J J t J ^.I *i 1 ** this tact IS reahzed and reckoned with the better ^^• ■ • it will be for all those who live in the temperatezones, in the United States the vacation habit has now grownchronic and confirmed among all classes. And yet it is surpris-ing that so few of these intelligent American millions fully com-prehend the real lesson of the doctrine of rest. Men andwomen in every walk of life, rich and poor alike, hustle alongday after dav through the busv months of each year betweenstore or office and the home or club, in quest of the elusivedollar and the happiness and pleasure it may bring. Few everstop to estimate the pace or measure the speed of their activi-ties, it is a restless energv that pervades this land of ours andwe rarely spare the time to look into the faces of our neighborsat home or abroad, or study their methods of life. The frailarteries of our existence are continually distended by the pres-. THE CATSKILL MOUNTAINS. S> sure of individiuil ellbrt toward the supremacy and conquestover jostling rivals on every side, it is an ambitious age inwhich we live. But rather than seek to abate the noble ener-gies and activities that so proudly characterize this epoch, shallwe not learn to glean the fuel with which to feed the consuming-fires of this glorious ambition, from the ample storehouses ofnature in the wisest way .^ The careful conservation of vitalforce is the imperative lesson of the hour. Greater economy inthe use and control of our bodies and brains is strictly enjoined.
