A great deal of the real OF iinagin,

from their nerves is largely due to
the fact that they do not Ike enough

of slumber, but to that economy OF

Exercise ana Health.

1t is important to notice how much
depends Oh what students and young
men arc apt to despise as below their
notice. mean q perfectly sound
physical condition. Take two men,
if they could be found, exactly alike
in mental and bodily aptitudes, and
let the one go on carelessly and idly
INDUCING bis appetites and generally
leading a life of what is called pleas.
ure, and let the other train himself by
carly hours, by temperate habits and
by giving to muscle and brain each
their fair share of employment, and at
the end of two or three years they
will be rs widely apart in their
capacity for cxcrtion as if they had
been born with wholly different con-
stitutions.
Without a normal healthy condi-
ton there can, as a rule, be NO good
work, md though that qualification
can not absolutely be secured or pre-
served by say rules, q little common
sense and care will goa long wsy
both in securing and preserving il.
On tbst point I will just give these
hints: First, that it is not mental labor
that hurts ANYBODY, unless the excess
be very great, but, rather, fretting
and fidgeting over the prospect Of
labor to be gone through, so thai the
man who can accustom himself to
take things calmly, which ia quite as
mich q matter of discipline as of
nature, and who, by keeping well be-
forehabd w~ithcwhst he has to do,
avoids undue hurry and nervous tx-

Raise

~ nc apparent 10 u farmers,
that If they continue to raise wheat as
4 sole and exclusive money crop"
they a not make sny money, and if
they do not actually lose money by
the operation they are very fortunate
The time for making money out of
wheat culture in this locality is over,
and the quicker our farmers find this
out the better it will be for them from
. financial standpoint. But what
shall our farmers raise? We say: Ia
addition to YOUR wheat crop raise =
tobacco crop. Do not rely on wheat
alone. We would net advise to stop
growing wheat entirely, but advise to
SOW . little less wheat aud put in some
tobacco. And now is the time to be-
gin. II is not too late for oHr farmers
to put in q small crop this year by
way of experiment. The soil ofCape
Girartieau, Scott and Stoddard is
well adapted to raising tobacco. In
times past . good deal of very fine
tobacco was raised in Cape Girardeau
aud Scott counties and we remember
that only a few years ago many hog
heads OF tobacco were shipped fron
here raised in Stoddard county.
Personally we know something about
raising tobacco and while 4 boy work
cd in q tobacco field and know that
the business is profitable. The hilly
portion OF Scott county ia 4 fine to-
bacco country. The price of tobacco
too is now very good, ranging rs high
as Is cents per pound for good Burnley
leaf this year. Probably our farmers
could realize on tobacco raised 8 TO IL
cents per pound on an average aud il
our German farmers, with their well
known are in planting and desire "a
make money out Of crops, would take
hold Of this business they would soOn
get the top price for their production
ranging from 12to 16 cents per pound
OF course it requires care 10 rails,
good tobacco, but it requires atten.
ton and care to raise anything. II
seems to US that now is the time to
take up tobacco culture again in this
county. Every farmer ought to put
in at least three, if not five acres. On
very good clover land or new ground
from 1900 to 1900 pounds of good
tobacco al be raised, but a fair
average would be 1000 pounds pei
acre. Burley tobacco now sells from
5 to l6 cents per pound and it is moi
unreasonable to suppose that tobacco
raised in this county would sell for from
$500 to $1,000 per hundred pounds
Allowing three acres 10 the hand en-
ployed the average production would
be to the hand 5000 pounds and the
price this 5000 pounds would bring
at say, only $500 10 $500 per
hundred pounds would be from
$4,000 to $4,000 for three acres.
And say that the cost of the labor fol
six months is $4,000 or $1,000 per
month, a very respectable profit is left
to the planter, very greatly exceeding
the profit now made Of wheat. BE
sides q large portion of the land can
be sown in clover and rested, hog.
aud cattle raised in addition snd al
most as much wheat as is raised now.
We are glad to learn that Mr.. Louis
IIouck has sent to Kentucky for some
Burley tobacco seed and that he ill.,
tends 10 furnish this seed to such
farmers of Cape Girardeau Township
free as may desire to put in tobacco.

She can not have much fun unless
they are kind to her and do their

Oh, not always.

Lots OF them-though, apparently,
not quite enough to go around.
But there are surplus females in

Yes, there are let's of surplus shop

mental persons of various sorts.
And can not housemaids be re-
cruitcd from this unemployed sur
plus?
I~Iousework at present is hardly at
trative enough for that.
But couldn't it be made so?
That is q problem very fit for
American ladies TO consider.
And if they do, and cannot solve it,
what then?
Then 1t certainly behooves them to
cultivate fewer wants and simpler

It required a special train of Is ears

no little attention along the route.
The train left Independence Wednes-

Galesburg in the afternoon.
The horseman and his retinue were
met at Burlington by delegation
from Galesburg. including the mayor
and a number of prominent citizens.
They acted as an honorary escort to
the Illinois city which will be his
future home. Williams departure
