CULTIVATION OF PoIsE.
How the Health May he 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 when walk
ing with your friends, and find no
pleasure in strolling leisurely? 1t 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 perfect balance OF ef-
fort to the requirement of the mo-
ment.
The next time yon go out for pleas
urc 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 unnecessary tension of the mind;
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 a state of the normal mind
but il affects the deeper being and
molds the state of the subliminal mind
whence it is ever seeking expression
The first effect is an unnatural ant
usually an unconscious tension OF TIT
muscles, which prompts to irritational
nervous and unnecessary movements
Action. when il comes, is overcharget
| with effort, and there is no nice and cx
| act adjustment of the same which
makes perfect expression. This ten
sion becomes fixed habit, ike
idea- of the subliminal self. 1t ex
hausts the energies, and vital deple
ton is the result.
Practice relaxation at particula
times, but do not neglect to extern
poise into all action. This mistak
is often made; one sets apart hall
hour for meditation or relaxation, an
takes no thought for the remainin
waking hours.
| Grace is only another term for thi
poise, this perfect adjustment OF pow
err to the desired end; no more nor les
than enough-the perfect economy {
vital expression. This is not only tn
basis of grace, but is essential to pei
feet health and serenity.
Adjust yourself to this law OF e
preston. Use only enough power
accomplish the end. When the though
or act is finished let it be a finality; d
not hold the effort continually. Di
miss it and repose in its sufficiency.

SOME WONDERFUL CROPS IN
WESTERN CANADA.



Regina, Assineboia. Canada, January
i0th.-At the Agricultural Statistics
Branch of the Department of Agricul-
ture for the Territories, reports are
now being received from grain thresh-
ers throughout the Territories, for
statistical purposes. The reports are
somewhat delayed this year, owing to
the extensive crop and the delay IN
getting it threshed. The Department
of Agriculture is leading the way in
new departure, with regard to the
collection of crop statistics. In the
older provinces, crop estimates are
based entirely on the opinion OF per-
sons interested in the grain business
who ought to be, and no doubt are,
we'll posted upon the probable yields.
Still the reports are simply matter
Of opinion, in which a mistake may
easily be made. The Territorial De-
partment, however, has adopted the
system of returns of crops actually
threshed, upon which to base their
reports. The accuracy of the reports
cannot, therefore, be gainsaid, for
they represent compilation OF actual
threshing results. In this connection,
Il might be mentioned that the De-
partment is organizing system OF
growing crop returns, which will be IN
operation next summer. The infor.
nation thus obtained, with estimated
acreage, will be available for business
men, banks, railway companies, and

NOT GIANTS TEETH.
NEastedon Molars That Are Supposed

The molar teeth of the extinct mas

Farmers sheuld Made . scrap Book
Of Valuable Items From FhelR
Farn Papers.

Farmers who take farm papers find
it quite difficult to keep them on file
for future reference. Every member
of the family must read the paper,
and by the time it has passed all
hands it is hardly st 20 lend 10 a
neighbor who can't afford to take a
paper. But shall the many useful
facts contained in fifty-ssvo numbers
of the paper be merely laid away on
the dusty shelves of memory to be
soon covered with the cobwebs of
forgetfuIness? The remedy for this
is good scrap-book, in which should
be pasted every article long or short,
that is worth preserving. Every use
full table, every valuable recipe. every
statement of a valuable fact that
might otherwise be forgotten. For
this purpose plain blank book can
be purchased for Is cents that will
answer the purpose perfectly. 1t
should not be smaller than 10x14
inches, as many of the best farm pa
pers are that size, and columns, or
entire pages clipped will fit in q
book of that size. If the book be-
comes too full, as it will if there are
many pages in it, simply cut the COW
ers loose at the hinge and paste to-
gether again with a strip of strong
cloth so as to make the desided thick
ness. For ten or IS cents, one can
have an additional 100 pages of blank
paper cut to double size and folded
in the middle, and these may be i'm
serted in the scrap-book by simply
passing a strong cord along the fold
and making both ends fast to the
backs. All clippings relating to farm
ing should be placed in one part Of
the book; those relating to live
stock in another part, and these may
be sub-divided into cattle, horses,
sheep, goats, hogs, fowls. etc. In an
other part put all clippings of-inter.
est about fruits and vegetables. All
1.-THE different crops, may for convent
ence of reference, have a separate
space in the book. There should be
a few pages set apart for useful ia
bles; and another for formulas and
recipes. As the scrap book grows, al
index may be made and when thu
book is full another should be Sc
! cured and filled. In this way all thu
most valuable information found II
