PHYsIoLooIc TIDES.


Mankind should Ike More Heed of
the Need of Recreation.
The comparison or undu1ating
swing in the higher things in life to
the tidal movements of the ocean has
often been made in prose and poetry,
hut the highest development in all
things, whether mental or physical, is
attained through such change | vari-
alton; the sleeping hours are as neces-
sary the waking hours, rest as ex-
ercise, constructive 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 maa feels that there can
be no pause in work if he is to win
success, and it is the continuity of
strain that is killing him; the scholar
who studies night and day loses origin
a1ity and insight and finds himself be-
coming a bookworm and a pedant. It
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 of
pleasure-seekers, whose lives are
bighted by ennui and discomfort The
best work of our lives is not done with
the feverish, overwhelmed and bur-
dened mind which comes from contin-
uous, unvarying strain, whether phys
fcal 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 6OOdtfdeS of health and strength
for the real decisive efforts of life.

Deer Spreading Eastward.


The common red, Virginia deer
is exceedingly plentiful in many parts
OF New Brunswick, and a peculiar fact
concerning it is that it is largely
changing its habitat, so far as Canada
is concerned 1t has recently made it's
appearance in the GaSpe district where
hitherto it was unknown Upon the
north shore of the ST. Lawrence it was
only known until quite recently, to in
habit Western Canada and the Ottawa
district of the Province of Quebec
Within the last year or two it has
spread into the St Maurice territory
and thence into the country north of
Lake St John In the vicinity of One
bee specimens have lately been seen
swimming across the ST. Lawrence
from the south shore to the north
shore In the localities where it is most
abundant, namely, in the Ottawa and
Gaspe districts, in the Metapedia val
ley, north of Montreal the neighbor-
hood of Lake Megantic and the coun-
ties OF Beauce, LIslet and Kamour-

er had forgotten his troth or another
son his duty to his parents.
This went on for some time. and
Heldar became pathetic. A sort OF
apathy rested upon the people They
sang melancholy hymns at church,
they talked of the sorrows of life, and
above all they resigned themselves to
the inevitable
But it happened that Jeanette Vail
came to town She was the niece OF
the Hansons, who had lived there al
ways The town felt furry of some
thing akin to excitement at the advent
OF this glowing young beauty, the heir
eSS, as 1t was learned, to a goOdly
fortune The sight OF her on her
wheel, glancing along the streets, was
fnvigorating. and He1dar temporarily
forgot its depression A dance was get
up in her honor, and her gaiety and
charm seemed to bring fresh life to
the girls whose lovers never came
back and to the young men whom for
tune had stranded in the quiet spot.
The first time Jeanette had occa-
sion to go to the postohce there was
sensation AS usual, one of the wild
eyed cats was looking out of the win
dow.
Dear me. postmistress.' cried Jean
nette. with gOod-natured condescen-
sion, lis that your cat?"
The cat blinked g1oomiIy, and the
pOstmistress did not answer, but as
she appeared at the window another
cat was visible on her shoulder.
You must be fond of CATS said the
girl pleasantly The group in the
postohce held their breath 1t was
unheard of for the dour Patsy to be
addressed in this fashion
tHave you any mail for Miss Vail
Jeanette Vail?''
The postmistress shook her head.
But you haven't looked. How can
you know?''
With flash OF anger from her little
eyes Patsy looked, but returned with
a mute denial.
Its strange said Miss Vail, doubt
fully 81 hope you have made quite
sure What Miss Patsy did to cause
the cat on her shoulder to arch its
back and spit at the girl outside the
window it would be difficult to i'm

next day she was at the postofdce

Foe the last i've years of his life
colonel Null had been assisted in his
duties as postmaster by his daughter
Fatsys 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

was tac1turn 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
nave been largely because they were
Kept forever in twilight The build

owned by Patsy. and only the front
part OF 1t was, literally speaking, fed

been their home before a postoffice

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 confded
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 inhospttabIe,

The Kennebec (Maine) Journal says:
It is said to be q fact that not one-haIf
of the factories in the state of Maine
are paying running expenses. They
are SO thick1y settled now that they
are competing among themselves for
the purchase of the cream and in con-
sequence there is constant fight to
see who will pay the larger price for
the cream. Then at the sale they are
competing with one another on the
price to see who will sell the cheapest.
Thus at both ends of the trade are
they cutting off their heads. It is seen
that in the concerns that are running
on the cooperative plan, where the
farmers have what is made after pay
ing the expenses Of the factory, that
they are receiving no more than the
ones where the farmers sell for a price
outright 1t will average about the
same in both cases when taken for the
year round.
