WORK AND REST.
When They Alternate Perfectly, q
Man VIII Enjoy Both.


After work comes rest. When they
alternate perfectly man may prepare
to enjoy real happiness. When they
alternate perfectly man will enjoy
both the work and the rest that fol
lows it.
Nature Is Just old lady. She seldom
gives man more than Ne needs. II he
elects to live lazy life she let's his
muscles get flabby and his brain go
sleepy. She never permits him to long
possess faculty or nerve or mus
Gle or sinew that he does not use.
The proper way to keep your muscles
or your brains is to use 'em up and let
nature provide you with fresh sup
ply. Nature is assisted in this work by
rest. One may rest sometimes by seek
ing a change of labor. Labor thus be-
comes q recreation-re-crea ton.
To live happily in this world it is not
enough to know how to work. A man
must also know how to rest. The man
who knows only how to work will soon
wear out. If he doesn't wear out fm-
mediately his work will suffer in some
way. No man can do his best work I'M
less he alternates it with little play
or q little rest.
A man who can't drop his work from
his mind as readily as he can drop his
tools from his hands had better take a
few weeks off to study the rest ques-
ton. His nerves are not what they
should be.
If man wishes to keep his nerve, let
him avoid nerves.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

IVY clad Buildings.

So long as the walls of building are
sound and the bricks or stones, well
cemented together, offer no assures or
cracks for the plant to force its way
into, there is nothing whatever to fear.
Should the ivy, however, find an open
ing, and SO thrust itself into the wall,
the natural and continuous. expansion
of its parts will tend to loosen the
stones and hasten the decay Of the
building.
A fair growth of ivy on sound walls
that allow of no advances beyond the
superficial attachment Of the claspers,
or aerial roots, as they are called, is al
together beneficial. It promotes dry
ness and warmth, counteracts the cor
rosive action of the atmosphere and Is
at once shelter. and an ornament.
These aerial roots are not sources OF
nutrition, but merely serve as mechan-
ical support to the climbing ivy. The
contention that they sap the whole OF
the moisture from mortar, leaving 1t
excessively dry and crumbling, has
therefore no foundation in faction

A Disguised Toast.

At one time the officers under Lord
Howe refused to drink his health at
their mess, for, though splendid adj
miral, he was not popular in the navy
on account Of a certain shyness and
want of tact with those about him.
The chaplain, who was protege of his
lordship, was mortified at this and de-
termined that the officers should drink
to Lord Howe. When called upon for
toast one day he said, well, gentle
men, 1 can think Of nothing better at
this moment than to ask you to drink
the first two words Of the Third Psalm,
for Scriptural toast for once may be
taken from one of my CLOTH" The

LET'S NOT QUARREL.
IHamnton Recorder.l

AS every sensible man knows, tne
MIA tform is a compromise, as almost an
platforms are 1t was known before
hand that 1T would be compromise,
when II was announced that Senator
Allison was to write it, or dictate It's
contents. 1t is idle, therefore, to quar-
70, now about who got the better OF
the compromise. as we must all stand
IN common ground, and the national
platform of next year will decide who
is nearest right. 1t might De proper
however. to consider for a moment
what the Iowa Idea" really Is, and
what it is not. 1t is assumed by some
of the most radical advocates OF the
idea, that those who do not favor II
are against any revision OF the present
tariff. This is not true as no
thinking republican is welded to any
particular set of schedules. But they
are in favor of postponing tariff TIM
kering until an opportune time, and
that is until after the next presiden-
tial election. The republicans tried
tariff tinkering once, and the election
of Grover Cleveland in 1892 was the
result. That lesson ought to last us,
at least thru one generation. But
the fundamental principle, and foun-
dation plank of the Iowa idea, is that
the tariff shelters trusts, and that
certain schedules must be reduced to
avoid fostering monopolies. This
does not appear in the platform
adopted at Des Moines last week, and
it is safe to say that it has finally dis
appeared from republican platforms
in Iowa 1t is essentially a demo-
cratic doctrine. and has been one of
the cardinal doctrines of the democra-
CIV ever since the tariff was a politi-
cal issue To concede that the tariff
shelters trusts and should be reduced
for that reason, is conceding all the
democrats claim, and with that conces-
sion made, there is nothing in the tariff
question to differ about. Hence, those
who claim that the present platform
recognizes the iowa idea" are in err

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.
Mill.

The dismissal of three young men
from the service of the Rapid Transit
Company, for dishonesty-theft to be
plain about it-serves to emphasize the
fact that many young men are wholly
devoid of foresight. These young men
were just starting out for themselves.
The future was bright with hope. They
had a good start. There is nothing par
ticularly great about being a conductor
on an interurban car, but after all, it
is a responsible position, because the
handling of money belonging to COR
pora ton is involved. To fill such po-
sition in an honest manner, and at the
same time come in touch with the pub
lie forms the stepping stone for some-
thing much better. Take away from a
young man the thought of promotion
and you crush out his hopes and aspir-
ations. Every wage Garner looks anx-
.iously forward to the time when he will

mistake. The future must always be

DAIRY SANITATION.

The necessity of proper inspection OF
city milk supplies is emphasized by
the report of the Minnesota state board
of health on the milk supply of the
Twin Cities, and particularly of st.
Paul. a digest of which was published
in the Pioneer Press on Saturday. The
examination covered not only the
diaries within the cities but those in
the country Immediately surrounding
the cities. To judge by the interrogato-
ries its purpose was to discover the
thoroughness with which the tuberculiI
test had been applied, the general con-
d!tion of the cows, WHERE the milk was
kept. whether the. surroundings OF the
stable were sanitary and what the in
terror conditions of the stable were

Ventilation rather than cleanliness. The
result was that Of the $50 diaries In
spected only seven We're reported as
excellent and 1874 as good, While 229
were unsatisfactory. The conditions OF
the ST. Paul diaries and of ninety-six
outside diaries tributary to st. Paul
were reported as distinctly below those

few distinctly bad reports. such as

the outside of the stables and the clean

herds the reports show much better
conditions. In respect to the conditions
under which the milk is stored before
selling much more care is apparent,
tho at JAG of the $50 diaries II is kept,

and should be eliminated by state In

right, however, in asserting t1at. more
may be accomplished by strict local at
tention than by state Intervention:
Cleanliness is question of efficiency or
the part of local inspectors and sani-
tary conditions should be rgidly en-
forced in every case.
