The first necessity of athletics is a
sound stomach. Food is the source of
all physical strength, but to extract and
assimilate the strength from food requires
that the stomach and other organs of
digestion and nutrition should be in a

of the athlete is true of every man and
woman; physical health and vigor de-
pend upon the digestion and assimila-

One Of the Sins That Destroy the
Comfort of Home.


There is one exceedingly disagree
able habit into which some people fall
without seeming to notice it. This is
nagging. They cannot say what they
have to say and then let it alone, but
keep pecking and peeking at it on
every occasion, and if occasions do not
arise naturally they make them. In
this nagging sarcasm or irony bears a
leading part. A thing may be said once
or twice as a pleasant raillery in a gen
ial humor, but when repeated over and
over it ceases to be fun. 1t then cuts
Sarcasm is a two edged tool; it cuts
and wounds the one at whom it is aim
ed and it initiates and roughens the
one who uses it. 1t is a dangerous
tool for one to use who wishes to be
either kind or just. 1t comes easily to
the lips, and the intellect takes a GER
tain kind of delight in aptness, ingenu-
ity or sharpness. Its use grows on one;
at least the habit becomes so habitual
that it is used unconsciously. Howev-
er good naturally one seems to take it,
there is a wound that hurts. Struggle
against it as one will. there will often
be an impression carried that some
part of it is meant in earnest.
Too often do all of us wound the
feelings Of others by carelessness in
speech. We cannot too carefully guard
ourselves against the nagging habit.

positions. Let us endeavOr ever to
make our speech kindly even when
obliged to find fault "A blow with a
word strikes deeper than a blow with
sword" We shall never err By
speaking too kindly. These naggers are
often kind at heart and would not will
ingly wound another They have form
ed the habit unconsciously and are not
aware of how frequently they indulge
in that kind Of talk. 1t does not occur
70 them that any one may take a fur
Their meaning than they have meant
or that any part of it will be taken Sc
riously 1t is unavoidable, however,
that this is so.
The nagging habit is the real reason
why some women find it difficult to re
tain servants. 1t is for the sharpness:
of their tongues that some really ex
cellent people are avoided and disliket
in society. People dread the tongue
lashings that slip so easily from tn,
lips and without real malice, but they
1 nevertheless cut deep. Let us put {
guard on ourselves and see that thii
: habit Of sarcastic speech and naggin;
is not ours The Chinese have a say

WHY THEY DIED FROM THE TOP.
A reader who says that he has lost
as many as 300 apple trees wishes to
know why these trees have invariably
died from the top down, followed by a
bunch Of suckers springing from their
roots. We find that there are several
causes for the death of apple trees
borers, sun scald. drought, extremes
Of temperature. both heat and cold.
Among these the first named-the Dor
er-is probably the cause of the death
Of more apple trees than any Of the
others or all Of them put together. The
tree with the worm at the root viii
usually commence to die from the top,
as it will also IN the case Of blight and
sun scald. The suckers referred to
spring from the root graft as a gener-
al thing. the roots not being injured
by the blight. the borer or the extremes
Of temperature. When a man sets out
an apple tree. If he would place a
strip Of common wire mosquito netting
around the trunk Of the tree and leave
it on winter and summer or as long as
it will last. which is about five years

than in any other way. This. coupled
with thorough cultivation for five year.
