simply propose to put him in the way
10 work out his own salvation. Hon0rs,
power and titles sill avail him nothing
for the Georgia girl is not q mugwump
flirting with first one party and then an
other. She follows her heart and stick
eth closer than brother. War cannot
shake her of, pestilence disturbs her not,
misfortune but tightens her grip and
poverty she laughs at. The man who
marries a typical Georgia girl and con-
tinues to be q man has q wife for all

With her brown loosened hair a ceaseless play
\ poet CHANGED to pass as there she lay;
Her sun burnt face her tatters he surveyed;
\ golden coin between her lips he laid,
And letting her sleep on, he went his way.
What came of that gold windhll? Didit breed
Those long lovd coins which patient thrift can
show
With proud, pure smile 10 meet the household
need?
Or stolen gold? or those curst coins which
grow
Each year more sought, more loath'd, and are
the need
Ofwoman's loveless kisses who can know?
