CULTIVATION OF POISE.
How the Health May Be Helped by
Constant Attention to Proper
Carriage of the Body.

Do you want to run upstairs or up
hill because lit makes you tired to
walk slowly?" If so, it is because you
do not balance your effort with the
need. Do you race ahead " hen walk
ing with your friends, and find no
pleasure in strolling leisul ely? It is
because you lack repose. Are you IT.
ritable and nervous, and feel impelled
to continual, even irrational, action?
1t is because you do not relax. Does
effort, work or pleasure, exhaust you
readily? 1t may be because you have
no reserve force, on account Of the
continual strain you cultivate.
The remedy for all this, in the opin-
ion of Joseph Stewart, IL. NJ, in Re
alization, is repose and the cultivation
of poise in all you do. Repose and re-
taxation as understood here, do not
mean quiescence during merely some
particular half-hour, but between
every individual effort that has no
necessary connection with another.
Poise means n perfect balance of eff
fort to the requirement of the mo-
ment.
The next time yon go out for pleas
ure walk, take each step as though
your pleasure were summed up in that
| one; when ready for the next step call
into requisition just enough powers to
accomplish it. Walk for half an hour
and note how restful it is.
This habitual lack of poise comes
from, IF III a
from keeping the consciousness on the
alert when there is no call for it. The
result is that the habit is not only
fostered as state of the normal mind
but it affects the deeper being and
molds the state Of the subliminal mind.
whence it is ever seeking expression.
The first effect is an unnatural and
muscles, which prompts to irritational,
nervous and UNNECESSARY movements.
Action, when it cd mes, is overcharged
| with effort, and there is no nice and ex-
act adjustment of the same which
| makes perfect expression. This ten
sion becomes a fixed habit, fixed
idea" of the subliminal self. 1t ex-
hausts the energies, and vital deple-
ton is the result.
Practice relaxation at particular
times, but do not neglect to extend
| poise into all action. This mistake
is often made; one sets apart half
hour for meditation or relaxation, and
takes no thought for the remaining
| waking hours.
Grace is only another term for this
poise, this perfect adjustment of pow
er to the desired end; no more nor less
than enough-the perfect economy Of
vital expression. This is not only the
basis Of grace, but is essential to per-
feet health and serenity.
Adjust yourself to this law Of ex-
preston. Use only enough power to
accomplish the end. When the thought
| OF act is finished let it be fnality; do
| not hold the effort continually. Dis
miss it and repose in it's sufficiency.

Nnst0dOn MOlar% That Are Supposed

The molar teeth of the extinct mas

those of human beings, and it happens
quite frequently whenever such teeth
are found by those who are ignorant
of palacontology that such people
jump to the conclusion that they are
the molars of a race of prehistoric
giants. Country people, who are we'll
grounded in the Scriptures, are ever
prone to reasoning of this character,
for no matter how far-fetched and alb
surd their conclusions may be in such
matters, they would rather base their
conclusions in a case of this sort on
the book of Genesis than upon the So
Der and substantial findings of mod

Post.
Thus it happens that every now and

Does Poultry PAY?

The above is a very common ques-
tion. We answer by saying it does
pay and it can pay, but it does not
always pay. On the farm it gener-
ally does pay, though the farmer does
not keep account of what his fowls
are bringing in. There are two rea-
sons why poultry on farms generally
pay. One of them is that the fowls
are kept in relatively small numbers.
from SO to 200 in a flock Another
reason is that the food given the fowls
represents very largely gleanings from
the fields, orchards and barns. Mate
rial that would most certainly go to
waste, goes to make up the bulk of the
feed the fowls receive. The question
becomes one of importance when ap-
piled to large operations independent
of the farm. Then the answer must
depend on a good many things The
first of these is the experience of the
poultryman- When novices with mon
ey go into poultry raising they do not
generally make it pay. 1t is not q
dead sure thing, and novices with
money can succeed only with dead
sure things The novice with money
and no experience, if he goes into the
poultry business, generally comes out
of it with good lot of experience and
no money.-Farmers' Review

Will Permanganate of Potash Keep
Eggs?


In $50 cubic centimeters (about one

of the previous tests we're washed with
water, and then allowed to remain
Immersed for one hour in the dilute
solution of permanganate of potash.
This liquid has a beautiful light pur-
plish tint, and gives the surface of the
shells a coffee brown color. After
carefully drying the eggs were packed,
small ends down, and not in contact
in fine dry sand, and the jar stored
in the cellar closet. Result: Good,
0 per cent; bad, 100 per cent This
lot examined April 4, 1900, showed
enlarged air cells, some of which were
mouldy within. Six of these eggs
were rotten; fourteen were clearer
than the others, but had watery
whites, gummy yoIks, and musty fla
vor. The brown color of the shell,
caused by the permanganate of pot
ash, is readily removed by a bath OF

mended, proved, in this long period OF
