Mental and Body overwork.

The London Lancet says that mental
and bodily overwork is the most general
and the least regarded form of illness in
this age. Its treatment requires that due
attention be paid to the two great essen
tials of timely rest and wholesome diet.
A man, says The Lancet, may work on
a liberal scale, provided he viii interrupt
its continuity by timely and adequate in
tervals of rest, and viii eat heartily OF
plain food. So long as appetite and sleep
are unimpaired, there is little danger OF
overwork, but the failure of either is ma
lures warning signal that the strain must
be relieved. Youths Companion.

A SERENADE.

Come out to the side of the sea, my Iowa
Come out to the side of the sea;
The sun is set. and the stars are met.
And the winds and the waves agree:
BIT the star so bright nor wave so light
Brings pleasure or peace to me-
q come for sit and wait. alone,
On the rocks by the side of the seal
| am going down in my memory
To the blessed long ago,
When the Golden ground of the buttercups
Was dashed with the daisies snow
And I'm thinking of all you said to me.
And if it were true or no,
While watch the tide as it runs away
From the beach so black and low.
If should die, my love, my sweet,
Die of your smile forlorn,
Bury me here by the side of the sea,
Where all my joy was born.
Where the waves shall make my lullaby,
And the winds from night to morn
Shall say to the rocks. He has gone to sleep
Where all his joy was born"

Manufacturing Unbreakable Glass.

An unbreakable substitute for glass is
made by Mons. L. G. A. Marguerite, of
Paris, by immersing wire gauze In a
heated state in a thin paste formed Of
soluble glass, gelatine and glycerine, OF
glucose, in proportions varying accord
ing to the use for which the material
was designed. When nearly dry the
sheets are dipped in concentrated solu-

may be applied to the s'vih'eo-metallic'

Mental idleness is sure to lead to men,

whatever influence may chance to fall

easy habit to fall into, and one which
each person needs to guard against-that
of istlessly reading, or listening, or
dreaming instead of actively thinking and

Girls at yassar College.

Freshmen at Vassar have easier times
than at colleges for boys, and they ought
to, for they are girls and etiquette rules.
Every girl in the college early in the
school year goes forth on certain after
moons, card case in hand, to call upon
the freshmen or other newcomers in her
corridor. If the freshman be out card
is left; if in. the acquaintance is formed.
In either case the card must be returned
within a week. After this visits are

wooden goods is more promising. At the

are to be obtained in the near future.
