THE BENEFIT OF CHANGE.

One of the worst foes of human
life is monotony The whole human
being, body and soul, rebels against
it, After long residence in one place
the blood begins to run sluggishly;
the appetite fails, the mind becomes
dull and the feelings Supplied. Mind
and body act and react upon one an
other. Every physician recognizes the
1 value of change not only the change
Of air aud diet. but change of sur
r1undings, as a medicine for the sick.
/ Change Of scene stimulates the mind
and heart to activity, and these re-
acting on the body rouse 1t to great
! er vitality and effort, until the whole
system is renovated.
It is the mother of household
whose life Is chiefly threatened by
monotony She stays at home. She
Is always in the house seeing the
same things, hearing the same voices,
doing the same work day after day,
with endless regularity. The demands
upon her time and strength and love
and patience are increasing and the
wonder Is that she does not break
down more frequently than is actual
" the case. The fact occurs too
often, and in such cases an ounce of
prevention is worth many pounds Of
cure.

low-eyed and weary; when she wakes

graceful deed occurred on Big Hurri-

her way to milk she was trespassed
upon by Steve Stapleton. She man
aged to get loose from him and ran
back to her fathers. She would not
tell who it was until next morning
for fear that while the excitement
was so great that the boy would be
murdered. The next morning she told

Rigg. He gave bond for appearance

tried to scare her. 2

Have you ever tried to picture

the mountains of Canada and this

SHOWS of Rockies and Cascades and
Selkirk glaciers, no wonder 1t
moves with increasing volume un-
til, after it has passed the last
mountain barrier, it seems like
great arm of the sea.
What story of conflicts passed,

and finally in pent up energy as it
squeezes through the narrow rock

tickled by the breath of myriad
flowers. What refuge for weary
nerves!
And do you recollect noting in

increase until the inhabitants will
exclaim, Surely, nobody ever
