The Tired Foot.

A lady was watching a potter at his
work whose one foot was kept with
never slackening speed turning his
swift wheel round" while the other
rested patiently on the ground. When
the lady said to him in sympathizing
tone, How tired your foot must be!'
the man raised his eyes and said: 'No,
na'am; it isn't the foot that works
that's tired. It's the foot that stands.
That's it,
If you want to keep your strength,
use it. If you want to get tired, do
nothing AS matter Of fact, we all
know that the last man to give help
ing hand to any new undertaking is
the man who has plenty Of time on his
hands. 1t is the man and woman who
are doing the most who are always
willing to do a little more" ."-Philadel-
Dhia Ledger.

a GOOD PRESCRIPTION.
Laughter as a Stomach Cure and an

Aid to Health.
Worry is but one Of the many forms
Of fear, so that worry tends to the
production of indigestion. Indigestion
tends to put the body Of the subject il
a condition that favors worry. There
is thus established a vicious circle
which tends to perpetuate itself, each
element augmenting the other.
1t is necessary to secure cheerful.
wholesome atmosphere for the dys-
peptic. He should eat his meals at
table where there is good fellowship
and where funny stories are told. He
should himself make great effort to
contribute his share of this at the table,
even if it be necessary, as it was in one
case under my care, for him to solemn
ly and seriously collect funny para
graphs from the press, and at first in
terject them spasmodically during lulls
in the conversation at the table. The
very efforts and determination of the
mar to correct his own silent habits at
table, to correct his feelings OF dis
couragement and worry, were in them.
selves promise of success. The ef-
fort made was adequate to the obsta-
cles to be overcome He succeeded. and
the spectacle Of that man trying to
be funny at table when he felt thor
oughly discouraged and blue is one we
shall never forget.
Laughing is in itself also a useful
exercise from the standpoint Of diges-
ton. 1t stirs up all the abdominal
organs, it increases the circulation OF
the blood, it increases peristalsis. it in
creases the secretion Of gastric juices.
Five minutes deliberate laughing after
each meal would be an excellent pre-

A Sa9e AGE.

his age. His reply was, "Ninety-four."
"Why, my good man, we cannot in
