There Ia a clergyman in New York who
takes the tranquility cure. Once a year,
usually in the springtime, he goes down
the bay, charters a yacht and for two or
three weeks takes the rest cure. His wife
goes with him TO keep away visitors, and q
man acts as captain and cook.

have left their native lands to settle beyond
sea every year.
The greater part OF these emigrants have
adopted the United States as their country.
Several nations. in which twenty-five years
ago there was only a slight tendency TO
emigration, now show q conside IA Bile annua
loss by departures for other lands. This is
particularly true of Italy. Austria Hungary,
Russia, Spain and Portugal. In the years
between 1870 and 1880 some 10000 Italians,
5000 Russians and ! 500 Austrians or Hun
garians emigrated every year. To-day about
lee, 900 Austrians and Hunganans emigrate
TO America, 10000 Russians and $4,000
Italians. These figures are taken from
European sources. and certainly In the case
Of Italy they are too low. .
Spanish emigration has also Increased
co considerably since 1880. and amounts to-day
TO 0 1000 q year. Little Portug gal sends outfrom
20. 900 TO rs. 900 Of her people annually
The English and Scandinavian emigration
has changed very little In the last ten years.
German emigration has heavily declined.
Between 1870 and 1890 the number OF German
emigrants each year exceeded 100000 tmaxi-
mum OF 22i 900 In 1851. but since 1898 the
number has fallen Of very much. and to-day
only about $4,000 Germans annually leave
their native land. The present commercial
development OF Germany. no doubt ex-
plains the change. In Switzerland the con.
ditions are similar. In 1883 the annual emiRra-

sensible person can wear green or sur
round herself with green.
The tranquility cure Is best taken in a
white room fitted out with blue. This
makes one exceedingly quiet and inclined
TO be rested. 1t paves the way for tran
gull thoughts
The woman who takes the tranquility
curs must give her mind food. She must
read; she must think. she must sleep, she
must ed, britain herself with things that are
OF the Nefld. but she must not let herself
get nervSus,
Learning to think Of nothing at ell Is part
Of the cure. 1t is really only a matter Of
practice, this trick of thinking Of nothing
at all. 1t is easily learned.
The diet should be hearty and nourlshing,
but not too heavy. Sweets In excess are as
bad as meat In excess. The meals should
be rather light and limited to two or three
dishes.
There is a woman who Is Interested In
miniatures. She takes a week Of the rest

The woman then went to the newsstand
and ordered the daily papers; she sent a
supply Of magazines to her room. Then,
visiting the dining room, she asked for a
bill Of fare. and inside Of half an hour she
had laid out her menu for a whole week.

The tranquility cure Is a little different
from the rest cure. It does not consist
in merely resting the body, but the mind
must be tranquilllzed at the same time.
This means surrounding oneself with tran
Gull colors and with all things that tend TO
tranquillize the thought.

Listen TO sweet sounds. sounds that

Rain beating upon a roof acts like a sleep

at sea will send a person to sleep; the
tapping Of the branches upon the roof
these are rural sounds that help in the tran

Don't try TO count the waves, don't
keep tab of the sounds, don't allow your
self TO grow interested in anything; rest.
This Is the one law for those who are study

The tranquil color for an excitable Wall

adds TO her miniature collection. The get
ting of the collection together is all mapped
out during the week of the rest cure.
1T acts like a tonic upon me-" she says.
1T is a whole week Of doing just exactly
as | want to oo."
Doing just as you want TO do is part of
the tranquility cure. In the world there
are few people who do just as they want
to do. There are always others who must
be considered. But In taking the tran
quillity cure it is a rule that you mustdo just
as YOU please.
Do what you want TO do,
Eat what you want. to eat.
Sleep when you van TO sleep.
Rest when you want to rest
Work when you want to work.
Get up when you want 20 get up n retire
at the same convenient hour. These are
just a. few Of the delights OF those who take
the tranquility cure.
TIL tranquility cure can be taken with
out spending much money. The woman
who takes expensive apartments in q fash
ionable hotel. hiring rooms all around her
in order that she may not be disturbed
by her neiRhbors, finds the tranquility
cure a costly one. But II can be done on
less.
There Is a Boston writer who invariably
comes to New York. the city Of noises. the
town that is never finished. 10 take her

There isA woman in New York who takes
