Farmers and all welcomed the rain
on Sunday and Monday. There seems
now to be some hope for the crops
Strawberries are ripening very fast.
The Presbyterian Sunday school, in
Guiding the Home Department, will
hold a social in Whiponong Hall to-
night (Friday). Ice cream and other
refreshments will be served to all.
Preparatory lecture was delivered
on Thursday evening by Rev. |. A.
White in the Presbyterian Church; on
Sunday the sacrament OF the Lords
Supper was administered. On account
of the showers very few were present.
Children's Day will be observed in
the Presbyterian Church Sunday
morning: as the 14th of June is also
Flag Day, the exercises will partake
somewhat Of a patriotic nature. Reel
tations and singing, principally
by the younger members of the school,
and an address by the pastor will
constitute the program.
Miss Electa Baldwins musicale took
place on Saturday afternoon in the
Presbyterian Church; as usual a large
audience was present and the pupils
all showed their training At the
close of the program, the performers
and friends, about seventy in all, were
invited to Miss Baldwin's house where
refreshments were served. All had an
enjoyable time.
Ten per cent more freight was car
ried over the Whippany River Rail
road in May than on any previous
month since the road was built. The
company have been obliged to employ
an assistant for agent Apgar, on ac-
count Of the increase of business, and
the train crew are obliged to work dur
ing the night many times in order to
handle the large amount of freight that
is carried over the road. There are few
roads in the country OF the size OF the
Whippany River that do anything
like the amount of business.

Mr. and Mrs. Harry L. Glover

Sunday.
Miss Edith Cushman, of Gladstone,

William P. Garrabrant, who while
working one day last week stepped

A load of young folks went to the
Presbyterian church at Mt. Freedom
last Thursday night to again hear
the Southern Jubilee Singers.
Children's Day exercises will be
held in the chapel on Sunday after
noon at 3 p. m. The children have
been practicing for some time and
should make good showing.
The showers on Sunday and Mon
day came just in time to save the
pea crop in this vicinity. E. d.
Schenck has planted nine bushels,
some Of which he had picked last
week.
j. a. Brown pitched last Saturday
for the Pastimes against the Irwin
cibles of East Orange. The Irwin.
cibles were the easiest marks
Brown ever faced. Had they come
from the country they would have
been told, undoubtedly, to 60 home
and hoe their buckwheat.

BOOK AND HEARr.

For many a year he grubbed among
The stalls where antique tones lie piled.
And then alone when, for a song,
He bought some prize, he ever smiled.
Staring at titles, oft his eyes
Slanted aloft with eager looks,
As ii he stood in paradise
Meath trees Of knowledge hung with books
So long the reflex dull Of calf
Morocco, yellum, lit his face;
That it is leathern now by half,
And Times deep tooling we can trace.
Volumes grew human in his care,
While he their form and semblance took,
Till men stood on the shelving there
And in the armchair lolled book.
But books and men will fray and fade
As Cares rude finger turns the page,
Or in some sunless chamber laid
They warp and mildew into age.
The living leaves grow scar and wan,
The back knows many an ache and crook
Till into limbo's flung the man
And to the grave is borne the book.
Who knows; yon pile OF ragged leaves
May, when some critic finds 1t there,
Be gathered up like golden sheaves
And CARRIED in beauty past compare.
Fen so, il aught OF worth he find
Between its margins broad and white.
Some heavenly Grolier yet may bind
The bookman's soul in covers bright

HOW TO REST.


Some Simple Directions For Relax
ing the Muscles.
People who are nervous should be
careful how they eXpend energy. To
rest should not be an art difficult of ac-
quirement or one requiring a teacher,
yet many know very little of it, writes
DR.. John Mitchell in Harpers Bazaar.
If you are physically tired very few
minutes on the fiat of your back is
worth as a means of repair an hours
sitting in a chair But mind that it be
fiat, not reclining on a lounge or with
your spine bent out Of shape in a deep
chair in which your weight rests on
any part of your body except the part
intended to support it; above all not in
a rocking chair, that special trap for
the nervous.
Besides getting into this position you
must lie still in it, not holding yourself
down on to the couch or endeavoring
to hold that article of furniture down
that is, you must be loose, relaxed, I'm
strung
Learn to keep still when you rest.
When you move, move on the part of
the body needed. Do not waste your
force by walking with your arms and
face as well as with your legs. If cir
cumstances force an unusual and ia
tiguing amount Of exertion upon you,
break it now and then by periods of
absolute rest. No matter how brief
they are, they will be useful if you
make them complete and perfect in the
way described.
This is true of mental as well as bod
lily exertion. A minute or two minutes
of quiet, with closed eyes if possible
with your tension relaxed and the gear
ing of the machinery thrown off for
the moment, will help to refresh you
greatly. Here again more may be
gained if the ability to relax mentally
can be acquired in a fashion similar to
the withdrawing of muscular tension
Learn to empty your mind when moi
using it.
