ACADEMY OF FORTY.
It's Members Discuss the Laws O
Health.

Health.
At a meeting of the Academy of Forty
in Wimodaughsis parlors Thursday even
ing the subject under discussion was
Health: Can We Obtain 1t and Retain
It?" Miss English, director.
Miss English opened in the affirmative.
She advocates abstinence from all stirnu-
lants, including tea. coffee and meats. and
moderate diet Of grains, vegetables and
fruits, carefully selected with reference to
individual needs; pure air, ample exercise.
thorough bathing, a clear conscience, a
cheerful disposition and an absolute faith
In the supremacy of mind over matter.
She closed with quoting the following rules
from a well-known author: Drink less,
breathe more: eat less, chew more: ride
less, walk more; clothe less, battle more:
worry less. work more; waste less, give
more; write less, read more; preach less,
practice more
Miss Garst believed that the immunity
of great surgeons from the anesthetics
they use and the nox!ous odorS they meet
lies largely in the absolute mental suprem-
acy they maintain over disease and concen-
tration upon the case in hand. She gave
striking illustrations.
Miss Gfllett thought it an even question
as to whether the mind was itself ma
terial or the body spiritual, and gave illus
tratioDs of mental disorder and insanity
from disease, and mental cures from re-
stored physical health.
Miss Holmes had found no mental
panacea for physical suffering, and wished
health were contagious.
Miss Saunders had not touched medicine
for ten years: had learned how mental
conditions caused disease. and how their
correction removed it. From fever sore
on the lip to bunion on the foot, all were
removable, durable, preventable by health
full mental action.
Mrs. Snyder most eloquently declared the
control OF the spirit over all human ills.
Evil thoughts poison, good thoughts renew
and give nutrition to the body.
Mrs. Spencer had that morning gone into
the college hau to be reminded by wealth
of fragrance and bloom that sixty years
had gone over her head. She refused to
believe it, and students faced her with two
encyclopedias to prove it. Why, at sixteen
she expected to die soon: at thirty she was
afraid she wouldn't, and now she intended
and expected to live forever 1t all de-
ponds on the point of view. A puny, sickly
feeble child, not considered worth raising,
she had come in contact with q grand
heroic soul that had struck the chords
which awakened the, imprisoned nature
and made it free
She believes that the mind, preceding on
its mission from the great First Cause,
creates and forever recreateS the spirit
ual body. and for earthly uses the mate
rial body. and tenderly nourishes and cher
isheS both. Can we, can the human race
obtain, maintain and retain health? A
thousand times, yes!
Mrs Chisholm thought while evil forms
OF life were permitted to perpetuate them
selves it would take many generations to
restore human health.

The Former DahIia Craze.

The dahlia, named after the famous
Swedish botanist Dahl, appeared early
in this century, and was as popular in
the flower garden as were the camellias
and fuchsias in the greenhouse, and still
holds its own. This plant, which is a
native of Mexico, was practically intro
duced into England by Lady Holland
in 1904, as it had been lost since its
first appearance some 10 years previous
ly when Lady Butte imported it from
Spain. During the first 40 years Of its
popularity double dahlias were all the
fashion, and since then the single varie-
ties have BIZ their day, while at the
present time the new cactus kinds hold
the foremost place A florist, writing
about 1880, compared the fashion for
dahlias, which was then at its height,
to the tulip mania two centuries earlier,
and, although the comparison is hardly
correct, it shows the dahlia craze must
have been very marked to have even
suggested it. -Longman' s Magazine.

AMERICAN TOOLS ABROAD.

Purchasers Found For Them Nowadays
Throughout the World.
American tools are sold all over the
world. The New York representative of
an American tool manufacturing estab-
lishment when asked where American
tools were sent ran over the export or
ders received that day. They included
orders from Hungary, Austria, Ger
many, France, England, South Africa
and South America. There were alto
gether about 90 orders, and from some
of the countries named there were two
or three orders The export orders of
the previous day included orders from
Russia, Australia and New Zealand,
and these were not unusual orders, but
such as are constantly received. In the
shipping room at that moment stood
cases marked for Java, for Ecuador and
for Australia.
Many Of these orders are small In
some cases there were orders for single
tool, or for two or three; for some orders
of half dozen or two or three dozen to
supply orders or to keep lines filed.
These small orders are mostly from Eu-
ropean countries with which commu-
nication is nowadays quick and conven-
lent. European merchants order these
things just about as merchants in other
cities in this country would. 1t costs nc
more to send to London than it does to
Chicago and it is as easy to send tc
Berlin as it is to Paterson.
The characteristics that commend
these American tools to their foreign
purchasers are the same that mark
American machines and implements
generally = lightness, fine finish and
perfect adaptability to their several
uses. The exports of American tools tc
all parts of the world are steadily in
creasing. New York Sun.

Professor Norton Illustrates With Story
on Biology.
Charles Eliot Norton, professor of
arts at Harvard university, whom Mat
thew Arnold described as the "only gen
tleman in America, " objects most heart
lily to undergraduate specializing He
believes in the English university train
ing, which gives man a broad educa-
ton and liberal equipment for citizen
ship which makes of him a cultivated
gentleman. In one of his lecture courses
Professor Norton told of student with
whom he had talked. The young man
was sophomore his speciality, biolo-
gy. He described with great enthusiasm
the character of his work and lamented
the fact that he had been unable,
through the regulations Of the faculty,
to take more biology in his freshman
year. AS a Junior and senior he in
tended to elect it exclusively, he said.
The young mans enthusiasm was
rather more saddening than inspiring
to the professor -Four years devotion
to single subject was crushing to his
ideals of education. So he asked:
Don't you think that your career in
college would eventually be more salts
factory to yourself and of more profit to
others if you were to take less of biolo-
gy and acquaint yourself little with
literature and history and the arts?'
The sophomore thought he was pre-
destined for biology.
For some time Professor Norton was
silent Then he said rather absently:
Do you confine yourself to any par
ticular branch of Biology"
The face of the student frightened.
1t was evident that he did. To the pro-
fessor there was something pathetic as
we'll as humorous in thereby that came
quickly:

ed to study Of the white ants mites

1t Begins Work When Three Days Old
and Dies at Forty-flve.
G. w. Reynolds of Los Angeles,
one of the oldest travelling men In the
United States, has ranch Of which he
enjoys telling even more than he does
of the experiences through which he
has passed during his half century upon
the road. The ranch is near San Diego,
Cal The chief product is honey. This
product is gained from two apiaries,
which Mr.. Reynolds visits every time
his business permits him to go to south
ern California
In my apiaries, which are cared for
by my son. said he, "there are lao
stand Of bees. The honey season lasts
from April to July. Last season my
bees yielded 40, 900 pounds of honey,
which sells in that country in bulk lots
at cents pound. Two Of the hives
gave over 500 pounds each. For ten
years have been interested in bees in a
small way, and / take greater interest
in them every year. A hive or stand Of
bees is worth So. 90. In it are the queen,
the drones and the workers, a total
population of from 10000 to 20, 900
bees
''This very good sized colony" he
continued, resides in hive or wooden
box In the hive are dozen frames 13
by 7 inches. In these the bees make or
deposit the honey, foundation of wax
having been first placed in each frame
by the beekeeper, 90 that the bees may
have something to build upon The
honey is taken out Of the frames every
other week during the honey season.
While doing SO there is little need Of
protecting the hands The bees seem to
be most inclined to sting one in the
face. So as precaution, the man who
is removing the honey from the hives
wears straw hat, from the brim of
which is hung silk veil, like they have
to do up in the Klondike country to
ward off the summer mosquitoes.
1.-THE queen is an absolute monarch
within her dominions. She is the un-
disputed boss of the job. An ordinary
bee lives during the working season on
ly 40 days Young ones are being hatch
ed out all the time. A bee goes to work
at the tender age Of days and hustles
like veteran for 40 days Then it is
just naturally all tired out, I suppose,
for it dies. The queen lives longer, and
when young queen comes into exist
ence in the hive she drives the old
queen out. Her loyal subjects follow
her in her Punishment, and that iswhat
makes the swarm.
