The Best Nervine.

To sleep out of doors for month
is better than a trip to Europe. In
this climate one must have a roof, of
course, but any piazza that is open to
serve as a bedroom; and the gain in
happiness is unbelievable. With an
abundant supply of good air the sleep
soon grows normal, deep and I'M
troubled and refreshing. so that we
open our eyes upon the world as glad
" as a hunter or any pagan shep-
herd in the morning of the world. We
grow anxious and clustered and har-
ried with distractions; the COLLINS of
worry becomes an inseparable COM
panion, and we groan in spirit that the
universe is all awry, when in truth
half dozen deep breaths of clean air
would lend a different complexion to
life. Our anxieties are nearly all al.
tif1cial, and are bred indoors, under
the sitting oppression of walls and
roofs and the maddening clangor of
pavements, and day IN. the open will
often dispel them like a mist.-Bliss

were able to please everybody? We
now have in Hays the best mayor and
five of the best councilmen the city
has eyer had and yet only last Satur-
day we heard a couple knockers who
had their little hammers out knocking
at the administration because thew
were doing the city the most good in
ordering wooden awnings removed on
the principal business streets. Go
bury your little hammer if you are in
the habit of opposing all these move
ments for the upbuilding of our little

ment for these officials, who, it must
be remembered, receive no pay what
