Comfort for Late Risers.

The ethics of good sleep should form a
part of household morality. 1t is hardly
an extravagant assertion that compare
lively few people. after childhood is
passed, know by experience what perfect
sleep is, and satisfy themselves with
a poor apology for this most perfect
refreshment. Rising tired and weary
from disturbed, imperfect sleep. they
proceed to summon up lost energies by
strong tea or coffee, which in its turn again
interferes with perfect rest at night !;
and this process of life, more than
any mental or physical labor, wears wo-
men out and makes them prematurely old.
81 have been reading myself to sleep af-
ter retlring.,' said Boston woman the
other day. land when have done this for
two or three nights can see that look
five years older" 1t is an experience that
any woman can verify, and, conversely
she can see that sleeping in a perfectly
dark and well.ventilated room brings
back the contour and the roses of child
hood or early youth.
The most perfect sleep is obtained by
carefully closing the blinds. raising and
lowering the windows to admit plenty Of
pure air, and drawing down the heavy
shades. thus making the room perfectly
dark. Then, on going to bed, 20 there to
sleep. not to write or read, or think or
plan. but for that most valuable OF all
things. the foundation of all activity and
energy-perfect sleep. A few nights of
this experience will work a magic trans
formation in looks and in feelings.
Above all, let us divert ourselves OF q
traditional prejudice that there is some-
how virtue in early rising. When early
sleep is obtained. early rising is indicated
by nature by waking; but artificially pro.
duced it is pernicious. Unless there is
an exceptional reason. it is far wiser to
sleep till one wakes naturally, and one
hour then will do the work of three when
one comes to it tired. unrefreshed. Ma
ture's sweet restorer is Of all things the
most invigorating. Trareller.

Selection Important.

There are two mistakes that are most
frequently committed by the novice in
e-breeding; one is the selection of a
horse to breed from, and the other equally
fatal mistake is the mare. and first of the
latter. 1t does not follow that because a
mare will breed that she should be re.
served for that purpose. No greater mis-
take can be made than that Of breeding
mares indiscriminately; many farmers
become quite exercised in their minds as
the coming season approaches in regard
10 the merits and qualifications of the
horse to be used. They never seem to
notice that the use of a suitable mare is
equally important The fact that they
may have a poor or utterly worthless
mare for such purpose never
seem to affect them IN the slight
est. They have their brood mares, there
can be no question of their fitness for such
purpose, and these breeders aresonlyecrit-
ical as to the quality of the horse to he
used. Now, like to see man examine
a stallion closely ere he uses him; it is a
good indication. But man who only
cares that the stallion to be used is all right
only performs one half his'duty. You may
argue that you have the mare, if you are
to raise colts, that is, the mare you are to
use. l reply that is sheer nonsense. You
had better never raise colt than to
use mare that i. unfit for the purpose.
In breeding horses as in breeding other
varieties OF farm stock, there should be
some reasonable well defined object to
be attained. In large breeding establish
ments where exact science is brought to
bear to insure success, there is undoubted-
ly well defined course marked out. there
is an object to be attained. But in the
breeding OF ordinary farm stock there may
be q certain object to be attained, the
course to be followed in attaining such an
object however, is never clearly we'll de-
fined. This is due to ignorance. A farm
er usually does not think it such very
important matter to raise colt and there
fore he uses the mare he has for the pur-
pose. The farmer may desire to breed a
substantial farm horse, to attain this end it
would be folly to use mare that has not
some ofthe qualities to be perpetuated. A
mare should be used that has good free
working gait, is valuable on the farm, she
should be at least Ii hands high and
weigh from 1000 to 1900 pounds. All
other things being equal q weight in the
near neighborhood of 1900 is better than
lighter weight. Defec and blemishes
in form or constitution are often signs OF
weakness in that particular. and to that
extent are often here 1itary. Your mare
should be free from viciousness or bad
temper, of good constitution and healthy.
and even if you are not always successful
in the quality of colts produced. the
chances of success are much better for
taking this reasonable precaution.

NapOleOn's Carriage.
In Which He RODE TO Moscow AND TO
WATERLOO.


1t is quite in accordance with the irony Of
fate that the state carriages of the Third
Napoleon should be exhibited in England 1t
sixpence head. Not for the first time has
the genial Snowman made money out of the
carriages of Bonaparte. More than sixty
years ago an enterprising gentleman named
Bullock, the founder of the London museum,
now the Egyptian hall, Piccsdilly, wrote to
Mr.. William Jordan, afterwards well known
as the editor of the Literary Gazette, telling
him that he was about tn offer his collection
for public sale, but that he was resolved to
be his own auctioneer, and asking Mr.. Jer-
dan to write .'some kind Of little introduc-
tory address to be delivered on the occH-
sion. especially as regarded certain Bon
apaftian relic"-the famous imperial travel
ing carriage, which was captured BY party
Of Prussian dragons, commanded BY Baron
Kohler. on the night of Waterloo.
The history of the carriage 10 Of the most
curious nature. When il was lost Napoleon
and his staff fed from the field on horsepsek,
but the emperor was in wretched health and
could scarcely keep his saddle. At Philip
vile search was made for . carriage 70 con.
vey the imperial fugitive and his suite, but
nothing was found available for the purpose
beyond an old postchaise, half broken to
pieces. and in this dilapidated chariot the
vanquished usurper was about to resume HE
flight when some carriages belonging TO Mar
shall Soult entered the town and thess the
emperre's servants Immediately seized for
their masters use. Soult lost his carriages
and was prescribed into the bargain BY the
Bourbons for his adherancs TO Napoleon, bat
fate, always ironical, compensated him By
permitting him to live long enough 70 BE-
present a. the ambassador extraordinary Of
France At the coronation Of Queen Victoria.
In order to attend that memorable pageant
the marshal caused to bs built one Of the
grandest state carriages ever seen, the model
Of which was for many years familiar OBJ
ject in . cosch-trimmer's window in Long
acre. Napoleon's travelling carriage was
built at Brussels for the conveyance Of the
then master Of Europe on his fatal expedition
to Russia. Il carried him to Moscow and
back to Dresden and Paris. In 1914 it bore
him to the shores Of the Meditsfraneaa and
was shipped with him 70 Elbs. In March,
1916. the carriage was reshipped 70 Cannes.
NspoIeon's triumphsnt journey % Paris was
made in this carriage; nor would - quit it,
although state carriage had been dispatched
from the French capital to mess him.
