Exercise for Brain Workers.

Frequently we read Of some splendid profess

increase Eminent medical men agree that this

neglect OF bodily exercise; hence irritability

sought. the faculty of the imagination breaks
away from the will. Mind activity pushed too
far impairs the general health and endangers
the brain, which, when overworked, is unable
to recuperate by nutrition; then, il the nervous
forces continue to be pushed the body breaks

The photograph entitled Hey, SIR by Mr..

graphic pictures which tell story at a glance
Mr.. Houghton hes very fine exhibit. His

admired, and his collection Of views from q

The work of Mr.. Cullen is as good as his work

best in large outdoor scenes, and his picture of
Grand Army Place during the recent G. A. r.
encampment is. IN consideration of its size, a
truly remarkable production.
In the portrait work the exhibit OF Mr. Collett
demands recognition. The only fault that can
be found wish il lies in the fact that he has not
shown more of it. His three aristotypes of a

Of the highest praise. Artistic posing Is evil

A North Dakota Monster.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
~ have just returned from a trip to North
Dakota" said James B. Hendry of Cincinnati
at the Llndell yesterday afternoon. II had
some business to transact in Dickinson. fairly
good-sized town in Stark county. in the west.
ern part of the state, on the Northern Pacific.
One ofthe leading men of that section of the coun
tryis Col j. II. Ray. Now, however, he stands a
good chance of becoming famous all over the
civilized world owing to a recent find of his.
He is interested in the building of a railroad in
Montana and some time ago his men dug up in
a gravel pit, near Glendiye, small Montana
town, what the colonel believes to be most
valuable relic Of prehistoric times.
From its structure the relic is supposed to
have been the backbone Of biped fully sixty
feet tall. A section of the vertebre Of human
being six feet in height was laid beside it and
each was found TO be an exact counterpart of
the other, with the exception that the relic was
ten times the dimensions Of the human back
bone. Col. Ray told me that the find had been
examined by members of the Smithsonian In
stitution and Oberlin College and all agreed
that the discovery Of the relic was ono of the
most valuable of its kind ever made on the
North American continent. The thing that
bothers Col. Ray is what sort of an individual
must 1t have been to. possess backbone like
that"

From the Baltimore American
The annual shopping carnival offers the best

the New York woman, her manners, peculiar
tiles and characteristics. Perhaps the feature
that would strike You first is that she who ex-

less considerate. In the crowded stores she
bumps directly into another woman and treads
upon her toes without a tinge of her conscience
or passing 'beg pardon"
As rude are New York men in crowds
their rudeness is not to be compared for
moment with that of the women toward each
other. The New York shopping woman not
only stares impolitely at the woman wearing a
new dress and bumps into the next woman
without the usual request for pardon, but she
also talks to the salesgirl as she would talk to
servant, seldom failing to remind her that the
boundary between their stations ia broad aud

New York man, going to or returning from
business, thinks he is not ungallant when he

BUTTERFLIES ON MOUNTAINS,
High Attitudes Which These Little Creature
Reach.

Reach.
From PearsalFs Weekly
correspondent writing from California gives
interesting observations upon the occurrence Of
butterflies at elevations much above any noted
Europe. 1t is remarkable, says he, that
these creatures of a summer day can hy SO far
and can bear such degree of cold as they can
do in crossing our mountain ranges
Last summer. while on peak of the Sierra
Nevada mountains, at an altitude of l3, 900 feet,
saw butterflies sailing leisurely about in the
air above me with no more ado than if it had
been lowland garden. That was above the
line OF perpetual snow. In climbing that peak
l had passed over snow ten feet Deep
At another time, in the summer of 1890,
saw butterflies at an altitude of IL 900 feet on
mountain of British Columbia, near the south
eastern frontier of Alaska There was a pass,
although high one, on the mountain and the
butterflies were going through it toward the
east and seemed to be migrating. Although
these were not SO high as those seen on the
Sierra Nevada, vet in latitude SO far north
it was surprising tos them-practicaily almost
under the Arctic circle. The butterflies were
several thousand feet above the line Of per-
petual snow. As l said. they seemed to be
crossing. all going in the same direction. Those
on the Sierra Nevada, on the other hand ap-
peared to be flying about for their own pleasure.

ABOUT TWILIGHT.

1t is the Hour When Malaria Gets In Its
Worst Work.
From the Chicago News-Record
The special danger Of the sunset hour in
malarial regions may be owing. to the following
conditions:
The microbes or spores concentrate at a level
a little above the ground, exactly as one may
observe the dust of carriages in the road in a
thick horizontal layer settle on a warm, moist
evening; then there is no lifting by ascending
air currents, but u sort of beating down to a
low level, and their conference is caused by the
disposition Of vapor on the dust particles as the
air cools.
Thus, over dried marsh there would be
great condensation of microbes or spores which
could no longer disperse. They would gather
about the height Of a mans head. just as we
see ground fog in still, moist air after a warm
day In autumn; the organisms were given off
while the surface of the ground was warm, and
they accumulate little above il as radiation
carries off the heat and cools the lowest stratum
OF air.
About sunset the earth is still warm and ex-
hales moisture into the air above it and with
the earth vapor organisms are largely given off,
The human body is at that time most suscepti-
bic to their action, because the rapid cooling
OF the skin drives the blood to the inner surfaces
OF the throat and these congested inner sur
races favor the incubation by germs drawn in
with the breath.
sunk by their own weight and that Of deposited
dew. and, moreover, the cooled body is not SO
much open to the attack of germs remaining in
the air
