An Active Lie.

A man who has always been &C
always doing something in
the way of business cannot with
draw entirely from active pursuits
without permanent injury. En-
forced idleness becomes irksome,
and he is unable to enjoy himself
He constantly longs for the hustle
and routine Of business, his siaa
lacks occupation, and he siuas
,,,l=ts from ila4ao4i.=it ,-,.s.,.ryrrs,ll q.
energetic man. In ether w9l.!s|
although'aware that his system
needs rest, his active mind will
not permit him to rest. He finds
he has adhered so closely to bust
ness that it is difficult 10 wean
himself from it. Instead Of derry
ing physical benefit from relaxa-
lion, it is a positive injury to him,
because of his natural indisposi-
ton to rest. He cannot throw
aside his business habits; he must
have something to do. He learns
that he should have accustomed
himself to little periods of recrea-
ton all through life, and not post
poned his holiday until he lost the
capacity to enjoy it.
Every sensible man, who has
the means and opportunity, recu-
perates himself by frequent pauses
for recreation. He loes not defer
his period of pleasure until the
closing month of a WORKOUT life.
He is too wise to expect impossi-
bilities Of nature the recupera-
ton Of an utterly exhausted body.
He has had his comfort and enjoy
ment in due season, and is CRATE
ful to Heaven that he possesses
the means to procure all the CON-
forts of life. which he wisely uses

Death and the Dentist.

According to the Chicago Her
aid several women have died in
dentists chairs within the past
six months, under the influence OF
chloroform.
1t is believed that these deaths
were caused by the folly of the
women and the negligence of the
dentists. When a woman takes
chloroform she must not be tightly
laced, and her clothes must be
loose.
If it is so dangerous to take an
anaesthetic when tooth is pulled
it would be better to let drugs
alone. Sometimes the pain is Sc
we're, but tits safer to grin and
bear it.-Atlanta Constitution.

The Border Line.

Do any of our people ever
query how the dividing line be-
tween the United States and the
Dominion Of Canada is marked,
and how travellers in these wild re-
gions northwest of Great Lakes,
can tell when they step from the
domains of Uncle Sam into those
Of Queen Victoria? For many
years the question of boundary
between the United States and the
possessions Of Great Britain was
discussed, and at last, at the con-
vention of London, held in 1913,
the forty-ninth parallel or north
latitude was decided upon. A
parallel of latitude, however, being
on an imaginary line, is a very
poor guide to traveller, so the
next thing to do was to mark that
line SO that all who passed that
way should know where it was 10
Gated.
Accordingly, the country in that
vicinity was surveyed, and monu-
ments were set up at even mile
intervals, the British placing one
between every two of ours. These
extend from the Lake of the
Woods to the Rocky mountains.
Where the line enter f6reass. tie

teen feet under water and eight

mounds, 7x14 feet, have been
built. The most of these monu-
ments, which number 4SS in all,
are of iron It was found that
the most solid wooden posts were
not proof against the rayages of
the Indians, prairie fires, and the
weather, so that nothing but iron
would do. These pillars are hol-
low iron castings, fitted over solid
cedar posts, and well bolted
through, and are sunk four feet
deep into the ground. They are
eight feet high, eight inches
square at the base, and four at the
top, and upon opposite sides, fac
ing north and south, are the in

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks an
epoch of the individual. Such remarka-
bic event is treasured in the memory and
the agency whereby the good health has
been attained is gratefully blessed. Hence
it is that so much is heard in praise of
Electric Bitters. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health to the use of the

An exchange truthfully remarks
that it is worth remembering that
no newspaper is printed especially
for one person. People who be-
come greatly displeased with
something they find in a newspa-
per should remember that the
very thing that displeases them is
exactly the thing that will most
please somebody that has just as
much interest in the paper as they
have. 1t takes all kinds of people
to make a world we are told, and
the patrons of a newspaper are
made up of the elements of the
world. A man may have a dis
like for tobacco; but he is not fool
ish enough to complain of his
groceryman because he keeps it for
sale to those who want it; and a
man who finds something in a
newspaper he does not like is not
obliged to read or be influenced
by it. Pierce City ale J DsnlgS
