 M LABOR, LIFE.
 When Miss Frances Willard called upon Sir Andrew Clark, (ths famous London physician wAo died recently to the great loss of @ multitude of patients and friends in all ranks of life). he gave her, instead of medicine, some good advice and few simple rules which she took pains to write out in order that others might benefit by the wisdom of the good physician
 He found her suffering from nervous exhaustion caused by overwork. Possibly not all have what he declared her to be possessed of beautiful lungs and a beauti- ful heart" but even If these are physio logically unlovely no one could help but be benefited by his prescription of ''rest. pure air, cheerful companions, simple diet, and no end of outdoors" All his directions were as simple as pos .ible. Rest" did not, with him, mean idleness. for he said, Ease Is the way to disease" it meant only quiet repose at night and work, but not overwork, by day. Here are sorle of his rules and we shall all be the better If we make up our minds to obey them, whether we are ailing and wish to be well or whether we are in good health and would like to remain so. "Clothe warmly and loosely. Avoid chills, damp and passive exposure to the air. Take three simple, nourishing meals daily, and nothing between them" "Walk at least half an hour twice daily"
 "Retire as soon as possible after 10. See that your room is airy. Avoid self notice and self-distrust. Shun ease and lead a full and regular, an active and occupied life"
 "Tske nothing between meals" "Never take a sleeping draught." "Take as little medicine as possible; &C., cept your sufferipgs; strength Is perfected in weakness; in labor you will find life. Labor Is the life of llfe."
 Evidently the famous physician believes that
 Rest is not quitting The busy career; Rest is the fitting ThyseIf to thy sphere" If 1t were only possible for us to care for tue body So that 1t might always ba fitted for the full, active, occupied life Perhaps 1t would be easier than we think. if we were only more resolute, more faithful In
  But we neglect 1t in our over-occupstion, or psmper 1t, or weaken 1t by our indo- lence. It is we'll that physical culture is | being 90 widely studisa. It may be some what overdone just at present, but that | matter, we hope, will right itself. It gives | the promise of fuller and more useful life, | when the strong mind and the vigorous body shall work uui,edly, gladly and tri- | umphantly.
 AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.. A test, comparative ss far as the class in | question was concerned, has been made with rather curious results.
 Twenty five men and twenty five women of class In psychology were asked to write as quickly as possible one hundrel words chosen at random, just ss they occurred to the mind of the writer.
 Oat of the five thousand words thus
 written, there were only one thousand two
 hundred and sixty six words which were | found but once in the ists.
 The men sesmed to have @ wider vocabu- lsry and more originality of thought was credited to then, because of thess words
 which appeared but once in the lists they
 wrote seven hundred and forty-six, while
 the women wrote orly five hundred and
 twenty.
 Only one hundred and twenty-nine arti.
 cles of dress suggested themselves to the
 men, and their fresdom from culinary per
 p!eXities showed itself in the fact that they
 set down but fifty eight articles of food.
 On the women's lists were found two hun | dred and twenty-fcur articles of dress
 while of food they had written one hun
 dred and seventy nine. Tbis, however
 does not prove that women care more fol | dress UT for food than men do; it Is only
 that they are more converssnt with the de
 tails of preparing and providing these very
 important factors in human comfort and
 sustensncs.
 The men wrote words connected witt
 business and politics, with technical terml of various professions; the women's lists contained words relating to literature, art home sfsirs snd travel. It is little singular, in making out , such list, that one word will so rapidly suggsst another. Some subtle association will link them together and they will fol low faster and faster until onecsn hardly , write them quickly enough. This fact l' seen to advantage in gsme-nsme un known-which may bs played with greal enjoyment by party of quick-wi , people, young and old.
 Ali start from the same place. Washing
 ton, for instance, each writing this for th, | first word on the list, and some word sug gested by 1t for the second. It is possible
 for the players to transport themselves tC
 some other city, San Frsncisco, er Vienna
 or Jerusalem, by means of the association
 of ideas, and all within the limit of on,
 hundred words, or even less. In fact, on, player, not long ago, started from tha , famous city and the train Of though
 which bore her away carried her back and deposited her there before she had writer half the required number of words. Thil Is the way che travelled, and 1t will be seer
 that there Is no break anywhere, reguls
 connections, and no stopping for refresh ments even, though other cities wer' visited.
