Rules to be Observed.
In this day cl hurry and rush,
brain workers have very little time
lor the muscular exercise which is so
necessary to the healthy condition ot'
both body and tuind, the latter being
dependent very largely upon the
former; and those whose work is
muscular, and requires all of the best
hours of the twenty four, find little
tune for the mental development
which is required to complement the
muscular and make a well rounded
being. \7e cannot change our life
any more than we can voluntarily
stop breathing have come into
life with cirtain cnwronments—
demands are made upen ns, and \v e
must answer these demands or eon
teut ourselves to he the parasites
which tho world justly desdiscs.
The question, then, is not one of
shirking cny of the responsibilities
under which %to find ourselves, for
they are what distinguish us from
the savage and make manhood and
civilization but it is, how can we
always meet the demands made
upon us by society, (I do not mean
fashion, hut Clod's work.) and yet
find time to carry out the laws o!
nature, which must be observed to
do an)thing quite well. Mv answer
is, in systi hu. tic work, and a proper
appreciation of minutes.
The brain-worker, for instance
who is threatened with nervous pros
tration, may gain physical strength
ly breathiug properly when walking—
inhaling the lungs full of fresh air,
as he take* a step forward, and ex
haling, always through the nostrils,
when the other foot is put forward.
Then every one, no matter how busy
be may be, can gi t a few minutes
each day for muscular exercise.
Running brings into play every
muscle in the body. Cutting wood,
pulling up water, and other work
around ths house develop the mus
cles, if a man have not access to n
gymnasium with its cross bars, weights
shower bath, etc. But the mos>
excel'ent exerciser I have Been is
b\ hit ley's. With this one max’ throw,
pull, row. swim, put the sho/, drill
stone, etc., and it can ho used l>x
women ns well as men. Exercise of
this sort should be regular above all,
and should b rendu at first and in
creased daily, just as an engineer
starts his locomotive slowlx, gradually
increasing the speed until the train
goes at a rate of fifty miles an hour.
Again, this may be illustrated by
the faniiliir story of the man who
began by lifting a veiy young calf,
an<l persevering in this day by dav,
he found at the end of the year that,
l e could lift the yearling with ease.
But it sheuld be always remembered
that the most healthful exercise is
that which exhilarates without
exhausting. Nfcver tax the muscles
till they ache.
ro those who labor with their
hands, spare minutes are of ihe
greatest imnortance. I have some
times wondered that business men
know anything that has to be read
to be known, From early morning
until late at night, often, they are
in a perfect whirl of Imsims-. The
morning paper,, eves, is read nf the
exjitnse of devotional exercises,
which no family can afford to attempt
a day without; or maybe, it is rea 1 at
the breakfast table, thus injuring
digestion and disappointing the pool

and grasp every spare moment to
pursue it, the remit will be astonish

International Arbitration.
The course ol the senate with ref
erence to the Anglo American treaty
does net meet with public appro
bation. The peojde of this country
do not want any more vara. Tiiev
favor the cordial and prompt en
dorsement and ratification of a treaty,
the object ol which is to remove the
possibility of war bat ween the United
States and Gnat Britain. The hot
ter civilization of tod ly endorses the
spiiit of the treaty, and is ready to
go on record in favor of the central
idea without quibbling over details.
Considering the lowest, phase in
which the question of war presents
itself, and regarding it as it touches
the pock el I >ook of the people, it is
only necessary to consider the pen
sion lists of today to make our people
shudder at the possibilities *f another
war. It is our experience that each
war brings a larger list of claimants
and heavier pensions. A generation
has passed since the lato civil war,
but there is no promise of abatement
in the steadily growing pension har
dens it has entailed. If to these are
added the pensioners of another war
our people will think long before
incurring such disaster. We want
no more war. We cannot afford it,
financially. Our people are eager to
s<‘c the confirmation of a treaty which
will reduce the probability of war to
a minimum.
But of course, there are higher
considerations upon which to base a
demand for the ratification of the
treaty. The advance of civilization
and Christianity’ and the claims of the
of the brotherhood o( man have lifted
our people to a plane if good fellow
ship and friendly regard for our
netghburs aero s the sea,', which puts
ur. above the desire to engage in
deadly strife- \Vo d> not want aught
that is iheirs. and we do not antici
pate any effort on their part to
acquire what is outs. Wo are
approaching nearer to tLe reign of
men entirely great with whom the
pen is mightier than tho sword- In
the event of differences we are ready
to submit our cause to arbitration of
bur minded disinterested powers, and
follow the course which shall be
adjudged to be proper. We have no
reason to believe that such a court of
arbitration would require of us any
course that would not be in keeping
with high national honor and Chris
tian civilization. Surely in the posi
tion of arbitrator we would do no
injustice to a friendly power, and
there is no reason to believe that
ant’ power would be less considerate
of us.
We believe the champions of silver
in the senate will m ike a grave mis
| take to oppose tho confirmation of
1 tins treaty on partisan grounds, or to
i pay off old scores. Let our repre
sentatives in the upper house of con
I guess lise above petty partisnnty, .and
treat this great subject like states
men. It is no idle clamor that is
going np from the people for the
ratification of this treaty, but it is tho
voicing of intelligent Christian senti
ment—that voice of the people which
has been declared to be the voice of
God.—Augusta Clironide.

Gold in Georgia.
It is reported on good authority
that mining experts employed by
foreign capilahts will soon visit Geor
gia to make a tour of inspection
through the gold region of this slate.
If their reports arc satisfactory there
will probably be a large invesment ot
capital in gold mining in this state at
an early day, and a better deinonstra
lion than lias yet been given of the
fact that G eorgia is one t-f the richest,
states of the union in the yellow
metal.
There have been mainly two dif
ticulliesin the way of developing
Georgia’s gold resources.
The first has been the lack of cap
tial "ml the second the litigation over
titles to mining property
An other trouble has come from
the exposure of wildcat mining
schemes and the unreaomvble bemambi
of holders of property which they
themselves had no means of develop
ing and would not sell to any one else
on reasonable terms.
But recent investigations have
shown thtat there is so large a gold
bearing region in Georgia that all
these difficulties will be lissend, if
not entirely removed .
'J'be improved processes of taking
out gold make mines very valuable
were abondoned years ago because
they did not pair out enough and aisu
stimulate the search for now mines in
the.region where gold is known to
exist in large quantities.
Tlfere are cool and calculating
mining engineers who believe that
within less than ten years Georgia
will be the greatest gold produclmg
state in the union.
