The Illusion of Beina Busy.

A ridiculous notion Is common that
we live in time when there are more
important world affairs on hand than
have ever been known before, and
there are silly people, both men and
women, who expect to be admired for
a useless expenditure of their nervous
and physical energies on all sorts of
absolutely foolish objects into which
no particle OF intellect enters. Sim
ply to be always busy, always occu-
pied, always doing something, passing
restlessly from one piece of work to
another, to have their hands full, nev-
er to be idle, as they say, seems to be
their ideal life.
These precious muddlers, who plume
themselves on never being idle, pass
their time doing useless things under
the pretext Of being busy, and they
assume credit for a purposeless ac.
tivity. The biggest people, those who
have really thought out their plan
of life, do not make the mistake Of
doing what need not be done. They
have time for everything because they
do not imagine they are economizing
time by occupying every few spare
minutes in being unnecessarily busy.

M r. WILKINS.

Mr.. wilkins had a dollar, so he said he

Then Gray, not being grateful, said. 1T

Then McAfee felt ugly. and he took a
whack at Smart,
Who passed 1t on to Thomson, who passed
it on to Hart
And so no act of kindness was done through
all that day.
But many an act that ranked In most

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children !; it ruins a child's disposi-
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills OF women act like fircbrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous pros t,raticI, ner-
vous dependency. "the blues sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
OF the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
Ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound |;
pain in the ovaries, and especially
between the shoulders bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost
continually cross and snappyp
II so, your ner'es are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.

the world is better for nervous prostra-
tion than Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou

Miss McGarry has several acquaint-

She was promptly. put off under the

Miss McGarry's courage simply ros'
