During the sitting of the court in Con

ening crowd of lawyers had collected
around the fire that blazed cheerfully
on the hearth in bar room, when a
traveller entered, but no one moved to
give him room to warm his shins, SO he
leaned back against the wall IN the back
part of the room.
Presently smart young limb Of the

Shirt Making.

Take an old shirt, rip it to pieces and cut out
the new one by il; haste il together and try il
on. Don't laugh at the idea; know it is an oal
one, Tor once heard a young man say he ''did
not know there was any ii to a shirt" but try
ing II on Il the only way a shirt can be made TO
nj, unless You have scientific pattern, cut by a
practical tailor, to 90 by.
After you have cut it to fit nicely. unbaste IT
and cut out pattern, allowing for the seams
anu marking al the hens, gathers, &c, by
by. So far your trouble is ended But few
ladies are now compelled to make boSOms, As
they can be bought for trifie more than the
ineA SOuId SOst, and by the way, young wives,
buy cheap bOsOms; nice high-priced bosoms
Will not wear ont the shirts. and two cheap ones
that cost about the same will, and when starched
and lrOned nicely a twenty cent bosom looks
nearly a. well as one costing fifty cent. know
TINS by experience, and find that two CHEAP
bOsOms last as long as the shirt, while one nice
one Is gone, leaving the shirt good. As a general
rule do not approve of cheap goods, but this is
an exception.
Putting the bosom into the shirt is the first
thlng 10 be done after il is cut. Double the
mont OF the shirt in the middle, also double the
bosom and lay il upon the shirt exactly SQUARE
and even all around, then cut out "A piece one
inch wider than the bosom, and half an inch
shorter. Unfold shirt and bosom, commence at
the top of each side and sew the bosom in place
81 the piece yOu cut out. Then lay plat at
the bOttC m and upon each side, both plaits of a
size and large enough to make the bosom set
smooth; stitch the bottom across, turn the
bosom under and hem il down, IL being half an
inch too long, having been left so for that
some do.
The object of making plat in a shirt at the
bottom OF the bCsOm is TO make the front OF the
shirt narrow. The back you will at once see
needs to be wider than the front to give freedom
TO the arms and shoulders; if both sides are of a
width the bosom will shrug together and set
out beyond the vest IN manner you may have
seen but could not explain.
Line the front OF the shirt the whole length
and width, from the bosom back to the arm size.
Some only face a narrow strip Just around the
arm size, but the best way by Tar is to line the
whole back from the neck down to the bottom of
the arm size and the front as before said.
The quickest and easiest way to sew ND seams
in shirts and all other under garments is in this
wise: Sew up your garment or sleeve upon the
right or outside, trim the seam very small, turn
and sew up again on the wrong side and your
seam is quickly and neatly finished without fell
ing, which is a branch of sewing most ladies
dislike very much TO do. The first time sewing
the seam, the stitches may be long If the cotton
i strong, bu' the next time il must be done
tight and well and You find the seam strong and

w hat Sleep will Cure.

The cry for rest has always been louder than
the cry for food. Not that il is more important,
buttt is harder to get. The best rest is from
sound sleep. OF two men or women, otherwise
equal, the one who sleeps the best will be the
most moral, healthy and efficient. Sleep will
do much to cure irritability of temper, peevish-
ness, uneasiness. 1t will cure insanity. 1t will
restore to yigor an oyerwOrked brain. 1t will
build Up and make strong a weary body. 1t will
do much TO cure dyspepsia, particularly that
variety known as nervous dyspepsia. Ii will re-
Eeye languor and prOstratiOn felt by consump-
tlves. Ii will cure hypochondria. 1t will cure
the blues Ii viii cure the headache 1t will
cure the heartache. 1t viii cure neuralgia II
will cure broken spirit. 1t will cure sorrow
Indeed, we might make a list of the nervous
maladies that sleep will cure.
The cure OF sleeplessness, however, IL not 50
easy, particularly in those who carry heavy
responsibilities. The habit Of sleeping well e
one which, If broken up for any length Of time,
is not easily regained. Often a severe illness,
treated by powerful drugs, 50 deranges the
nervous system that sleep Is never sweet afrer-
wards. OR, perhaps, long continued watchful-
ness produces the same effect. Or hard study.

To break up the habits are required: Isl n

and not too warm a room; ith, freedom from too
much care; 9Th, clean stomach; 9th, a clear

YOUNG AND RISING GENERATION

The vegetatiye powers Of life are strong, but in
few years how often the pslld hue, the lack ustre
eye and emanciated form, and the impossibility Of
application to mental effort, show their banefuI in
huence. 1t soon becomes evident to the observer
that some depressing influence is checking the de-
velopment of the body Consumption is talked Of,
and perhaps the youth is removed from school and
sent into the country. This of the worst move
ments. Removed from ordinary diversions of the
everchsnging scenes Of the city, the powers of the
body, too much enfeebled to give zest to heathful
and rural exercise, thoughts are turned inwardly
upon themselves.
