Lorne's Family.

For six generations, from the thir-
teenth to the fifteenth century, the
head of this famous Campbell family
received the honor of knighthoOd as
matter of course. In l4i5 Sir Duncan
was created Lord Campbell, and his
grandson was made an earl, under the
distinction of Earl of Argyle and Lord
of Lorne. In 1911 the eighth earl was
made marquis by King Charles under
peculiar circumstances. He had fought
against the king and his allies, and "a
late as 1910 had marched against the
earl of Athol, who was in arms for the
king. Yet, in 1911, when the king Wis
tied Edinburg he sent for his fOeman
and made him Marquis. In l10l, the
tenth Earl was made Duke of Argyle,
Marquis of Lorne and kintyre, Earl
Campbell and Cowal, Viscount LOchOw
and Glenilla, Baron lnverary, Null,
Morven, and TRY. a man, one would
think might find it difficult to carry
more title than these; but the second
duke, in addition to his hereditary title
Argyle, was created Baron Catham,
Earl of Greenwich and Duke of Green
wich. His brother, who succeeded
him, was raised to the peerage before
he came to the ducal honOrs, by the tt
ties of Viscount and EIrl of Isla and
Baron OrOnsay, DuLOon and Avrose.
The fifth duke was made Baron Sun
bridge in his fathers lifetime; while
the sixth duke, before coming into the
chief honors of the family, sat in the
house of lords as Baron Hamilton. The
younger branches of the family have
also had hOnors and distinctions show
cred upon them. They have borne the
titles of Earl of Athol, Earl of London,
Baron Clyde, Baron Kintyre, Baron
Cimpbell, Baroness Statheden, etc.
The chiefs have been decorated with the
Garter and the Thistle. TLey have ex-
ercised as much influence in English
at airs as in Scotch. They have set up
and overthrown kings; if they have
carried the crown at coronations, they
have been great in the senate and the
field. One Argyle fell at IIalidOn Hill;
another breathed his last at Flodden
Field.

About Sleep.

Although sleep Is natural and involun-
tary state, it may be greatly promoted by
maintaining good state of health, by daily
open air exercise, or by riding or sailing
with the face exposed to the air; by having
the stomach free from heavy meal or any
indigeStible substance, and by the MIND
being undisturbed with cares. Over-fatigue
Indulgence in food or drink beyond what
nature requires, want of proper exercise
and mental disquietude, are all causes OF
sleeplessness. Breathing in confined or
oyerheated apartment is also not unusual
cause of broken slumber. The temperature
most suitable for sleep is about sixty degrees,
which gives the sensation of neither heat nor
cold. and admits of a moderate amount of
| bedclothing being used. The best posture
! for sleep is To lie on the right or left side,
with the arms crossed over the breast in
| front and the head well up on the pillow.
/ The mouth should be shut, so that the
breathing may be carried on exclusively
4 through the nose. Some persons acquire a
| habit of sleeping with the mouth open,
which causes the grotesque and offensive
action OF snoring. Going TO sleep while
| living on the back should be avoided, as
/ besides inducing the sleeper to snore, It Is
/ apt TO cause disturbing dreams. When ly-
/ ng down to sleep, the mind should be as
composed as possible. Thinking ought to be
guarded against, as productive of wakeful-
ness. Those who. from nervous irritabilliy,
are habitually bad sleepers, resort 10 various
/ iexpedients to secure the blessing of r1pOse.
One of the most successful plans consists in
mentally repeating n familiar poem or
psalm, so rs to alter the train of thought
and lull the consciousness. 1t is well as
certained fact that sleep begins at the eX-
tremities; the feet sleep first, and then the
rest of the person. On this account, in or
der to fall asleep, we require not only To
compose the thinking faculties, but to keep
the feet still The feet must also have an
agreeable warmth. With a consciousness
/ of this fact, the North American Indians
and others who are in the habit of bivOuack-
| ing in the open air when on distant eXpedi-
tions. sleep with their feet toward fire
which they kindle for the purpose. Certain
drugs act as an opiate and produce sleep
when ordinary means fail but these should
never be taken unless by medical sanction.
The practice of using opiates is most detrl-
mental to health, and, if persevered IN, Is
ruinous to the constitution. Coffee and
other beverages act variOusly on different
individuals They exhilarate some, and
others send to sleep. Tea usually acts
as an exhilarant, by stimulating the nervous
system, and should not be taken less than
four hours before going to bed

The Judges Turn.

lie had fidshy coat on, also neck
tie of pronounced tint, and he paid his
$40 fine with the air of a man who was
liquidating the National debt. lie
hadn't been an hour out of court when
he was back again. His offense was
rank, they said. lie insisted on treat
ing a yirtuOus policeman, who on ac-
count of a crowd being around, had
signified his adherence of the tempta-
ton by summary arrest.
"Whatr' cried his Honor, 'here
again? Going about like roaring
lion, seeking 10 corrupt upright OIL
cials, Ell? Trying 10 impair the integ-
rity of the laws servants, are you:
This outraged municipality demands
$40 more.'
"All right said the prisoner, pass
the tenner to the deputy" and he hand
ell the bill to the ctief clerk. Il am
off again-bye-bye"' He went into
the market half an hour later, and ask
ed horse radish man for champagne
cocktail They tried to coax him oil,
but he said he would have mixed
drink or perish. Another officer tolu
this oil him in court, when he appeared
there for the third time.
His Honor looked distracted. Then
he said, This county ought to be
grateful to you for paying of the
taxes"
Ten dollars more"
The prisoner paid and leaned back
on the railing As he put the roll of bills
away. There clearly was something
on his mind. At last he lifted MP MS
head and said quietly to the cc'irt;
"Judge, don't you think rs time Tor
YOU to do something?"
"What, sir?"
"Ain't you a-goia' treat:" It's only
friendly like. You'll put up drink
now, won't you:
GLOW dare you say such thing
The prisoner turned away with a re-
proachful glance at the Bench.
Judge" he murmured, 81 don t
want 20 say you're small; | don't want
70 say YOU'RE a mean man. Oh, no. but
I will observe that l never spent so
much money in any house before with
ont the boss treatin'. That's all"
He went of, the picture of despond-
ency."

Interesting Experiment.


A curious phenomenon OF the deirac-
ton of light may readily be observed
by any one with lamp and two VISIT
ing cards. Cut out of one of the CARDS
slit about one-tenth of an inch wide,
with straight, even borders. Then
take a position about twenty feet from
a Kerosene lamp, with the edge of the
flame standing edgewise towards you,
look at the flame through the slit in the
card, while you slide the edge oil the
other card across it till you make the
slit in the card quite narrow. You
will then see the central bright bahd Oh
the flame flanked on each side WIN the
colored defraction bands; and II you
look successfully through red, green
and violet glasses, held between the
eve and the slit, You will observe that
the bands are separated by the greatest
space for red light and become closer
when viewed through the green glass,
and closest when the violet or blue
GLASS is held before the eye.

Advantages of Staying I'm Bed.

Bayard the French physioiogist,
maintained that man is an animal who
exercises the thinking faculty best in
horizontal position. Thus, there are
high artistic, social and intellectual
use connected with an occasional day
in bed, which imperatiyely claim dis
cussion. Brinley, the great engineer,
when he was fairly puzzled by some
tough problem, always betook himself
to bed until he had solved it. Most peo-
pie have a great Kindness for Lord
Melbourne, who, under the afffctation
of frivolitv, used 10 get up Hebrew and
the Fathers and impeturbable good hu-
NOR to bear with his wife, Lady Carol
inc, while the pretty Byron-struck
termagant used to smash the drawing
room furniture. His intimate friends
would find the Premier calmly taking
breakfast in bed, with letters and de-
spatches strewed all over the counter
pane. The poets have been terrible
fellows to get out of bed. | suppose it
is because the visions of the day and of
the night sweetly intermingle. The
poet Thompson cultivated laziness as a
fine art, and thought out his poems in
bed. Pope was still worse fellow.
When he had fit of ofinspiration on him
he would keep the servants running
about for him all through the night.
He made amends to them by the plen
teousness of his walls" We take a
later instance. Bismarck says, accord
ing to Doctor Busch, 81 was troubled
with varicosc veins in 1866. | lay full
length on the bed, and had to answer
letters of a very desperate sort with
pencil" He has given us some of his
experiences when lying in bed. 81
used to lie awake full of all sorts OF
thoughts and troubles. Then Var
zin would suddenly come up before
me, perhaps distinct in the minutest
particulars, like a great picture, with
even all its colors fresh-the green
trees, the sun shine on the stems, the
blue sky above. l saw every individ-
ual there. struggled to shake the
thing of; and when at last l ceased to
see it, other things came in-reports,
notes, dispatches, and so on; but fell
over about morning" Bismarck at
Versailles used to lie in bed great
deal, "because he cannot keep himself
| reasonably warm in any other way
