THE Time For Recreation.

In this insistent age, when life every
where is at high pressure, there is
great need Of emphasizing the impor-
tance-yes, the absolute necessity-of
recreation.
What is work worth, especially brain
work, when it is performed with jaded
faculties, the energy of the brain cells
being exhausted?
One ambitious Of becoming writer,
for example, thinks he is saving time
by forcing his brain beyond natural
limits. He believes that what he does
over hours is clear gain and that writ
ing q chapter or an article after his
days work in an Office, a factory or
store is to his advantage. But sooner
or later he will realize his mistake. Ma
ture will not be cheated.
a man may protitably occupy his
evenings in study or in some other &C.
cupation than that by which he earns
his daily bread, but he cannot do a full
days work Of any kind and then wise
ly attempt to do creative work in the
evening. A fresh brain is absolutely
essential to the production of original
thought. Even 4 recognized author
who forces too much work upon his
brain will soon see that his writings
are not as much in demand as they
have been and that his reputation is
waning.-O. S. Marsden in Success.

Dolly Madison.

There are many stories told of the
tact and kindness of Mistress Dolly
Madison when she was the first lady Of
the land. Her ready wit saved from
confusion many a visitor to the White
House who was not accustomed to the
ways of polite society.
One Of the most amusing Of the sto-
ries is the tale Of country lad at a
White House reception who was sur
prised in the midst of his enjoyment
of a cup of coffee by the approach of
his hostess. In his confusion the poor
boy dropped his saucer and thrust the
cup into his pocket.
Mistress Dolly, who, although her eyes
were keen and searching. never saw
anything that it was not intended she
should see, Chatted away with her
guest so pleasantly of the weather, the
crowd, and, finally, of the young mans
mother, whom she had known or heard
of, that he recovered from his embar-
rassment and was soon at ease and
ready to accept the fresh cup of coffee
which his hostess ordered, despite a
certain curious and unexplained bulge
in his pocket.

Fire Horses as Pets.

The horses Of the New York fire de-
partment receive more petting proba-
bly, than any other horses in the world.
In nearly every engine house each Of
the stalls bears the name of the horse
occupying it, large black letters on
aluminium marking the quarters Of
Tom, Harry, Dick or Major, as the case
may be. The firemen are proud of
their dumb friends and not only do
everything possible to make them COM
Portable when they are off duty, but
take pleasure in providing them with
little luXuries and tidbits. Loaf sugar,
nougat and other candies are pur-
chased by one fireman or another in
each engine house almost every day,
and passersby may often see the
horses eating the sweets from the
hands of their men friends.
