FOR THE NERVES.

Ours is an age when we give our
nerves but very poor chance.
Half the time our bodies are taking
their revenge upon them for over
strain. The happiness of many a
home is tampered with because the
over-wrought one becomes irritable
and erratic through nervous exhaus-
tion. No moment of rest, no relaxa-
ton. It may be from necessary labor
to make both ends meet; it may be
the ceaseless toll and strain for social
prestige. 1t means the same thing
burning the candle at both ends.
If taken in the beginning it is easily
managed. After a while 1t grows
almost beyond our control or that of
a physician.
But it can be cured, no matter how
bad, and it can be forestalled. First
of all, when you feel exhausted, no
matter when or where, stop-rest five
minutes. 1t will often save you years
of suffering. A moment in the nick
of time is worth hours afterwards.
If strictly observed the following
will prove efectual- but be persistent.
Go to bed as early as possible, rise
early, but get eight hours sleep.
Throw open the window, and in a
warm, loose robe breathe deeply,
slowly, during twenty counts then
take vigorously simple gymnastic
exercise for ten minutes.
Then sponge off with tepid, then
cold water, into which throw hand
full of sa1t.-Ame,icam CMltiy0tor.

Mrs. Johnson saw Mr.. Wattersen
drive past the house for the first time
since the tiff" She also saw that
he took notice of things out of tie
corner of his eye and seemed in no
hurry to get out of sight. She knew
that Hetty hadn't seen him, and
with look of childish innocence on
her face she waited ten minutes and
then said to the girl:
"Hetty, you remember that Mrs.
Bascomb borrowed my best fatiron
last week and hasn't brought it back.
Don't you want to take a walk down
there and bring it home? Tell her I
didn't have quinsy sore throat, as I
thought to have"
Down there" was three-quarters
of mile down to the next farm
house. Hetty had dressed for the
afternoon and looked as sweet as
peach ahd as she set out the mother
ran upstairs to the garret window,
from whence she could survey every
foot OF the road. After one glance
she hanled in her head and said:
"Mi. Watterson had turned around
and is coming back, and they are
bound 10 meet at the crab apple tree.
Providence will take care of the rest. 7"
She had not been downstairs ten
minuteswhen things began to happen.
The husband was working down in
the turnip field, and Mr.. Meeker had
gone there an hour ago. All of
sudden the farmer came clumping in
over the clean floor to exclaim
''Well, ma, what'd l tell you?
The hero and the millionaire wants
to become our son-in law. He's in
love with Hety, and he wants to
to stay on and wa her heart. He'll
wire fence the farm for half price.
and he thinks he can get me $50 off
the price of windmill. I've given
my consent to the marriage, but he
wants to know what you think of it.
The wife had her mouth open to
reply when the knocker sounded on
the frort door, and woman was in
waiting to ask if Mr.. Meeker was
stopping there. The question had
hardly been answered then second
and a third drove up, and the last
announced that the wire fence man
was skating for the woods. Each of
the three claimed him for her hero
and the millionaire husband, and all
were talking at once and berating
each other when Hetty and Mr.. Wat
terson quitely entered, and the latter
as quietly said"
"Mr. Johnson, I have the honor
of asking your consent to the mar
riage with your daughter"
1t was several hours later, when
calm had settled down and Farmer
johnson was doing the milking, that
he muttered to himself:
''Ho, now, but what you about,
you one horned critter Dang it, but
1 can't help but think of that ere
Meeker and that ere Watterson and
the old woman and Hettyrand the
three wives | There's another, but

ERRORS OF SPEECH.

The verb "to get" is one of our
much misused words. 1t means to
acquire, win, obtain, and primarily
it signifies the putting forth of effort
to attain something. Consequently
it is not only superhuous, but incor-
rect, to speak of man as getting
drowned" or getting SICK" and
you may unfortunately "have cold"
but it is impossible that you "have
got cold." At this moment no ex-
ceptions occurred to the writer to the
rule that got should never be used
in connection with have, which alone
sufficiently expresses possession. Say,
81 have the picture" not II have
got the picture" 1.-The dog has a
broken leg" not, "The dog has got
a broken leg"
The irregular verb lay and lie are
frequently confounded. Lay is an
active or transitive verb, and lie pas
sive or intransitive. We lay things
down or have laid them down, but
and things lie at rest. Lie down,
have lain down, will lie down or are
lying down; she lay down yesterday
and is going to lie down this after
noon.
A frequent error is to confound the
past tense of these verbs. One should
say "Mary laid down the book on
the table and lay down herself" but
the book lies on the able.-PaaOtuek-
ct Gazette.

One winter when Thaddeus Ste
vens had come back to his Vermont
home he was the victim of severe
cold and could not leave the house for
many weeks. One of his callers was
Lewis Clark, man of short stature,
who in earlier days had been play
mate of the "Old Commoner," and
was a near neighbor of the Stevens
family in their Peacham home.
Vermonters had just begun to wear
buffalo coats, and Mr.. Clark arrived
at the Stevens home almost lost in a
coat which reached to the ground.
His upturned collar completely COW
cred his ears and face, while a fur cap
completed the disguise.
els that you, Lewis 2" asked Mr..
Stevens in an incredulous tone.
Eyes, Thad," he replied.
"Well, skin yourself and sit down, "
exclaimed the other.
During the interesting converse
ton which followed, Mr.. Clark asked
Stevens if he wouldn't come back to
his Vermont home and live.
"No," replied Stevens. "You
have but two seasons here-winter
and late in the fall. - Harper S

THEODORE ROOSEVELT SAYS

eff there is one tendency of the
day which more than any other is
unhealthy and undesirable 1t is the
tendency to defy mere 'smartness,
unaccompanied by sense of moral ac-
countabilty. We shall never make
our republic what it should be until
as people we thoroughly understand
and put in practice the doctrine that
success is abhorrent if obtained by the
sacrifice of the fundamental principles
of morality.
"The successful man, whether in
business or in politics, who has ris-
en- by conscienceless swindling of his
neighbors, by deceit and chicanery,
by unscrupulous boldness and unscru-
pulous cunning, stands toward society
as dangerous wild beast. The mean
and cringing admiration which such
career commands among those who
think crookedly or not at all makes
this kind of success perhaps the most
dangerous of all the influences that
threaten our national life. Our STAN
dard of public and private conduct
will never be raised to the proper lev
el until we make the scoundrel who
succeeds feel the weight of hostile
public opinion even more strongly
than the scoundrel who fails"

WHERE THE CREDIT WAS DUE.

Levi P. Morton once established
dry goods house in New York and
failed, but to his creditors he gave all
he possessed, settling for so cents on
the dollar. Years afterward he made
a great success as banker, and then
he again gave thought to those whom
he had not paid in full as merchant.
One day all his former creditors re-
ceived invitations to banquet. His
guests took their seats at the table
and as each opened his napkin found
a check for the full amount of his
claim, with interest.
Gentlemen" said Mr.. Morton,
"the one who deserves the credit tor
the-shall we say-favors of the even
ing is not your host, but the mother
who by her early influence has guild
ed him through life. My fathers
salary as the village parson was not
sufficient for all the household ex-
penses, so went to clerking in the
village store for a few dollars month.
When I brought my wages to my
mother she said
Levi, do you owe any OF this
money to anybody Yes9 Then go
at once and pay it if it takes every
dollar. If you owe money you are
not free boy.
"My emancipation tonight, gentle
men, is the direct result of that moth
er's early counsel.

HOME FINANCING.

There is one problem that domi-
mates the home-an obstructive, per-
vasive problem that ofttiu1es fills the
whole horizon of life-one that, like
Banquo's ghost, will not down" f"
1t is the ever present question OF
home financing. When we mastered
the Ito have" the problem of the
''to hold" confronts us. 1t is the
question of providing for the home
which can never be properly answered
until we realized that provide" is a
verb that should ever be corrugated
in two lenses, present and future.
There is in our American life too
often blind optimism in living up
to an income, in assuming that be-
cause the sun of prosperity shines
warmly today there is no need ofpro-
viding umbrellas for possible rainy
tomorrow. Those who wisely live
within an income rarely have to face
the problem of trying to live without
one. There are two simple guaran-
tees against future poverty and de-
pendance on others, two great safe
guards for home and family-a bank
book and an insurance policy. They
represent the material defense OF the
home, a bulwark of loves forethought
standing strong and firm in the hour
of need.-DelineatOt.

CAT Wrightsville Beach, North
Carolina, great numbers of these mi
grating birds gathered the summer
of 1905, and chose as their nightly
roosting place the grove of summer
hotel. The proprietor, wishing to
rid himself of them, invited a number
Of his neighbors, who, lying in wait
for the birds, fired into trees and con-
tinued to shoot until the ground was
literally covered with the dead and
dying birds, and for days after wound
ed martins could be found fluttering
about the neighboring lawns and road
sides. Estimates of the number of
birds killed was from s 900 to IS, 900.
Upon hearing of this tragic violation
of the law the North Carolina Audit
bon Society sent a warden to prose-
cute the offending parties, twelve of
whom were convicted and fined in a
local court. The warden, to prevent
any further futter, arranged num-
Der of tar barrels to the windward Of
the grove, and filled them in the even
ing, thus creating dense smoke,
which, drifting over the grove, drove
the birds away and they were not
seen again.
ga citizen Of the place said it had
been very noticeable that since the
appearance of martins there had been
less mosquitoes than for many years
previous, and thought that the COM
munity would never again allow these
valuable birds to be slaughtered in
that locality"
The moral of the above state
ment is this: You who love the
martin for his CHEEKY, social nature,
and his inestimable worth must do
something at once to educate those
who do not yet appreciate and value
these birds. This can be done by
reading or sending this paper to your
friends throughout this State. 1t
will help me in my work.

Deputy State Game Warden.

WHAT IS MONEY :

To the query, "What is money,
anyway" the following answers are
made:
Money is the loudest sound in the
voice of life.
Bait for the matrimonial hook.
Fuel for fun.
The one thing that makes crooked
things straight and straight things
crooked.
The most effective substitute for
brains.
The provider for everything but
happiness; a passport to everywhere
but heaven.
~ The New. York idea. ..~.-
Something that always gets the
glad hand.
Money is the most difficult root to
cultivate.
Metal often manufactured from eva
ter' in Wall street.
The best talking machine.
That which women look for while
men sleep.
A curse to some that have it and
a curse to all that haven't.
What the rich don't need and the
poor people don't get.
The breath of business.
Our private God.
The antidote to poverty.
That which speaks language that
we can all understand, but in which
so few are able to converse. .-Ex.

APPEAR AT YOUR BEST.

To be we'll and becomingly dressed
does not necessarily mean large out
lay of either time or money, neither
does it call for the latest creation"
of style or material. Often the sim.
plest and most inexpensive materials,
made up with regard to the suitable
ness of style, color and fabric, adap-
tation to the figure and to the age,
are the most becoming and effective.
A simple fve-cent calico or lawn can
be made into a very dressy and be-
coming garment, while bit of lace
or linen about the neck, and a touch
of color at the throat, combined with
dainty personal cleanliness, will make
the plainest of women attractive.
Do not be in too big hurry to
"dress according to your age," for
one will grow old fast enough, and il
is just as well to hang onto rem
nant of youth as long as one can,
even if one has to resort to simple
artificial means to accomplish it. Per.
sonal cleanliness is an adjunct to good
looks above everything else, and
woman should give proper attention
to this feature.

FoR "THE UNION"
LIES EcH0Es.
BY EDWIN HIGGINS.


Lad and maid in meadow straying,
In the glorious sunshine playing,
Their songs uplifting, glad and clear,
Are brimming full of heartfelt cheer
They scale the rugged mountain side
Where whispering zephyrs love to hide.
Skyward song echoes lightly leap,
And clOudland sleeps in love repeat;
Their words of love with sweet refrain
Then, blest of Heaven descend again;
The lad and maid to fondly greet
And nestle at their youthful feet.
The kindly sun shines all the day,
There are no clouds, love hath its sway,
In car of gold the day descends.
Light into shadows softly blends;
The stars shine down, with pearl tnlaid,
On loving lad and loving maid,
On loving man and loving wife,
To guard the pure and good In life,
The homes Of noble deeds and words
Pure and sweet as the songs of birds
There the winged echoes upward sweep
In tribute to the Masters feet.
Blest-the words of the Master came
His WondrOus words are e'er the same -
Out in the world Of toll and care
With willing hand and heart of prayer,
Sweeten with Joy the sad worlds life;
With songs OF love 60 echo's round,
Circle the globe with hallowed ground;
Shape the lives of struggling men;
Bid the fallen to rise again.
Your words and deeds with echoes sweet
VIII greet you at the judgment seat.

ARE WOMEN TRUTHFULl

The indirect methods Of woman are
sometimes source of surprise even
to her own sex.
There were two women on street
car the other day talking about this
very matter.
"Mary told dreadful fib on Mon
day." said one. "She had an engage
ment with Margaret, but when the
morning of the day came she received
a fascinating invitation to afternoon
tea which she very much wished to
accept. Now, instead of calling Mar
garet by telephone and telling her
exactly the facts in the case-and she
knows her quite well enough to do
this-she telephoned that she had
one of her dreadful headaches and
would have to ask to be released from
their arrangement.
"Later in the afternoon she dress
ed herself and went forth to the tea,
and whom should she meet not one
block from the house of her prospec-
tive hostess but Margaret And do
you think she told her the truth then ?
Not at all instead of Tossing up, her
inherent qualities manifested them
selves, and she told her her headache
was still wretched, bat that she had
heard that friend from Richmond
was in town merely for the day, and
she had forced herself to get out of
bed and go to see her. Well, an
hour later Margaret happened in at
the tea-and now the twain doesn't
speak"
"I know all about it," said the COM
panion of the woman who was rela-
ting this thrilling tale.
"From the time girls are born they
are forced to conceal their real feelings,
are taught to dissimulate and to equiv
ocate; are instructed that they must
make themselves interesting at any
cost, until they just naturally en-
broider the simplest tale"
Nonsense I know lot of women
who are regular George Washing
tons. Mary is horrible and unnat-
ural example of usually truthful
sex," protested her companion.
"That hasn't been my experience,
replied the other woman, dryly.

J0NAH's WHALE.

That the Biblical account of Jonah
and the whale is not imaginary was
the point of an address delivered by
Prof. Paul Haupt of Johns Hopkins
University in Baltimore, before. the
American Philosophical Society, Phil
adelphia, few days ago. The title
of his address was "On Jonah S
Whale.''
Prof. Haupt began by saying that
in the Gospel of Matthew Jesus did
not make use of the story in such a
way as to become authority for the
literal truth of Jonah's story. He
declared that despite the contention
that the whale gullet was too small
to admit the passage of body of any
thing like the dimensions of a man,
there existed, nevertheless, the Med
iterranean sperm whale, with an orr
fee large enough to swallow animals
larger than man.
Prof. Haupt found in the record Of
the King of Asyria, 100 B. c., that
"blower with wing and teeth" was
killed at AlexaEdretta. The descrip.
ton answered perfectly to the sperm
whale and it undoubtedly had appear
ed in the Mediterranean.
