Water insects carry air into the depths
Of the water by holding it under the
wings or legs, or by the minute hairs
which cover the body. This frequently
gives them the Hilvery appearance OF a

There is a species OF acaoi in South

A Hint for Sleepers.

A plenty Of breathing space round

can be only an advantage and benefit !;
and il is suggested that some Of the
morning dullness and actual head
ache so often complained Of may be
traceable to sleeping close to the side
Of the room and breathing all night the
air reflected from the wall.
A physician was lately called to pre-
scribe for a young lady. There was
nothing the matter" with her she
declared, nothing but terrible head
ache" Every morning she awoke with
a headache and 1t lasted nearly half the
day. 1t had been going on for months
ever since they moved into their new
house. The doctor tried all the old
remedies and they all failed. Riding
and archery were faithfully tested, study
and practice we're cheerfully given up.
Nothing did any good.
"Will you let me see your bedroomY"
asked the doctor one day. and he vas
shown up into the prettiest little nest
imaginable.
Nothing wrong about the ventilation.
The windows were high and broad, and
we're left open every night, the patient
said. The bed stood in one corner
against the wall.
"How do you sleepy says the
doctor.
"on my right side. at the back Of the
bed, with my face to the wall. Lou likes
the front best"
"She does !" says the doctor. SO,
do !. Will Jon do me the favor TO
wheel that bed into the middle Of the
room and sleep 30 for week3 Then
LET me know about the headache"

fine words with ease and accuracy.
3. They obtain practical knowledge

have made them acquainted with the

4. They are better grAmmariAns, for

London Bar.maids OverWOrked.
London Daily Telegraph.
A very remarkable eonclave of young women
met together yesterday In Bloomsbury. The
bar-maids Of London have come to the conclusion
that they have grievance, and they have
adopted the natural course of laying it before
the public, the grievance being briefly that they
get too much work and too little pay. The
meeting Of yesterday began In . most concilia-
tory spirit, as it was expressly stated the last
thing in the world which the yong ladies wanted
was to 'fnjure their employers or put the public
to inconvenience in the matter Of obtaining re-
fresfments." So far SO good but the final and
only resolution passed at this synod was to
the effect that employers should be requested to
reduce the hours Of labor for bar-maids and
mattresses by employing double the present
number without any decrease of salaries. Late
hours, however, are imperative, and the bar
maids expressly stated that they did not ap-
prove of the t'early closing" movement i'm their
own business. What they want L. relays Of
fresh bar-maids, half for day work and half for
night work. Miss Neale, who presided, was
careful to express her horror at ''those mis-
guided, Ddt doubtless sincere. people who
would, If they could, shut up public houses and
refreshment saloons altogether" This remark
will not be likely to attract the sympathies of
Sir Wilfrid Lawson, but even that champion Of
the kettle and pump would hardly expect bar
maids to disapprove Of the practice Of imbibing
beer

AS our California friends are so bothered to
know what to do with the Chinese, 1 suggest
that they send or induce a lot of them to come
this way. Both and.my friends have lived on

servants. No greater blessing could be confer
red on the house-keepers of this city than to
substitute some of the much-abused Chinese
for the ignorant and thieving servants who so
largely ill our houses here to-day. With Chi
nese servants you would not see so many cases
