TIME TO PLAY.

A philosop phicnl observer notes with touch
OF humor that many people do not stop to
think what is the difference between weeds
and vegetables. Most of us would say on first
thought that weeds arc Injurious vegetables
but that only partly covers tho case. FOR things
which are Injurious at some times and In some
places are beneficial In others. The true dcfini-
tion is that weeds vegetables that grow
voluntarily whore they are not wanted while
what we call vegetables are those which
planted by human agency for the purpose OF
producing what wants
Tho same kind OF definition is applicable TO
tho difference between work and play. Physical
ly there IL no difference rha difference is In tho
object In view. Play that Is done with the object
OF doing something useful or productive II roal-
ly work. while work TINT In done for the love
OF occupation or without expectation of prac-
teal benefit is play. And the philosopher tolls
us that the character OF u people can be told
from the way It plays Tho manner Of amuse-
mont which interests people and the fashion
In which they go at It is good index Of tho
habit OF thought of that people There ma
tions which celebrate whole -honrtcdly and with
cheerful disregard OF circumstances or results.
There others who go at the process of
getting amusement In a sober. laborious way.
Inc hHi'li'un ptoplt as u Tulc play moro
as IL II were task set them. or a medicine
to be taken on the doctors prescription. Many
OF them go through the motions and make
believe they are playing when In fact their
hearts are far away In the shop or counting
room. Their vacations are spent ms a species
of routine and they come back wearied but with
the serene consciousness of having done some
thing that was expected OF them.
For genuine play let us take pattern from
the children. Their method is an abandon
10 tho pleasure of the present moment. This Is
tho way In which play is beneficial Modern
methods have interfered to direct play OF chill
| dren, doing away with lost motion and giving
| the Riddles under prctense OF amusement use
| full lessons In life. As for old folks we work
hard at our play and more concerned about
| doing what the majority expects OF us than In
obtaining real benefit from relaxation In fact
We hardly ever relax We Just work hard and
call It play Yet 1t liz a benefit to the race even
to do this much, Just witness the abandon OF
baseball crowd and you will tho nearest
real play that the American citizen ordinarily
permits himself TO indulge In.

NOTHING LIKE WATER.

The days OF real sport are dear enough in
the minds OF the people to he n popular subject
Of cartoons and they hit the spot every time.
The old swimming hole IL the favorite aftor all
and re.oponH fond memories In every mans
breast, The coming In fun force OF hot weather
has started the hegira to swimming pool and
lake and the welcome news Is that owen park
AXE will be reconstructed and niade to behave
itself that the aauatically inclined can take
their ablutions without trip OF miles for the
purpose. The bath tub is a great invention and
the swimming pool II great boon to many
who would otherwise be denied the pleasure of
contact with the water and the instruction In
the art OF saving life.
Bathing suits are much In demand. In spite
Of all puranicai and fncky restrictions OF the
purists who would have swim fully clothed
or nearly SO, the tendency all the time Is toward
less encumhrance in tho water, People who
have to wear clothes to swim, says the Omaha
Bee, have lost two-thirds ot tho Joy OF swim
ming, In our swimming days, says the Bcc, a
bathing suit a thing unknown, We went
down to the river the creek in the alto
gcther after tho preliminary rites had been
observed. To go into the water clothed would
have been thought a disgrace and branded the
offender good as mollycoddle OF the first
water.
Alongside the clay banks above ono broad
beach much frequentcd by the boys OF the
village where we were born were clumps of
trees and bushes whoreto humble bees attached
their mud nests. A feud existed between boys
and bees and frequent battles occurred, the
boys using paddles made OF pine shingles. No
lad who hositated to enter an engagement with
the enemy while stark naked was In good repute
with his fellows Many sun-browncd hoy have
we seen rushing to the cooling water with a
howl OF pain when angry bee sunk his white
hot tavelin into some tender spot, oh, to be
a boy again and live life over

Conflicting influences rule ,b,.
day, according to sstrology, making
II uncertain and disturbing. WhNs
saturn and Mercury are In benero
aspect. Neptune and Jupiter are
strongly adverse.
While this sway prevails writing
OF all sorts is well governed and lets
ters should be most profitable IL sent
with view to personal benefit.
Saturn Is In place that brings
an access OF power to the old, giving
them the respect OF persons OF ali
ages.
During this rule the counsel Of
men long leaders OF thought viii
| have weight, but they will be
prejudiced and biased since Neptune
Is in an aspect that gives distorted
views, especially on questions Of pub
| Tic policy.
For two years the stars have been
read as presaging great sur
prises In the course OF the first years
OF the new era. These will develop
In the domain OF religion. politics
and science.
| Churches are subject to helpful in
fluences today, making for large Or
ganiZation and world-w effort.
| Since the law of extremes works
Mt all times, religious difficulties,
dissensions and schisms may occufat
the very time that union of inter-
ests is brought about.
Warning is given that hostile
forces will be let loose at this time,
some OF these being supported by
immense stores of wealth.
| The ingress of the summer quar-
ter on the cusp OF the eighth house
In trine with Uranus Is believed to
indicate lighter taxation and agita-
tion concerning the tariff.
Again immense expenditures of
public money are foretold and much
public anxiety and agitation are in
dicated.
Theft and burglaries will be even
more prevalent during the coming
weeks than they have been in tho
past.
Persons whose birth date II is
have the augury of rather n quiet
year. Business should prosper with

| Children born on this day are
