Let your bedroom face the rising anG
setting sun, and the head of your
bedstead point to the North Star. You
are then in sympathy with the great mag
netic current that belts the earth. Open
all the windows and doors, and, if practi

anybody yet, except by the careless and
indiscriminate use of air-guns and by the
occasional stupidity of the Pneumatic
Railway Company's switchmen.
Early rising is conducive to health.
