SLEEP FOR CIiiLDRRN.-There Is no
danger that children can sleep too much.
The old proverh, "who sleeps, eass,' is
illustrated in those children who sleep
most. Wakeful children are almost al.

they can beinduced to sleep abundantly
they arc quite likely to become good.
riatdred and plump. Their sleep should
be as much during the hours OF darkness
as possible, therefore it is better that
they shotild GO to bed before sunset to
have their sleep out, than to lie long af.
ter sunrise in the morning. 1t is well
to let any healthful growing child or
young person sleep till he awalens him,
self, and then give him such variety and
amonnt of outdoor exercise as shall make
him glad when bedtime COMES again.

the better they are for weak and dyspep-
tic stoTachs. The reverse is tho case,
