The NeCesaity Of Reat,

Natures demands for rest are i'm
perative. They are often enforced
| through the intiiction of pain. and per-
siStent disregard of them is punished
at times with death. The unreSisting
infant spends much more than half its
time in sleep, and it should be encour-
aged to do so, for sleep is the type of
perfect rest and most essential to
growth. In adult life, energy can be
made Il substitute for rest to a re-
markable extent The hours of sleep
may be reduced from the normal eight
to four. and the week may be robbed
of its Sabbath; yet not with impunity.
Such practices beget predispOsitiOn
to the contagious and infectious dis
eases diminish the capability for ETH
cient work, and often induce disorders
OF the nervous system. The penalty
may he long deferred. but it frequent
ly becomes more severe with delay.
In all circumstances. rest should be
commensurate with labor or exercise.
The apparent demand for rest varies
with the temperament and vigOr OF
| the person: sometimes it Is governed
largely by habit, and it is often in
creased by an inability to obtain com

with others it is an art The first step
toward acquiring it is generally the
systematizing of ones duties so that
no unfinished tasks remain at night to
occupy the mind. Lassitude and
often induced by retention of ptomans
or other poisonous matters in the sys-
tenn. and rest is of little benefit until
the poisons have been removed.
Benefit may often be derived from
shortening of the intervals between
the periods of repose. A sound nap OF
only few minutes duration in the
middle of the day, for example. is
more beneficial than several hours of
sleep made restless or broken by
dreams rs result Of prolonged ia
tixue. But the mind is more quickly
refreshed than the body. and the ap-
parent invigoratiOn after short sleep

There are many ways too, of obtain

alton without increasing the hours of
sleep: even without idleness. Some
persons can obtain it best in reading.
others in conversation. and others,
again. in solitude and thought. with a
couch. a hammock or a rockingch
for the sake of muscular relaxation.
In addition to all ordinary rest ev-

several weeks duration once year
or oftener. at such times and in such
manner as will give the most complete
relaxation and abstraction from ac-

Vacation on the Farm.

He visited the dear old farm,
Where in his boyhood days
The weather never was too warn.
Or cold-to win his praise.
And now he didn't do thing
But mop. or fan and groan,
Or say. in accents blithering:
This heat would melt "A stone"
He longed when in the city pent
10 drink from the old well:
Tin dipper in his hand. he went
They heard dismal yell.
The windlass that be loved to turn
Had hit him such crack.
He saw = million planners burn
In the old well, amck.
The water had brackish taste:
Twas not the fluid cold
He used to drink with fev'rish haste
In the dear days of old
He heard the frogs in croaking greet
Their friend Of other years
And wonders why their music sweet
To him SO changed appears.
He didn't find the treat at night
OF mosquito smudAe.
a jolly climax of delight
If he was any judge.
And. tossing on feather bed,
That like a blister stuck.
He wildly rolled his troubled head
And blamed his measly luck.
But now he's home. as Moses meek.
His skin Il solid tan;
Great freckles on his robust cheek,
He's quite different man.
The burrs are sticking to his heels,
The truth he does not finch.
But says the farm to him appeals
As a vaca ton cinch.
