Rest in Idleness.


1t is doubtful whether there is such
thing as rest in idleness; the real rest
consists not in the lack but in the
change of occupation. If i'm their frantic
headlong hurry-scurry the devotees OF
pleasure could find a place to be at
peace-if one ever saw them sit with
folded hands utterly content with the
absence OF all titillative excitement or
incitement-it might then be conceded
that there is such thing AS rest in
ideness for the deyotees OF pleasure.
But no. they must be necessarily ION
the 60. their pleasure must be served,
like the delicacies of the seaside caterer.
fresh every hour and piping hot; they
think the day wasted whose late rising
is not linked to the wee, small hours
of the night. followed by an incessant
chain of complex and costly diversions.
One would think that most of the rest
ing, in this toiiful scheme Of our human
existence. would be done by those who
have plenty of time but the very folk
who have nothing to do are always the
ones who have no time to do anything,
and the men and women who have the
most to do seem to be the only ones who
have time to do something more. III is
one of the commonplace of obserya-
ton that il is the busy bee and not the
drone who is to be relied upon to turn
something attempted into something
done The idle people are always the
most restless of all. because. in default
of any business. they roam to and fro.
like young lions that suffer hunger. in
search of something they cannot define:
they could not tell you what it is they
want and even IL they did know and
were given what they asked for. they
would promptly throw it away and reach
out for something ese-like a baby that
throws down instantly the toy for which
1t has cried and held out its arms in
sistently.

The Lack Of Farm Labor.
9 Charleston News and Courier.

From the Charleston News ana Courier.
Secretary Wilson's belief that the high

and confirmed by his observations during
his recent journey through the west. 1t
is to be doubted, however, whether the
troubles of the consumer are due en-
tirely. or even mainly. to the conditions
which Mr.. Wilson assigns as the cause
of these troubles, since the monopolies
which have been effected in practically
every important industry are certainly
largely responsible for the high prices of
the necessares of life. Nevertheless, the
evil which Mr.. Wilson points oC is evil

The answer is that there was a time

material served for a headpiece. The
reason the bow was always placed
