Take Rest In Time.

/ Rest Is mental. When the mind
wearies the body relaxes. Drudgery
is mental monotony. The climate Of
the mind loses its distinct seasons
when drudgery steals away vivacity
and variety. Idleness is not rest, but
rust. A change OF air refreshes the
whole man. What most people need
for vacation Is a new duty. not a new
climate. If you would rid yourself Of
an old trouble and escape from gall
ing condition, take up new task. In
action leads to atrophy. Rust does az
much harm as friction. There is no
reward for the idrer whether he be
rich or poor. The lazy man is seldom
an optimist. .... = 49,.

Applying Varnish With Air Spray.

!. Applying varnish With Air Spray.
Z The application of varnish by means
Of an air spray has heretofore been
attended with considerable difficulty
on account of the tendency Of the var
nish to stiffen and turn white when 1t
struck the surface being coated. This
has apparently been overcome by the
simple expedient Of putting an electric
heater in the pipe that furnishes the
compressed air for forming the spray.
With the air heated in this way the
varnish flows freely through the ori-
fees of the air brush, and dries quick
ly and smoothly. -F
