Frenchman standing before an English

A Presidential Cabinet Album.

The bureau of printing and engraving
at Washington has completed its addi-
ton to the cabinet album for the present
administration. 1t is probably not gen
orally known that such an album exists.
1t is a custom for the bureau to prepare
fine steel engravings of each President
and his cabinet. These engravings are
in the highest style of the art, and when
bound in corresponding style make a
handsome and unique volume. The
book thus made contains the portraits of
each President and his cabinet from
Washington down, also views of the
White House, capitol, etc, Only a sutfi-
cient number of copies are made to pre-
sent the President and members of his
cabinet with one each, and retain one
copy at the bureau of printing and en-
craving The volume is very interest
ing one, and, of course, quite rare, for al
though there have been twenty-one
Presidents and 212 cabinet officers since
the beginning of Presidents and cabinets
in 1889, the number is very small in a
nation of $4,000, 900, and the habit of
printing these books only dates back
half that time

Sleep.


Sleep is to the brain what rest is to the
muscles. Sleep is a craving more impor-
tunate than hunger. Among some of the
ancients, deprivation of sleep was used
as punishment. This cruelty was in
flicted by the Romans upon Perseus, and
the Cathaginians deprived Regulus of his
eye-lids in order to make him so far
sleepless.
There are three kinds of sleep. First,
natural; second, pathological; third, ar
tificial.
The length of time that should be de-
voted to natural sleep, it is not easy to
determine. Amaxim of the school of Sa-
lerno runs thus:
'Rise at six, and eat at ten;
Eat at six, and bed at ten;
Ten times ten years
You may live then"
A child spends more than half its life
in sleep. An adult should spend one.
third of his. The aged sleep but little,
though in extreme old age the habit Of
infancy often returns.
Girls and women require more, but
generally get less than men. An hours
sleep before midnight is worth more thar
an hour after midnight. Saint Francis,
of Sales, used to say that "Early rising
preserves health and holiness"
Insomnia, or sleeplessness, is common
especially among mothers with young
children, and among the victims of over
work and anxiety. Students in college
often complain of slesplessness. 1t is &
perilous thing to resort to drugs. The
only real cure is found in physical labor
Fatigue from exercise in the open air il
almost invariably followed by sound
sleep.-DjO Le1ois's MonAIy.

AdnlteratiOn in Butter.

When oleomargarine was first brought
into public notice there was good deal
of opposition to its introduction, as af-
fording the ready means of deceiving buy
ers, no matter how much better it might
be than poor butter, how entirely harm
less and how thoroughly cleanly were the
methods of its manufacture. Laws were
therefore passed in several of the States
prohibiting its manufacture and sale, only
as all the packages should be distinctly
branded with the name 'oleomargarine. I"
The farmers and dairymen were most
anxious for this legislation. But since
these laws were passed there has sprung
up large business in what is called "but-
terinc, " which usually consists of little
good creamery Butter and an admixture
of oleomargarine oil and neutral lard. The
latter is simply lard with all taste re-
moved, which increases its cost only about
a cent pound; but the butterine thus
made is hardly distinguishable by the best
judges from a fine creamery butter, under
which designation great deal of it is
now coming to market. The winter is
the best season for palming off this adul-
teration, as it does not keep as hard as
genuine butter in the warm weather.

Neither Written Nor Printed.

Perhaps the most singular curiosity in
this book world is a volume that belongs
to the family of the Prince de Ligne, and
is now in France. 1t is entitled, ''The
Passion of Christ, and is neither written
nor printed. Every letter of the text is
cut out of lief, and being interleaved
with the blue paper, it is as easily read
as the best print. The labor and patience
bestowed in its completion must have
been excessive, especially when the pre-
cision and minuteness OF the letters are
considered. The general execution in
every respect is indeed admirable and the
the volume is of the most delicate and
costly kind. Rudolph H., Of Germany,
offered for it, in 1910, 1900 ducats,
which was probably equal to 6O,OO0 at
this day. The most remarkable circum-
stance connected with this literary treas
ure is that it bears the royal arms Of
England, but when it was in that country
and by whom owned has never been
ascertained.

New York FASHIONS in Hosiery.

Black stockings still prevail for general
use, but there is an effort to revive the
fashion of having the hosiery match the
dress. Solid colors, with embroidery in
open designs, and in thick work, are
chosen, says fashion authority, for hand
some silk stockings, fine Balbriggans,
and for those of Isle thread; the embroid .
cry begins at point on each side and
widens until it almost meets the instep,
and this needle work, as well as the plain
est clocks must be of the color of the
stocking, not in contrast to it. For the
street, black gray, navy blue, emerald
green and dark cardinal-not scarlet-are
the colors most used. To match suits
there are golden brown stockings with
tan-color, seal, brown, Judic, mouse and
blue-gray. For evening toilets are flesh
tints, salmon and pale coral; pearl white
stockings are worn only by brides. Ribbed
silk stockings cling to the leg, and are
warm enough for out-of door use in win
ter; raw silk stockings are also for street
use, and with fleece Innings are comforta-
bic in the coolest weather. Ribbed Bal
briggan hose, made of the finest sea-island
cotton, are shown in all the dark colors,
with white soles that have fresh and
,leanly appearance; these are especially
liked in black, navy blue, seal brown and
cardinal.

For Sweetheart and Swain.

Love knows hidden paths.
Love makes labor light
Love makes time pass away, and Fne
makes love pass away.
Love me little, love me long.
Love one that does not love you,
answer one that does not call you,
and you will run a fruitless race.
Love others well, but love thyself the
most; give good for good, but not to
thine own cost.
Loves rules his kingdom without a
sword.
Love subdues everything except a
felon's heart.
Love, knavery and necessity make men
good orators.
Love, thieves and fear make ghosts.
Love your friend with his faults
Love your neighbor, but don't pull
down his fence.
Lovers purses are tied with cobwebs.
Lovers quarels are love and redoubled.
Lovers think others have no eyes.
