1t IL One of the Greatest Factors For
Good Health.
Congenial work with mind and hands
should be encouraged in all persons
for Its prophylactic as well as Its
curative influences. Rest will prove
serviceable doubtless in numbers of
cases, but its application should be re-
stricted and carefully studied. There
are many conditions where absolute
rest will not only prove useless, but
really harmful. To send man from
an active business life to one of COM
plete inactivity will often prove dis
astrous, as much SO as to prescribe all
food for the obese.
The nervous will complain that they
do not feel like work. Ii left to them
selves and told 10 do absolutely moth
ing, not even to read, they are sure to
dwell upon their infirmities and grow
thereby morose and hypochondriacal,
thus increasing their invalidism. The
desire for work should be encouraged
In all conditions and in all classes. If
ones interest is aroused even to q
slight degree continuance In the work
will develop n desire for occupation.
One will never feel like work If one
has nothing to do. Work will often ac-
complish what medicine, however prop
erly applied, will not, for 1t Is not

THE SENSE OF BEAUTY.
cultivate 1t by Observing tho Sky
and the Landscape.


Cultivate 1t by Observing the sky
and the Landscape.
Tie Oldest and readiest means Of cul-
uvating the sense of beauty is habitual
observation of the heavens, for which
the only things needed are the open
sight OF the sky and the observing eye.
The heavens are always declaring 'the
glory of God" The noblest poetry Of
all nations celebrates the majesty and
splendor of the sky. Psalmist, prophet
and artist draw thence their Hottest
teachings. Sun, moon and stars, sun
set aud sunrise, clouds tossed and torn
By wind, floating or driving mists and
fogs, snow, rain and the clear blue are
all phenomena Of the sky which will
alord endless delights to him who
watches them. The dweller on the
prairie or the sea has the best chance
ut the Sky, and the dweller In narrow
streets, hemmed in by tall buildings,
has the worst. This. obstruction Of the
sight of the sky is one Of the grave
evils which beset u modern urban pop
ulation. City people run about ut the
bottom Of deep bitches and often can
see only narrow strip Of the heavens.
Fortunately the loftiest structures rear.
ed by men are not SO high but that q
moderate open area in the midst of q
closely built city will give u prospect
of large sections of the heavens. This
is one Of the great things gained for an
urban population by accessible open
spaces, such MS parks, commons
marshes and reaches or ponds of wa
ter.
Next to observation of the sky as q
means of developing the sense of beau.

The EARLE ON the Dollar

The figure Of the eagle on the dollars
of 1886. 1888 and 1889 are exact por-
traits of famous American eagle.
Peter the mint Bird" he was called
by everybody in Philadelphia, and dur
ing his life his fame was equally as
great as that Of "Old Abe" the Wis.
consin war eagle, the latter being
really Il spring chicken when compared
with Peter. Peter was the pet of the
Philadelphia mint for many years.
Finally he was caught in some coming
machinery and had the life jerked out
of his body in n jitfy. The figure on
the coins named above is an exact
reproduction Of Il portrait taken Of
Peter after he had been stuffed and
placed in a glass case In the mint
cabinet.
