Health.

The body has rights, and we have duties toward it. The body is the life long companion of the mind, and it cannot be unimportant how 1t Is treated
 One unbridled passion is enough to destroy the beauty of life One excess. If 1t does no more, can mar the grace and harmony of the whole He that striveth for the mastery must be tenn perate in all things
 The duty of wise care for health Is bigger than merely adding to our personal happiness. To large extent It determines the efficiency of our lives Many man learns after 1t Is too late that he would have been At for better and more work if he had always preserved the sane and sensi ble bearing toward the laws of health and life which experience teaches No one in these days has any excuse for ignorance of the common prac- ticai rules of health.

Eli Whitney, inventor or the

 ago to-day December 8th) al
 Westbcrough, Worcester County,
 Mas sachusetts.
 On this anniversary, the south
 for whom he solved the problem
 that has enabled it to develop
 one of the greatest industries of
 modern times pays silent and
 reverent tribute to the memory of the modest and resourcetul
 New England school teacher who
 pointed the way to market cot
 ton proftably.
 No single American has done
 more to make his country com
 mercially eminent and prosper ous. In civilizing influence, no achievmert wrought by the ln-
 genuity of man through all the
 ages has been marked by such
 useful results to the world he enriched by his discovery or the coantrv to whose fame his genius has given enduring prestige. More wond erful than the Wlzar- dry of an alchemist or the sore cry of a master of legerdemaln is the story of the evolution of the cotton industry, to which Whitney gave life and vitality. Up to l7O3 when Whitney evolv- ed his gin, so little cotton was rais ed in the states south of Mason and Dixon's line that the British Customs officials, think ing they were being deceived by false invoice s, seized the first eight bales of it entering Liver pool from this country in 1784 on the ground that such quantity could not have been raised here in a single year.
 In the TIT years since Sl6, GOO, = COG. 0)O worth of cotton has been exported from this country. In the face of this it is difficult to that there was a time when we grew 80 little of that nov indispensable staple that it's appear 3nce in a foreign market excite suspicion.

As Whitney showed to the way for the commercial utiliza- tion of cotton with his gin, so lid Nudge with his Oxford pros asses make available for the manufacture of American linens the once valueless flax straw. In what these two ingenius have accomplished in their respective spheres there is striking analogy. With his gin, performed the work of a thousand men; with his pro-
