The farmer was unhurt but very

happened in England in 1883.
The president of the road sent for
George Stephenson, and said angrily:
Our engineers can't blow their horns

You have made your steam do so

a good loud horn for us?'
Stephenson pondered An idea came

Strenuous Life Danuerous,

A warning is uttered by the Prac-
t1tioner against the dangers of the
strenuous life. 1T is good to be siren.
uous, tits averred, but it is also good,
as the poet tells us, to play the fool
or, at any rate, to be idle at the right
time and in the right way. This Is
just what the strenuous man forgets
and the consequence is too often
premature breakdown "a common
event in the storm and stress of mod
ern life. The strenuous life is help
ing to overcrowd our asylums. We
need to learn the incalculable value Of
rest. This consists, not in a. change
of excitement or in hard work dis.
guised as a game, but in genuine re.
pose. A man who knows how to rest
from labor will live longer and &C
complish more than one who allows
the fever Of strenuous living to fret
his mind and body to premature de-
cay.
