BRAIN EXHAUSTION.
Often Caused by Pushing Mental Growth
Beyond Natural Ability


Or. Daniel Clark, discussing brain work,
says In a paper printed in the Journal of
Insanity: Education and instruction are
different. The former'meanS development
of body and mind, while the latter means
simply mere knowledge of facts. A child
may be full of facts and its education not
begun. The neglect to consider this i'm
portant physical law is leading to the
generation of many of the nervous evils
which now atfiict the civilized races, at
no time in the history of the world has
education been more diffuse6 among the
common people, and at no period have
nervousness, excitability, brain exhaustion
and insanity been so prevalent. 1t is
well to consider if there exists any con-
nection, and if so, how much, between
national nervousness and forced education
between juvenile brain tension and adult
brain debility. 1t may be we are dis
counting the future by forcing mental
growth in the young beyond the natural
capacity. These are two entities whose
relations seems to be largely forgotten in
education. The architect of fate needs
proper tools to do his work with Educa-
ton means the preparing and sorting Of
these tools for the builder. This mind
organ is delicate, simple and easily i'm
pressed. 1t can be operated upon, or it
can be used as an instrument to evolve all
mind action. In other words, it may re-
celve impression or it may Inherently
manifest mental power. 1t may merely
be filled with easily acquired knowledge,
which may be the work of others, or it
may give out its own energizing creations.
In the former class or impressions it is
only receptive, which is merely an appeal
to memory; in the latter it is exercised in
mental dynamics and brings into being
new ideas and native conceptions. To
imbibe as sponge gives no energy and no
strength, but to grow as tree gives power
by virtue of the exercise of its increasing
activity. Not only SO, but this energiz-
ing entity increases the volume and sta
bility of the organ, as physical exercise
increases muscular tone and fiber.

"Half of the battle of life" says a
writer, consists in keeping up a cheerful
spirit" How true! They who complain
of ills and disappointments and assert that
life is not worth living" are lacking
seriously in cheerfulness. They have not
learned one of the most important lessons
that life has character for good or ill,
according to our habit of viewing it.
Some years ago we attended a religious
service on Sunday in a church near our
residence but to which we rarely went.
But the discourse that was delivered by
the aged minister interested us deeply.
from beginning to end 1t was not a
brilliant discourse, yet full of the thought
and earnest comment that proceed from
long experience. The subject was Thank
fulness," the speaker dwelling upon the
healthful comforting influence of that
cheerful habit of mind that sees some
thing to inspire thankfulness in every
event of life. A day or two later we
learned that the aged minister had left
the dying bed of a daughter that very
morning TO perform the duties of his min
istry, and when the service was concluded,
he hastened back to her side
What bel p can a depressed, melancholy
spirit afford? How unreasonable to ex-
pect anything at all beneficial from tone
of mind that is responding, morbid and
gloomy? The simplest, practical wisdom
warns against the indulgence of such a
temper. Admitted that circumstances are
unfavorable even to the degree of despera-
ton, does it pay to cultivate misery by
brooding upon them, and hugging. as it
were, closely to our heart the horrid
corpse of our misfortune? No, the wise
course is to turn away from the ills and
SORROWS, and with an upward, cheerful
face energetically address ourselves to the
duties of our station. That dyspeptic,
irascrible old Scotsman, Carlyle, could APP
preciate the value of this princely virtue
for he says in his inimitable manner:
"Wondrous is the strength of cheerful
ness altogether past calculation of its
power of endurance. Efforts to be perma-
nently useful, must be uniformly joyous
a spirit all sunshine-graceful from very
gladness, beautiful because bright"
Probably he had before his minds eye
when he wrote this, his much tried, yet
always calm, and good natured wife.
If the heart is kept cheerful and bright,
no experience of evil fortune can daunt its
courage and its hope, and in time the
clouds that seem to threaten overthrow
and ruin break before it and disclose the
sun of success and joy shining in the peace
full heaven.-Phrenological Journal.

FARM NOTES.

Superphosphate of lime is the best
special fertilizer for potatoes.
To get the best results handling and
training should begin when the colt is very
young.
Fowls that fatten easily should have
plenty of exercise unless being fed for
market.
When buying pigs or poultry always
quarantine them for a few days before
permitting them to be with those on the
farm.
No matter what ails the fowl sick
bird should at once be removed to separate
quarters from the we'll ones. 1t is pre-
caution that always pays.
Never cut the entire top of tree when
transplanting. Shorten some of the top
branches SO as to make good formed top
is a better plan.
YearliDgs, calves and colts should be
sheltered at night. A months growth
is easily used up by exposure to one
cold storm. Make an effort to keep them
in the best Of condition. Also keep An eye
on the lookout for vermin.

who has since died, and he told me
to geta bottle Of BoSchee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and l caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottles of German Syrup. I

Feeding Horses

A great many farm horses are injured,
and some of them are utterly spoiled, by
improper feeding. In many cases the
material used is not specially adapted to
the needs of the animals, while in others
it is actually injurious. Many cases of
the ''heaves" are caused by feeding musty
hay and even more serious ailments may
be traced to the use of damaged grain.
There are also many cases of disease re-
lating from the;improper use of good mater
ials. While a few farmers feed too
little hay, there are many who give their
horses altogether tso large a quantity
They Fill the managers, or racks, and when
the animals have disposed of this they
receive a new supply. In this
way when the horses are in the barn most
of the time, they are, as far as quantity is
concerned, greatly over-fed. When those
herses are required for work, and really
need food more than when co nparatlvely
idle, they receive a much smaller quanti-
ty the safe way to do In this matter is to
feed the horse regularly, giving him an
abundant quantity, not overlooking him.
When work is required, grain should be
added to the hay In proportion to the
work required. Even when the horse is
idle, small quantities of grain fed with
his hay will be better tor him, and will be
more profitable for the owner, than the
use of hay alone But, even if the grain
is omitted, regular feeding with proper
limitations as to quantity of hay supplied
will be great deal better than the con-
slant stuffing to which so many farm
horses are subjected.

CHAPTER II.

IN THE SURF-BRIAN AND DONOVAN-PRE
PARATGONS FOR LANpING-FROM THE TOP
OF THE FOREMAsT-BkiAN's BRAVE AT
TEMPT.
A hasty examination of the cabin and
hold satisfied Brian and Gordon that the
vessel was not leaking. so they did their
best to reassure their comrades, particu.
larry the younger ones.
Don't be alarmedr' Brian repeated
again and again. 1.-The yacht is all right
and the shore is not far off Wait little
while and we will make an attempt to
reach it"
But why waltz" asked Donovan.
eyes, why?" added another lad about
twelve years old, named Wilcox: "Dono-
van is right. Why should we wait'''
Because the surf is too heavy, and we
should be dashed upon the rocks" replied
Brian.
But what if the yacht should go to
p1ecesW exclaimed another lad named
Webb, who was about the age of Wilcox.
Il think we have no reason to fear that,
at least so long as the tide is going out.
Afterward we will see what can be done !"
Brian was right. Though the tides are
comparatively slight in the Pacific Ocean,
there is nevertheless quite difference be-
tween high and low water mark, so it
would be advisable to wait few hours,
especially if the wind showed any signs of
abating. 1t was even possible that low
tide would leave part of the reef almost
dry, in which case, it would be less dan
gerous to leave the schooner and to wade
the quarter of mile that lay between it
and the beach.
Nevertheless, in spite of the wisdom of
this advice, Donovan and two or three
others We're decidedly averse to following
if. 1t had been more than once apparent
prior to this that Donovan, Wilcox, Webb,
and a fourth lad named Cross, were not
inclined to be guided by Brian in any
matter; and though they had consented to
obey him up to the present time, it was
due to the fact that Brian had some
knowledge of navigation. They had al
ways intended to assert their entire free
dom of action, however, as soon as they
reached land-especially Donovan, who
considered himself infinitely superior to
Brian, as well as to all his other comrades,
in education and intelligence. 1t must be
admitted, moreover, that Donovan's jeal-
ousy of Brian was an affair of long stand
ing, for the latter, being of French de-
scent, English lads were naturally averse
to submitting to his authority; and there
was every reason to fear that this preju-
dice would enhance the dangers of a stu
alton which was already sufficiently
alarming.
