until being put under the p. P. P. she immedi-
ateiy began 10 improve. and is now in as good

Change Rather Than Rest.

As for the feeling that we need rest,
rest, rest, it is often a fallacious one.
1t is action which makes muscle. The
spirit of life enters into us when we
take vital part in to-day. Often we
suffer from rest. A change of occupa-
ton is what we most need, as a rule,
and the relief hours of an active person
turn out to be very intelligent. We
must rest, but we need not lose our
electricity, which the will, the thought,
can command at all times, and which
ought to be on guard, like an orderly,
to summon us when we should become
alert. Headaches evaporate if we must
exert ourselves for those we love, or
we almost forget the pain, which is the
same thing; and ill-temper can not
flourish unless we have idleness in
which to reflect upon the notes be-
longing to some one else. With energy
leading the way, ennui lifts from the
horizon, and we see color and distance
again. There are women who labor
day by day in hunger and despair. 1t
seems as if others might labor in COM
fort and health, instead of sitting down
to lassitude and signs, -Harper's Bazaar.
