For Those Who Sleep in Church.

A physician who was asked for re-.
sons why people became drowsy in
church, and if there was any rcmed;
for chronic cases, said that the drowsy
feeling:in church was often due to bad
construction. to overwhelming, and to
the general quiet and composing sur
roundings. Il have often" said he,
advised patients of mine who are trou-
bled with insomnia to try quiet church
where the preacher was not too energet-
ic In his manner, and in most cases the
result has been gratifying. Tho poor
man who has almost become wild
through want of sleep: generally obtains
relief and falls off into gentle and re-
freshing slumber. Many people suffer-
ing in this way take ride in rail-
road train for relief, and often Get it,
but nothing has Succeeded 50 well lis
the Sunday morning service in. quiet
church. Il those people however. WHO
do not need to sleep Etchnrrh and do
not want to would drink very : ronr tea
Or coffee before going to the church they
might find it effective, but by no m,.:,iis
healthy. Why do you soc, the bah.
beads holding most in church? Because
the old are more susceptible to tho in.
tuence OF such surroundings. The won,-
en- seldom go to sleep. because they arc
50 dressed that to sleep would ba,:,lnnost
impossible. If the lnc.I woulI lace
themselves up tight they might keep
awake, too, but in the words OF Gen.
Knickerbocker, They cawn.t'd do it, yoa
kuow.' "-Fhiladelphia Record. -

Happy Gov. Long.

Gated, sgood-looking Yankee school,

quarters at one of the elegant, quiet
hotels of Washington and his pleasant
face wears a pleasant smile all day
long. He takes, if anything, better
caro- of his clothes and hair than ever,
and he looks, in the vernacular of his
own state of Massachusetts,, las happy
as clam at high tide" Gov. Long,
l doubt not, makes splendid, lover.
He has trained himself to say good
thing whenever it will answer just as
we'll as saying a mean thing about a
mar, and his face is readier to smile
than to frown. He is . perfect gentle
man. and he looks it. He is good
scholar, snd he has done som very ex-
cellent literary work in the way of
poetry. Gov. Long translated the
EneiI while he was Lieutenant Gov
ernor of Massachusetts,. He is fine
classical scholar. and during the last
fe. months has been devotng himself
more to the love songs of Ovid and
Anacreon than to the heroics or the
epics. Gov. Long has 3 fair chance OF

cloth From Cnin..e Notices.

- OxOGA rum S4AA0O0 ~ 0GVA0Bs
Manufacturers Gazette: Grass cloth
is likely to have a more extensive mar
ket than formerly. It is Chinese pro-
duction, specimens of which come to
us generally in the shape of banker
chiefs. The material is q fiber, not
grass, and q: species OF nettles.
Those nettles are carefully
cultivated in China, where they grow
in great quantities, as they do in India
and Ceylon. In India. hith erto no
marked attempt of cultivation has been
made. They are free from the sting
ing character of the ordinary nettles.
In Ceylon and India, where the plants
grow Wild, these nettles are cut just
about the time of seeding and bleached
by the assistance of the heavy night
dews and the hot midday suns, and
the fibers gathered together and spun
into ropes of thin twine, from which
coarse mating is made. This print
tive way of treating the nettles is not
followed in China, and, indeed, the
employment of the fibre silk for COM
mercial purposes seems to be Chinese
secret. Not only is the texture of the
cloth manufactured from this fibre very
beautiful it is principally remarkable
for its splendid gloss and peculiar trans
parency but it is extremely strong and
durable. Betting for machinery has
already been made with the China
grass fibre, and on being tested it was
found that it could bear a strain of
1926 pounds to the square inch, where
as leather could only sustain pressure
OF 4,249 pounds to the square inch. So
soon as manufacturers and cOsumers
have had a sufficient time for exp RI
menting We may expect to see grass
cloth very generally used.

Babyhood: Little Johnny, aged five,
was greatly taken with the circus
posters and begged his papa to take
him to the circus. He could get no
promise from him, however, until, max
ing last beseeching appeal on circus
day, his father replied, "Well, Johnnie,

his father, looking very dubious indeed
at such scanty privilege, until,

BLUE SKIES.

Sad twilight trails her heavy clouds
Into tae night. One sullen zone
OF mist, in nearer circling shrouds,
Sweeps out the hills our love has known.
Cold blasts 60 sobbing overhead,
When bark! the west winds herald cries.
And, by his sweet persuasion led,
Behold one far faint sparkle sped
Thro' rifted mists. keep glad eyes,
Dream happy things. Above are.spread
u Blue skies! i TIL
Life, eager heart OF mine, is STORM
Thou canst not part the lowering years.
Closer and deeper fathoms form,
Thy near horizon wells in ears.
The world drifts from thy yearning signs,
But bark! what free wind hitber flies,
Singing Of strange, unseen delight!
A star shines in the death-wrack's flight!
p Dream thou Of morn and Paradise;
Over thy grave shall watch tonight
:; Blue skies!

4 writer in Nature thinks the design
of black skin is to protect the deli
cate tissues beneath. Flesh is very
translucent to strong light, and there
IS no doubt that the rays of tropical
sun would light up white mans con-
siderably, whereas black skin would
stop out the solar energy of light, heat
and chemical rays etfectually. Skin
heat is of no Importance, as perspira-
ton can always keep that down.
