Mind and Health.

The mental condition has far more
influence upon the bodily health than
Is generally supposed. 1t is no doubt
true that ailments of the body cause
depressing and morbid conditions OF
the mind, but it is no less true that
sorrowful and disagreeable emotions
produce disease in persons who, unin.
fuenced by them, would be in sound
health; or, If disease is not produced,
the functions are disordered.
Agreeable emotions set in motion
nervous currents which stimulate re
blood, brain, and every part Of the sys-
tenn into healthful activity; while
grief, disappointment of feeling, and
brooding over present sorrows or past
mistakes depress all the vital forces.
To be physically well one must, In gen.
eral, be happy. The reverse is not al
ways true; one may be happy and
cheerful, and yet be constant sufferer
in body.

HOW TO RELAX.

Cold weather, whether damp or dry, will
produce, even if we are extremely careful,
sudden soreness and stiffness of the limbs
and muscles. This is much owing to sud
den change of temperature from warm
room to outdoor air. Cold contracts and
warmth expands or relaxes, and it is for
this reason that when one is sore and stiff
from sudden cold, the application of ST.
Jacobs Oil brings immediate and sure re-
lief, as it gives warmth and relaxation to
the stiffened muscles and makes supple the
sore and cramped limbs With vigorous
rubbing with this great remedy for pain
no one need suffer with soreness and stiff,
ness more than very short time 1t is
especially the best remedy for suffering
where we require prompt cure, and it is
permanent

Laurence Hutton Tells How He Suc-
cumbed to Tempta tion in Youth.
The Boy was taught, from the earliest
awakening of his reasoning powers,
that truth was to be told and to be re-
wicked or more ungentlemanly than a
broken promise. He learned very early
to do as he was told, and not to do, I'M
der any considera tfon, what he had said
he would not do. Upon this last point
he was strictly conscientious, although
once, literally, he "beat about the BUSH !
His Aunt Margaret, always devoted to
stoop of his grandfather's house, lit
tie grove of orange and lemon trees in
pots. Some one of these was usually
in fruit or in flower, and the fruit to
The Boy was a great temptation. He
was very fond of oranges, and it SEEM
ed to him that Homemade orange,
which he had never tasted, must be
much better than grocer's orange; as
homemade cake was certainly prefer
able, even to the wonderful cakes made
by the professional Mrs. Milderberger.
He watched these little green oranges
from day to day, as they gradually
grew big and yellow in the sun. He
promised faithfully that he would not
pick any, but he had notion that some
of them might drop off. He never
shook the trees, because he said he
would not. But he shook the stoop! And
he hung about the bush, which he was
too honest to beat. One unusually
tempting orange, which he had known
from it's bud-hood, finally overcame
him. He did not pick it off, he did not
shake it off; he compromised with his
conscience by lying fat on his back and
biting off piece Of it. 1t was not a
very good action, nor was it a good
orange, and for that reason, perhaps,
he went home Immediately and told on
himself. He told his mother. He did
not tell his Aunt Margaret. His moth
er did not seem to be.aS much shocked
at his conduct as he was. But, in her
own quaint way, she gave him to un-
derstand that promises were not made
to be cracked any more than they were
made to be broken-that he had been |
false to himself in heart, if not in deed, /
and that he must go back and make it |
''all right" with his Aunt Margaret. She /
did not seem to be very much shocked, |
either; he could not tell why. But they
punished The Boy. Fhey made him eat
the rest of the orange!
He lost all subsequent interest in that I
tropical glade, and he has never cared I
much for domestic oranges since.-St
Nicholas.

Do 1t,

1t is stated that when Boadicea led
her army to battle she wore a mans
armor, but was always careful to leave
her golden hair floating over the steel
links that all men might know that she
was not only warrior but woman.
Queen Elizabeth, the most shrewd
and prudent sovereign of her day, when
she held important councils with am
bassadors from other countries, not
only, we are told, brought all her learn.

but "tricked herself in her most splen-

Victoria has laid deep the foundation
Of her empire over her subjects in their
affections. 1t is not the hereditary
queen. that they reverence so much as
the modest young girl, the faithful
wife, the good, kindly woman on the
throne.
The first lady in our own land has
endeared herself to the nation not as a
politician or social leader, but as a most
gracious gentlewoman.
has ever long Influenced the world as
ruler, writer, or even reformer who
threw aside her feminine weapons.
The charm Of womanly woman is
real power. Her gentleness, her dell
cacy, her modesty are real forces. The
girl who dresses like man, who swag-
gers, who talks loudly, discusses risque
books and smokes cigarettes is like a
soldier who has thrown away his weap-
ons before he goes into battle.
Her bicycle, for example, may be a
good, useful thing, but she will not
induce the public to approve of bicycles
for women by appearing on it as an
offensive caricature of man. She will
not win the world to her cause, how
ever just, by disgusting it with herself.

AWAY the weapons which God has given
them?-Youth's Companion.

Gladness Comes

M/ith a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle eefforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
.ased and gives most general satisfaction.

sad case in the village OF Laurium. A
Mrs, Lansguper Cor some such nance, who
lives at 415 Osceoa street, and whose
husband has deserted her, was, with the

one OF them got into bad company and
