Rod W hen the processes of digestion reach

OF the waste of the tissues-it follows that
children need more sleep than grown per-
sons. Many who might be plump, active
and happy if given sleep sufficient, are
facid and sallow, weary and fretfuI, be-
cause they do not sleep enough to allow
the demand of the system for nutrition to

BEAUTIFUL DECORATIVE ART.-A
beautiful decorative art has recently
Been brought forward in London, in til
treatment and uses of natural wood By
means OF this process every shade, from
white to black, bluffs, browns, red ami
neutral green, are produced and pencled
upon the wood by hand, with the finest
lines, If needed, or laid on broadly ana
with clearly defined edges Though all
their varied tint1 the natural grain and
transparent lustre of the wood is retained
and the effect is soft, rich and harm0ni-
Ous-one considerable advantage in the
process being that it does not seem to
lend itself to strong or violent coloring,
and that blues and pure greens, which
are such dangerous implements in the
hands of most designers, do not make
their appearance among the colGrs en-
ployed. Among the specimens Produced
by this process, as enumerated in the
London papers, are doors, with highly
enriched panels and arcLitraves sides
and ceilings of rooms, with dado, c0rni
ces, ETC., and in which are groups of
fruits and leaves, admirable exhibiting
the capabilities Of the art also specimens
of furniture, illustrating the rich and
elaborate character of the work. When
done, the work is French polished or var
nished, IL highly glazed surface being
obtained. BY means of this process the
opportunity is afforded architects Of
having their designs carried out in exac
accordance with their drawings, to the
minutest detail

Those farmers make the most money
and have the most productive farms who
d. not haul off their crops to market but
drive them on foot. Not only is the
value more concentrated in lives stock,
and the mode OF moving them easier and
cheaper, but they leave behind them the
means of reproducing themselves, in the
shape of valuable supply of fertilizing
matter, to enrich the soil for future crops.
But to succeed IN raising such produce a
farmer must be shrewd enough to pur-
chase such stock as he can manipulate
most easily, and avoid loading himself up
with such as will not feed pr ftably
and further, he must use judgment as to
the time of purchasing. There is an old
adage among stock men, TO the effect that
What is well bought is next to we'll
sold" Thin stock bought late for win
ter feeding, will make no money for the
purchaser; they need to be filled up on
grass during this month and next
