Yhs Tue Method OF Resting.

How to Rest" Ia the title Of sensi-
Bile and suggestive article in the Angus st
number of the North American Review,
lust upon our table, which will be of
special interest at this junctnre when so
many people are taking vacations. out
ings, resting spells and recreations OF
one sort and another. 1t is from the
pen Of Dr. William A. Hammond, n
widely known and generally accepted
authority on subjects pertaining to
health conservation. There are, he re-
marks, various kinds of rest.
A person whose occupation Is chiefly
carried on by the use OF his brain rests
that organ when he changes his work TO
physical labor. Thus, a student who
spends eight hours day in in
tense mental application derives
immense benefit, not only to his
brain. but to his whole system.
| by brisk walk OF two or three
hours or a like period employed in chop
ping wood In such a case as this there
Ia no complete rest for the body; it is
simply a change of labor from one kind
| to another kind. II amounts to nothing
| more than proper exercise for the
mental and physical systems, and ii ac-
compauied with seven or eight hours
sleep and five or six hours for eating and
amusement, might be carried on indeti
| nitely in any ordinary healthy locality
| The body does not require absolute rest,
and,as matter Of fact. 1t never gets it
for even In sleep there is not inconsidera-
bic functional activity of various organs
goiug on. Such a student as l have
referred to would receive great advan
tage from going to the woods
or the mountains, or the seashore fol
the summer, not to lie down in ham
mock or to loll on the sand. but
to take his books with him, preferably
devoted to subjects different from those
that he has studied in the city, and &c
|exercise his muscles by rowing boat OIL
hunting for natural history specimen;
on land or sea, instead of working In s
Gymnasium or walking up and dowr
Broadway aud Fifth Avenue. Such /
person not only alters the character Of
his mental and physical labor, but HI
does it with such advantages as are tt
be derived from change Of sir and scene
aud they are by no means inconsiderable
Now, this is not rest on the contrary, i
is work, and very hard work, too; bu
no one can doubt that that SUDDEN
would return to his regular pursuits
with mind and body invigorated AM
capable of doing better things than whei
he left the city. In short. a man o
woman is to be managed in respect Il
rest in very much the same way that

knows the advantage Of Il succession o
crops. He knows that il he plants cab
bages every successive year in the sam,

Uools Sans First Mint.

The subject of q new mint, so long and
earnestly discussed, Is once more being
agitated at Washington. Should the pro-
posed legislation be effected, and the pres
eat mint building be abandoned, the change
cannot be made before the centennial ami
versary OF the founding Of the mint will
have passed, and it is worthy Of note that
in An entire century only one such removal
has taken place.

Min. WAS passed April 2. 1892, and steps
were at once taken u erect . suitable struc-

spot as possible. A cite was secured upon
the east eide of Seventh street, above Sugar
alley, afterward called Farmer, and now
known as Filbert street.
Here plain brick building was erected
In the summer Of 1899. The coming
presses arrived from England in Septem-
Der. and operations began in the early part
of o ctober, the m sterial for starting coin
irg. SIX pounds Of old copper, having been
purchased a few days before. The ma
cninery Of the mint was moved by horse
power. The first regular return Of coins
to the treasury was made March 1, 1898,
and consisted Of HIS cents. The re-
nowned scientist, David Rittenhouse. was
appointed director Of the mint April IA,
l1792, within . fortnight after the passage

inenrly qualified for the position, and was
