The important subject OF physical
culture is not considered as it ought
to be by the majority OF men and wo-
men and there is almost absolute
ignorance of the makeup of the body
on the part OF even intelligent people,
with little desire for such knowledge,
although health, beauty and success
depend largely on the treatment given
to the body. Meatal requirements are
blindly worshipped, while the essential
question of health receives little
thought, and hence it is almost i'm
possible to find men in the ordinary
walks of active life, at middle age, who
do not complain of impaired health
and want of vital force.
Without a sound body one can not
have sound mind, and unless proper
attention is given to the culture of the
body good health cannot be expected
Plato is said to have called certain
man lame because he exercised the
mind while the body was allowed to
suffer. This is done to an alarming
extent nowadays. Brain workers, as
rule, exercise no part Of the body
except the head and consequently
suffer from indigestion, palpitation of
the heart, insomia and other ills
which, if neglected, generally prove
fatal. Brilliant aud successful men
are constantly obliged to give up work
through the growing malady of
nervous prostration, the number of
those who succumb to it has increased
to an alarming extent OF late years,
and that of suicides hardly less. Few
will question that this is owing to
overworking the brain and neglect of
body culture. Vitality becomes inn
paired and strength consumed by
mental demands, which are nowadays
raised to a perilous height, and it is
only by a careful attention to physical
development and by judicious bodily
exercise that the brain worker can
counteract the mental strain. Wo-
men rarely consider the Importance of
physical culture, yet they need phys
ical training almost m)re than men
do. Thousands of young women are
unfit to become wives or mothers, who
might be strong and beautiful if they
gave short time daily to physical de-
velopment.-Union Local.

Death and Dying.

The following extract from a SER
mon by Henry Ward Beecher, con.
corning death and dying, gives
different view to that which most
people look forward to with fear and
trembling:
"Death is the swelling of the seed
that has lived here, that is dried up,
and that is waiting its planting.
Death is the bursting of the bud in
April that all winter long has lain
tight-bound within itself, waiting for
its life Of reffiorescence. Death is
entering on summer from the Frigid
zone. When you look at it in the
light of this grander disclosure, this
prophetic thought of the apostle, the
wonder is that men want to live
that they do not hunger and thirst
for dying. For death is coronation !:
it is blossoming; it is stepping from
bondage into liberty; from darkness
into light; it is going out of a prison.

When the hero goes do not cover him
with black, nor with any OF the
circumstances that related TO him

"Christianity, after few thousand
wears, ought to have taught men that
the going out of this life is honor and
glory and Immortality. If there be
some DOOR wretch that has defied lille,

Con tinuOus Advertising.
N. G.. Fowler Jr's. Building Business.

N. C. Fowler Jrs. Building Business.
If some imbscile should come out OF
the unthawed North to preach the
business doctrine of continuous change
of business base, the business man
would take him gently by the hand,
lead him into natures solitude and
leave him there. This is precisely the
logic practiced by a merchant, adver-
tising for day, for a week, or for a
month, in Withdrawing his advertise
ment for the same period, or for a
longer one. No business man of
sense would close his store every other
day. or every other week, keeping it
closed in January and open in Feb
ruary. No merchant wonld discharge
his best clerks in midsummer because
trade appeared to be lighter. Beyond
the little effervescence of novelty, the
longer a man remains at a stated
place, the more volumniOus and solid
must be his business. Change of To-
cation is never made except to meet
necessity.
Experience, backed by the law OF
general averages, effectively shows
that the first appearance of an adver.
tisement of q new advertiser seldom
brings more than the meanest kind of
transient trade. The second appear
ance does little else than to open to
the reader an excuse for his attention.
The third suggests business. The
fourth suggests more Of it. The fifth
ia liable to impress upon the reader
that it may be to his advantage to
consider the article advertised, or
more likely to 80 strongly impress it
upon him that the memory of it may
be recalled by subsequent advertising.
The sixth appearance OF the advertise
ment is liable to be felt in the store
where the goods are for sale. Then,
only then, does advertising begin to
tell. To discontinue advertising is
simply TO destroy heavy proportion
of the preliminary education of the
possible customers who are just be-
ginning to be influenced.
People get as much accustomed to
an advertising location in their paper
as they do the location of the store it.
self. Go where you will, whether in
small villages, large towns or great
cities, the men who are doing the
business are the men who never stop
advertising, who advertise continuous
ly, who find it as necessary to adver-
tise every day as it is to keep open
their stores. The fundamental princi.
pie of continuous advertising has
been tested thousands OF times by as
many shrewd advertisers, and the
combined opinion, with hardly dis
senting voice, is in favor Of continuous
advertising, except in few exceptions,

sion.

Remedial Use OF Apples.

Chemically, the apple is composed
of vegetable fiber, albumen, sugar,
gum cliiorophyl, malic acid, gallo
acid, lime and much water. Further
more, the German analysis say that
the apple contains larger percentage
of phosphorus than any other fruit
or vegetable. The phosphorus is ad-
mirably adapted for renewing the
essential nervous matter-lecithin-
OF the brain and spinal cord. 1t is,
perhaps, for the same reason, rudely
understood, that old Scandinavian
traditions represent the apple as the
food of the gods, who, when they felt
themselves to be growing feeble and
infirm, resorted to this fruit, renewing
their powers of mind and body. Also
the acids of the apple are of singular
use for men Of sedentary habits, whose
livers are sluggish in action, those
acids serving to eliminate from the
body noxious matters. which, if re-
tanned, would make the brain heavy
and dull, or bring about jaundice or
skin eruptions and other allied troubles.
Some such experience must have led
to the custom OF taking apple sauce
with roast pork, rich goose and like
dishes. The malic acid OF ripe apples,
either raw or cooked, will neutralize
any excess of chalky matter engen-
dered by eating too much meat. 1t is
also the fact that such ripe fruits as
the apple, the pear and the plum,
when taken ripe and without sugar,
diminish acidity in the stomach,
rather than provoke it. Their vegeta-
BILE sauces and juices are converted
into alkaline carbonates, which tend
to counteract acidity.

The Mothers Influence.

1t is in the holy circle OF the Amer
ican family where the solution OF our
great social problems must be worked
out. There the father is considered
the breadwinner; the mother the
superintendent of the household. 1t
is in the family that woman is at her
best, it il not the father nor so much
the school, but the mother that forms
the character of the future citizen of
the Republic. She is the natural
economist and moralist of the family.
The line of demarcation between the
sphere occupied by the manager of an
extensive family household and that
OF the manager of State household is
one of magnitude merely. The one is
more complicated than the other, but
the governing principle is exactly the
same in both. Both are charged with
the useful application of their respect
i've resources. The average house
vile intuitively understands the duties
the members of the family owe to each
other, and to themselves. She also
knows that good morals command
moderation in their wants; industry
and conscience in their labor;
economy in the use OF their means,
and a careful regard for justice and all
the amenities of life in their relations
with each other and with their
neighbors. Adam Smith wisely says:
" What is prudence in the conduct of
every private family can scarce be folly
in that of great kingdom" Thus
the National edifice is but the super.
structure of the family units.
