We have been learning wisdom
by experience. 1t used to be thought
that the wisest course, the only
course entirely worthy of man,
was to be as sparing as possible in
ones eating. But We have learned
there is need of abundance of good,
inviting, wholesome food, if either
body or mind are to be kept up to
the proper, healthful activity. Say
ing that men ought to eat abuand-
antly, we are not preaching glut-
tony. So we are not preaching lazi-
ness when we advocate the spending
OF some OF these vacation hours in
entire ldleness, at least so far as any
palpable occupation goes. Let the
mind have free reign; do not drive
1t. Do not upbraid yourself if you
pursue 10 definite current of thought
as you lie under the shade of the
trees and watch the clouds drift
through the blue above, or as you
gaze upon the shimmering stream
IN which your line swings it's gayly
painted float, while there is not the
remotest suspicion of even a nibble,
You are absorbing ideas, even if not
conscious of the fact. You are rest
ing the powers that have been so
taxed before and that will be taxed
again. Perhaps, seemingly so idle.
you are bringing your mind into
that condition where it will leap to
tue right clew in the intricate law
case or business matter you have in
hand, or perceive in au instant the
proper remedy you should use for
your patient who is critically i'll, or
evolve that line of thought that in
sermon or essay will influence many
minds for good. Yes, it is right to
rest. We have learned that lesson,
and so in these days we are not
ashamed of vacation idleness.-
Only do not let us spoil good
thing by OVERRIDING it.

fe - miles away because it was supposed
to be mad she gave herself up for lost.
An active imagination and unusual hys-
terra did the rest. So say these doctors.
It is a curious fact that though leprosy
and hydrophobia have been known from
the earliest recorded times they are the
two diseases of which physicians know
the least, and their origin seems to elude
all inquiry.
The second case, also in Newark, was
equally dreadful at the start, but ter
minated favorably, from which the skep-
tical physicians draw important conclu-
sions. Joseph Rhein. aged 10, was bitten
in the thigh by a mongrel dog, an two
hours passed before the wound was eau
terized. He played till night, with his
usual cheerfulness, but on going to bed
was suddenly taken with the first symp-
toms of hydrophobia-that is, fever,
restlessness, pain in the head and back
and inability to swallow. His mother
called In q neighbor man and started for
the doctor. She had no sooner left the
house than the boy went into convul-
sions. In Is minutes his face was trans
formed till its expression was frightful.
He howled, snapped, bit the bedclothes
and struggled so violently that three
men held him only with 1o460R-
Guilty.
The physicians admiul1a sAioro-
form and after it hypodermic injections
Of morphine. About midnight the boy
took q decided turn for the better. To-
ward morning he sank into o refreshing
sleep and at 8 q n. got up free from
spasms, but very weak, and has slowly
recovered. Fortunately the dog was not
killed, and all who have inspected him
declare he ID not mad. Now, say the

tery and other symptoms were present.
Next day the commissions began. and as
Dr.. j. FL. Bryan approached her she cried
ont:
Doctor, | am mad. I believe I have
hydrophoSia. Keep your hands away
or / shall bite you, and | would not do
that for the world"
The young man to whom Miss Lizzie
was to have been married ina few weeks
was sent for, and for the remaining two
days and nights of her life never left her
bedside. The scene was too dreadful for
description. She could swallow nothing.
Her means were like those Of a dog in
pain. She barked and snapped like a
dog. La the brief intervals of rest she
begged her weeping friends to keep away
from her, and in one of her spasms
scratched the arm of her lover, Mr.. Mat
thew Apologize, which seemed to add to
her grief. CONFUSION then succeeded
CONFUSION SO rapidly that there was nc
interval for rallying, and three days aft
or being taken sick she died of complete
exhaustion. \
And then the usual dispute arose. De-
spite the symptoms. several physicians
who studied the case declare that Miss
Byraln could not have had hydrophobia.
II IS alleged that, although she looked al
well as usual, her health and strength
. really declining for other reasons
md when che heard that q dog resem,
bling the one thar bit her was killed

A Dangerous Practice.

Ladies who do a great deal of sewing
frequently suffer a great deal from sore
ness of the mouth and lips and are often
at a loss to ascertain the cause Of the
trouble. Half the time it is simply the
result of biting off thread instead of us
ing a pair of shears for cutting. In the
case of silk thread the danger is quite
marked, because it Is usual to soak the
thread in acetate of lead, partly to hard
EN- it and give it a good surface, and also
perhaps to increase its weight some
what. Ii this practice is followed reg
ularly and very much silk thread ia
used, the results may be quite serious
and even lead to blood poisoning.

A special machine has been devised for
