HOW TO TAKE A VACATION.

It Is hard for the active man of af- fairs to give up completely in summer and relax for eleven-twelfths of the year he holds his fingers on the keys of the machine that runs his business. He carries scores of matters in mind at once, does his work with system and dispatch and meets his obligations promptly, taking full advantage of ev- cry trade opportunity and every pro- fessional chance. When the time comes to rest he finds the change per- haps too sudden, and he goes reluct- antly and carries with him some rem- nant of his anxieties. To check this tendency he should get into some active ocupation when he takes his va cation. The fisherman or the hunter has such a pursuit, which excludes all other thoughts but those that bear upon his sport. The amateur farmer Is kept busy attending to his crops and stack. The man who takes to the road, walking or driving though the country to get in touch with new peo- people and to see strange places, has little opportunity to think about home matters, if he enters properly into the spirit of his outing. There Is something stimulating in every days experiences, and all days are restful in such circumstances-Wa Washington Star.
