A physician says the cry for rest
has always been louder than the cry
for food. Not that it is more import
ant. but j. Is often harder to obtain.
The best rest comes from sound
sleep. OF two men and women 9th
erwise equal, the one who sleeps the
best will be the most moral, healthy,
and efficient. Sleep will do much to
cure irritabilily OF temper, peevish-
ness and uneasiness. 1t will restore
to vigor an overworked brain. 1t
will build up and make strong a
weary body. 1t will cure headache.
1t will cure a broken spirit. 1t will
cure sorrow. Indeed, we might make
a long list OF nervous and other NAL
aides that sleep will cure. The cure
OF sleeplessness requires a clean,
good bed, sufficient exercise to pro-
duce WEAKNESS. pleasant occupation,
good air, and avoidance Of stimulants
and narcotics, For those who arc
overworked, haggard, nevous, who
pass sleepiess nights, we commend
the adoption OF such habits as shall
secure sleep, otherwise life will be
short, and what there is Of it sadly
imperfect.

Kitty Glover.

X tty Clover is a pretty child, but
she is always in a fret. Morning,
noon and night you hear Kitty Clo-
yer crying. Her aunty said the other
day that she thought she really
should have to go abroad. She could
not live another year in the same
house with a girl who was forever in
tears.
The day begins in this way with
Kittie: Mamma says, Come darling,
it's time to get up. The first bell
rang fiveminutes ago."
20, dear!" says Xittie, Il haven't
had half enough sleep. 1 can't wake
up yeti"
"But, my love you have no time to
lie still. Breakfast will be ready, and
you have your lessons to look over,
and nine o'clock will soon be here"
Very ungraciously Kitty rises.
She pokes out first One foot and then
the other, and she looks about to see
what she can find as a cause of COM
plant.
Must I wear that hateful dress ?"
she exclaims presently, Il want to
wear my new one and ruffled apron"
THAT dress will do for this week,
DEAR" mamma answers cheerfully.
but it is no use. Kittie Glover cries.
Between daylight aud dark she some
times cries sixteen times.
Yet, strange TO say, 1t is only at
home that she behaves SO. In
school, her teacher tells us, she is a
very good child. Nowhere except
where mamma il, is our little girl so
cross and fretful.
What shall we do with Kitty? We
are afraid that a pucker is growing
on her pretty forehead, and that the
tears will wash all OF the brightness
out OF her blue eyes. Is there moth
ing that Kitty herself could do to
help mend this dreadful state of az

Where il Never Rains.

In Puru, South America, rain is un-
known. The coast OF Peru Is within
the region OF perpetual south east
trade winds, and though the Peruvian
shores are on the verge OF the great
southeast boiler, yet it never rains
there. The reason is plain. The
southeast trade-w winds in the Allan
tic.ocean first strike the water on the
coast OF Africa. Travelling TO the
northwest they blow obliquely
across the.ocean until they reach the
coast OF Brazil. By this time they
are.laden with vapor. which they con-
tinue to bear Giong across the contin-
ent, depositing it as they 60, and sup
plying with 1t the sources OF the Rio
de la Plata and the southern tribu-
taries OF tine Amazon. Finally they
reach the snow-capped Andes: here
is wrung from them the last particle
Of moisture that very low tempera-
ture can attract. Reaching the sum-
NIT OF that range, they now tumble
down as cool and dry winds on the
Pacific slope beyond. Meeting with
no evaporating surface and no tenn
perature colder than that to which
they were subjected on the mountain
tops, they reach the ocean. Thus we
see how the tops OF the Andes be-
come the reservoir from which are
supplied the rivers OF Chill and Peru.

simple Lessons.

Every boy on the farm should be
Earning while laboring. Agricul-
tural chemistry IL considered by
even scientific men to be very alb
struse science. Yet many OF its sim
pier questions, but one the less i'm
portanr, can be easily solved by farm
boys. We all know that sand. called
silica by the chemist, should consti-
tute part OF all farm lands. This
furnishes but a small nutriment to
plant life, yet 1t gives strength to the
stalk or stem aud hardsns or gives
irmness to the grain or seeds. So
all grain farms should contain in the
soil due proportion of sand. The
young or old man in buying farm
near home, or in seeking a home In a
new country should knou what kind
Of soil he is buying. He cannot de-
eide whether it contains lime, potash,
ph0sphates, magnesia, sulphates or
ultIdIte, Out ne can d5ctI edlu IL IL
contain clay, loan and silica. And
how 10 do this is one OF the simplest
lessons in agricultural chemistry.
Take q small vessel and put in a
handful OF fair sample OF the soil to
be tested. Put In sufficient water to
make it a thin liquid. Stir up
thoroughly, 80 all the particles are
dissolved. Add water until 1t is all
liquid. Then pour the liquid into a
tall. narrow glass. Let 1t stand un-
ill 1t settles. In q short time the
courser sand will be in stratum at
the bottom OF the glass. the finer
sand next, then tie heavier clay next
and lastly the loan. Thus anyone.
can see at once the quality OF these
elements In the soil. And as simple
- this lesson il, this is the way it is
done by the most learned chemists to
solve the question.-Ioica State Reg

Waste OF Farm Machinery.

Waste OF Farm Machinery.
How many OF our readers or their
immediate neighbors have a pillow,
harrow, valuable wheat or corn drill,
wheeled rake, moving or reaping-
machine, or other valuable farming
Implements and machinery lying out
of doors unprotected from the wealth
er? Hundreds we will venture to say.
Have any Of those careless farmers
ever endeavored to cipher out the
actual loss such inexcusable negli-
gence entails upon them? now
Ing machine or drills, thresbing ma
chine or any other piece OF complica-
ted machinery, suffers more bv expo
sure to weather in one season than
the wear and tear OF putting in or
harvesting OF half dozen crops. The
implements and machines on many
farms In the western country owe 90
to 70 per cent. of their decay and
breakage to the effects OF weather.
while 25 to 90 per cent. of their use
iulness only go to benefit the owner,
who has paid high price, and prob
ably bought them on credit bearing
a high rate OF interest.
Is 1t at all strange that such un-
thrift should keep those happy 60
lucky farmers always In strained
circumstances? They need guard
ian to save them from inevitable ruin.
1t is not reasonable excuse to al
lege that they have no proper place
to house machinery and farm imple-
ments. Every farmer should provide
a store house large enough to hold
all his farm tools, carts and wagons
before he expends money for them.
He had far better hire the use OF a
drill. moving and reaping- machines,
and a thrashing machine than to buy
such costly articles without proper
building to keep them in, during the
ten or eleven months they are not in
use.
At this season of the year every
fam implement should be cleaned,
oiled and carefully laid away in dry
building, where it should remain un-
til the season comes to use it again.
