Brain Workers and Rcst.

Some brain workers toll on year after
year, contenting themselves with the re-
Taxation of day or two now and then.
They have no real vacations, and tho
brief intervals that they are away from
their duties do them but little good, not
being long enough for them to forget
their work and vexations and get out Of
the groove they have been running in.
There comes at last to these men time
when memory weakens, when it is hard
for them to fix the mind upon one SUBJ
ject, and their work seems to grow more
and more irksome, and in conversation
there is slight tendency to incoherence.
It is rather difficult for them at times to
express themselves clearly; the suitable
words do not come to them as readily as
they once did.
When conversing they start in we'll,
but after short time their ideas are
somewhat confused, and they are obliged
to make considerable effort to keep their
attention fixed upon the subject they are
discussing. In writing there is hest
fancy, especially ON long words or SEN
fences. They are obliged to stop and
think, seeming to drop the thread that
they have been holding. These are signs
of mental failure, which must not be
disregarded. In this condition of brain
exhaustion, not only are the reasoning
faculties sluggish, but unusual effort is
required from the weakened will to keep
the attention fixed. Good mental work
is then accomplished only at the expense
of tho brain, which is still further weak
ened by every intense effort.
The time has now come when mental
rest is imperative, and it should bo as
complete as possible. A long vacation
should be taken: short rests are not likely
to do any good. A sea voyage promises
the greatest good to the weakening brain
worker. On shipboard he seems to drop
almost entirely out of his old life His
vacation should not be of less than a
months duration, and it ought to run
Oh for several months. Failing to take
the needed rest, insanity is very likely to
DO the penalty.-Boston Herald.

The uairpin Stood On Its Head.

A young woman dropped steel hair
piu from her head as she was about to
leave an electric car. 1t lay fiat on the
floor until she had alighted and the
driver had turned the current on. Then
the hairpin rose and stood on its head.
When the current was turned off the
hairpin lay down; when 1t was put on
again the hairpin would stand up. The
incident afforded amusement for the
passengers.-Albany Journal

The Bombay oyster" isn't an oyster
at all, Of course, but this is the name
that has been bestowed on it.
1t is a composition sufficiently simple
and common to please the lean and lard

an egg dropped unbrolen into tumbler,

with pepper and salt.
1t is consumed always before break

One of its effects is to counteract the

In the third division CAPTAIN Douglass
felt that 1t was the proudest day in his
youthful experience, as he marched his twen-
ty-four blue-coated Native Sons into position
at the head of the column. There was no
more joking and laughing then. The stento-
rian voice with which he called out "Atten-

the parlor's parade that called forth as many

1t was banner made up OF small banners
OF the various parlors, so arranged as to

filled with Native Sons and Daughters, sur

The fact is. the fourth division, clear
