Dyspeptics, and their name is legion
in this land of hurry, rush and push,
should take to heart the advice of DR..
Fl. L. Taylor in the current Popular
Science Monthly on exercise and it's
value as a remedial and curative agent,
wherein he says:
As the larger number of functional
disorders Of the digestive system, such
as dyspepsia and constipation, are the
result either of the habitual neglect Of
muscular exercise, or else of exercise
taken under conditions Of hurry, nerv-
Gus tension, or fatigue, it is clear that
the regulation of exercise and habits Of
life must be urgently indicated. In con-
dition Of atony (Want of tone or vigor)
the patient must be trained to a variety
OF exercises, especially those involving
the waist, abdomen, and trunk, among
which the more active ones may be
gradually introduced. In the cases
due to debility from nerve tire, exercises
requiring much skill should not be
chosen, since these involve increas sed
demands on the higher nerve centers.
As there is usually sluggishness of the
abdominal circulation, those exercises
should be selected which will act on the
abdominal organs through the muscles
Of the waist and trunk and upon respi-
ration.

ments, concerning the discharge Of con-
victs and the commission Of great
crimes. They would be in close COM
munication with all the detective forces
of the States of the Union; would know
all the movements of crooks and GRIM
inals generally, and be so related to all
detective work throughout the Nation,
that their information would be of in
estimable value to the State, not only
in pursuing criminals, but in prevent
ing crime.
The instant a murder was commit
ted and the perpetrators reported to be
at large, the central Office would notify
its widely separated stations, and these
in turn all officers near them, while the
chief would address every Sheriff in
the State, and SO far as possible in
struct them as to methods for capture,
end for closing avenues of escape. In
stead Of depending as now upon news
paper accounts, fugitive information,
conflicting rumors and the interest or
Indifference of officers in notifying each
other. every peace officer in the State
inside of an hour or two would have or
ders and advices from the Constabulary
Chief and stations concerning every
known detail, description of the person
wanted, character of the crime, and
the most reasonable theory upon which
to proceed.
We would thus have an organized,
systematized body of over 900 officers
exclusive Of city police-well distributed
throughout the State, bound to follow
the directions of the central office, and
acting in harmony and in concert. AS
the peace officers of each county would
be under the same general direction,
there would be no working at cross
purposes and no necessity for any Sher
iff or sub-peace official to operate out
side of his county or township. Thus
money would be saved to the officers,
to the counties, and to the towns and
cities. The entire cost of maintaining
such force outside Of the costs Of
travel and telegraphic service, it has
been estimated by officers, need not ex
vice would not amount to much, If any
greater cost, so that for $4,000 a year
or 81, 800 month we could have a sys-
tematic method, and a skilled force,
handled with intelligence and prompt
ness that would render the escape of
criminals well nigh impossible. The
Blanthers, Dunhams, Tom Lawtons and
half hundred others who have COM
mitted awful crimes and escaped under
the noses of the unrelated and unor-
ganized officers of the State, would
scarcely ge clear of apprehension.
1t is probable that the cost to counties
in searching out criminals who are not
captured has exceeded in several single
cases more than the entire cost of a
State Constabulary for a. year. A few
years ago Shasta County, Amador,
Ca1averas and some other counties in
tested with highwaymen were seriously
crippled by the enormous cost of cap
turing and bringing rascals to convic-
ton, or in searching for robbers never
found. Yet not these counties, but all
the State was interested in the affairs,
and mora so were populous counties,
very often. than those sparsely settled

of life that he cannot buffet will grad
ually overwhelm him.
1t is perhaps hackneyed suggestion,
that we might make our lives simpler
and our wants fewer, and thus reduce
many of the troubles which now vex
and harass us. 1t is true we can no
longer lead the artless and irresponsi-
BILE life of the child, but it is for each
one to consider for himself whether
some of the troubles which now dis
tress him do not spring from sources
which he is we'll able to remove. If
what a reasonable estimate pronounces
to be superfuous in our lives, I. e., pro-
ductive of but little good to ourselves
or others, were to be resolutely cut off

and example set will linger as long as
time lasts.
"You may break, you may shatter the vase if
you will;
But the scent of the roses will cling to it STILL"
It is with sorrow and feeling of
sadness that we view the contrast of
character formed under evil influences
or of one living needless of the great
commandment written by the finger of
God, "Honor thy father and thy moth
er,' one so depraved, with heart filled
with wicked designs, committing
crimes of the lowest depths, and to
whisper evil in the ears and place the
glass of intoxicant in the hands of the
innocent leading them down that dark
pathway of ruin, until they are for
ever lost. Again we say if you have a
boy, behold the confidence he has in
you, with what pride, innocence and
earnestness he looks you in the face,
as he listens to your instruction, trying
to understand every word you utter
How you love that child, but by your
blind stupidity you are welding an in
huence that will make his life living
hell, blasting all honest hopes and
ambition without which he sinks in
the scales to a mean beast, drunkard

EDWARD w. BOX.

1t is just twenty-five years ago, says
Arthur Reed in the Boston Journal,
that there came to our school in Brook
lyn one of the greenest Dutch boys i'm
aginabe. He could not speak word
of English; he could not understand
syllable of the language spoken on
every side of him. He was the butt
of the school,; he was our foreign play
thing. He had just come from Hol-
land. He was Dutch in speech, Dutch
in clothes, Dutch in everything. To-
day, this same Dutch youth, at thirty
one years of age, is famous, successful,
and one of the most popular young
men in America. 1t is contrast; the
Dutch boy of six and the popular Ed
ward Box of today, about whom not
trace of his Dutch birth remains save
his breeding. For Edward Box comes
of excellent Dutch stock-nOble in it's
lineage, ariStOcratic in its position IN
Holland, proud of its achievements.
The family is one of the best in Am
sterdam, tracing back it's lineage for
centuries. To be a Box in Holland
means something. The father of the
Mr.. Box we know in America was one
of the wealthiest men in Holland, and
one of the ministers of the court of the
late King William III. His grand
| father was Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court; his great-grandfatheI
the Admiral-in- Chief of the Dutch
Navy. But when Edward Box came
to America it was as poor boy. His
father had failed; the position of his
family forbade that the father shoulC
remain in Holland amid reverses, ano
so he came to America, bringing hi:
wife and his two boys, the younger be
ing Edward. The fathers connection!
in Holland soon brought him into goo(
position here, ensuring certain com
forts. But in 1881 he died, leaving lit
tie to his family except his good name
and then it was that the career of Ed
ward Box first took root. This is four
teen years ago, and what he has accom-
plished has been done in that time.
His first start was with a hobby, tina
of collecting autograph letters fror

TROUBLES OF THE YOUNG AND
THE OLD.

Whether the troubles of the young
or of the old are greater is, perhaps, not
very important question to decide;
certainly it is one which does not
promise any very satisfactory solution.
The young have no experience OF the
troubles of the old, and the old have
forgotten most of the grievances Of
their own young days. Thus each,
failing to realize the trouble of the
other, are inclined to underrate them.
A comparison between them, however,
while not likely to settle their relative
proportions, may reveal something of
their respective sources, and thus may
suggest the best means of banishing or
bearing them. 1t is certain that the
feelings of youth are more fresh and
vivid, and, while their joys are keener
their sufferings also are more acute
Older persons often overlook this in
according their sympathy. They
smile at a child's pain of body or OF
mind; they make light of the suffering
which youth endures from shyness
or shame, ridicule or contempt, cen
sure or GOODNESS on the ground OF the
triviality of the cause, assuring him
sometimes, that he has not begun t(
see trouble yet. They forget as thu
years roll on, though the depth of feel
ing may increase, its sharpness de
clines, and though troubles may be
come more serious, the power to bea
them grows stronger. The sympath,
of the elders is very dear to the young
and it is too often withheld from
mistaken notion that it is unneeded
That the cause seems to them made

MOTHERS INFLUENCE.

How often we have heard men and
women remark, "My pathway through
life has been illuminated by a mothers
influence. She taught me to live right
and fear not, and taught me from her
own pure lips that good character
was to be priced higher than great
riches" Many men have arisen to the
highest estate among their fellow men
through the early training, companion
ship, and counsel of their mother. A
mothers influence is unlimited. She
will willingly bear suffering and death
for her child. No monarch on his
throne ever ruled an empire with
greater power than the scepter of in
fluence a mother wields over the home,
let that be for good or evil. How nec-
essary it is that she should exercise the
greatest care in directing the feet of
the little ones intrusted to her care up
the shining pathway of purity and
holiness, on their first entrance in the
arena of life. 1t is then the tender
little hearts and minds most need a
mothers influence to lead them into a
perfect state from childhood to youth;
then the same influence fingers on
through after years and will bring out
the perfect manhood and womanhood.
Yet all are the architects of their own
characters, but governed by early in
fuence in molding that character.
How often we look back through the
mist of years and hear again the ten
der and loving voice of our mother
admonishing us of the serpent OF
temptation lurking along our pathway
of life; again lovingly speaking to us
Of the better way. AS we gaze IN

the most perfect Ito u.s. of all women

The voyage of life, dancing dream
A hasty ride O'er ripping stream,
The sky is clear as joyous day.
We float serene in idle play.
Close close to shore at first we ride,
Then venture out with sails spread wide,
But little clouds are seen to rise
And sunlight fades from out the skies.
And angry storms that reign at night
Will test the strength of boats so light,
Well seek the shore, at anchor lay.
Till sunshine comes another day,
But while we would tits lost from view.
This bounding track is rough and new
There is no light, hopes nearly lost.
Our boat DER angry waves is tossed;
Oh must we sink beneath the wave?
Will no one come our lives to save?
The lightnings flash. the thunders peal,
And with force of mighty zeal,
The bowling winds tear into shredS
Our sails. The storm means round our heads;
Meath frothing foam and rising wave.
Must find tonight a watery grave?
"Ho, there" a lifeboat come to save
And land you far beyond the wave.
Midst loudest roar we heard your cry,
Oh come with us, you shall not die!
When hope was lost, yet near were we,
We heard your cry, yet could not see.
Well bear you safely to the land,
Where friends await with Outstretched hands,
The day is calm, the sun shines bright.
No trace of storm that reigned last night
Save broken trunk of fallen tree,
The wreck of boat in open sea.
A soul that felt itself alone
Had never need of cross or crown,
Subdued and calm with secret peace
A heartfelt praise for strange release.
A sense that life hath things to learn
That deep within the heart must burn,
A love for God in darkest hour,
A knowledge that His loving power
Will make us strong, though dark the night,
We'll know His love and seek His light.
That trial hours we must endure,
FOrbearance sweet the heart makes pure,
The great oak may be torn in twain
The roots are there to start again.
