Sleep More Necessary Than Food.

Every household should teach and en-
force respect for sleep. That is TO say
that healthy young persons, who sit up late
at nights or are out very late, should be suf-
fered to sleep past the breakfast hour by
too indulgent elders. Ii they need so much
sleep you must fix the retiring hour earlier
But enjoin respect for the sleep of young
children, old folks and weak persons Sleep
is such restorer that it is poor economy to
waken an invalid by bringing in the break
fast tray, or ringing breakfast bell loudly,
when an old person is happily resting in
sleep. The house duties mus. go on, and
fixed hours for meals are the only possible
routine for home regularity. 1t need not
be an iron-bound regularity in the cases
named. when an hours longer sleep makes
more difference to the repair of the elderly
or the invalid than the hottest breakfast
that can be served to them. Food is the
household idol-too much of an idol in
some places. Il is not always what people
need that is, cooked food. A later break
fast OF some apples or grapes and slice of
bread, will do more good than a beefsteak
thrust on the half-awake stomach before it
is ready. No housekeeper need be discour-
aged, therefore, from letting child have
its sleep out, and other children should be
taught to respect the sleep of others; to en-
ter room noiselessly, and not to call or
shake the sleeper. A Sundays noon sleep
to person overworked all the week long,
does more good than the Sunday dinner, if
the house provider could only see it in that
way; and if any such body drops asleep
after well-digested sermon, it may be, do
not interfere with the proper uses of the
day-for rest-by insisting on slice of roest
beef instead. The importance of food is
vastly overratedin this country; and in pro-
portion we underrate the natural susten-
ance of sleep.

A Lime-KIln Club Picnic,

Delegates to the annual election and pic
mic of the Lime-kiln Club began arriving as
early as Thursday. and by Friday night at
least 600 honorary members had put in an
appearance. Every State in the Union ex-
cept Florida was represented, and the two
Canadas, Nova Scotia and Winnipeg sent
their best men.
1t has hitherto been the practice of the
club to hold the annual picnic on Fight
ing Island, eight miles below De-
troit, but this year the owner of the
island refused permission, claiming that
the Last meeting tore up thirty acres Of
ground in such awful shape that even bur-
dock wouldn't grow there this season. The
club therefore decided on dry-Iand ex-
cursion. and teams conveyed the members
to sylvan retreat about FIVE miles from
the city.
The first thing on the programme was an
address Of welcome by Brother Gardner,
from which the following interesting sts-
tistics are culled.

WE CAN MAKE HOME HAPPY.

Though VIC may not change the cottage
For a mansion tall and grand,
Or exchange little grass plot
For bouEdless stretch OF land
Yet there's something brighter, nearer

Though we have no means to purchase
Costly pictures, rich and rare;
Though we have no silken fangings
For the walls 80 cold and bare
We can hang them DER with garIands,
For flowers bloom everywhere.
We can always make home cheerful
If the right course begin;
We can make its inmates happy
And their truest blessings win.
Il will make the small room brighter
If We let the sunshine in
When we gather round the areside
When the evening hours are long.
We can blend our hearts and voices
In happy. social song;

Lead him from the path of wrong
We can FL our home with music

Bagdad.

A city of over 100 900 inhabitants, with
no place of public resort; where every
house resembles fortress or prison, the
ponderous doors opening upon narrow,
gloomy lanes winding between grim, bare
walls, and creaking heavily on their
hinges to reveal the low, dark, vaulted en-
trance that leads to the courtyard inside,
sometimes picturesque enough with pill
Jared verandas and srabesque lattices, but
always rambling uncomfortable, inconve-
nient uncared for, TO English ideas of what

OPTICAL EXPERIMENTAL contributor to
Cosmos suggests curious optical expert
ment which may serve to show the priuci-
pie Of the stereoscope. II we cut out of
black paper two similar igures-two Cross
es, for e1ample-and place them, their ex-
femities almost touching, at about three
inches from the ewes, before sheet Of
white paper, we shall see three crosses, the
middle one being dark and completely sep
arste. This phenomenon is explained by
the simultaneous vision Of the two eyes,
and it is easy to show this by Looking at the
objects successfully with one eye. The
experiment becomes still more interesting
when, instead of black figures, we employ
Complementary colors-red and green, for
example. In this case we must use dark
background, and there will appear a white
cross iii the middle.

short time since, while two telegraph re-

Selkirk Mountains, one of them was at

from stream. The bear endeavored to
carry him into the cave, but he placed his
arms around tree and beloved for his
companion, who came close to the bear
and emptied seven Winchester balls into
him. Seeing the seven balls did not make
him relinquish his hold, he caught the
ferocious animal by the ears and tried to
haul him off. This caused the animal TO
move little, thus enabling the friend to
pull his companions rifle from under the
bear. He then commenced pouring his
friends seven bullets into the bears head,
and had fired the last shot when the bear
rolled over. The trouble then was TO get
the jaws open to release his hold. This
was done by inserting the barrel of one of
the rifles and prying i, open The man

Clocks or THE WHITE HoUsE-There
are number of handsome and historical
clocks in the White House. The clock in
Colonel Lamont's room has in it cathe-
dral gong that has such charming sound
that persons frequently wait to hear it
strike. 1t is a modern affair, but has many
admirers. There is clock in Miss Cleye-
lands room that has been going without
the interruption of an hour for twenty-five
years. In the Presidents bedroom there
Is another beautiful clock. In the Blue
Parlor the famous clock, once the property
of Napoleon Bonaparte. and by him pre-
sented to General Lafayette, who in turn
presented it to President George Washing
ton, still keeps perfect time. 1t is of ala
baster and French gilt bronze. 1t runs for
thirty days at one winding. In the Red
Room Presiden. Lincoln's clock of ebony
and gold still strikes the quarters, halves
and hours with wonderful precision The
only American made clock in the White
House was manufactured in New York.

The mercy Of the Lord
Was the subject of the singer.
Twas the theme he loved the best,
lie had known that mercy long.
Could he measure or define it?
On no mortal could describe IL,
But he sought to tel the wonder
And the worth of il in song.
AS for man, his days are numbered,
Like the grass that fills the meadow,
little while he fiourisheth
And then he fades away;
Like the early mists of morning,
Like a short and soon told story
Like q swiftly flying arrow,
Is his transient night and day.
But our God lives on forever,
And his love is as enduring
AS-the poet found no words
That could utter vii he meant
For Gods mercy has 10 ending
And he found not its beginning
lis aye abiding mercy
And Ii never Can be spent.
81 he wrote From everlasting
and sgGin to everlasting"

The deep mystery they hold?
All the mind gets tired or guessing
and the dreamS-though.s cannot picture
and eternity alone
Gods great mercy can unfold.

In the corn wealth the land
IN the homes OF all the people,
And the common 10y and gludneSs,
But no language eau express It,
And no heart can understand
Then let no one dare to measure
Or restrict this boundless mercy.
And let every heart take comfort,

Each shares the Fathers mercy,

SOME OBJECTIONS ANSWERED.

It would seem that the needed legisla-

carry oil, in its integrity, the constitu-
tional amendment concerning school books,

saults Of ignorance as from vicious schemes.
Here, for instance, is the Overland Monthly,
assuming to be literary leader, and which
caitor;aliy speaks with a toploftineSs that
has the seeming Of proftmdity and dignity,
lending its influence to propagate false
ideas relative to the law, 1t says;
An amendment to the Constitutional Calfor-
MIA has just been adopted which we cannot bur
regret Ii removes the selection Of textbooks
from the hands Of the County Board OF Educa-
ton. and places Il in the hands of a state Board
created by the same amendment. This provision
VIC think wise; though We 80 not think the
Board we'll constituted, and some wise steps
have already been taken under it, in the way of
reducing the number and simplifying the sys-
TEN Of textbooks. The general principle Of
local management of>choois is doubtless sound,
but under our California conditions Il seems
well 70 haze some conpetent central authority
