taught TO sleep quietly on an empty
stomach. The brute creation resent
an effort TO coax them 10 such viola
ton of the laws Of nature. The lion
roans in the forest until he has
found his prey. and when he has de
voured il he sleeps until he needs an
other meal. The horse will paw all
night in the stable, and the pig will
squeal in the pen. refusing all rest OF
sleep until they are fed. The AMI
mails which chew the cud have their
own provision just before dropping of
10 their nightly sIumbers. Man can
train himself TO the habit Of sleeping
without preceding meal, but only af
ter a long years Of practice. As he
comes into the world nature is toe
strong for him and he must be fed be
fore he will sleep. A child's stomach
is small. and when perfectly filed, Il
no sickness disturbs it, sleeps natural
ly. As digestion goes on the stomach
begins TO empty. A single fold in il
will make the little sleeper restless;
two will waken il; il il is hushed
again to repose the nap is short, and
three folds put an end to the slumber.
Paregoric or other narcotic may close
its eyes again, but without either food
or some SIMPLIFYING drug it will not
sleep, no matter how healthy il may
be. Not even an angel who learned
the art OF minstrelsy in celestial choir
can sing baby to sleep ON an empty
stomach.

Tbe EIopemenf Season.

The young woman whose romantic
demands have not been fully met by
the closing summer resort season, has
just started out 10 retrieve herself and
bring increased joy TO the hearts OF
her mates. She has done this by
opening the elopemen. season at a
much earlier date than usual. This
intensifies the growing interest in the
newspapers, supplies romance to all
the girls who have somehow failed TO
meet In a campaign Of summer flirting
and makes the clipping girl greater
heroine than she could possibly be-
come by a quiet, proper wedding in
church or at home. with the usual mr.
ray Of bridesmaids and presents.
Philosophers and social economists
have cudgled their brains for many
years to account for the gradual bat
undoubted increase Of Opponents.
Some have claimed that the moving
cause was the desire for romance.
Others have attributed 1t 10 the ex'
ceeding cheapness Of this method OF
getting married. But the majority
have agreed that the young girl has
become anxious to escape the butter
knives. cheap spoons, clocks and rugs
with impossible horses and dogs so
freely sent young brides, and that an
elopement is the best and easiest way
10 avoid this infection. The early
opening Of the season ought to enable
the philosophers and economists to
reach a wise conclusion and report by
next year.-[Philadelphia Times.
