Wearing Out the Nerves,

Many people wear themselves out
needless!y. Their conscience is a ty-
rant. An exaggerated sense of duty,
says the London Doctor. leads many a
person to anxious. ceaseless activity,
to be constantly doing something. over
punctual, never idle Il second Of time.
ScOrn TO rest. Such are in unconscious
nerve tension. They say they have no
time to rest. they have so much TO Go.
not thinking they are rapidly uniting
themselves for probably what would
have been their best and greatest work
In after years. Self control Of nerve
force is the great lesson of health. and
therefore of life itself. To understand
how to relax is to understand how TO
strengthen nerves. Hearty laughter is
a source of relaxation. as are also all
high thoughts. as those of hope, beau
ty, trust or love. Relaxation is found
in diversion.

Oil From the POrpolse.

The porpoises killed in winter are
the latest and produce most oil. The
largest size measure about I feet in
length. feet in girth and weigh about
300 pounds. Such a porpoise yields
from six to seven gallons of oil. The
blubber Of big porpoise weighs about
100 pounds and is one and half inches
thick in summer and two in winter.
The jaws Of the porpoise yield SUI
perior quality of oil. When hung up
IN the sun. ii readily drips away into
cans provided for the purpose. the
quantity Of oil thus procured. how
ever. being not more than half pint
to the jaw. The oil from the b.ubber
gives an excellent light and is in de
mand along the coast for lighthouse
use. 1t has no offensive odOr.
Porpoise shooting Is followed at all
seasons and in all kinds of weather.
On calm summers day the porpose
may be heard blowing mile or two
away. If you wound porpoise and
there are any sharks around. the shark
is very apt to share your booty with
you even If he doesn't devour it IN toto.

Habitual gamblers are perhaps the
most superstitious persons in the world.
They invariably carry little portable
mascots in their pockets. and it would
be impossible to persuade them TO en-
Ter into game of chance if, by some
inady ,rtence, their mascots were not
with them. Lumps OF lead. coins,
snake rattles. locks of hair, cauls, bits
Of bone, hairpins-a pile Of these things
would be shown If the players in any
stiff poker game were required TO re
veal their mascots.
And each amulet has story con-
nected with it. A bullet. for instance,
which one man carries was extracted
from the brain of a woman who killed
herself on his account. \ gold hairpin

a ladys hair in a theater aisle. He
picked it up and returned it, and the

it deemed that in the reign Of Tiberius
law was passed forbidding it to all

200 years later for a man to wear silk

What the Barber Pole Represents.

The BARRIERS of long ago were barber
surgeons, but the rapid advance of sur
gical science has caused them to fall
from their high estate. The gilt knob
at the end of the barber pole of today
represents a brass basin. which but a
few decades since was actually SITS
pended from the pole. The basin had
a notch cut in it to fit the throat and
was used in lathering the customer
preparatory TO shaving him. The pole
represents the staff held by the patient
who came TO the barber surgeon TO be
bled. The two spiral stripes painted
around it signify two banda es. one
for twisting around the arm previous
TO the act Of pLleHotOmy, or Lioou let
ting, the other for binding when the
operation was completed.

WELL BROKEN HORSES.
The SiiUut Man Generally Has the
Most Manageable Animals.

Has any one ever noticed that ST.
lent man has usually the best broken
horses? 1t may not he true. but all the
men of NY acquaintance wh) do not
talk much have well broken horses.
Drive with them. and you will wonder
how they manage their horses. No
mana cement is visible. The h rse goes
where he is wanted without apparent
effort on the part Of the driver. One
famous turfman at least has been not
ed FIR his art in driving horse TO the
limit of his speed without making a
move while his rivals were lifting AMI
yelling and whipping theirs. How did
be do it? Don't know, but be was Il
man of few words.
Probably there is a lesson in this.
The average horse understands only a
few things thoroughly. only Il few
words. signs or commands. The silent
man gives only a few, and he does not
confuse his horse The horse is made
to know them thoroughly. He under
stands the man who understands him.
1t is a pleasure to drive horse that
understands. Few pleasures in life can
equal it if the horse is a good. cheer

this kind If they were made to know a
