Rest.
Few people really know how to rest
Exercise is very necessary to health
and many do not take enough of it;
but on the other hand, perhaps even
more people rest too little, or what
amounts to the same thing. do not
rest properly. No matter how well de-
veloped the muscles are, II they are
rigid and stiff they will not do the
best work. They must be readily re-
laxed when not In use. Even athletes
II they really understand the laws of
exercise, strive for relaxation as well
as for well-developed muscles.
Rest means relaxation-not only of
the body, but of the mind also. In
America, particularly. we are apt to
forget this. That is why nervous
prostration" is such popular phrase
just now. The Germans. as a nation
go more slowly than we do in all
things; the English and even the
French take life more easily. Perhaps

and hurry. At any rate the popularity
of such words as Strenuous. hustle"
and the like. in this country. show our
attitude as a nation.
OF course we cannot Immediately
change all this. We do not wish to-
Enthusiasm and energy. hard work
and hard thinking, have brought us
to our present state of prosperity, and
We cannot afford to fall back now. Nor
do We need to. Hard work. whether
of hand or brain. does not kill. but
continual worls and wnrry MO
would secure the future generations
from nervous degeneration. we must
learn how and when to relax.
This is very hard for some tempera-
ments. Some people must have their
hands constantly occupied in some
way. and It is dificult. Of course, to
remember that haste is often slower
than deliberation. We say that have
no time to go slowly.
great fault In busy people is their
failure to relax thoroughly at night
Many go to bed and sleep, after a
fashion. but with tense nerves. The
mind should be as divested of worries
and cares at bedtime as the body is Of
clothes. The muscles must be relax
ed. II exercises are taken at night,
they should end in a few especially
for relaxation. Some of the most
helpful Of these relaxing exercises
may be mentioned:
1. Stand easily erect, chest raised
and abdomen in, and let the head fall
gently forward. then arms and trunk
above the waist. All this must be
done without effort. the breath being
gently expelled at the same time. Aft.
er little pause. raise the body slowly
2. Stand erect. raise the arms
above the head and let them fall
first the fingers. then the wrists. then
the arms.
3. Let the arms hang at the sides,
then slowly and gently swing them
from side to side. gradually letting the
head and then the body swing with
them.
Remember that your object is to re.
lax the muscles and do all these exer.
cises easily and with as little exertion
as possible.

ats All Dead"

A physician recently related an Incl
dent which had come under his OBJ
servation showing the aversion a Ger.
tain little fellow of entertained for
dead chickens. On being seated at a
table upon which was an uncarved
chicken. he cried out in evident dis
tress, ITS all dead. mamma! l must
have hurted it," and he could scarcely
be persuaded to remain at the table
until the dead creature was carved
past recognition.
Children are naturally tender and
sympathetic, not only toward each
other. but also solicitous for the well
fare Of the lower animals. The parents
of this child will probably congratulate
themselves when his tender nature be-
comes so calloused that the sight of a
dead animal being devoured will seem
to him entirely consistent. and will no
longer excite his pity.
Many of the boys in the stock yard
districts of our large cities are further
advanced in education In this line, for
they consider 1t rare amusement to
torment the live stock before they are
unloaded from the stock cars. One
method is to poke them with red-hot
irons until the animals give vent to
the most piteous outcries.
The barbarous custom of college
hazing is another manifestation of
this same spirit of cruelty, which,
when implanted early enough in the
child's mind and then carefully fos.
tered and cultivated, will invariably
in due time produce a bountiful har.
vest of undesirable fruits in various
shocking manifestations OF human
cruelty.

A FLOCK OF ANGELS.
Have Gathered at Benton HarbOr TO
Await End of the World.

A flock or a cOvey) of angels de-
scended upon New York a few days
ago. That they were really angels
cannot be doubted, since they admitted
it, They went under the guidance of
a chief angel of the name of Benjamin
Angels, it will be borne in mind, have
only one name, so that Benjamin was
neither Smith nor Jones nor Robin
son, but simply Benjamin. The COM
pany of angels, eighty in number,
were on their way to Benton HarbOr,
Mich, where they expect to await the
end of the world and their flight to
heaven in 1916 Meanwhile Benton
Harbor is to be a sort of earthly Para
disc. Why the angels should have
pitched on that place is not explained
by Benjamin. 1t seem that they might
as we'll have gone to Puntxsutawney
or Kalamazoo or Staten Island to
await the final catacl ysm. But Ben
jamin says he has had a revelation
directing him to lead his followers to
a place of safety, and he has APP
parently hit upon the Michigan town
as the place by rule-o' thumb. The
dispatches say that the angels had
considerable money and jewels. If
Benjamin doesn t come into possession
of them before a great while he will
not live up to the example set for him
by "Elijah" Dowie.

1T is ILLEGAL TO BORROW.
Attorney General Gives Important
Decision to Governor.

Decision to Governor.
Attorney General Hart has given
the opinion that it is wholly beyond
the law for the governor to borrow
money for the PURPOSE of paying the
pensioners who were not paid for the
year 1905 before the pension fund was
exhausted, and these pensioners will
have to wait the assembling of the
legislature in June when an apprO-
priation covering the deficiency in this
fund, $25, 900, will be made
Attorney General Hart gave this
opinion based on the code, which pro-
vides that 5000, 900 can be borrowed
by the governor when the funds in the
state treasurer are at a low ebb, but
this is not the cause at present. The
treasury has money, but the legisla-
ture did not provide for an extra APP
preparation for this fund. The fault
lies with the pension fund as it is in
adequate to meet the demands of the

sULLY WRITE s TO FARMERS.
The Cotton Bull Tells Them They

Daniel J. Sully, who did more last
year to send the price of cotton up
wards than any other man, and who
has again made his appearance in the
market with strong backing for the
purpose of again boosting the price,
has written an article for the press
bureau of the Southern Cotton AssO-
citation relative to the present cotton
situation. Mr.. Sully says that the
southern farmer now has it within his
power to control with intelligence the
cotton trade of the world. He praises
the work of the Southern Cotton AS
sociation to further the interests of
the southern farmer and says that the
work is a great blessing, not only to
the farmer but to the world.
Mr.. Sully contends that a fair price
for cotton does not mean speculation,
nor injury to manufacturers, but a
blessing alike to all. Ee urges the
farmers to muster their forces and
stand out for their own betterment

OIL KINGS slOO, 900 GIFT
CHURCHMEN DECIDE ROCKEFEL-
LER'S MONEY Is CLEAN.
PrOtestants Are Strong, However, and
May Yet Succeed in Having the
Donation Finally Rejected.

The American board of commission
ers for foreign missions has an
nounced that its prudential committee
has accepted a report OF the sub-com-
mittee recommending the acceptance
of the gift of 500. 900 by John ID.
Rockefeller, but that final action on
the matter has been postponed for two
week The report of the subcommittee,
in the language of statement issued
by the board, was received and ac-
cepted as expressing the unanimous
judgment of the prudential committee
and the executive officers, and was to
the effect that the committee could not
accede to the protest of those who
objected to the acceptance of the gift.
The report also states that the gift
was offered by Mr.. Rockefeller and
unanimously accepted by the pruden-
tial committee on February IA last.
1t says that in accepting the gift the
committee followed the universal Gus
tom of the church in the past, "in re-
ceiving upon its affairs the gifts of all
who were moved to lay them there
on.
The report holds that the acceptance
of gift involves no expression on
the part of the committee as to the
character Of the giver and to intercept
gift made to others in order to eX-
press an opinion seems unWarrant-
able.
The reason for deferring final action
is given as follows:
''Inasmuch as the protestants have
requested delay, the committee will
hold final action in allegiance for two
weeks.
Summing up the arguments of the
different protestants the reports says
they practically declare that the donor
of this gift is believed TO be iden .ified
in a conspicuous way with great
evil IN this country and that therefore
the board should refuse the gift in a
conspicuous way, thus striking blow
at the evil.
Rev. Mir. Evan, chairman of the
protesting committee, said:
"A meeting of the committee has
been called to discuss the report anC
to decide upon the next step. The
protestants are growing in number
throughout the country, both inside
and without the Congregations
church. More and more Representative
men are coming over to our side. The
matter is not settled by any means"

NEW JERSEY A TRAITOR STATE

of the Country.


Lincoln Steffens, in his study of the
corruption of the states as set forth in
McClure's Magazine, has reached New
Jersey, and he pronounces it the worst
yet.
This state, he says, doubly betrays
us. She charters the trusts. She not
only licensed companies to do in 9th
err states what those states would not
license, but she licensed them to do in
those states what she would not let
them in Jersey.
New Jersey sold US for money. She
passed her miscellaneous incorpora-
ton acts for revenue. And she gets
the revenue. Her citizens pay no di-
rect state tax. The corporations pay
all the expenses of the state, and more.
1t was good business. But it was
bribery, the bribery of whole state.
And it was treason. If there is such
a thing as treason by state then New
Jersey is traitor state. Such is Mr..
Stetfens' summing up of the longest,
most important and most interesting
of his stories. 1t is an ''unrelenting
story of sordid things" which should
arouse the country to seek a remedy.
