The experience of England, which,
through ils strictly enforced quarantine

Electricity lakes the nitrogen out of the

Ilie problem of renewing the soil has
been solved. TOO years ago Sir William

The process was found lo be economi-
cal, and -there was a ready market for
all the fertilizer thus produced. Now a

WORK WILL CURE WORRY
Absorbs the Thought and Energies and
Avoids Habit of Fretting,
"Fret not thyself; 11 teedeth only to
evil doing," -Ps. xxsevii„ 8 (11. V.).
Worry is wicked because it causes
weakness. It robs tho life of ite powers;
IL thwarts our possibilities. Anxiety is
wrong, not because it indicates WOO.
Sy as to the wise and Swims pecividenee
overruling life, but beeaese it is a erim-
inal waste of life's forces, it prevents
our doing our own yvork, and it !M-
ilder; and hinders others.
What a great cloud would be Ilfted
from our world if aLt the needless fears
nnd frowns were ehused llYveY• One
scowling man, going to his work wois
rying over It, will spread the contagion
apprehenslen and cowardly fretful•
ness througlt almost every group with
which he mingles. Our mental health
bee as much to do with our success
and happleess as any other thing:
The fog that bothers us most oi 011
ts that we carte, ore our faces, that, which
rises from our heart fears. Onee sav-
age man lived In perpetual fear of in-
numerable malignant splrits; civilized
man lives In feat' of invisible and MI -
vinery accidents. For every real foe
that hes to be faced we fight out hypo -
[helical battles with a dozen shadows.
Worry is a matter of outlook and ha-
bit It depends, first of all. oa whe-
ther you are going to lake all the facts
into account and look on life as a whew,
or see only
THE DISMAL POSSIBILITIES.
Then it depends on wbether you will
yield continually to the bluemoods thot
may .arise from apprehension or from
indigestion until you have -become color
blind to all but the blue things,
Row trivial are the things over which
LYT worry, by Tileall-s of whieb we cunt -
vale the enslaving habit of worry, who -
(tee tt will rain whett we want it to
shine, OP Shine when we want It to rain.
Ilow ineffective it all is. Whoever
hy worrying all night succeeded in
bringing about the kind of weather he
wanted? More than 'that, it is haul to
successfully accomplishing those things
that do Ile yvithin our power, The wor-
ry over catching a train or doing a
place of work so agitates the mind and
tiiisettles the will iltut It reduees
chances of efficiency.
But there ere larger causes of werry
than these, sicknese. loss, Impending
disasters, Yet how futile lo help and
how potent. to Increase these Ills is
worry. The darkest days and the deep-
est serrows 1100d 11111 WO ShOOld be et
our best to meet them. 're yield to fear
and freffing is to turn the 'rowel's 51
heari and beetle from allies to enemies
No oecaslon Is 80 great or so smalI
ihat we can Miura to ineet it either With
feat, or without forethought. The itn-
peretive (abligalion to melee the most of
our lives is not mel ly apprehending
ihe worst, but by doing the best we
cent. We have to right to give to fore•
tedirigs the 111110 and force we need for
preparing for end actually
MEETING OUR DUTIES.
The best cure foe worry Is work. In
the larger number of instances if we but
de Our Work Well we shall have ne
need to worry ovet. the results. Much
our fearful Settings is but a contes-
slon of work illy done and the apple-
hansion of deserved consequences.
Then faithful work by absorbing the
thought and energies cures 1110 habit of
worry. It is the empty mind that falls
first prey to foreboding, and Is most
enstly filled with the spectres of woe.

sion.
The Place and the Sfessage.--11 was at

well address to Israel. Thal. [hie Iasi

ham in the Promised Land, and here
the father of the faithful had received
the first of lee peomiees from Jehovah
alter entering within the }girders of the
land. Here, also, Jeshea had caused the
law with ils blessings and muses to be
read, soon after the vicierious and con -
miffing people had crossed the Jordan
to enler upon their possessions. IL is
not itnpossible that lite address \vas de-
livered near the placo where centuries
later Jesus himself sat by the weitsicie,
wearied with hi.s journeys and conversed
with tho W0111811 of SO/110118, revealing
lo her ihe hidden source of Ilw water

Joshua's farewell address to the people,
or, perhaps, better, Iwo acldresses. Tho
first of these, recorded in the preceding
chapter (23), Is couched its genteel terms,

PATIENTS TREATED -BADLY.
There are Iwo VePy large private Otlyo
111Ills ill South London, where patients
when cured sometimes ask permission
M remain as paying guests, owing 10
the great comforts uf the place and the
caite which is bestowed on every ease.
Perhaps these ole the exceptions whleh
prove the rule that the showy asylum's
are the worst cf that class of houses
rounded on the principle of profit te the
proprietor's or the speculator, who is
eager le obtain patieffis and unwilling
lo discharge them, and who has the
lergest motive to stint them in every .
ixissible way during the time they are
under his care.
1118 felt that where the proprietor is
an unprincipled man, where he is de-
termined to evade conditions of law. he
will do everything loeon to avoid what-
ever thc commissioners enjoin upon him,
Netwithstanding the vigilance of the
limacy commissioners, it is known that
very many private asylums are. Ao badly,
managed that patients get. very little or
no real benefit, the object of the proprie-
tor being to get as many patients as he
can and to keop them as long as ho
ran, and stint thon in medicines, cloth-
ing, food and comfort.
MAY NAME COMMISSION.
It is a Ong lime since the special com-
mission sat on t14o. subject, but in the
opinion of a number of members of
Perlitiment anti others. to svhom many
sad tales of abuse of the private asy-
lum eystem have been told, lhe time has
i.volved for the appointment of a royal
conintission, and the. Prime Minister,
in the early days of next session, will
lit requisitioned on the subject.
The premier will be assured that
there are several private nsylums, or
licensed bailees. in which it is said that
an appalling number of helpless peo•
ple are imprisoned for a profit.
BM the suspicion and distrust of psi.
vale asylums is not 11015' founded upon
ihe belief that their inmates are treated
with cruel vislenee. It is founded upon
Pm belief thin patients are admitted

Mined long after they ought O be set at
