PHYSIOLOGIC TIDES.

Mankind Should Take Moro Heed of
tho Need of Recreation.
The comparison OF an undulating
swing in the higher things in life to
the tidal movements of the ocean has
often been made in prose and poetry,
but the highest development in all
things, whether mental or physical, is
attained through such change and vari-
alton; the sleeping hours are as neces-
sary as the waking hours, rest as ex-
ercise, constructive as destructive me-
tabolism, says the Medical Record. 1t
would be well if this truth were more
generally and thoroughly appreciated.
What is it that is causing the nervous
breakdowns among our business men,
society women and students? Does not
every one in this rushing modern life
feel that there is more put upon him
than he can possibly do; more work
and play and engagements and cares?
Yet the trouble in most cases is not
that people are overworked, but that
they work against physiologic law.
The business man feels that there can
be no pause in work if he is to win
success. and it is the continuity of
oliaih tHaI Is hilllHS Hlil; lHe ScnOldr
who studies night and day loses origin
altty and insight and finds himself be-
coming bookworm and a pedant. 1t
is the old story of ''All work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy" which
might well be reversed to fit the suf-
fering from nervous exhaustion os
pleasure-seekers, whose lives are
blighted by ennui and discomfort. The
best work of our lives is not done with
the feverish, overwhelmed and bur-
dened mind which comes from contfar
uous, unvarying strain, whether phys
ical or mental, whether from business
or pleasure. We all need the ebb-
tides of recreation, relaxation and quiet
thought in order that there may follow
the floodtides of health and strength
for the real decisive efforts of life.

says the Philadelphia Post The work

DIR. Wilson at work nearly all through
the winter. His labors were almost at
an end when a fire broke out endan-
gering his most precious goods. DR..
Wilson called one of his assistants
Go out and get all the wagons you
can, and get them quickly" he said.
The assistant lost no time in making
his way to the nearest gate. But in
few minutes he came back despond-
ent. ITS no use, he said I'VE can't

may plunder exhibits, and the guards
will let no one enter the grounds. What
can We do?" Dol" exclaimed Dr.

We must and will have them. Go back

guards like battery going into action,
stopping only when the agricultural
building was reached. The goods that
DR.. Wilson was anxious to save were
among the thirty carloads of exhibits
shipped to Philadelphia three weeks
later, and some of them may be seen
at the Commercial museum today.

AT PATSY MULL'S.

For the last five yeocs Of his life
Colonel Null had been assisted in his
duties as postmaster by his daughter
Patsy, and when he died it seemed
only right and proper, considering his
historic services to his country. that
his daughter should be made the in
cumbent of the office from which
death had taken him
Patsy was not popular but she was
an institution. 1t seemed almost as
much a part of ones patriotic duty
TO pelleve in Patsy as to believe in the
constitution of the United States. She
was taciturn woman, who kept to
herself and her cats. Of which there
were so many that it would lay one
open to the suspicion of inaccuracy to
mention the number. They were wild
eyed cats who regarded humanity in
general with the same suspicion which
their mistress showed. But that may
have been largely because they were
Kept forever in twilight. The build
ing used as a postoffice at Heldar was
owned by Patsy, and only the front
part of it was. literally speaking, fed
eral property. The rear of the struc-
ture had long been used by the Mulls
for family residence-in fact, it had
been their home before a postoffice
was mentioned for Heldar. The upper
story had fallen into desuetude, but
in three rooms on the ground floor
Miss Patsy had her being. These
rooms never were visited by the sun
shine, for not only had they a dismal
northern exposure, but the gloom in
creased by drawn blinds. Miss Patsy
kept her house mum. 1t confided
nothing to the curious. Her front door
was the door of the postoffice, and be-
hind the glass pigeon holes no one was
ever permitted to set foot. Her rear
door was almost equally inhospitable,
and its mistress seldom emerged from
it save to empty the ash pan, and then
she locked the door behind her while
she went on that errand.
They were easy-going folks at Hell
dar. What was, was right, had long
been sort of unconscious proverb
with them. Perhaps they had got into
this philosophic way of looking at
things because, as a community, they
had suffered a good many disappoint-
ments.
1t sometimes seemed as if the town
