SCIENCE OF LIVING.
An Ounce of Good Cheer Is Worth
Pound of Melancholy.

Pound of Melancholy.
1T has been said that it is better to
be born lucky than rich,' said DR..
George +. Butler, but it is in fact bet
ter to be born tough than either lucky
or rich. After forty eat less and elimi-
nate more. Drink more pure water and
keep the periStaltic wave of prosperity
constantly moving down The alimenta
ry canal. Many people suffer from too
much business and not enough health.
When such is the case they had better
cut out business and society for Il time
ana come down to mush and milk and
FIRST principles. Don't be foolish. Eat
less and play more. Indulge in less fret
End fUme and more fruit and fun.
There are people too indolent to be
healthy literally too lazy to live. Work
your brains and keep in touch with
people. DO something for others and
forget yourselves There is nothing 50
inane and detrimental To mind and
health as the conversation of people on
their aches and pains and troubles.
The froth of whipped eggs is Il tonic
compared to it. All our appctites are
conditional. Enjoyment depends upon
the scarcity. y worker in any field
whose age is near either the shady or
sunny side of fifty should consider him
self in his prime, good for another half
century of temperate. judicious work.
Let grandma wear bright ribbons and
CANDY gowns if the colors become her,
and let grandpa be as dudish as he
picases, with tlaShy neckties and cheer
fui garb. Both will be younger for it,
and, besides. it is in harmony with ma
turc. Gray hair is honorable; that
which is dyed is an determination be-
fore the Lord. Cultivate thankfulness
and checrfuness. An ounce of good
cheer is worth Il pound of melancholy

E. Becker, foreman of the Big Minook hydraulic works, was acci- dentally hurt last week. A ditch was being constructed parallel with the creek at point where the creek bank is high. MT. Becker went to the creek unknown to the work men. and a piece of frozen muck cast over the bank struck him on the head and laid his scalp open. The force of the blow almost sent him into the water. which would have drowned him. for it was both swift and deep. MT. Becker scram- bled up the bank and his appear ance all covered with blood was the first intimation that anything was wrong. Manager Koonee took a few stitches iu the wound with a sailmakef's needle and a fishing suell. aud Mfr. Becker was soon all right again.

 Spoken to today regarding the matter, MT. c. w. Chilson. layman ill charge, said that some time ago he had rendered his resignation to the bishop, and that in all proba- bility it will be accepted. Word from the bishop bearing on the matter is expected at any time. MT. Chilson is young man of ; recognized ability; but under his ministration there has been a lack of harmony among church people here, and it is doubtless this fact that has influenced him to offer his resignation.
 Some time ago it was talked that Rev. J. E. Huhn, now of Fair banks, was desirous of returning to St. Andrews in case of vacancy here; but of course nothing is deh- nitely known yet-not even that MT. Chilson will not remain.
