When you lie down to sleep you
have your choice of doing either one
of two things-you can sleep like
Christian or fiend but you can't
do both. In the case of Christian
the act of breathing is simple; the
air passes to and fro between the
lungs and the limitless expanse of
the universe through the channels OF
the nose. There is another channel
through the mouth, which communi-
Gates with the lungs, and these two
channels unite in little cavity just
below the Velum pendulum palati, or
as the doctors sometimes call it, the
soft palate, which is attached by one
end to the bone covering the roof of
the mouth. This bone is bounded in
front and at the sides by the alveolar
arches and the gums; behind it is
continuous with the soft palate, or, as
il is commonly called, the Velum
pendulum palati. The roof OF the
mouth, which is covered by dense
structure formed by the periosteum
and mucous membrane ofthe mouth,
is sometimes called the hard palate.
Well, no Y, one end Of the soft palate
If I may be allowed to use the pro-
fessional name-is fast to the hard
palate. The other end hangs out in
intimate space, like the leg Of an old
lady backing out of a carriage, wild
ly feeling for the ground with one
foot. This loose end of the soft pal
ate is lightly and easily moved by
the air as your mortal breath breezes
itself along the avenue to and from
the lungs. The lungs, my dear
child, are your breathing things
your bellows, to speak professionally
like Professor Sullivan, the great an
ti-prohibitionist slugger.
Now, when a sleeping Christian
breathes, he breathes through his
nose alone. When the air passes
through the nose it gently presses
the swaying end of the palate down
upon the tongue The vibration is
greatly impeded, if not entirely
checked, and no sound is produced.
But if you hold your mouth wide
open while you sleep, so that the two
currents of air pass in and out
through the nose and the mouth, the
soft palate is right in the path of
respiratory cyclone, it is thrown into
a state of violent vibration commo-
ton, it flaps and flutters back and
forth like a robe dc nuit, ON the
clothes line on raw and gusty day
IN March, and you snore like a police
man, According to the rapidity or
slowness of the vibrations, the snore
is shrill and sonorous, or profoundly
deep and cultural. So, if you snore,
or think you do, you know now how
you may easily prevent it. Put a
baseball in your mouth when you lie
down, or you can fasten your mouth
shut with screws and thongs of leath-
er ; or, you may sleep out on the
painless prairie, far from any human
habitation, and no one will care how
much you snore.

the matrimonial relation fool but her
actua! Or possible reasons for this preference
must be discovered by moro penetrating dis
sectors of human nature than myself.
Dooittle astonished his parents nightly
when he informed them, with unusual blunt
ness and energy, that he had fallen in love.
Astonishment with the old people quick
" ran on into fear; for in a brain
so weak as his what might not love accom-
plish? They tremblcd lest they should
hear him say that some pretty milliner or
shop girl had conquered him. for he affected
little fiirtations of thut sort When, therefore,
the young smpleton gave the name of Car
Temple, his parents could not altogether con-
ceal their feelings Of RELIEF 1t is Tie Their
acquaintance with the Temples was the sll%s t
est in the world; but still sh" was lady, ard
they accepted her as daughter-in-law prospc-
tive without any hesitation. Ecu Drcd With
this permission, Dooiittle flew of own street,
not intending to call OH his beloved, or, IL
deed, to do anything in particular, WheE, rs
the fates would have it, h" tNmbled iii" Il s
love-making in this fashion. Who should he
see, swimming gracefully up the drowsy
street, but Car herself, tall, elegant and alto
gether bewitching Doolittle's heart flow into
his mouth. He slackcned speed, lest he should
come upon her before ho had braced his nerves
for the meeting, and while he loitered, Car
turned into hnbrrdasher's shop He now
drew near cautiously, and SOON spied her
seated at the counter trying on gloves. Doc
little, never wholly responsible Icing, was
SO fluttered that his behavior for the next
few seconds must have had something me
chanical in it. Hc stola into tho shop, and
Car was surprised to hear chair softly
drawn across the floor toward her, and before
she could look up it was placed at her side;
and then she saw Doolittle sinking into it, his
eyes fixed on her face all the time as if ne had
been magnetized Car felt the absurdity Of
the situation, but with readiness which her
mother would have praised, she resolved not
to let the shop people seq anything to laugh
at. So she gave Doolttle lively little nod,
rs if his conduct were the most natural in the
world, and holding up pair Of gloves, she
asked her admirer il they were not pretty
color.
"Captal gloves, should say" he replied.
"Do let me pay for tfcm!"
"Pay for my gloves" cried Car, breaking
now into a hearty laugh at his absurdity.
20, do let me pay for them," he went on,
pleadingly. The girl in this shop is such
nice girl-such q tremendously nice girl. 1
often buy gloves for her; she is 30 nice. Do
let me pay for your gloves"
awe never pay here" Car replied, happy
in her excuse "Everything goes down in
mammals bill"
II nm sorry for that" the lover answered
II should have liked to pay for your gloves.
O, how arc you: Arc you very well?" he
asked, addressing the shop girl, who had re-
turned by this time.
She blushed at his salutation till she was
like one of the beauties on her own glove
boaes.
