Growth Is predominantly q function
Of rest. Work IL chiefly an energy
extending and tearing-down process
says writer In the Worlds Work
Rest following work Is chiefly build
ing-up and growing process Work
may furnish the conditions under
which subsequent growth may occur,
but in itself it is destructive, BY
work we do things in the world, but
we do not grow by work We grow
during rest Rest is not the only con.
dition Of growth, but it is one Of the
essential conditions.
The Best work that most OF US do Is
not begun IN our ofices or at our
desks, but when we are wandering in
the woods or sitting quietly with un-
directed thoughts. From somewhere
at such times there flash into our
minds those ideas that direct and CON
troll our lives, visions Of how to do
that which previously had seemed
impossible, new aspirations, hopes
and desires. Work is the process Of
realization. The careful balance and
the great ideas come largely during
quiet, and without being sought. The
man who never takes time to do moth
ing will hardly do great things. He
win hardly have epoch-making ideas
or stimulating ideas.

Philippine Bats.

Among the curious inhabitants Of
the Philippines, according to Prof
Clinton, Of Washington. are fruit
eating bats, some Of which are nearly
as large as cats, with wings three
feet In extent.
During the day these curious crea-
lures remain hanging from the
branches Of trees in roosting places,
where they congregate by the hun.
dreds. They avoid the thtick forests,
and sometimes roost in lone tree on
the plains.
At twilight they become animated
and attack the fruit orchards and
cocoanut groves. They are fond Of
the juice from which the natives
make tuba, or palm beer, and drink
it from the bamboo cups in which it
has been collected Sometimes the
juice has begun to ferment, and then
the bats are intoxicated by it, and
fall helpless upon the ground, to be
killed by their enemies In the morn

A very distinct advantage about
motoring is that 1t does not give one
an appetite. Most open-air exercise
sends one home az hungry as hunt
or: and Il one eats largely in these
days Of strict regime and unrestrict-
cd diet. All sorts Of terrible things are
sure to happen-at least are prom
ised by the doctor. It Is pointed out
n q contemporary that while all the
good effects Of working up an appe-
ute are produced by long drive IN
a motor, yet the amount Of food re-
CURED to satisfy what seems to Be
ones huge hunger is actually very
small. The air itself feeds one. and
air neither upsets ones digestive ap-
paratus nor does Il supply one with
adipose tissue.

NOT MERE BRICKS AND MORTAR
Streets Made Up Of Human Beings
and Light and Air.

Streets are commonly supposed ia
be made OF bricks and mortar, but
as a matter OF fact these materials
only go to supply the background.
Streets are really made OF human be,
ings, ana light and air--especially
human beings. remember proving
once at midnight in Moorish town,
and getting well lost for my pains.
The deserted streets, which seemed
to hate following q straight line for
more than couple of hundred feet,
were picturesque enough with the
moonlight breaking their darkness
here and there; but they were really
expressionless until, turning the cor
ner, nearly stumbled against a
stalwart Moor who stood leaning mo-
tionless upon his musket. There was
something about his dress and atti-
tude that seemed almost too good to
be true; for moment he wore the
air of theatrical episode, as though
he had been deliberately Staged"
there to give my western eyes new
sensation. But how the pure human
nature of him transformed the dreary
street, To lost traveller he changed
the whole face Of things in an instant.
A picture of that street without him
would have been nothing more than
a conventional picture OF light ana
shade. MY turbaned sentinel filled it
with vitality and interest The point
needs no emphasis, yet 1t is interest
ing to consider how one is perpetually
coming back to it, disregardful Of that
background of which we are all in
clined, and not professionally inclined.
