Warnings of Mental Fatigue.

Edward Thorndike says that mental
work is not simple matter of mental
energy or quantity of positive or in
hibitory nervous discharges, but of
their direction as well. Mental fatigue
is not 2 physical ia e and re-
CURES different treatment. It's warning
signs are more complicated, less efica-
cious, and therefore more often neg
lected. The warnings that we do have
are not measures of the degree of in
ability, but indefinite and at present
Misunderstood signs of danger The
degree of mental inability does not
vary proportionately to the amount
of work done without sufficient rest
but increases much less quickly up to
certain amount of mental work, and
then may increase much faster, so that
one straw of mental work may then
break the cancels back.

He Put Out the Fire on Her Hat
A curious accident took place In the
Casino at Monte Carlo. A friend OF
mine was standing in the Atrium a
few nights since, when she heard a
scuiiie and turning around was sur
prised to see gentleman quietly but
forcibly pressing his square-topped
felt hat dow n over the head of lady
standing beside him. Struck by the
extraordinary action, my friend ap-
preached nearer and then she saw
smoke issuing from under the hat. 1t
appears that the lady in question had
been standing near the naked gas
lights, which hang unprotected for the
convenience of smokers, and her tulle
toque caught fire. If 1t had not been
for the prompt though unconvention-
al, action OF the gentleman who ex-
temporized an extinguisher, she might
have suffered considerably more than
she did.-Paris Messenger.

CRY OF THE BROKEN HEARTED.

When the day of battle is ended,
And the cruel suspense is past.
When the hours of anguished wait ing
Are over, for all, at last,
Then those who are united
Will offer their praise to God
But the lad have waited and longed
for
Lies voiceless under the sod.
There are many who climbed the hillside
When they sTormed the enemy's post;
There were many who stood, uu-
wouhded,
For the triumph of Briton's host.
There were many who stood, un-
wounded,
Unframed at the set of the sun
But the lad [ have waited and longed
for,
His day of battle was done.
Ere long-by many fire5ide
They will tell of that gallant fight.
They will praise those warrior heroes,
The power of Britain's might.
They will speak-with awestruck voices,
OF the their comrades among the
Slain
But the lad have waited and longer
for
Will speak to me never again.
You are dead for your queen and your
country!
You are dead in your honor and pride!
You are dead that your brother soldiers
May rise with the triumph tide!
You have paid the price of their glory,
As soldier would wish to do
Ay! but my lad that I've longed for
My hearts just breaking for you!
