To cast down at thy feet
The garnered largeness OF the fruitful

Thy glory flames in every blade and

That all the sweets wherewith thy

The Necessity Of Rest.

Youths Companion.
Natures demands for rest arc i'm
perative. They are often enforced
through the infliction Of pain, and
persistent disregard of them Is punish
ed at times with death. The unresist-
ing infant spends much more than
halt its time in sleep, and 1t should be
encouraged to do SO, for eleep is the
type of perfect rest, and most essential
to growth. In adult life, energy can
be made a substitute for rest TO re-
markable extent. The hours of sleep
NAV be reduced from the normal eight
to four, and the week may be robbed
OF its Sabbath yet not with lmpunity
Such practices beget a predisposition
to the contagious and infectious dis
eases. diminish the capability foI
efficient work, and often induce disor.
ders of the nervous system. TIE PEN
atty may be long deferred, but 1t fre-
ouently becomes more severe with de-
lay. In all circumstances, rest should
ba commensurate with labor or exer
else.
The apparent demand for rest varies
with the temperament and vigor Ol
the person sometimes it ls governed
largely by habit, and it Is often in
creased by an inability to obtain com
plete repose. Ability to rest ie, witt

Two Extremes.

Youths Companion.
One hundred and twenty-five dollars
day ID charged for the best suite OF
rooms in a new hotel in New York
City, and ono of the wealthiest men In
the. country declined to occupy the
suite recently On the ground that he
could not afford 1t. About the same
time tho newspapers were telling the
story of an old woman from country
town In Pennsylvania, who. having un-
expectedly inherited eight hundred
dollars, went to New York, hired q
room with bath at twenty dollars q
day, and stayed at the hotel until she
had spent every dollar. She took sew
eral baths day to get her moneys
worth, and when she was not In the
tub, sat at the window watching the
| passing throng. The contrast mis-
leads some commentators into arguing
that the rich man was riser and the
poor woman a spendthlift; but this ie
. short-sighted view. To the one the
superfluous luxury was not worth the
extra cost-because he was used to
luxury. The other, accustomed to
poverty, may have ielt that she Wa

IN PRECARlOUS
CONDITION
Regained Consciousness Only For a
Few Minutes Since the
Accident.

Frank Peer. foreman of Hutton s
coffin factory, met with a very serious
accident Saturday afternoon. How
the accident happened Is something OF
a mystery, as there were no eye wit
nesses, and Mr.. Peer has not been
conscious long enough to tell about
the affair. The noise of a heavy fall
was heard, and, when employees
rushed into the room Peer was lying
on the floor unconscious. 1t IS thought
that while working near some machln-
erv he was hit on the head and sus-
tanned conclusion of the brain. The
strangest part of it IS that there IS
no mark, save a faint black and blue
spot directly over the temple. I'M
mediately after the accident DIR. ID.
II. Weist was summoned, but 1t was
more than an hour from the time the
accident occurred before the unfor-
tunate man was able to be taken to
his home. on south ninth street
Though he is in very serious condi-
ton, vet faint hopes are held that he
will recover, although the outlook IN
that direction is very small. The
worst part is that Mr.. Peer has been
unconscious from the time of the ac-
cident up to last night, with the eX-
ception of a few minutes yesterday
afternoon, when he seemed to recover.
When asked what hurt him he said.
"Oh, my head; my head, - and re-
lapsed into unconsciousness again, IL
which state he has been ever since.
Mr.. Peer is a well-known young
Richmond man, and his many friends
are exceedingly sorry to hear of his
accident.
DR.. Weist reports his condition as
being improved. He recognized peo-
pie at times and then relapsed into
unconsciousness. The doctors say he
suffered severe concussion of the
brain.
