Waste, Rest and Exercise.

William M. Evarts was a marvel Of
intellectual vitality to an advanced
age, and he used to explain it by say
ing that he slept late in the morning
and never took any exercise. There
is no advantage in getting up early in
the morning if you need the sleep.
Many a man is burning the candle at
both ends by getting up at an early
hour simply because his housekeeping
is adjusted to that programme. AS to
physical exercise, Mr.. Evarts had dis
covered for himself what our physiolo-
gists are now beginning to teach
namely, that if a man consumes tissue
in hard intellectual work the way to
repair the loss is by resting and not
by consuming more tissue in physical
exercise. To the majority of brain
workers Oxygenization Of the blood is
far more important than physical exer-
else, and there are two very good ways
to secure that: Sleep with your bed
room window wide open in summer
and winter, and, if you can afford it,
keep a horse and drive in the open air.

Guide Boards for Cross Roads.

Last fall the Good Roads committee
served notice on the various town boards
to put guide boards at all of the cross
roads. A few of them have done so but
the majority of our roads have none, says
the GAINESVILLE Gazette. The committee
have served a second notice on the chair
men of the several towns, and if sign or
guide boards are not up by July 1st, will
claim the reward, which is five dollars in
each case. The amount which will run
up to considerable will be used to main
tain bicycle paths between this and
other towns in Rock county. The move
is good one as nothing is more annoy
ing to go mile or so on the wrong road.
The state laws provide that any chair
man of town board who does not put
up guide boards after being notified,
shall pay a fine of five dollars, half of
which goes to the party making the
complaint and the other half to the
school fund.

GAINESVILLE.

The GAINESVILLE Machine company has
a number of men clearing out the wood
en- buildings at the corner of Pleasant
and South River streets, preparatory to
their removal, to make room for the
large warehouse to be erected on the
site in the near future.
Ogden Ell Fethers left Tuesday morn
ing for Michigan and from there he will
go to California on business connected
with Knights of Pythias Lodges. His
private office, which is devoted to the
work of his position as supreme chan
cellor of the Pythian lodges, will be clos
ed during his absence. Mr. Fethers ex
poets to be gone about six weeks.
VII Appleby is up in Forest county
experimenting the building of the club
house and the road leading to it for the
Kenosha club. The club is composed of
GAINESVILLE men and the house is located
twenty miles from the nearest railway
station. The woods abound with game
and it is an ideal spot for sportsmen.
Their property is located between two
fine lakes that are full of game fish and
are covered with ducks in the fall. Some
of the best deer country in the state is
in this vicinity and the members expect
to have fine sport the coming season.

Trouble With a TeIescOpe.

Continued observation with the tele-
scope Of the Yerkes observatory re-
vealed the unpleasant existence of a
number of curious streaks of light run
ming horizontally, whose appearance
had certainly never been noticed be-
fore and gave rise to redoubled I'M
easiness. And yet everything seemed
right with the glass viewed externally
and the most searching Investigation
could discover no cause.
At last in desperation the eyepiece
end was unscrewed, and Professor
Ellerman, the slimmest of the party,
was hidden to crawl, as he we'll could
do, along in the tube itself, and see if
he could discover aught amiss. He
crept along we'll enough, so wide is the
tube, till he got beyond the center,
when the telescope began to turn over
with his weight, and he would have
slid down on the top of the glass had
not the other end been promptly seized
and held fast. Then he continued his
journey, and in another moment had
discovered the unsupported author Of
the mischief, an Overindustrious spider
and her equally Woodworking progeny,
who had succeeded in filling up the
entire end of the tube with a mass Of
cobwebs in the hope of catching what
must have been wholly imaginary flies.
The webs and their spiders were care
fully removed, and from that day to
this the behavior of the Yerkes 40 inch
glass has been all that heart could de-
sire.-Good Words.
