How Women Rest.
~. VI xVUs


How differently men and women indulge
themselves in what is called n resting spell.
"I guess III sit down aud mend these stock
ings and rest awhile,n says the wife, but her
husband throws himself upon the easy lounge
or sits back in his armchair, with hands at
rest and feet placed horizontally upon another
chair. The result is that his whole body gains
full benefit Of the half hour he allows himself
from work, aud tile wife only receives that I'm
direct help which comes from change OF occu-
patton. A physician would tell her that taxi
Ing even ten minutes rest In n horizontal po-
sition, as change from standing or sitting at
work, would prove more beneficial TO her than
any OF her makeshfts at resting. Busy
women have habit of keeping on their feet
just as long as they can, In spite of backaches
aud warning pains. AS they grow older they
see the folly Of permitting such drafts upon
their strength and learn TO take things easier,
let what will happen. They say, ~ used TO
think must do thus and so, but I've grown
wiser and learned to slight things" The first
years NJ housekeeping are truly the hardest,
FOR untried and unfamiliar cares are almost
daily thrust upon the mother and home maker.

del of rule" on the 9th of November last

THE New YORK sun gets even with
Bishop Coke of Buffalo, N. Y for
his attack upon American politics as
shown up in the last election, by
calling his attention to the fact tina!
his father spelled his name without the
final c, and that he belonged to the
Presbyterian church. a less fashionable
body than the Episcopal church, to which
the son belongs. We might suggest, as
one cause of the Bishops gloomy view,
hat his name is Arthur Clowldnd Coke.

UT, WUTTeT8ON,
No man pretends that all is as 1t should be

Growth OF Life Insurance.

The impetus that has been given to the life
insurance business during the last twenty
years Is something remarkable, and that it
has assumed the rank Of great profession Is
attested by the large number of s'brainyr
men and men of sterling character who are
engaged in 1t. So legitimate a calling has it
become that the large insurance companies
today are not required to send out loquacious
agents to preach to tho people, as Of yore, on
the moral aspects Of life Insurance The
fact that q life insurance policy is good
thing for any man of moderate means to hold
is already pretty well established, and the
question Of securing one, the more he con-
siders it, forces itself upon every man of
limited income, who has the welfare Of his
family at heart. The only discouraging
thing about 1t Is that there are so many
thousands Of men who either viii not provide
for their families in this way or who neglect
doing SO until it Is too late. To put the
question bluntly. What other hope has a
wage Garner Of providing something for his
family to live upon after be has passed awayf
