An abuse that tends to the injury of
brain workers is excessive eating. A
writer in the Medical Mirror recalls to
mind several active brain workers who
suddenly broke down, and fancied that
it was due to brain fatigue, when, as a
matter of fact, it was due to overstufflng
of their stomachs. The furnace con-
nected with mental machinery became
clogged up with ashes and carbon in
various shapes aud forms, and as a result
disease came, and before the cases were
fully appreciated, demoralized condi-
tion of the nervous systems was mani
tested, ald they laid the fattering
JUNCTION TO their souls that they had in-
dulged in mental overwork. Hard
work, mental or physical, rarely ever
kills. If mild amount of physical ex-
ercise be taken, and judicious amount
of food be furnished, the bowels kept
open in proper manner, the surface pro-
tected with proper clothing, and the in-
dividual cultivates philosophical nature
and absolutely resolves to permit moth
ing to annoy or fret him, the chances
are that he can do an almost unlimited
amount of work for an indefinite length
of time, bearing in mind always that
when WEAKNESS comes he must rest and
not take stimulants and work upon
false capital. The tired, worn-out slave
should not be scourged to additional
labor. Under such stimulus the slave
may do the task, but he soon becomes
crippled and unfit for work. The secret
of successful work lies in the direction
of selecting good, nutritious, digestible
food, taken in proper quantities, tho
adopting of regular methods of work,
the rule of resting when pronounced
fatigue presents itself, determining
absolutely not to permit friction, worry
or fretting to enter into his life, and the
cultivation Of the three graces, charity,
patience, and philosophy. Scientific

body else. Their neighbor's imperfections
are like gnats, and they strain them out;
their own imperfections are like camels, and
they swallow them.
But lest any might think they escape the
scrutiny Of the text, have to tell you we
all come under the divine satire when we
make the questions Of time more prominent
than the questions OF eternity. Come now,
let us all go into the confessional. Are not
all tempted 10 make the question. Where

How shall | get more dollars here, greater

no treasures in heavens the question, How

though giant were greater than camel,
as though a minute were longer than q

We have. in days past, had some very fine
window displays in Boston, but one which
eclipses anything ever before seen here is
now on exhibition at a Winter street store.
1t is au Easter handkerchief display in
which handkcrchicfs and Easter eggs great
and small are ingeniously and artisticaliy
combined. The top and sides OF the window
space are covered with plain blue and plain
yellow China silk, deeply shirred and richly
studded, the former with gold and the latter
with silver eggs. In the centre OF the ceiling
shows the end OF mammoth egg out of
which depends an egg-shaped frame, nine
feet in length, whose eight wide ribs, COW
cred with handkerchiefs, alternate with as
many equal open spaces. Through these, in
the interior, brilliantly Lighted Iy
incandescrnt burners, is seen a large
egg OF gold from the bottom
Of which eight silver chains extend
downward in graceful curves until lost in
the wealth Of silk covering the floor. Below
the great egg above described, eight immense
leaves radiatc from common centre up
ward, outward and downward until the tip
of each finds support upon large silver egg
upon the floor. Scattered about are twelve
great Gala lilies, their spathcs covered with
handkcrbhiefs, and their stems and leaves,
as well as the red, yellow and green butter
flies seen among them, made in most exact
imitation of nature. Upon nest, In shape

Legislature to compel it to keep y record Of

has already been made the
subject OF committee hearing, and ii

now kept by the company is not sufficient,
as it is not pubic property and there is no

Facts show that il is possible to pre-
vent disease. As science has moved
we have obtained bette" knowledge
Of the laws of life and health. Great
improvements have been made in the
mode of living. Houses are better
constructed, ventilation and drainage
arc more complete. Food is moro
varied and nutritious, clothing is more
adapted to the climate, and the moral
and physical aspects of the community,
AIKEN as whole, are improved.
Hence tlS death rate has been reduced,
and the mass of men and women may
console themselves with tho fact that
they are likely to attain the allotted
four score years Of life. With regard
% diseases, the death rate of small pox
.ince the passage of the first vaccina-
ion act in 1910, has diminished from
j7.2 to 6. 3 per 100000 for lSS0-84.
The diminution in the death rate from
.yrhus fever is quite as striking.
Diphthcria and scarlet fever are more
obedient to the skiful physician than
ever before, while in cholera. the
deaths have dimished since its last
appearance as an epidemic, and it
never has appeared in the same pro-
portions since. International phiIan-
thropy and experience have had much
to do with the change, aud the:c is
reason TO believe that the future may
be prolific of even more improvemc Mt
than the past.
