A New York paper publishes an &C.
count Of a successful effort recently
made by Mr.. N. o. Nelson, in South
ern California, to provide for the poor
Or classes. Mr.. Nelson has established
at lndio, in Southern California, what
ne calls health camp for consump-
lives. We quote the following de-
Scription Of this worthy enterprise
with the hope that it may encourage
others to do likewise; for certainly
no more benefcent work can be under
taken by anyone:
'The camp is located in a desert
valley, cut off from the ocean by
the mountains. There is no rain, no
fog, no clouds. The winter days are
all warm, the nights comparatively
cold.
THE camp was established in De-
Cember, 1902, to provide in part for
the large number Of cOnsumptives and
other invalids who go to Southern
California. Most of the inyalids have
little means; they can not afford eX-
pensiye sanitariums, and are not want
ed by hotels and boarding houses.
'To meet the requirements Of such
patients, Mr.. Nelson bought one hun
dred and twenty-five acres of land ad-
joining the Indio depot. This tract
he has improved by sinking artesian
wells, and by putting most Of the land
under cultivation, in order to give con-
yalescents something to do.
Tents, with all necessary equip,
ment for sleeping and taking meals
have been set up. Land and water
are free to those who have their own
outfit. A small rental for tents is
made to those WHO can not pay, and
where necessary, board is given them
All expenses need not be more thar
from $3.50 to $500 a week.
work is provided for those who arc
able to do it, so that their care does
not become a burden on the camp.
"The camp is situated in the mids
Of a sandy valley one hundred miles
long and three to ten miles wide
The mountains on each side rise b.
degrees to four thousand and fvt
thousand feet high. In some places il
the foothills there are springs ar
vegetation.
'In the valleys most of the lant
has been taken up in the past fey
years. The crops of melons and vege
tables are early and bring high prices
From $100 to 5000 an acre is al
ordinary yield. Alfalfa hay is cut tel
times a year, giving twelve to fifteeI
tons an acre.
when the campers get we'll enoug
to work, they buy or lease fey
acres. They can either buy the Ian
or the instalment plan, or lease it o
shares for such length Of time as d.
sired"

Onions Better than Expected.

Sinner, Texas, March 14.-The rains
CT the PAST week retarded the planting
Of corn to some extent, and large
portion of it remains to be planted
this week. Onions are expected to
turn out better than anticipated a few
weeks ago, as they were not damaged
as much by the heavy frost as looked
for. All kinds OF fruit trees are in
full bloom, and should no late frost
interfere, a heavy fruit crop Is prom.
ised.

CARPENTER BossED THE SHOW.
Une Case Where Richard Mansfield
Yielded His Authority.

Another tale of the urbanity Of Mr.
Mansfield, the actor, is going around
the theaters.
With his company is a stage car
penter whom Mr.. Mansfield considers
the acme of perfection in his line,
Just as Richard himself is in his. Now,
this carpenter, whom Mr.. Mansfield
would not lose for the best leading
lady in the land, has his own eccen-
tricities, even as Mr.. Mansfield has
his.
One afternoon during the time OF
rehearsal the carpenter was heard
pounding with his hammer in the
wings. Mr.. Mansfield sent a messen-
ger to tell the carpenter to desist, but
the pounding went right on Vigor'
ously.
Finally Richard in high dudgeon
strobe into the wings himself, and
above the noise of the poundings Mr.,
Mansfelds objections could be heard.
One actress, holder than the rest,
crept near the scene in the wings.
She beheld Richard bending over he
carpenter, who was on his knees
pounding away.
What do you mean" cried Mr.
Mansfield. why don't you stop
when l tell you tor
"Sh-sh-" said the carpenter, not
ceasing to let his hammer fall.
"You-yCu-" cried the enraged
master. Don't YOU know who's talk
ing to you, you b,ockhead of an old
fool?"
The carpenter looked up a minute
Speak piano, Richard,' he said, you
will disgrace yourself with the PEG
pie on the stage" And he resumed
his good hearty strokes.
Mr.. Mansfield walked off. THE car
penter runs this show" he com
planned
Some of the company think Rich
ards right.

That Tired Eeeiinu.

The condition of lethargy produced
by excessive eating or habitual drunk
enness must be distinguished from IA
tisue due to work. Persons in this
condition often decline to exercise be-
cause they feel so tired This state
of lassitude and enervation cannot be
overcome by rest. Carefully gradual
ed exercises and regulation of the di-
etary are the proper remedies. There
are many chronic invalids whose suf-
ferings and disability are wholly due
to this cause, and who may be read
lily restored to usefulness by spare
and simple dietary combined with out
door exercises, gradually increased in
yigor and duration as the strength i'm
proves.

Food for Brain Workers.

Mental work requires much less
food than does physical labor. Re-
cent careful experiments which have
been made, show that men engaged
in active mental labor and abstaining
from muscular eXertiOn. require praC-
tically no more food than men at rest.
This is a fact Of very great import
ance for students, ministers, and 9th
er professional men whose occupation
does not require any considerable
amount Of effort, since the taking OF
food in excess Of that which is re.
Quired results in the filling of the
blood with pOisons, and in conse,
quenCe croWding Of the tissues with
tissue wastes and poisonous matters
which interfere with all the bodily
functions, and especially with the
functions of to brain and nerves.
Mental activity is clouded, sleep may
be prevented, and all the effects OF
nervous exhaustion produced by a
comparatively slight expenditure OF
energy, giving rise to languor, some
times depression, and at other times
irritabiiity, confusion, and indecision
of mind, even moroseness and melan'
chOly.

Attorney Jerome's Simple Life.

Although District Attorney Jerome
belongs to one Of the Oldest and most
distinguished families in New York
and holds a membership in five Of the
most fashionable clubs, he prefers to
live in little fat over on the east
side. At home he leads the simple
life and in the Office he leads the
strenuous life. He has no time for
billiards or cards, but makes his own
breakfast and broils steak or a
chicken for a guest. When his clocks
or electric bells get out of order Mr..
Jerome fixes them himself. He has a
flint set of tools and prides himself
on his skill as a mechanic. Mr.. Je.
rome also is a skilled drink mixer.

What Is the little one thinking about7
Very wonderful things, no doubt!
Unwritten history!
Unfathomed mystery!
Yet he laughs and cries, and eats and
drinks,
And chuckles and crows, and mods and
winks,
As If his head were as full of kinks
AND curious riddles as any sphinx!
Warped by collie, and wet by tears,
Punctured by pins, and tortured by fears,
Our little nephew will lose two years;
And he'll never know
Where the summers GO
He need not laugh, for he'll find it so!
Who can tell what baby thinks?
Who can follow the gossamer links
By which the manikin feels his way
Out from the shore of the great un-
known,
Blind, and wailing, and alone,
Into the light of day? p
Out from the shore of the unknown sea,
Tossing in pitiful agony
OF the unknown sea that reels and rolls,
.Specked with the barks Of little souls
Banks that were launched on the other
side,
And slipped from heaven on an ebbing
tide!
What does he think Of his mothers eyes?
What does he think of his mothers
hair?
What of the cradle-roof that flies
Forward and backward through the
air?
What does he think Of his mothers
breast
Bare and beautiful, smooth and white,
Seeking it ever with fresh delight
Cup Of his life and couch of his rest
What does he think when her quick en-
brace
Presses his head and buried his face
Deep where the heart-throbs sink and
With a tenderness she can never tell,
Though she murmur the words
OF all the birds
Words she has learned to murmur well
Now he thinks he'll 60 to sleep!
can see the shadow creep
Over his eyes, in soft eclipse,
Over his brow, and over his lips,
Out to his little finger tips!
Softly sinking, down he goes!
Down he goes! down he goes!
