A GOOD WAY TO REST.
Give the Mind as Well as the Body the
Mueh-Needed Relaxation.

Give the Mind as Well as the Body the
Mueh-Needed Relaxation.
1t is a fact hat seems to be not al
ways appreciated by the majority of
persons that the mind needs rest quite
as much as the body. The idea of rest.
to most people. seems to mean just to
leave off physical exertion; but this is
one of the serious mistakes. 1t is often
the case hat the mind is much more in
need of rest than the body, and that
physical recuperation is next to impos-
sible without freedom from mental
strain and worry.
The mother rests by sitting down to
tend the baby or to look over the
dilapidated wardrobe of her large fam
lily of small responsibilities. The bust
ness man often rests by leaving his
counting-room and going out to look
owe some bit of real estate. possibly
some unproductive corner in the worlds
great vineyard. a corner perhaps neg
lected and abused, and one which has
caused him no end of trouble.
Instead of going quietly away where
absolute relaxation of mind and body
is possible, these persons merely sub
stitute one kind of work for another.
The result is that many people come to
believe that, for some a or other
that they can't understand, what peo-
pie call rest and relaxation amount to
very little for them; and this is true,
but through no fault whatever of the
theory. 1t is entirely the practice that
is wrong.
Ill-temper, mental irritation and a
general sense of discomfort and unrest
are symptoms not in the least under
stood by many over-worked people.
and that entire freedom from care and
worry are at times as necessary as
sleep does not eve occur to them.
They seem to take it for granted
that a nights rest gives the mind
as we'll as the body all of the re-
taxation that is necessary, but such
persons often find themselves
ing languid and miserable. They have
curtailed the hours of physical rest.
They rise unduly and sit up long after
they should be asleep. The mind as
well as the body feels the strain, and
evidences of breaking up appear in the
overtaxed, irritable, nervous, bad tenn
per and often violent outbreaks.
When people find themselves guilty
of a state of mind productive of domes-
tic infelicities, they should stop a mo-
ment and wonder whether the cause is
not in too long hours, too much care
and too little rest and relaxation. Be
cause we can not see the tangible
action of mind WEAKNESS, and because
it only works in a secondary fashion.
we are wont to overlook one of the
most important laws of life, which is
that all portions of the system should
have their due and appointed times of
rest and that violation of the laws of
the mind is attended with just as un-
pleasant consequences as violations of
the laws of body.-N. Y. Ledger.

ing fellow, turned away from the sight
with an expression of mingled awe and
disgust, and eX~pectorating with some
force, exclaimed: Say, fellers, this is
too dang much for me! Them things
give me the fontags. Seems like I can
taste EN-"
With Il laugh the others followed the
squeaniish fellow from the building
without going any further and thus
missing many very interesting sights,
among them being the pueblos of the
AZtecs.
Ranged along in the central portion
of the building are these primitive
structures of the most ancient race of
redmen in North America. They are
in miniature, Of course, but they are SO
carefully modelled after the originals
that they afford an accurate study of
the building methods of a historic race.
Five models of as many famous
pueblos of Arizona and New Mexico
occupy space in the main corridor of
the building. The stone and adobe
dwellings Of the sedentary tribes
which of all the Indians reached the
highest mark of civilization are shown
as they stand to-day. These sedentary
tribes, SO called in distinction from the
nomadic tribes, lived in that part of
the continent which is now included
by the territories of New Mexico and
Arizona The very fact of the 'situa-
ton of the pueblos signifies a great
deal to a student of ethnology. The
advancement of the savage to a
state where a tribe lived together all
the time within the walls of a city and
could be found at home at any time by
a band of hostile Indians is in a
measure accounted for by the prox-
unity to the domains of the great
Aztecs. The range of the civilization
of the ancient inhabitants of Mexico
was as far reaching as it was potent.
One OF the most remarkable of the
pueblos is hat of Bonito in the canyon
of Chaco in New Mexico. This home Of
the Indian vas built in the shape of a
half circle and faced out on a yawning
chasm. The high walls of the houses
facing to the rear served the double
purpose of a ~fortiication against
enemies and a protection against the
elements. The buildings were all of
stone and the masonry of the tribe.
judged by the ruins of the towns that
are left, vas really marvellous. Their
tools were much better than those of
the other tribes of the time and the
people more peaceful and industrious.

though somewhat removed from the
central portion of the grounds this
building is at all times thronged with
visitors who seem 10th to leave the de-
cayed remnants of former members of
early tribes of this country and the
moldy skulls of human beings who once
lived and moved and had their being in
all quarters of the globe.
There seems to be q sort of fascina-
ton in these repulsive relics. The aver
age person will stand and gaze into the
sightless sockets of a grinning skull
with as, much interest as he will view a
beautiful picture or a wonderful mech
anism. OF course there are exceptions.
Some people-and they are not only the
timid, nervous women. either-steer
clear of these exhibits and glance
aslkance at them if they unintentionally
happen upon them.

KNOW WHEN TO GO.

Welcome Guest.

This Quality Makes a Visitor an Always
Welcome Guest.
In the season of summer visiting it is
well to say a few words to the visitor
about the proper time to bring such
makes n SO popular in a friends
house as knowing to a nicely when it
is time to go. Hospitality is a delight
full virtue. but it can be worn out by
those who have not the divination or
tact that in~structs them that there are
times when even their delightful society
can be dispensed with.
Suppose you meet a friend on the
street and with courteous warmth ne
insists upon your visiting his house.
He says, DO come out and see us for a
few days" and you, beaming all over
with anticipation of a breathing spell
outside of the city, accept with pleasure
this kind invitation.
When the time arrives and you go
you find the two or three days for
which you have been invited passing
all too quickly to suit you, and, there
fore, perhaps, when the casual remark
is made that you.must not hurry away
you decide to stay on, feeling only
selfish qualification in being able to in
dulge in country life a few days longer,
and never dreaming that you are per-
haps dis%arranging plans made by your
host and hostess for the very days that
you have overstayed the limit of their
invitation. :
Even though the time is not specified
never overstay your welcome. Short
visits make long friends, and it is bet
ter to leave when your departure will
be regretted than to make those be-
hind you twice glad-once when you
come and once when you go.-Chicago
Times.

POstOffceS.

Between the New York and Brooklyn
Postoffices.
Postmaster Van Colt is much grattied
that the postotlice department has decided
to make practical test of rapid trnnSpor-
tation Of mail matter between New \ ork
and Brooklyn, as reported in New York
Suu's Washington dispatch.
The New York Office sends to Brooklyn
every day $4,000 letters and 10000 circu-
lars, newspapers, and packages mailed i'll
this city, and many more pieces OF mail
which come from outsie points and are
rchandled or transferred ut thc New \ rk
office before they reach Brooklyn. This
mail is packed in 1870 pouches and about
GO sacks and transported in wagons, a
wagon leaving the New York office every
half hour Every one familiar with the
condition of traffic OH Park row between
the postoffice and the bridge knows that
there arc many half hours in the day when
that short trip is made slow and uncer-
tain by the frequent blockade and crush
of vehicles. Mr.. Van Colt has frequent
ly urged the department to adopt some
speedier and surer means OF mail trans
portation between the two cities, and he
said that it was surprising to him the ex-
pertinent was not determined on long ago
The plan which the department has
agreed TO test is the invention OF M. l'ry-
sun, and it is to he operated by the Auto
matte Dispatch company, of which U. 81.
Nudge is president and Oscar Z. Wheeler
is secretary. The transportation will be
done by miniature trolley railway, enclos-
ed in Is inch square conduit. The nail
matter will be placed il carriers Of steel
wire, four feet long and fourteen inches
square, each carrier taking pouch con-
tanning 5000 letters, or an equal bulk OF
other classes of mail. In the end of
each carrier or car is small electric mo-
tor, taking the current from wire run
nine l,eIween tile tracks, 1t is expected
that the cars will develop II speed Of be-
tween 10 and 100 miles an hour. The
cutting Of the power and AL switching will
be done automatically, 50 that the clerks
ut either end vii! merely have TO load and
start the cars. The conduits, if the pres
est pians are carried ont, will he suspend
ed from the iron work Of the bridge ofthe
elevated road on Adams street, Broyklyn.
