The Day After.

1t is a strange omission that the
day after, supreme and epoch making
period of time, should have failed to
receive the homage which is its just
prerOgative.
De Quincy, in his powerful bit of
word painting entitled THE Knocking
at the Gate" dwells on the thought
that in Macbeth" the climax of the
tragedy, the moment most truly
fraught with terror, is not the one in
which occurs the murder of Duncan,
or when the guilty pair nerve them
selves for its accomplishment, but the
moment when the first knocking at the
gate is heard With that summons
from without comes an instant and
terrible realization of what has taken
place. In that moment of horror is
condensed all the meaning Of past
crime and future retribution as in n
lightning fash.
The magnitude of what has happened
cannot be measured until the first
touch of reaction has been felt. We
cannot tell what has really occurred
till the day after.-Atlantic.

THE NEGLECT OF HEALTH.

After all that is claimed for heredity and envi-
ronment Is granted, it is still generally admitted
that u man pretty largely makes himself morally.
And it can be as truly said that he also makes HIM
self physically
Scientists and philosophers coming to the
conclusion that no man has Il good right to be an
invalid Most illness is self-inhicted
Could we all cease to be slaves to appetites and
passions and were we to give half the care to the
needs of our minds and bodies that give to
money making and money spending, most of the ig-
norance, immortality and invalldism would dsap-
pear from the world altogether.
A few years ago Henry w. Vein burg of Hart
ford, Conn, was bed-ridden cripple, well ad-
vanced toward hopeless invalidism, brought on by
overlooking and other thoughtless indulgencies.
He was induced by an enthusiastic y. NJ. c. a.
gvmnast to undertake fight for has life and health
employing only the resources that lay within his
own mind and body. In a few days he could move
his Joints without aid; in four months he could
walk in year his health almost perfect. He
faithfully continued this of himself and in two
years after he had begun it he entered New York
contest for prize offered to the most perfectly de-
veloped man in America, and won it,
In two years he had, by his own intelligent care
of himself, transformed a hopeless, bed-ridden
cripple into physically perfect man. There were
no drugs and no doctor. He learned to eat proper
ly to breathe properly, to battle properly, to exer
else naturally and correctly-in short to study to
live up to and in accordance with the few and sim
pie rules that nature herself has established.
That is what one man has done. 1t is no more
than all men could do in greater less degree, if
they would Few think it worth while.
We carelessy shatter health by overeating
overjrnung, overworking, loss of sleep and a
thousand and one daily injuries and neglects, and
then make ourselves and all about us miserable for
the rest of broken lives, whining and complain
ing against fate,

Too Small to obey.

When certain couple were married
the wife was sixteen years old and big
and buxom. The husband was two
years her senior, but slim to thinness
and not UP to the average in height.
Ten years passed, and the couple got
along as well as many couples do, but
the wife was hard to manage. With
the fight of time she became larger,
while her theoretical lord and master
added not an inch to his stature nor an
ounce TO his weight. One day he want
ed her to do something, and she re-
fused, at first quietly, then vehemently
and finally explosively. "Pll not do it"
she declared, "and I'd like to see you
make me-"
But, Maria," expostulated her hus-
band, when you married me didn't you
promise to obey me"
II did," she replied. Then, sizing up
his diminutive proportions, she added,
"But expected you'd grow"

Said to BE Protection In Cases OF
Contagious Disease.
When a mere lad had often heard 1t
said that the eating of onions and
lemons was protection against conta-
gious diseases, and when about eight
cen years of age | had an opportunity
to test them for myself. l had spent
the winter in the city of New Orleans,
where, in the spring, yellow fever of a
virulent type made its appearance,
causing an urgent demand for nurses,
and, having faith In what I had heard
of the protective power of onions and
lemons, concluded to take what my
friends called a CHASTITY risk and made
application at the Common Street hos
pital for position as nurse, was ac-
cepted and entered at once upon line
of duty, in commencing which began
the use of raw onions and lemons, al
ternating weekly with lemons, always
taking them just before going to bed.
l took no other remedy, although
medicine was provided every morning
for all attaches. At the expiration of
the tenth week | was no longer needed
and left in as vigorous health as when
| entered the hospital.
On taking my departure was re-
minded by the head physician that his
medicine had probably preserved my
health Nevertheless number Of
nurses and attaches had died of the
fever, despite his Wanted medical abil-
ity. Before leaving the institution | ac-
quainted the doctor with the fact that
l had not used his medicine, but had
relied solely upon my onion-lemon
treatment. when he said it was won
der that it had not killed me and If 1t
had that had deserved it.
On another occasion had similar
experience with smallpox cases in Il
northern city, finding the onion and
lemon a perfect protection to myself
and many of my associates. Medical

SOME FINE WRITTEN.

In the days when the sword was mightier than
the pen genius was always going hungry to bed.
Milton sold his 'Paradce Lost" for a song, Gold
smith made more money from his flute than from
his manuscript The traditions of Grub street tell
many pathetic story of the writer's who trudged up
and down other peoples stairs seeking patron.
Fortunately for him the writer whom we intro
duce herewith lives in the twentieth, and not the
eighteenth century. He lives in Mississippi town
where he is the society reporter of weekly paper.
Notice the following:
Would that my pen had been plucked from
some beautiful bird of paradise and dipped in the
eyes of the rainbow, that might fttingly describe
the beautiful marriage scene enacted at the resi-
dence Of, - etc, last evening""
Just as the day god, clothed in majesty sub
lime, had withdrawn his galaxy Of quvering, golden
beams from all the earth and waited goodnight
kiss to the young evening, who was fast approach
ing with her cloudIess brow mounted by crown of
jeweed stars-it was then that the cords of conf
dence, hope and love- binding the hearts of Hiram
J. Bruster and Mary Elizabeth Braswel were in
deIby traced upon the scroll Of life and the sacred
seal of holy matrmony placed thereon"

How to Make Pine Woods.

Farmers in the White mountains
have discovered, or learned, what farm
ers elsewhere are slow to ascertain. 1t
is that if you lop off the lower limbs Of
balsams when they are young the
limbs will not grow again. Thus the
tree as lumber will be improved. 1t
will be freer of knots.
Certain hotel owners, desiring pine
lands near their hotels on account Of
healthfulness, asked a government for
ester how to get them. The reply was:
"Cut off the hard woods, then turn the
cattle in to pasture for three years.
That will keep down the shoots Of the
hard woods, and the pines, which cat
tie avoid, will grow up, and their
needles will keep down other growths."
In finding fault 1t is very easy to be
untruthful and unfair. Atchison

A Mere BagateIle.

Love is an nterlude between the acts,
A dainty tritie iridescent, gay;
A comedy before the serious piece
Love is play!
It'll must go lightly, with a careless verve;
Taken with gravity is fatal quite;
Laughed through, forgotten, is the wiser mode
Love is so light!
Did you not guess it must be acted thus?
Did you not know before the play began?
All, child be grateful that at least l. too,
Missed not the plan.
