Exercise in Your Office.

The restless discomfort which comes
from long STOPPING over a desk or
COMPRISING ones liver for hours on
the edge of a drawing board is apt to
seek relief in skylarking or idleness,
or if the conscientious clerk or
draughtsman still sticks to his work it
is with reluctant fingers and beclouded
brain, and the output" deteriorates
both in quality and quantity. In such
n case five or ten minutes brisk use of
the clubs OF chest weights will c
plish more than an hours skylarking
or any amount of loafing. 1t has a
wonderful good effect in quickening
the stagnant circulation, and a clear
head and strong hand take up the
work with renewed vigor. 1t is sur
prising what a little vigorous exercise
viii accomplish if systematically
taken. A few minutes once or twice
q day, at most three times, will soon
give most satisfactory results in health
and efficiency.-Health.

An ingenious stopper has lately been
patented for use in bottles containing
poisons. The stopper is made of india
rubber, and is surmounted by a per
forated ball of india rubber brightly
colored SO as to render it distinctive in
the light, and containing a bell which
rattles when the bottle is moved, thus
drawing attention to the character of
the contents, even though it be impo5-
sible to see the label. Such a warming
stopper would have rendered impos3i-
bic many of the accidents which have
from time to time taken place, notably
one a few months ago, when a dis
tinguished surgeon lost his life owing
to a mistake as to a bottle containing
poisonous medicine. -Cassell's Family

THE YOUTH OF NATURE.

For, oh! is it you, is it you,

Or the poet who sings you so well?
More than the singer are these
Yourselves and your fellows ye know not; and mo
The mateless, the one, will we know?
win ye scan me, and read me, ard tell
OF the thoughts that ferment in my breast.
My longing, my sadness, my joy?
win ye claim for your great ones the gift
To have rendered the CLEAN of my skies,
To have echoed the moan of my seas,
Uttered the voice of my hills?
WhcH your great ones depart, will ye say:
81 things have suffered u loss,
E,Gure is hid in their grave

LIE dream'd that l lived but for them,
Tat they were my glory and joy.
They are dust, they are changed, they are gone!

seen during the present advance, and
despite free realization on all parts of the

TO keep prices moving upward nearly all
day long. An upward movement was ex-
pected in the last half hour by free reali-
