Work and Worry*
IT is an old opinion that the literary
men and brain-workers generally have
often inadequate notions in regard to the
conditions of healthy work of the instru
ment which they employ. Other men,"
saya one of Barton's favorite old authors,
"look to their tools a painter will wash
his pencils a smith will look to his
hammer, anvil, forge a husbandman will
mind his plowshare, aDd grind his
hatchet if it be dull a falconer or hunts
man will have special care of his hawks,
horses and dogs a musician will string
and unstring his lute only scholars neg
lect-that instrument which they daily use,
and by which they range over all the
world." But there is an essential differ
ence between the two classes of cases
here contrasted, which constitutes some
sort of apology for the brain-worker. A
handicraftsman is able to observe at a
glance the very first indications of his
tools getting' the worse for wear but it is
by no means so easy a matter to tell at
what point the brain has done enough of
work. The indications of muscular ex
haustion after labor are quite unmistaka
ble, and the demand for rest correspond
ingly imperious. One cannot aft'ord to
disregard the monitions of jaded body and
aching limbs. But the signs of brain
weariness in a healthy worker are by no
means uniform or well defined, nor are
they so urgent as to give rise to
a peremptory demand for repose. The
healthy thinker has seldom any feel
ing of mental fatigue referable to
the brain, analogous to the uneasy
sensation from wearied muscle. The long
catalogue of symptoms familiar to phy
sicians, of exhaustion consequent on
mental strain, develop themselves
only after a prolonged course of
overwork. They tell, in Fact, not that the
brain is tired merely, but that it is dis
eased, -it is this absence ot any unmis
takably prohibitory sensation which
makes it somewhat difilcult to determine
the point at which, for the time, mental
work should be stopped.
The nearest thing to an indication that
the brain has been working rather more
than is good for it is the persistence in
the mind during the period of rest of the
thoughts which have engaged it during
its period of activity. After a good spell
of hard work the brain-worker is often
tormented by finding it difficult, all at
once, to turn off the steam. His work
day thoughts will intrude themselves, in
spite of every effort to keep them out.
A symptom of mental exhaustion quite
allied in kind to the last, but indicative
of a greater degree of mental strain, is
persistent wakefulness. The physiologi
cal cause of this condition is well under
stood. During the excessive labor of the
brain theie is an increased flow of blood
to the working organ, the vessels of the
head and neck becoming distended with
blood, as is shown by the flushing of the
face. If this condition of distension is
long continued the vessels are apt to lose
the power of contracting when mental
activity is diminished. Hence arises the
impossibility of fulfilling the physical
conditions of sleep, the most important of
which is the diminution of the flow of
vital fluid to the brain.
The fact, well known to every medical
man, that persistent sleeplessness is fre
quently the precursor or initiatory stage
of several most intraptable maladies,
physical and mental, always invests the
presence of this indication of mental over
strain with grave interest. But a continued
course of excessive mental labor generally
manifests its effects on the mind itself in
various ways, all more or less premonitory
of approaching collapse. The brain
worker begins to perceive an unwonted
want of clearness in his ideas work be
comes gradually less easy to him he is
alarmed at sudden awkward failures of
memory a feeling of surfeit or disgust
will steal over him in the midst of work
he becomes unable long to fix his atten
tion, and latterly feels as if all mental en
ergy was crushed out of him. If these
warnings of an overwrought brain, now
speaking distinctly with the tongue of
disease, are disregarded, the wonder fre
quently is, not that the inevitable retribu
tion follows, but that it should have been
so long delayed. What particular form
the Nemesis shall assume—whether of
physical or mental disease—will be deter
mined by accidents partly of personal
habit ana temperament, and partly of in
herited predisposition. It is noteworthy
however, that the common opinion that
excessive mental occupation gravitates
toward insanity does not appear to be
verified by facts. Indeed, one of the fore
most of living physicians doubts whether
alienation of mind is ever the result of
simple mental overstrain. It is to phys
ical, not to mental, derangement that ex
cessive work of the brain generally gives
rise.
It is not, however, the mere quantity of
brain-work which is the chief factor in
the production of disease. The emotional
condition under which the work is per
formed is afar more important matter. A
man of trained mental habits can bear
with safety an almost incredible amount
of brain-toil, provided he is permitted to
work without distraction or excitement,
in the absence of disquieting cares and
anxieties. It is not brain-work, in fact,
that kills, but brain-worry.
That the effects of worry are more to be
dreaded than those of simple hard work
is also evident from noting the classes of
persons who suffer most from the effects
of mental overstrain. The case-book of
the physician shows that it is the specula
tor, the betting man, the railway manager,
the great merchant, the superintendent of
large manufacturing or commercial
works, who most frequently exhibit the
symptoms of cerebral exhaustion. Mental
cares accompanied with suppressed emo
tion, occupations liable to great vicissi
tudes of fortune, and those which involve
the bearing on the mind a multiplicity of
intricate details, eventually break down
the lives of the strongest.
It will appear, then, from what we have
said, that brain-work, even hard brain
work, does not necessarily conduce to dis
ease. If, in a given case, it is produc
tive of this result, it will invariablv be
found, on investigation, that the wort has
been done under injurious emotional con
ditions, such as the distractions arising
from anxiety hurry, or the pressing sense
of responsiDility. Of all the organs of
the body, the brain is the hardiest, the
most capable of exceeding its ordinary
duties with impunity. Any extraordinary
exertion thrown on the other organs is
sooner or later emphatically resented.
The quality of the brain which is most
conservative of its health is its versatility.
One part of the organ may be fresh,
while another is jaded, and it has the
power of resting in parts that are ex
hausted while it continues active in those
parts that are still vigorous. One of the
secrets of safe continued brain-work is to
vary frequently the kind of mental -occu
pation. This is a species of mental eym
nastics by which all parts of the organ of
thought are exercised in turn. Even in
many cases of cerebral exhaustion change
of work is probably preferable to complete
cessation from mental toil. The mine
cannot lie long fallow without bringing
forth weeds. Through want of employ
ment it becomes relaxed in tone, less
amenable to discipline, and less fitted lor
steady work.—Christian Weekly.
Brilliant Success.
If is permitted to few men or companies
to achieve acknowledged superiority in
any important position or business. The
present generation has witnessed stu
pendous rivalry in several branches of in
dustry, and notably the Sewing Machine
business. Amid a multitude of compet
itors, steadily and surely the Wheeler &
Wilson Company held their way from the
beginning, upon fixed and honorable prin
ciples. Long since, their leading position
in America was established. Abroad, at
London, in 1862, they won the highest
premiums at Paris, in 1867, they dis
tanced eighty-two competitors, and were
awarded the highest premium, the only
Gold Medal for Sewing Machines exhib
ited and lastly, amid unparalleled com
petition, followed the splendid triumphs
at Vienna, noted in our advertising col
umns.
An Interesting Railway Decision.
An important case was tried in the Som
erset County Court, New Jersey, recently,
the result of which will be of particular
interest to railroad companies and to
passengers who may meet with accidents.
John Knable, the plaintiff, received in
juries on Dec. 21, 1871, while riding
in the rear car of a train on he Connells
ville Railroad, a bruised rail having
thrown the car down an embankment into
the river. It was shown to the court that
the repair-master of the division on which
the accident occurred had been notified
of the defective rail. In the instruction to
the jury the Court held that when an acci
dent happens and a passenger is injured,
the presumption is- against the carrier,
and that the defendant must remove it by
showing that there was no negligence. On
the question as to what the law requires
in regard to the structure of railroads, the
Court substantially charged as follows:
The road must be constructed of the
best materials in the best known manner.
It must be safe and sufficient beyond
Sone
uestion, in view of the business to be
upon it. The ties must be sound
and strong, well laid and well fastened.
The road iu its structure must
be up to the standard. The ut
most care and vigilance is required of
the company in keeping it in repair. It
must be kept in the best condition. It
must not be suffered to be out of repair
for a moment longer than the utmost dila
gence requires. It must be always is
good as new, as good as the best. The
railroad company is bound to keep hands
enough and of such quality as to keep the
road in the best order. Not to have the
road up to the standard indicated is neg
ligence. The slightest neglect to keep it
in this condition, if hurt or loss occurs to
any one, will render the company liable.
If injury results from a defect in the road
the carrier can relieve himself from re
ponsibility only by showing that the de
fect was one which could not be discov
ered or cured by any attainable skill, fore
sight or intelligence.
On the question of damage the Court
affirmed the point of counsel to plaintiff
in this regard, which is to the eflect that
the plaintiff can only recover such com
pensation for loss and damage as the evi
dence clearly proves him to have sus
tained, not exceeding $3,000. The jury
rendered a verdict for the plaintiff for
$1,400.
Watering Stock.
If animals when in a wild state are
guided by an infallible instinct In regard
to eating and drinking, they lose this
instinct after a few generations of domes
tication. We are disposed to believe,
however, that innumerable wild horses
and cattle perish from imprudence in this
respect. Certainly our domestic live
stock cannot be trusted to select its own
hours if we expect to bring it to a high
state ol perfection. Especially is this true
in regard to drinking cold water in the
winter. It is too often the practice to
turn a stable-full of cattle out into the
yard on a cold morning, and allow them
to crowd by turns to the trough, the weak
being of course kept away to the last, all
standing about chilled and uncomfortable,
to their direct disadvantage in loss of
flesh and appetite. An animal will often
refuse to drink the ice-cold water of a
trough early in the morning, and this is
possibly a bit of prudence taught it by
that instinct to which we have just, rather
incredulously, referred. The fact is that
animals whose whole systems are in har
mony with the comparatively warm air of
the stable are quite unfit to go at once into
the freezing temperature of a winter
morning, and still less in a state to chill
their organs of digestion and assimilation
by a half-bucket or so of ice-water. If it
is impracticable to water them in the

The Patent Combination Lock.
Mr. Rafferty, of Darby, has less faith in
the Patent Combination Lock" than
formerly had. He bought one a few weeks
ago and placed it upon the front door of
his store. He chuckled as he went to bed
that night, to think how he had check
mated the fraternity of burglars. But in
the morning he forgot the combination
by which the key was to be fixed, and
when he tried to open the lock he couldn't.
He worked at it all that day, and during
the entire week he had locksmiths down
from the city endeavoring to pick the
lock and meanwhile his business was
entirely suspended and his customers all
went to the rival store over the way.ties
Finally he got a fence rail, and, leveling
it like a battering-ram, he broke the door
to splinters. When he got in he found
that burglars had had one of the back
windows open for four nights, and had
nearly cleaned the place out while he was
agonizing over that lock. There have
been madder men in Darby than Rafferty,
but very few who have felt so mad all
over, from toe nails to hair, as Rafferty
does now.—Max Adeler.

How to Make an Orchard.
In commencing to make an orchard
bear ii maid that it is not for a day or a
year, but for a lifetime, and if we make
mistakes it may take years to find them
out and many years more to correct them.
We should, therefore, consider carefully
what we will plant, and where and how
we will plant to bring the best returns.
A small orchard well tended is worth
more than a large one that is neglected,
and no one should plant more than he can
care for.
Select, if possible, the highest ground
on the farm for your orchard site and have
itnatuially or artificially drained so that
water will never stand about the roots.
The soil should be well prepared by a
thorough and deep plowing the fall be
fore planting.
Having the ground selected and pre
pared for the orchard, go to the nearest
reliable nursery and get the trees fresh
from the ground. If not convenient to go
to the nursery, make up a club with your
neighbors, and select the trees or send
your older to some reliable man. If vou
cannot find any better way to get your
trees buy of a peddler rather than go
without, though it is much the better way
to buy direct from the man who grows
them.

It is said that if two milch cows are
watered in the morning, one from the
trough and the other with water from
which the chill has been taken, a differ
ence will very soon be noticed in favor of
the latter.
We notice by the way a plan practiced
by the editor of the Working Farmer,
whereby he prevents the ice from form
ing to an inconvenient thickness in his
out-of-doors watering-trough. When he
goes to his barn to see that all is safe
for the night, he breaks a hole through
the thin ice which has usually formed by
that time, and lowersthe water by dipping
out three or four quarts. The whole proc
ess of freezing has then to be repeated,
and in the morning there are two thin
coats of ice which may be readily broken
up, and will generally melt in the course
of a few hours. To the inquiring mind it
will at once occur that by having a faucet
or a movable plug at the bottom of the
trough the ice-breaking and dipping
process may be dispenced with. An un
broken sheet of ice on top will be a more
effectual check against farther freezing
than a sheet witrTa hole in it, though it
may be best to make an opening with the
point of a nail or knife to prevent the ice
from breaking by atmospheric pressure
when the water is removed from below.
—Christian Union.
Do not expose the roots to sun or air,
and as soon as ou get them bury them
in moist earth, taking out only as wanted
for planting. Never dig large, deep holes
for water to stand in under the trees, but
have the ground all well worked. Throw
out enouerh earth to give the roots ample
room to set your trees in and fill up care
fully with fine mellow earth, pressing it
firmly about the roots. The planting
should be done when the ground is in
good order for working and not too wet
if dry, water when the earth is nearly
filled in, and then fill up with dry earth
to prevent baking.
On good soil, not too light but well
drained, plant two or three inches deeper
than the trees grew in the nursery. If
the soil is tenacious and not well drained
plant almost on top and ridge up to th ?m,

THE Calhoun (Ga.) Times of a recent
date produces the following: One even
ing during last week several little shavers
were sporting near the new residence
being erected for Mr. Ferguson, when
one of them threw at a hog that stood
near a window a small stone, which did
not hit the hog but broke a window light.
What did the little fellow do? Did he,
like George Washington, go and tell the
workmen 'It is I who broke the glass?'
Not much. He calmly walked up to one
of them and said, his face the very pic
ture of innocence: 'Lor, Mr. Eason, did
you see that hog kick out that window

It is quite generally the custom to take
strong liver stimulants for the cure of liver
complaint, and J»oth the mineral and vegetable

procure the most drasticand poisonous purga

upon the liver, and arouse the lagging and en
feebled organ. This systemof treatment is on
thesamepiinciple as that of giving a weak
and debilitated man large portions of brandy
to enable him to do a certain amount of work.
When th«stimulant iswithheld, the organ, like
the system, gradually relapses into a more
torpid or Bluggibh and weakened condition
than before. What then is wanted? Medicines,
that, while they cause the bile to flow freelv
from the liver, as that organ is toned into ac
tion, will not overwork and thus debilitate it,
but will, when their use is discontinued, leave
the liver strengthened aud healthy.

Dr. J. WALKER, a prominent physician of
San Francisco. This medicine, although
called Bitters, is not to be classed among
the vile fancy drinks" recommended and
sold over the bar by rum-venders, but is a
combination of pure herbalistic extracts,
known to possess bterling medicinal qual
ities, and is compounded without the use
in any shape of spirits. Its action upon
the internal system is not stimulating to
the extent that alcoholic poison is, but it
at once attacks blood-impurities, and by
removing the original cause destroys the
germs of disease and invites returning
health. Its action upon the stomach and
liver renders it an almost certain specific
in the most stubborn cases of dyspepsia,
and in truth imparts new life and vigor to
the whole system. It is one of the best
medicines ever invented. 32

VINEGAR BITTERS
Dr. J. Walker's California Vin
egar Bitters area purely Vegetable
preparation, made chieflyfromthe na-
tr. herbs found on the lower ranges of
tue Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor
nia, the medicinal properties of which
are extracted therefrom without the use
of Alcohol. The question is almost
daily asked, "What is the cause of the
unparalleled success of VINEGAR I
TERS?" Our answer is, that they remova
the cause of disease, and the patient re
covers his health. They are the great
blood purifier and a life-giving principle,
a perfect Renovator and Invigorator
of the system. Never before in the
history of the world has a medicine been
compounded possessing the remarkable
qualities of VINEGAR BITTERS in healing the
Bick tf every disease man is heir to. They
are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver and. Visceral Organs, in Bilious
Diseases.
The properties of
DR. WALKER'S
VINEGAR BITTERS are ^erient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic,
Sedative, Counter-irritant, Sudorific, Altera
live* and Anti-Bilious.
Grateful Thousands proclaim VIN
EGAR BITTERS
the most wonderful In
vigorant that ever sustained the sinking
system.
No Person can take these Bitters
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones are not de
stroyed by mineral poison or other
means, and vital organs wasted beyond
repair.
Bilious. Remittent and Inter
mitten Fevers, which are so preva
lent in the valleys of our great rivers
throughout the United States, especially
those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri,
Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan
sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande,
Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro
anoke, James, and many others, with
their vast tributaries, throughout our
entire country during the Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so during sea
sons of unusual heat and dryness, are
invariably accompanied by extensive de
rangements of the stomach and liver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful influence upon these various or
gans, is essentially necessary. There
is no cathartic for the purpose equal to
DR J? WALKER'S VIXEGAR BITTERS,
as they will speedily remove the dark
colored viscid inatter with which tha
bowels are loaded, at the same tima
stimulating the secretions of the liver,
and generally restoring the healthy
functions cf the digestive organs.
Fortify the body against disease
by purifying all its fluids with VINEGAR
BITTERS. NO epidemic can take hold
of a system thus fore-armed.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head
ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs,
Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour
Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste
in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita
tation of the Heart, Inflammation of the
Lungs, Pam :n the region of the Kid
neys, and a hundred other painful symp
toms, are tbe offsprings of Dyspepsia
One bottle will prove a better gudi antee
of its merits than a lengthy advertise*
inent.

Swellings, Ulcers, Er^ hipelas. Swelled Xeck,

Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old
Sores, Eruptions ofthe Skiu, Sore Eyes, etc.
In these, as in all other constitutional Dis
eases, WALKER'S VINEGAR BITTEKS have
shown their great curative powers in the
most obstinate and intractable cases.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit
tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of
the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Blaader,
these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases
are caused by Vitiated Blood.
Mechan4eal Diseases.—Persons en
gaged in Paints aud Minerals, SUCH as
Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and
Miners, as they advance in life, are subject
to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard
against this, take a dose of "WALKER'S VIN
EGAR BITTERS occasionally.
