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
cIoggel up with ashes and carbon in
various shapes aud forms, aud as result
disease came, aud before the cases were
fully appreciated, a demoralized condi-
ton of the nervous systems was mani
tested, aad they laid the flattering
JUNCTION TO their souls that they hal in
dulged in mental overworS. Hard
work, mental or physical, rarely ever
kills. If a 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, aud the iu-
dvidual 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 anc
not take stimulants aud work upon
false capital. The tired, WORKOUT slave
should not be scourged to additional
labor. Under such stimulus the slave
NAV 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, digestiblc
food, taken in proper quantities, the
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 euter into his life, aud the
cultivation of the three graces, charity,
patience, and philosophy. Scientific

Tbs Gorilla is Terrible, but CowarI.

The gorilla grows to be fully six feet
high aud nearly or quite thirty inches
across the shoulders. He eau scarcely
be said to have neck at all; his arms
are extremely long aud powerful an l his
legs quite short. He climbs trees with
as much agility as a squirrel, but In
different way, and can swing from limb
to limb of the tree, for miles, Which
seems to be his chief mode of locomo-
ton. His body is very long conParet
to his hight, and very full and round.
He is naturally afraid of man, and will
always escape, if possible; but it com-
pelled.to fight must be Il terrible foe.
His brutal couuteuauce is revolving in
the extreme. Mr.. Du Chaillu assures me
that he has heard the voice of this beast
a distance of four miles. They live up
on plant food, and are especially fond
of bananas. They inhabit the deep
Jungle of the low coast region, where
few other mammal forms exist. They
are confined to small scope of Africa
on the west coast, near the equator, anu
so far as known only occupy an area OF
few hundred square miles in extent.
Their social instincts are very low, and
the males especially live solitary life
great portion OF their time. They do
not remain permanently in one locality,
but seem to ramblc from place to place
in search of food. SBut little is actually
known OF his natural habits on account
of his continual rowing, his retiring aud
savage nature. New York Independent.

An Arm,.ei Train.

The Midland railroad OF India has hid
an armored train built which can be us't
either rs a means OF defense or attack, or
for the repair of the railroad tracks aud
the telegraphs. The experiments with
the train have yielded results so sitis-
factory that similar trains may be con-
structed for the sole purpose of the de-
feusc OF the country. Evidently mill
tary armaments will never be finished,
new means and weapons of war being
invented contluually.-Chicago Times.

Buckinq Bronchos and Lasso Throwing.

ranges and throwing the lasso is not
lost art, and according to the numerous
cattle men now here, will not be for
many years hence. Indeed, they say
that the starting of the great packing
house here will tend to increase the cat
tie on the ranges, and that much more of
this work will be required than in times
past.
The city is full of skilled riders and
rope throwers, but among them there is
none more conspicuous than N. II. A.
Mason, the white haired vekran for
whom Mason Valley is named, and whose
thousands Of head of cattle now roam
in that valley. He located there in 1850,
and though he has since then at times
been identified with other kinds Of busi.
ness, he has always kept his cattle, aud
has been an active rider aud rope thrower
among the vaqueros.
"It is a subtle thing, the art of throw
ing q rope" said the veteran ofthe rodeo
yesterday, in the presence of Governor
Colcord aud group of other interested
listeners. at Is also an accomplishment
to ride bucking horse. Some can do
one thing and some the other, but it is
not always that the two can be COM
bined.
81 was always a good rider, and never
cared how wild the horse was nor how
much he bucked, but when it came to
throwing the lasso about forty-fve feet
was my limit. Others could throw it
seventy-fve feet-not with any more pre-.
cision-but they were more powerful,
had more strength in their arms and
shoulders, and could throw it further.
"Rope throwing is a good deal like
fishing, ball or boomerang throwing,
playing the piano or shooting quickly
with pistol. You feel it in your arms,
in the touch, what you re going to do.
1t Is not reasoned out. 1t is simply done
with the touch without reasoning. You
have heard of the expression; knew il
in your bones. This is a case where you
know it in your hands.
"It has sometimes been doubted
whether one horseman riding at a break
neck pace behind another could, If he
chose, throw a rope and drag him out OF
the saddle. 1t is no trouble. 1t is one
Of the easy things. Likewise it is easy
to sweep down on the prairie, whilO
riding at full speed, and pick up a whip
or other small object, or do the number
less other things that a skilled vaquero
can do. 1t lies largely in practice, but
not all men make good rope throwerS or
riders, no more than all persons can DO
good piano players. Either accomplish
ment is largely inherent aud indednable.
Gas to the horses for the rodeo OF
range, give me, after all, the native
Spanish breed of this Coast. The hall
breed American, or other cross, lessons
the value. They are clumsy and not so
well adapted by half. 1t is bred in the
bone and fiber of the native horses to be
good for the range, the same as it is fol-
Stanford's horses to have speed. 1t is IN
the strain. 1t may not be discovered by
looking at the horse, but it is there. He
is natural rouuder and cattle horse, and
the rider and rope are part OF him.

IIIC JACET.

Upon q stone with lichens gray,
Mid moSsy marbles Of the dead.
A wild rose weeps itself away
In crimson tears and kisses red.
The beech upon it rains in gold;
A brier wantons over il,
And some old sculptor-han1 hath scrolrI
Its brief Hic Jacet, quantity writ.
But il or beauty, age or yout-
Be pillowed in the green below;
Or heart of hope, or tongue of truth,
Or babe or bride, we may not know.
Or if in life's allotted span.
Who slum5ers here knew auzht of love.
That. hopelsss, wastes the heart OF man;
Or felt the gnawiny pain thereof.
What cruel caprice Of circunStau
Oertoox him. or what fate be.ell;
What lifting wave of lucky chluce,
Two words alone remain TO tel.
For run as will our rouni of years
In shine or shadow. peace or strife;
Let auyhter be our LOT, or tears,
Hic Jacet is the sum of life.

Old newspapers are said to make valu-
able anti-mOth wrappers for furs and
winter clothing, the ink upon them being
nearly as repulsive to all kinds of vermin
as camphor or coal tar-paper. They are
likewise good to lay on carpets for like
purpose. Being impermeable to air,
they also form excellent envelopes for
vessels containing ice and fresh liquors.
A ropemakiny firm in England is
manufacturing a new type of rope callet
the anti-corrcsive and self-lubricating
wire rope. The core and all the wires in
the strands are said to be coated with
composition called glissautoline, which
fills up the interstices of the rope aud
makes it impervious to corrosion. The
lubricant also makes the rope more tiex-

A new way Of annealing small pieces Oh
steel is given by a writer in the English
Mechanic. Heat the pieces rs slowly as
possible, aud when at low red heat
put them between two pieces of dry
boards aud screw them up tight in Il
wise. The steel burns its way into the
boards, aud on coming together around
it they form a practically air-tight char
coal bed. When 1t cools off the steel is
apt to be found thoroughly annealel.
Captain l. X. Morse, of Rockport, Me-,

A German physician, DR.. King, claims

His method consists in transforming the

forty per cent. of meal of wheat, oats or
rye. Phosphates and all the bone ele-

MAYOR POTTER SPEAKS PLAINLY
He is in Favor Of the Plan Of tIec-

Mayor Potter said when asked what his
opinion was in regard to the trolley sys-
tenn as a means Of transportation.
1t is time we had some other motive
power beside horses for our street cars,
and as the trolley seems to be the best
thing possible to get there is no reason
why we should not have that.
Every city of $1,000 Inhabitants is
putting in the trolley and why should
not Providence have it?"
"Shall you sign this ordinance IL the
Board concurs. Mr.. Mayor" asked the
reporter.
"Well. You must draw your own con-
illusions from what have said," was the

two make four it is fair to suppose that
