Time for Recreation.

What little reputation L have as an
author was fairly won while I was a
hard working and successful lawyer.
On the other hand, my literary work
never Interfered in the least with my
law practice. l look upon well set
method of working as the chief secret
of success in any undertaking, provided
the native ability to succeed be gran
ted. l believe In the moral influence
and vitalizIng force of playing. A
man or a woman needs play-recrea-
tion-or whatever is the opposite of
work. l have always found time for
outdoor sports and have been the
gamer from them in every sense. 1t is
a morbid view Of life which would
show that in order to succeed one
must work all the year round. Play is
profitable if held within the bounds pre-
scribed by good judgment
L have frequently lost ''business" in
my profession by being absent from my
office when a client called, but 1t has
not made me poor or wretched. On the
contrary, L have gone right on getting
together a comfortable little fortune,
despite the clients / have lost. and I
am glad whenever L think about the
pleasure 1 had at my outdoor recreation
while some needier or more money loving
lawyer was getting few cases at my ex-
pense. To some people 1t may sound
like romance when 1 say that for nine
years past L have spent on an average
three months of each year in outdoor
recreation, at the same time success
fully practicIng law and pursuing lit
erary work with sufficient returns to
make very comfortable bank account.
Meanwhile 1 have been cheerful, in
good health and at all times glad to be
alive. What is the secretp Steady
habits, promptness in meeting every
obligation in law or literature, and a
OF painstaking labor.

ARM EXERCISE.
Walking Not Sufficient for the Preser-
walton OF Health.

Walking on an even surface, the
only variety OF physical exercise which
most business and professional men
get in town, is well known TO he a
poor substitute for arm exertion. The
reason is partially plain, since walking
Is almost automatic and involuntary.
The walking mechanism is set In mo-
tion as we would turn An hour glass,
and requires little attention, much less
volition and separate discharges of
force from the brain surface with each
muscular contraction, as IS the case
with the great majority of arm move
ments.
The arm-user Is a higher animal than
the leg-uSer. Arm motions are more
nearly associated with mental action
than leg movements. A mans lower
limbs merely carry his higher centres
10 his food or work. The latter must
be executed with his arms and hands.
A third way In which arm-exercise
benefits the organism is through the
nervous system. Whether this Is due
10 an increased supply OF richer, purer
blood, or whether the continual dis
charge of motor impulses in some way
stores up another variety of force, we
do not know. One thing is certain,
the victim OF neurasthenia is very sell
dom ali Individual who daily uses bis
arms for muscular work; with this the
limit of hurtful mental work Is seldom
reached.

a New Treatment for Dyspepsia.

j. n. Semple, in the Herald Of
Health, recommends self-masSage as d
remedy for dyspepsia. His method is
as follows: First thing in the morning
and last thing at night rub the abdo-
men down the left side and up the
right in round circles. also rub down
the breast; now pace across the loom
once or twice. and snap the lower
limbs like whip lash, for exercise.
Now twist the lower limbs, first on one
side, then on the other, and rock upon
the toes. Now for the lungs and alb
domen; first take In half breath, then
exhale all the air possible, then fll the
lungs TO their full capacity, walk
across the room and back, at the same
time throwing the arms back. Now in
a half breath send out every particle of
air till you see the abdomen working
like bellows, and you will soon be-
come deep breather. For more ex-
tended practice in deep breathing the
morning before rising is a good time,
provided there is full ventilation and
the air inside is as pure and fresh as
that on the outside. In the winter
time before good fire wash the hands
and wet the back of the neck, arms
and lower limbs slightly, and rub
down with coarse towel. THIS is
sufficient for beginner, but the
chronic dyspepsia needs more extensive
exercise.

New Style OF Evening Parties.

a young man in Boston who Is going
abroad soon wished to entertain some
friends before his departure. lie knew
they were surfelted with the ordinary
style of evening parties. lie wanted
something original. He invited ten
young ladies and nine young gentle
men. AS each guest entered the re-
ceptlon room he or she received a hand
somely engraved card which bore the
mysterious word "Causerie.' y hint
as to the meaning Of what would fol-
low was gwen by the quotation from
paradise Lost:' wv it'll the CONVEX
sing, | forget all tIme." After his
guests had puzzled their brains trying
TO decipher the meaning, the host vol
unteered an explanation. Ten sub
jects were presented for discussion, and
he had chosen ten couples to do the
work. Instead of spending the even
Ing in dancing, each gentleman was eK-
pected to fill out his card with the
names of the young ladies with whom
Ee desired to talk. In that respect it
d ffered slightly from the selection of
partners for the dance. There could
be no wall flowers. The conversation
must be general.
Five minutes were devoted to each
topic, and at a signal from the host
there was general swapping of part
nars and complete change in the style
OF Conversation. For instance, the
company opened the ball by telling
what they knew about ''BO.tOn Busy
Is :, Baked Beans, Blown Bread, Base
Ball, Big Brains. Blooming Beauties,
BIthsome Bachelors" When the
young ladies had practically flOored the
gentlemen in regard to the relative
merits of baked beans and brown
bread as the best method of producing
big heads on bail tossers, they turned
their attention to the topic: The Lady
or the Whichp" There was a
strong division on that as we'll as on
the next topic, ''ShOuld Mrs. Cleveland
be rs-electedp' The others were:
CONSCIOUSNESS" THE real affinity
between a red headed girl and a white
horse,'' Boston Fads," 'Given a
squirrel on tree and a man at the
foot. The man moves around the tree,
the squirrel does the same thing, keep
ing always on the opposite side. Can
the man go around the squlrrel?"
"Will the opposition to the Andover
theology warrant the heather in adopt
ing protective tariff, excluding our
missionariesg' "Does an incubated
hen have any material instinctp" and
the ladies were familiar with the last
topic for the evening, leap Year"

Facts About the jersey FTsh-Hawk.

Watching the lish-hawks is a con-
slant source of delight to the people at
the New Jersey coast resorts. From
Sandy Hook to Barnegat these birds
are as familiar as robins are to inland
folks. They are of the eagle family,
and, though Slightly smaller than the
national bald head, are very much like
him. Though birds of prey, they are
far more tame than crows in some re-
spects, notably in the fact that they
build their nests in the most conspicu-
Gus trees, often those which stand
alone in pasture lands. Whatever tree
they build in is certain to die The
phosphorus or some other property in
the bits and bones of fish they drop
kills the roots of whatever tree they
inhabit. The birds are fond of the
Shrewsbury, at Red Bank, and there is
seldom a moment during daylight when
they are not to be seen towering over
the river. They are able to see fish
In the water from a considerable
height, and, seeing 1t, they close their
wings and drop Ike a bullet. They
strike the water with a great splash
and disappear under 1t. but only TO rise
in second or two grasp!ng a fish In
their talons. Just now travellers along
the roads of Monmouth county can see
the heads of the osprey's babies over
the tops of the big nests in the dead
trees. The Jerseymen are superstitious
about killing them; indeed, no one ever
hurts fish-hawk.

Let Tobacco Alone.

There are other disagreeable features
about smoking that render it an IN
pleasant habit. The smell on the
breath is disagreeable to many persons,
and the habit, when formed, is enslav-
ing. A person who is accustomed to
using tobacco is unhappy when de-
prived of 1t. and cannot enjoy many
things on the account of the uncon-
trollable desire to crafty his perverted
taste. In this respect the habit is
nearly as bad as that of using strong
drink. Then, last of all, it Is a useless
expense. Think of the money that
could be saved and applied to the pur-
chase Of books, pictures, or even a
bicycle or microscope, or some valuable
instrument or means of amusement
that would improve mind as well as
body.
Why, five cents a day would be over
eighteen dollars a year, which would
buy eighteen one-dollar books, quite a
library in itself. So, everything con-
sidered, boy who avoids the use of
tobacco will save in many ways-in
health, in morals, in standing, among
well-thinking people and in pocket. So,
boys, make a resolution at once never
to begin the use of tobacco.

THE RECKLESS SOLDIER.
The Reason Why He Took Another.
Post Of Danger.

"A soldier sometimes acquires a reck-
lessness in risking his life which may
show itself In other places than on ths
battlefield. and which illustrates one
evil effect of war in dulling the sensl.
bilities to ordinary caution and pru-
dence. In one of the wars on the
continent of Europe, in the last century
in which England and Spain We're
allied, George Hazlewood, an English
soldier, was taken prisoner by the
Dutch, In company with twenty-three
Spaniards.
Prince Maurice, who was in com
mand of the Dutch, ordered that eight
of the prisoners should be put to death.
In retaliation for like sentence passed
upon eight Dutch soldiers not long
before. 1t was ordered that it should
be decided by lot upon which OF the
prisoners the death penalty should fall.
When the Englishman's turn came
he drew a lot which told him that his
life was spared. He said nothing, but
stood by to see the rest of the ordeal.
Presently, two or three fatal lots
having been drawn, a Spanlard stepped
out to put his hand into the helmet
who showed great relutance to do so.
He drew back once or twice and
seemed to be under a great mental
strain.
"Are you afraid?" asked an officer.
No." said the Spanlard? ''but l
fear it is wrong to make my own hand
the instrument of my own death. l
can die willingly, but L fear the guilt
of such a suicide"
George Hazlewood, the Engllshman,
here stepped forward.
Have YOU any money!" he asked
the SpanIard.
"Y Yes," said the latter; ST have
twelve crowns"
VERY good" said Hazlewood, ''If
you will give it to me, 1 will stand the
chance in your place"
HE is fool or a madman,n said
the officer in command; ''he does not
deserve the life he has so providentially
obtained. Let hIm take the chance in
the others place."
Hazlewocd put his hand into the
helmet, and again drew himself safe.

officer asked him. "what made you risk
your life agaln?"

every day for sixpence, and here was a

-Pourri.

The blue jars in the window,
The big bowls in the hall,
Hold that sweet old time perfume
That We Pot-pourri call
We cannot tell who made IL,
Nor where the flowers did grow,
For those who picked them left Us
Full hfty years agoi
Yet, when at scented evening
i stand beside the bowl.
And watch my roses fading
As night mists upward roll.
i seem TO see their spirits
Stand silent there below,
Who made Pot-pOurri for US
Full fifty years agOi
i watch them. youths and maidens
About the garden glide;
i see them Gull the flowers
There growing side by side;
hear their soft love whispers,
almost seem TO know
The faces dead and buried
Some fifty years agol
I smile TO think how fieetiny
Are all our Joys, our pain;
How swiftly sunshine passes,
How quickly dries the ram
For they, too, loved and suffered,
And bore their own death-blow,
Those pretty lade and lasses
Dead fifty years ago!
Yet their dead roses whisper
OF sweetness cen in death;
This lovely perfunIed odor
Has outlived Loves hot breath;
And sweet can ba our evening,
And, II we wish IL so.
Can last cen like Pot-pourri
Made fifty years agoi

A Canal Across Italy.

An Italian engineer. Signor Victor
Brocca, has just completed the survey
OF the proposed canal across Italy, the
object of which is to save the very long
journey around Cape Leuca. This
canal would begin on the western side,
near Castro, on the Tyrrhenian Sea,
and reach the eastern shore of Fano, on
the Adriatic. Its length would be
about 1S0 miles, and its proposed
breadth ITO yards, and its depth 40
feet. For the purposes of the canal it
would be necessary to drain the two
lakes Bolsena and Thrasimene. The
assumed cost of this gigantic under
taking Is set down at e20, 0,OOO. 900.

Lack of Facial Symmetry.

The two sides Of the face are not
alike. As rule, says German pro-
fessor, the want OF symmetry is con-
fined to the upper part of the face.
The left half OF the brain overweighs
the right half; the nose leans little to
the right or to the left. The region OF
the right eye is usually slightly higher
than that of the left eye, while the
left eye is nearer the middle line Of the
countenance. The right ear is also
higher, as rule, than the left ear.
