The Duty Of Rest

OF all the tired men and women l
know, the one who appeals to me
most is public school teacher. Forty
five eager, active, growing minds to
guide and control all winter, to satisfy
and stimulate! Not many tasks have
equaled it. was condoling with one
the other day, when she said she
wished the world would understand
better the duty of rest.
The duty of rest
l confess that the idea was new to
me. l had thought of rest as pleas
ure and as a privilege; had regard
ed it as necessity; and had even
at times looked upon it as a tempa-
ton when obligations drew me one
way and fatigue dragged me down in
another.
But rest as duty opened quite
another point OF view.
1t must have been meant as duty,
though, originally, else one day in
seven would never have been com.
manded
But the sway" of its being duty
we have been left to discover for our
selves. 1t was Bishop Brooks who
first made me see that recreation
might mean recreation. l had little
of the Puritanc idea, which he helped
to dispel. l recognized, too, as he
spoke, that the universe was full of
great inspirational and renewing
forces, which were always playing in
on us, as the air is breathed into our
lungs before we are able to make
conscious effort. Be receptive, and
they fill us.
Our duty, then, suppose, is toward
these forces; to rest from our human
activities until they play in on US, and
SO rebuild us. For most of us, after
all, are SO eager in the pursuit of one
idea-an idea sometimes of pleasure,
sometimes of gain-that we detach
ourselves, as it were, from the main
purpose of ourlives, like wheel of a
coach that breaks away from the main
body, and goes off merrily on its own
account down hill to find itself at the
end of its journey without power and
without place.-Harpv'S BaSO.

Poor Io Behind the Plow.

William Shakespeare, an Arapahoe
Indian on the lower Shoshone agency,
reports to the Indian guide Of Fort
Washable that the Indians on the sub
agency are working on their farms
more industriously this year than ever
before. They are breaking up large
amount Of new land, and where last
year the sage brush was thick there
are now good farms. He says: THE
old Indians used to talk Of going to
war, and now they talk different; they
tell us about farming, and how to farm.
and they tell us young men to work
hard at farming. l have In about
twelve acres of wheat, five of oats,
one OF potatoes, and big garden OF
water melons, squash and other vege-
tables. have twenty-five acres this
year instead OF ten last, and all the
other Indians are the same way, plow-
ing much more land this year, than
last."-Lander, WyO., Letter to Den

The Yellow river, which has been
named the sorrow Of China" Is pro-
badly the most destructive stream on
the face OF the earth. In less than a
hundred years 1t has changed Its chan
mel four times, and the point where 1t
empties into the sea has, from time to
fine. been moved up and down the
coast distance of 300 miles. 1t runs
through vast alluvlal plain, and is
fed by streams from great system OF
mountains In the north. When the
snow melting on this range comes at a
time of heavy rains the result is sure

mated that In the past three centuries
over 100000 of human beings have
perlshed In the floods OF the Yellow
river. Fer destructiveness, both OF
life and property, this stream Is un-
uaralleled and the sobrlquet bestowed
upon it is amply justified by its his
