" TIRED OUT."
N.w. *n*l Courier | J
Have you ever felt so desperately 81
tired that nothing: in the world mat- ?
tered, so tired that it actually hurt, and t]
so tired that even the sunshine wearied
you with its mocking cheerfulness? If 8
yoifTiave, you probably know some- Cl
thing of the tragedy of battling bravely *
against hopeless odds and of working u
patiently without the right kind of ap- s'
nreciation. Mere physical exertion can *

heart anil soul, but steadfast and true.
Is it any wonder when life for them
narrows down into a dim, colorless
perspective, unalluring yet compelling,
that nature manifests itself and moral
exhaustion sets in? Is it strange,
after all, that we see so many persons
about us worn-out and heartsick when
we realize something of the lives they
lead? Human endurance, as we all
know, perhaps, from sad experience,
has its limits, and the wonder of it all
is, not that any one could have the
heart to be tired in this beautiful
world of ours, but that there are not
more persons too tired to go on in the
same old rut.
A man of limited means, for exam
pie, works day after day, often late into
the night to support his growing
family, but the income never happens
to keep pace with expenses. There is
nothing unusual in this; it is a condition
all too common, but how many of us
know of the hopes disappointed and the *
ideals shattered and the ambitions crushed
which leave behind them only
an utter weariness of soul and a des- 1
perate longing to give it all up and rest '
just for once? Woman, too, though
not necessarily a bread-winner, has her
triais and responsibilities, many of them
which would try a sterner nature than
hers. The unceasing struggle with
conditions in her own immediate sphere
?the care of children, the conduct of
the house, the servant question, more
probably no servant at all, the thousand
and one details which the masculine
mind r.innnt irpain nr..

enougl to test the endurance, physical
and mental, of even the strongest and
most willing of her sex. Yet, when
the limit is reached and the wild desire
for rest is not to be denied, the
tired woman hears through ears almost
too weary to listen: "I can't see why
she takes these things so seriously.
She'll be all right tomorrow, though."
and when "tomorrow" comes, the
same burdens must be borne, the same
responsibilities shouldered, and the .
same hopeless, tired feeling be wrestled *
with.
Tired out! What a world of moaning "
lies behind those words! They come , .
lightly from the lips for the most part, j >
but when the soul prompts them and i
the heart voices them, we begin to un- I
derstar.d something of the tragedy of
the weary being who "cannot see his
way through," and lies down loo soon
for sheer exhaustion of spirit.
Transatlantic Airship Service.
A line of airships of the Zeppelin
type to ply between New York and
* 1 '
Liunuun via renin is projioseu by A.
Brodbeck, president of ths Ae?-o Club
of Utah, who says he is already negotiating
with Count Zeppelin.
While the line would be proposed
for the rapid transit of passengers, Mr.
Brodbeck has written to Postmaster
General Hitchcock asking if the post
office has authority to transport mail
by airships. He has been advised that
it coidfl not be done unless Congress
should specify airships as one of the
means of transportation.
In his proposal Brodbeck says the
practicability of the Zeppelin ship has
been proved. It would average forty
miles an hour, he says, and the principal
stations on the proposed route would laNew
York, Chicago, Omaha, Denver,
Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Seattle,
Fort Williams, Behring, Stoakholm, |
lokio, Pekin, Irkutsk, Omsk, Orenburg,
St. Petersburg, Riga, Berlin, '
Cologne, Paris and London. j (

never produce such a hopeless feeling,
for the refreshing slumber that closes ^
the eyes of those who toil by bodily
exertion brings the best and sweetest s
of rest and the ambition to be "up and n
doing" again. It is the other sort of
fatigue, when the heart seems almost ^
too tired to beat, and the mind too dull C
to think, and the soul, perhaps, too "
heavy to soar into the heights above, f
that reduces one to the verge of dis- y
traction and makes of life at times an
existence to be endured only. Perhaps 8
such a condition is even harder to bear r
by reason of the small degree of aym- '
pathy it excites, for the customary h
comment upon a person merely "tired"
is, "Oh. he's dyspetic; that's all!" or 0
"Another attack of the blues, why 1
worry about her?" t
Possibly so in some cases, when, 11
naturally, the matter rights itself,
but there are times that come into the t
lives of nearly all of us which really h
call for more sympathetic handling
than any ordinary case of low spirits c
ever demanded. To those especially
whose lives are closely interwoven with ?
other lives near ana dear to them; *?
whose brains and heart throb from e
the unceasing task of administering to <1
the needs of others; to these and all ?
Others like them whose will-power and c
moral endurance and nerve force are h
expected to be of the strength of iron a
and the resistance of steel, come times 8
of depression when flesh and blood de- n
clare themselves and the heart grows Cl
sick. tl
There are in all walks of life numerous examples
of men and women weighted
down with unending burdens; men and
women who though cast in lighter molds
are called to lives of heavy responsibility;
whose whole natures cry out for
the beautiful things in life yet who are
faithful to their trust, distasteful
though it be. Daily they go through

Tfce Earth's Age.
And now we ere treated to another
stimate of the earth's age; not that
here is anything surprising in this, for
cience is continually dealing with the
lleged problem, says the Montgomery
idvertiser. Those who take the
lible literally look on it as a historical
ccount of the earth's creation, and are
ontent to place that event at a period
bout 6,000 years ago. As a general
hing, scientists pay no attention to
Lich authority, and endeavor in various
^ays to estimate the earth's age. As
hev have no certain data unon which
;> build their theories, it follows that
hey differ in their estimates. The conequence
is that said estimates canot
have much weight with laymen.
One of the latest of these guesses?
or they are little more?comes from a
Ihicago college publication of recent
ate. The author is not at all modest,
or he puts the earth's age at 400.000,000
ear.'. This, as all must admit, is going
ack quite a long ways to find the be:inning
and "lays over" anything we
rmember to have seen in this line.
Mainly the originator of that estimate
ias no mind to be circumscribed in
he way of dates, and has apparently
ndeavored to put the beginning at a
K'riod so remote that no one will try
o go back of him. Four hundred
nillion years is what we may call a
ang time, and tne man who outdoes
his authority may have to deal in bilions
of years, instead of millions.
Could anything more vague and unertain
be thought of? To begin with,
t is impossible to estimate the amount
f salt in the sea, for the simble reason
hat no one can yet form anything
ven approaching a fair estimate of the
uantity of water contained in the
ceans and salt water seas. No one
an ascertain the area of these waters,
ecause to do so would require that
11 the boundaries of all seas and oceans
hould be defined and measured, as in
o other way can the best scholar
ompute the number of square miles
hus covered by salt water.
