mond was destroyed by fire this morning.

THE WISDOM OF REST.
How Busy Women Can Add to Length 90
Life and Happiness.

Life and Happiness.
In these days of ten-minutes-a-day
reading, or half-hour studying societies
for improving the mind, how many
women make it point to spend certain
minutes" in rest 70 improve their
nerves and their beauty? Good health
is of vastly more importance than in
tellectuality, for Of what comfort to lbs
possessor, or 10 anyone else, is the most
brilliant mind which lives in a weary
or nervous body? believe that sheer
WEAKNESS causes more trouble in the
world than it ever gets blamed for. A
rested person, other things being right,
is a pleasant one; while a tired person,
under whatever advantageous circun-
stances, is almost sure to be cross. Many
a family wrangle has started from n
few sharp words caused by over
strained nerves.
1t is natural-and perfectly right
for a woman to always consider her per-
sonal appearance of great Importance.
That fact should cause the subject of
rest to find favor, as those who are al
ways u HbllC ONcIllICi hCNCi 4OOh "Clis
Their faces assume worried, frowning
expression, and wrinkles, gray hairs,
dull eyes and sallow complexion fol-
low in natural succession
Would you keep your fresh complex
ion, and plumpness, and bright eyes?
Then rest, rest often, and rest in the
right way. Do not insist that change
of occupation is rest. There is no
greater delusion. 1t is nothing of the
kind. 1t simply varies the kind of ia
tigue-adds another different in loca-
ton. The best rest, the only real rest,
is found in q recumbent position. No
one can stand or sit without holding
comparatively taut some muscles, and
the tension tires them and the nerves
by sympathy. To rest, lie down on
something entirely comfortable, and
relax every nerve and muscle as much
as possible. This is not altogether easy
to do at first, but practice makes per-
feet" The rest of it is wonderful
in fact, the whole secret of it lies in
the one word: relaxation. Notice o
baby's or an animals complete relax
alton while it sleeps. Five minutes at
a time several times day-and more, il
possible-of such rest will certainly
add to the length of life and happi-
ness.
Many people think that they cannot
afford to lie down in the daytime, or if
they do that they must improve the
time by reading. 1t is false idea of
On economy of time. Neither the read
ing nor the resting is well done; and
so the time spent is practically wasted.
But to take little rests-lying down
does not waste time; it is time invest
ed in a way that pays big dividends.
The bright eyes, the good color, and
good temper of a rested person are to
a home worth many times what the
sewing, or embroidery, or crocheting,
or even reading accomplished in the
same amount of time, could ever pos
sibly be worth.-Rose Thorn, in Ladies'
