Two Wnys OF Life.

The death of John Bright and the
excellent health of Mr.. Gladstone
serve to point many moral for those
wise persons who believe in asking
Providence to "bless the MEANS" while
they find for themselves the means to
be blessed. Mr.. Gladstone was dow
cred at birth with a fine constitution,
but he has neglected no measures for
preserving its vitality, while the other
great statesman was noted for his care
lessness in this respect.
Mr.. Bright, for a long term of years,
consulted no regular medical adviser,
though he sometimes referred to some
unknown person whom, it was said, he
visited, and in whom he reposed the
greatest confidence. About ten years
ago, however, he surprised Sir Andrew
Clark by appearing in his consulting
room.
"How does this happen?" asked the
physician, who knew his peculiarities
in regard to medical advice. "Oh, it's
Gladstone" said Mr.. Bright. He
never will let me rest"
Mr.. Gladstone Seems also to have
advised him in regard to the avoidance
of mental work and worry. At one
time he urged him never TO think of
political subjects before going to sleep
at night, or on awakening In the morn
ing.
II never do that" Mr.. Gladstone
continued. Il never allow myself to
do it. In the most exciting political
crisis / dismiss all thought of them
from my mind when go TO bed, and
will not think of them again till l get
up"
"That's all very well for you, said
Mr.. Bright, "but my way is exactly
the reverse. l think over all my
speeches when l am in bed"
Which of these two WAYS would be
sanctioned by medical authority, it is
unnecessary to state. One may say,
however, that all persons have not Mr..
Gladstone's command over the activ-
tiles of the mind. His power of will
and sound nervous system are proba-
bly, due largely to the fact that, like
Sancho Panza, he has great gift of
sleep. Seven hours of sleep are what
he requires of nature daily, and he
says, in speaking of it:
Il should like to have eight. | hate
getting up in the morning, and hate it
the same every day. But one can do
everything by habit, and when l have
had seven hours sleep, my habit is to
get up"
1t is not we'll to be all the time
thinking of ones health, playing the
invalid all ones life for the sake of liv-
ing a few years longer; but it certainly
is wise to cultivate habits which tend
to promote physical yigor.- Youths

The Duration OF Nerve Life.

1t has been estimated that We get O
complete new outfit of brains about
every two months. The duration of q
nerves life is about sixty days. Each
nerve cell has its own independent
functions subordinate to the higher
functions of the whole brain en- ntdsse,
and the latter acts as sort of boss OIL
overseer to the individual actions and
life of each separate cell Every cell
Is destroyed aud renewed every two
months, so we each get six byand-new

THE intelligence of shepherd dogs

THE intelligence of shepherd dogs is
one of the well-known facts of canine
history, and many stories are told of
the manner in which they distinguish
sheep by the different marks. A shep-
herd dog without sheep feels that his
occupation is gone, especially if he has
been trained to herd flock. Not long
ago people of a small village were in
great distress. Not child could be
found. After long search there was
a great cutlery. All the small children
of the village were found in deserted
yard watched by shepherd dog. Not
having any sheep, he had followed his
instinct by collecting all the children
of the place into one fold.
