I" Exercise and Rest"

What is the relation between exer-
else and rest? Work is that at which
we must continue, whether interesting
or not, whether we are tired or not.
It used to be thought that the prime
requisite of rest was the use Of facul-
ties other than those involved in the
labor of the day. But there is such a
thing as fatigue which goes deeper
than daily work. We can work so
hard as to become exhausted-too ex-
hausted for any kind of work. Per
haps this is will fatigue. It is coming
to be regarded as fundamentally true
that rest from such fatigue demands
continuity; that, for, example, four pc
RODS of fifteen minutes each Of rest is
not the equivalent of one hours rest;
that man who goes on vacation
and takes half an hour of his business
work every day is doing the same
thing as the man who had a horse
with sore back. He kept the saddle
on only few minutes each day, but
the sore did not have a chance to heal.
Rest periods must be sufficiently con-
secutive to overcome consecutive ia

Ready Reply Of Ragged Turk to a
Scot In kits.
During the troubles at Crete in 1897
the Seaforth highlanders were landed
to help to restore order. Their advent,
dressed in the familiar kits, created a
great sensation, as the natives, who
themselves wear kind Of kilt, had
never seen British soldiers in such a
costume.
An amusing incident occurred one
day when party Of Seaforths were
marching through small, wretched
looking village. AS usual, the inhabit-
ants turned out to stare at the SOL
diers, and one of the highlanders with
view to raising laugh among his
comrades shouted out to a group Of
Turks, "Gae hame, We dirty black
guards, an scrub yersels."
Imagine his establishment as we'll as
that Of the remainder of the highland
ers when a ragged and evil looking
Turk shouted back in reply, "Go home
yourself, Scottish dog, and cover your
self up!' 1t was afterward discovered
that this Mohammedan had spent sew
eral years in London and so learned
the language. - From Anecdotes

Oratorical Effects.

1 once heard Everett, whose plat
form oratory was the acme of Ameri-
can art. His language was unimpeach-
able. But his every word, and not
only his every word, but his every
gesture, was Enthusiastically prepared.
He seemed to gesticulate not only
with his hands, but with his legs. He
even planned scenic effects beforehand.
Having to deliver a Fourth Of July
grafton, he introduced veteran of
1872, put him in a conspicuous place
and told the old man to rise to him
at his entrance into the hall. The old
man did as he had been hidden. Ev-
erett apostrophized him with "Vener-
able old man, sit down! 1t is not for
you to rise to us, but for us to rise to
you" The veteran said afterward:
"Mr. Everett is a strange man. He
told me to rise when he came into the
hall, and when did rise he told me to
sit down. From Goodwin Smiths

Tho Liqhtninq Rod.

Though Franklin will continue to
receive the honor that is his due as
the inventor of the first practical light
ming rod, the study Of atmospheric
electricity goes back at least to the
time of Tullius Hostilius, who persisted
in an attempt to draw fire from the
sky" A learned priest of the name of
Divisch is said to have erected the
first lightning conductor in Europe.
He set it up ut Prendiz, Bohemia, in
1854, and it was 100 feet high. Though
the Emperor Stephen and the Empress
Maria Theresa publicly proclaimed
their confidence in the inventor,
most disastrous drought that afflicted
the country a year later was ascribed
by the superstitious populace to the
newfangled device, and Divisch was
compelled to take it down. 1t is not
probable that Franklin was acquaint
ed with Divisch's experiment.

The Voice

Once a king had a daughter whom
he dearly loved She had always
been brought up very sensibly, in spite
of her being a princess. and had been
taught how to dress herself and how
to do up her own hair without the
help Of a lady's maid. And her habit
was, after she had dressed in the
morning. to 60 into the garden to get
a breath of fragrant air before break
fast and to gather flower to place in
her hair
One day, when she was in the gar
den, she heard a voice saying:
How will you have your troubles
when you are young or when you are
old?"
This happened several times and
the princess, filled with curiosity and
tired Of hearing always the same ques-
ton, went one day into the palace and
said to her maid of honor:
do you know what has happened
to me these last few days? | keep
hearing a voice that says TO me, when
am gathering my flowers, Which
will you do; go through your troubles
in your youth. or In your old age?"
The maid of honor replied:
Listen. royal lady For my part,
should say that | preferred having
my troubles when young. With my
old age | would acquire more power"
The princess combed and dressed
herself the next morning and went
into the garden as usual, where she
heard the voice that spoke to her;
and when it asked her the curious
question, the princess replied that she
would rather go through her troubles
in her youth than in her old age.
The voice rejoined
Take leave, then, of everything
here that is yours"
THAT is not so difficult" said the
princess.

he related story of the capture
of an African lion in his native
forest.
III. g. Brashear, the purchasing
agent of the show, made a trip to
Africa to try to secure some wild
animals for the menagerie. While
there the natives told him Of a
male lion that had evaded capture
for 4 years. Mr.. Brashear imme-
diately offered d large sum for the
capture Of the animal and the ma
tives began at once to plan how to
secure the reward.
First, large circular pit was
dug about Is feet deep. and all the
dirt from the excavation was care
fully carried away, as lion is very.
suspicious. The hole was then
thoroughly covered with light brush
and grass. and made to appear as ii
the ground had never been touched.
The next step was to secure some
object, tempting enough to attract
Mr.. Lion to the place. A live lamb
was bought and hung by string
cord from the limb of a tree that
reached out over the covered pit.
All these preparations were made
late in the evening.
That night the monarch of the
forest, while stalking for prey,
heard the lamb bIeating and made
d spring for it; catching it, Of
course the string broke. and the
lion and lamb both went crashing
down into the pit.
AT daybreaK the natives brought
q large net which they threw down
over the lion id the pit. In his
rage at being caught, and his
efforts to claw his way free from
the net covering him. he only got
more tangled up iii it. till at last
he was SO thoroughly enmeshed
that the natives had little trouble

and he was q captive.
