With Good Habits Neither Brain No,

DR.. Pye Smith holds that there is nc
fear OF the ordinary man using his
brains too much for health and he does
not believe that mental labor or honest
work OF any kind intcrferes with hcaltl,
or shortens life a day. lie maintains
that excessive eating is the abuse that
tends to the injury of brain-worl,ers
moro than any other cause.
Many active brain-worl1ers have spd-
denly broken down, and fancied that il
was due to brain fatigue, when. as a
matter offact, twas due to ovcrstuffinp
of their stomachs. The furnace con-
nected with the mental machine be-
came clogged up with ashes and carbon
in various shapes and forms, and. as 4
result, disease came, and before the
case was fully appreciated a democrat
lied condition of the nervous system
was manifested, and the prosaic cause
for. the collapse was suppressed under
the euphemistic mental overworiz."
DR.. Smith insists that il a man will
take nutritious, digestiblc food. in iu-
dicious quantity, live aud work req
ularly, and rest when fatigued, cult
waiting at the same time philosophical
habit, and keeping himself aloof from
fret and annoyances, the chances are
that he can do an almost unlimited |
amount of work for an indefinite LENGTH
IF time. He must, however, bear ia
mind that when weariness comes he
must rest and not take stimulants and
work upon false capitcl.

Strange as it may seem, that cat

Through these notes friendship ripencd

Animals Once Predominated.


There was time ''in the wide revolv-
ing shades of centuries past when our
globe was wholly in the possession OF
walking, swimming and flying reptiles.
Being Of the dominant type they were
divided into three great classes. In the
ocean they became gigantic padding
enaliosaurians; ON dry land, or rather
wet land flor the whole face of the
earth was doubtless quagmire at that
timo), they became monstrous ichthy-
osaurians, some of which had legs fif-
teen feet or more in length; those which
inhabited the regions of the air were
the terrible flying pterodachtyls. For
a vast but unknown length of time
these awful creatures literally ruled the
earth. Finally, after they had ''secn
their day." they began to grow less and
less. One by one they died out in the
face of the younger and more vigorous
fauna, until at the present time only a
few miniature alligators and crocodiles,
few toy snakes as reminders of slsulk-
ing lizards and gecllos remain of the
enormous reptilian types that once
crowded land and sea.

fer wheels. The measurement from

manning twelve inches is divided by

for the sheep to extract the hay. The
Stats are simply strong plaster lathsi

the rest of the work. 1t is wise TO
round the sharp corners of the lath SO
as to prevent the sheep when feeding
from disfguring their ''side whiskers,"
which our charming Downs are apt to
do; indeed the correct system would be
to have smooth revolving rollers instead
of permanent fixed Stats.
Attached to the rack is a feed trough,
making it a combined hay and grain

rack is two feet wide and the width at
bottom one foot.
When such racks arc exposed to the
weather they shou always be covered
and have folding doors in the roof for
the admission of fodder. In filling the
rack with fresh hay or in emptying it
of refuse it would be well if possible to
back the sheep or remove them into an
other com partment till the work is
completed; otherwise q careless attend
ant will invariably allow chaff and dirt
to settle on the fleece. Ihave tried racks
with three and three and one-half inch
spaces for the sheep to feed from, but
have found none so satisfactory as
where the distance is but two and one
half inches between the Stats. When

Owing to the convenient height OF the
rack the shepherd should turn over the
unconsumed hay at least once day.
This induces the sheep to eat and adds
freshness to the fodder blown on.
When it is picked over remove the stale
feed and replace it by fresh, taking the
utmost care that the sleeps backs do
not get soiled
Rather than be subjected to the re-
prOach of being a careless wOOl-grOwer
it would be well for the owner at shear
ing time to spread every fleece on a
table, turning the shorn side down
ward; then remove by hand all ex-
traneous substances, such as burrs,
hay, dung, etc. never forgetting to
throw aside all kenny and matted
parts. This done each side of the fleece
ought to be folded over toward the mid
die. The neck is then folded toward
the breech and the brcech toward the
neck. Now handle the fleece carefully;
place it compactly in the fleece press,
tie and lay it aside in thorough good
fashion, and let every bale or wool
sack receive a temporary mark to indi-
cate the description Of wool it contains.

STATE TICKET.
First Day.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 4.-The first
days session Of the Republican state
convention was very brief, nothing
more than q temporary organizat ton
being effected.
When the convention had come to
order, at 2 o'clock, Congressman A. J.
Hopkins was unanimously elected tenn
porary chairman. Mr. Hopkins made a
speech OF considerable length, which
was devoted mainly to an eulogy of the
republican party and its tariff policy
and a deltunciation of free trade
and tariff reform, which, he
said, was advocated by theorists
alone. He quoted formidable
array Of figures to prove the
benefits Of the protective system and
referred to what he termed the perfdious
treatment Of the farmers by the demo-
Gratis in their attempt to remove the tariff
on wool lie drew comparisons between
the condition Of wage-earners in Amer
lea and those in England, claiming that
the better condition of the farmer was
due to the beneficient effects Of the
tariff. In conclusion the speaker said
that whoever might be named Mime
apolis would be the next president as
sure as fate, and that Illinois would be
found in the front rank with 30, 600 re-
publican majority. The usual commit
tees were then appointed and the con
vcntion adjourned until tomorrow,
when the real work Of the body will
