Peace of Mind and Good Digestion.

Peace of mind is one of the great
factors of healthy nutrition. Soon af-
ter introduction of food into the stom-
ach, blood current is diverted to the
stomach, but if the peace of mind is
not enjoined and thoughtfulness pre-
walls, the blood current flows toward
the brain in augmented quantities;
consequently the stomach is cut off
from the proper supply of blood and
the food is not digested, and a bad
form of indigestion results. Similarly
in other cases where the brain is not
allowed to rest, no proper nutrition
of the body becomes possible. The
peace of mind can ~variously be OBJ
tained either by directing patients to
pleasing sceneries or amusements, or
to light reading, especially stories, ro-
mances, poems, and travels, to divert
his mind. Music, again, is another
potent agent to calm the agitated
mind. Especially in diseases where
she entire system is subject to much
.train and distress, cultivation of mind
forms an essential item of treatment.
This can be effected by allowing the
patients healthy and innocent amuse-
ments, and talks and conversation
with amiable but refined and learned
friends. Coercive friends are worse
than hated enemies in disease. The
patient must be kept cheered and
amused, his mind so directed away
from thinking of his illness, and these
can be effected by allowing him read
ing of histories, f%ictions, travels, and
voyages, and biographies of great
men; but war reports or exploits
should not be allowed, as these have
some stimulating action, and do more
harm than good by exciting the brain,
and unrest the conditions of the pa
tient.

QUEER SIGHT.
How the Man Who Was Buying Shoes
Was Deceived.

Was Deceived.
She was a nice-lOOking little woman
at the shoe shop, and the man noticed
her at first as she sat a little way from
him when he went in to buy a pair of
shoes, because she was on the side of
the shop supposed to be devoted en-
tirely to masculine foot covering, says
the New York Times. Then, as the
man glanced in her direction a second
time, he saw something that made him
rub his eyes and look again. The wo-
nan was sitting on a line with him,
but some distance away, and-he
couldn't be deceived after the second
glance-she was gayly swinging a neat
little foot, covered with a black stock
ing, the latter and its w%ell-rounded
contents being visible up to the knee
swinging forward and back in a live
ly fashion. The man looked at the
woman again. She was a demure, lady
~like-looking little creature and the
vivacity which animated that foot
seemed foreign to her general p
ance, but one must believe ones eyes.
The man was fascinated. He quite for
got that he had gone into the shop on
his own account. The shopman came
to bring the vivacious customer her
shoes. The man at the other end of
the room was watching with absorbed
interest, Now" said the obsequious
salesman, "if you will please stand"
And there arose-not the woman, but a
small boy who had been sitting on the
other side of her. Then the man
bought his own shoes and went out.

Poor Man.

For years, says the Atchison Globe
an Atchison woman has begged her
husband to allow her to take a cottage
at the seashore, and he has refused,
much to his %neighbors' indignation.
This year he has consented, and, to his
surprise, the neighbors are abusing
him more than aver. They say that he
wants her to 60 to the seashore so that
she may be blown up by a Spanish
WarShip.

His mouth hung open and his small
bloodshot eyes were fixed on vacancy.
I tried to catch his eye and smile en-
couragingly, but it was in vain; for he
seemed blind and deaf to all earthly
things. When the ceremony began and
he repeated 81, Mr.. jeremiah TAYLOR.
AXE this Miss Sally Williams" after
the minister, who was so elegant and
impressive that he quite overawed me,
Jerry's voice sounded hoarse with de-
spair.
After they had been pronounced man
and wife, and Jerry, after a great deal
OF hesitation, had saluted his bride. a
few of the sisters rushed up and kissed
the bride and groom and groomsman
and bridemaid, and we shook hands
with them. But the rest of the con-
gregation eyed them from afar. as if
they had been a party of lepers, and
their expressions of tense rightly new
or relaxed.
And then we sat down kgain
and n of the brothers politely and
kindly handed US cake and wine. No
in the church was forgotten or
neglected. The smallest little African
there had a hunk of cake, and l could
not but compare the perfect order that
reigned with the confusion l have seer
In some fashionable churches, where
ladies stood on benches and jostled and
pushed each other, apparently forgetful
that they were in the house Of God.
The bridal party refused all refresh
ments with an air of frigid gentility,
and as they sat bolt upright on the
hard bench facing the congregation it
was not easy to realize that they ever
had been, or ever would be again, hap
py, careless, negroes, working in the
cotton and corn, on terms of intimacy
with their fellow-beings. After all
the cake and wine had been served the
singers sang another hymn commenc-
ing with a chant and ending with a
wild refrain, in which they Joined with
swaying bodies and dark flashing eyes.
And as it's measures died away on
the spring night we turned our faces
homeward, leaving Jerry with the look
of awful d%esolation still imprinted on
his miserable black face by the side
of his dusky bride, who sat with nose
high In air. 1t was a relief to my
feelings when he came in next morn

FARMING AS A PROFESSION.

There is no interest involving SO
much, no business of such magnitude
and no profession of such importance
that has been SO neglected as that of
the farmer. Agriculture is one of the
most vitality important occupations Of
the day, but for some strange reason
has until recently been thrust aside
and it's best development has been re-
tarded by the apathy of scientists and
investigators who have not realized
that upon the product of the soil the
prosperity of the country depends.
Of late this subject has been receiv-
ing much more attention, and it Is to
be hoped that in future it will assume
sciences. When the farming commun-
ity prospers the whole country does
well. Good prices for wheat, corn and
cattle mean a free circulation of money
and plenty of business for merchant
and mechanic alike. When the farm
er gets nothing for his crops, the coun-
try s%torekeeper finds hard lines in his
puSllcoS. All lhuuStIlSS ldHSulSn, IOr
at the fountain head there is no supply.
1t is one of the fundamental rules OF
existence that the earth must bring
forth her increase. When natural law
is ignored or violated, the consequence
es cannot but be disastrous. Men
build factories, establish warehouses.
conduct stores and follow professions
to obtain the necessary food to sustain
life. A large portion of this food must
come from the hands of the farmer and
to him the whole world looks for an
abundant supply.
Farming has never received the at
tention from education that it deserves.
1t is not too much to expect that when
science and art have completed some
of the studies which they have begun,
this most important branch of human
affairs will rise to the dignity of a
learned profession, and that the farm
er will as a natural consequence be-
come one of the most important and
highly educated members of the in
dustrial army.

them would give tree education 10
two or more Cubans If the right
sort ofmen could be found to secure
a college course in this country.
Mr.. Harroun has written over 800
college presidents in the United

and advance General Wheeler's
plan. over a hundred replies are

come prepared as to character, and
make them benfciaries as TO free
