EvEN the brain and nerves share In
II the benefits derived from muscular
training When a muscle contracts, u is
in obedience TO impulses originated III
the brain and sent to the muscles aiong
a nerve trunk Hence, muscular exercise
also implies exercise of the brain ana
| nerves The same law which induces
muscular growth as the result OF exer-
| else, applies also to the exercise OF braln
and nerves. Hence, muscular exercise
| instead of detracting from mental de-
velopment as might be supposed, ac-
tually encourages the development OF
the brain and, other things being equal
increases its capacity and efiiciency.
This is undoubtedly the reason why
muscular exercise has so marked an
effect in steadying the nerves, giving one
self-command, mental eduipoise ana
readiness. Nothing so we'll prepares one
for promptness of action In emergencies
as thorough training of the muscles.
The derivative effect of muscular ex-
ercise renders It one of the most Ell
fcient means of counteracting the ef-
| fects of laborious mental occupation and
such employments as are likely to cause
an excessive flow Of blood to the brain.
When the muscles are active they are
capable of containing a much larger
proportion of blood than when they are
idle. and thus drain 1t away from the
brain and nerve centers, which, through
excessive and prolonged activity, may
have become congested and surcharged
with blood
On this account, regular, systematic
exercise is of the greatest value to STU
dents and 70 professional men. Thou
sands of men break down before COM
pleting their education, or just after
graduation, and thousands of clergy
men. lawyers. professors and other
brain workers make disastrous failures
\ In consequence of the onset of some
nervous disorder which might have been
entirely prevented II the brain had been
cooled and rested by regular systematic
exercise.
| Exercise, to be really valuable, should
be systematic; that Is. II must be taken
in such a way as to bring into play all
the muscles of the body in a natural and
symmetrical manner, or. In case the
exercise is taken to correct deformites,
or special weaknesses, It should be such
as will be best calculated TO accomplish
the desired end.
Exercise must be taken regularly. The
way most business men take their exer-
else. going off on a hunting expedition
| once year for one or two weeks, or
now and then taking a very long walk
or a tiresome rowing excursion. Is not
calculated to strengthen the muscles
but rather to make them sore and stiff
and to discourage efforts in this direc'
ton.
Exercise should be taken daily. The
system requires its daily dose Of mus
cular exercise as much as Its daily por.
ton of food, and II would be quite as

These Shall Prevail

War laid bugle TO his lips, blew one
blast--and then
The seas answered him with ships, the
earth with men.
Straight, Death caught his sickle up,
called his reapers grim,
Famine with his empty cup came after
him.
Down the stairs of Paradise hastened
angels three,
Pity and Self-Sacrifice and Charity.
Where the curved, black sickles sweep,
where pale Famine cllngs.
Where gaunt women watch and weep,
come these of wings.
When the red wrath perisheth, when
the dulled swords fail,
These three who have walked with
Death-these shall prevail
He'll bade all it's millions rise; Para
disc sends three;
Pity and Self-Sacrifice and Charity.
-Theodosia Garrison.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The Appendix

ROY L. b.
The appendix is only part Of the glan-
dular structure of the colon. Down in
the colon when the material comes in
from the small intestine there are a great
number Of mucous glands. among them
big one that forms a large amount Of
mucus, which lubricates the intestine
and so protects It from irritation. Tho
appendix is simply a part of the CLAM
dular structure of the cecum that is
protective.

But II the hair is dry the best remedy Is
to battle the scalp with a little cold
water. Dip the fingers in cold water
and rub the scalp vigorously and the
effect will be to stimulate the flow Of
blood through the scalp and cause the
scalp to make more fat and then the
hair will be oily Aside from this a very
