Many lawyers nowadays utterly dis

they elicit evidence or invalidate the
testimony OF those opposed to them,
in illustration OF which we need only
adduce the following specimen Of cross

the goodness to answer me directly

tons?

mentioned in one of the afternoon pa

several awning makers were at the
home OF the future brides parents,
soliciting the contract for supplying an
awning when the event came off. On
the same morning and in the first
mail no less than half dozen printers
and engravers sent samples OF their
work and quoted prices for which they
would be willing to prepare the
wedding cards according to the latest
dictates OF fashion. During the re-
mainder OF the week milliners. cater
ers, dressmskers, liverymen, furniture
dealers, hardware men and dry goods
merchants made known their desire
to supply the future bride and groom

To understand how to rest says
Popular Science News. is OF more i'm
portance than to know how to work.
The latter can be learned easily, the
former it takes years to learn, and
some people never learn the art OF
resting. 1t is simply change oil
scenes and activities. Loafing may
not be resting. Sleeping is not always
resting. Sitting down for days with
nothing to do is not restiul. A change
is needed to bring into play different
set OF faculties, and to turn the life into
a new channel. The man who works
hard finds his best rest in playing
hard. The man who is burdened with
care finds relief in something that is
active yet from responsibility. Above
all, keep good natured. and don'tabuse
