HOW 10 SLEEP.


The Position which Every Sleeper should
Aim to Secure.
In sleeping much depends on secur~
ing a comfortable position. Lying on
the back would seem to give the most
ease, but general experience and prac-
tice prove that it does not, and it is LA
BILE to some definite objections. In
weakly state of the heart and blood
vessels, and in certain morbid cOndi-
tiOns of the BRAIN the blood seems to
gravitate to the back of the head, and
TO produce troublesome dreams. Per-
sons who have contracted chests, and
who have had pleuTisy and retain ad-
hesiOns of the lungs, do not sleep well
on the back. Nearly all who are in-
Clin0d TO snOre do so i'm that position,
For these and otherreasons it is, there
fore, better to lie on the side, and In
lung diseases to lie on the weak side,
so as TO leave the healthy lung free TO
expand. To is well to choose the right
side, because when the body is thus
placed, the food gravitates more easily
out of the stomach into the intestines.
Sleeping with the arm thrown over
the head is to be deprecated; but
this position is often assumed during
sleep, because circulation is then tree
i'm the eNtremities and the head and
| neck and the muscles i'm the chest are
| drawn up and fixed by the shoulders,
| and thus expansion of the thOraN is
| easy. The chief objections TO this pO-
sitiOn are that it creates a tend8n0y 10

Girl8 ouVht 81 be modest iu their de-
meanOr and more gentle than hoys.
II Is entirely right for them to run and
Jump and be as lively as they like, pro-
vided they are not rude and over-boist-
Crous in their play.
10 Is very delightful TO see merry,
laughing girl scampcring over the
grass with her kitten or her dog, or en-
gagged i'm any other active play; but it
seems TO me that she can do these
things i'm a perfectly free manner With
out becoming a tOm-bOy. Don't you
think SOP If you will try and not imi-
tate the rough ways Of boys, not to
shout at the top of your voice md not
to be violent you will enjoy your play
just as much, and people will like you
the better for it.
There are, fear, a good many other
rules for the guidance of girls. Per-
haps you think you have heard enough
about good manners for once; but here
are some other rules that ! must tell
you, and then you can run of to your
! playP
Don't be a slattern Noatness and
cleanliness are among the first requisites
| of decent society.
Don't sit with your legs crossed, OF
with one leg over your knee. These
things are not considered well-brcd.
Don't bite your finger nails or play
| with your curls, or restlcssly twirl q
chair, or finger any object when you
/ are In company. You must try and
! get a quiet and composed manner.
Don't, when you are in church, look
! around and stare at everybody who
| enters. Don't disturb everybody by
! your restlessness.
Dom fail to thank any one who does
! you any service or O. kindness.
Don't point at people you see in the
! streets, and don't fail to respond TO
/ every bow of recognition.
! Don't be impatient because things 90
! wrong; don't be angry because you
| can't have your own way.
| Don't say unkind things about your
| playmates, and don't be enviOus and
/ out of temper because another girl has
| a pretter gown or bonnet than you
! have. II Is impossible for any girl TO
! have everything she wants. 1t is fool
! ish to fret and make ourselves unhappy
| because some one is better off than we
are.
Don't use slang terms No one likes
to hear from the lips of girl or woman
the coarse and fast terms that happen
to be the vulgar fashion of the time.
Don't be in the habit of giggling.
| Laugh openly and freely at whatever is
laughable, but unless there is some
thing to laugh at don't laugh. Don't
cover your face with your hands when
! you have occasion to laugh.
Don't be affected. Try to have a
simple and natural manner Anything
that is affected is exceedingly Disagree

"Letters written here for private

the place is an old school-teacher who
followed his calling " hen Chicago was
little more than a frontier town He
is an odd character and the curious
traits in his disposition are miTored in
his surroundings They are full Of
strange contrasts. The windows are
thiCkly coated with dust while the floor
of the little shop is serupulOusly clean.
A number of old books and pamphlets,
musty and time-wOrn, are ranged on
row of shelves back of the counter.
These books look as if years had past
since they had been taken from their
places last while apparently the only
object of the old man care, so far as
was revealed to the eye, was a stack of
white wrlting-paper and a goodly as
sOrtment Of pens and peT-hOlders that
occupied place on his desk.
All these were kept in the best of
orderi the writing-paper was neatly
piled up by the side of a huge ink-stand
which was fastened to the dosl by
means of brass clamps Pencils, PEN
holders, blOtting-paper, and erasers
were within easy reach of the old gem

How He Wastes His Health and Money in
SenasIsss Haste.
He was dressed in the tip of fashion
and a valet stood by his side while the
porter blacked his boots in the entry
way leading to the Hoffman house bar
room. The youngman threw the Irish
man a half dollaOfor the job, and then
stepped to a table not far away, ordered
a pint of champagne, drank it, and
sauntered out "You have just seen a
perfect type of the young New Yorker, "
said friend, who knew the fellow who
was so well dressed and who gave the
boOtblack fifty cents for a shine, "He
is a broker whOis just blooming out for
himself, and has made fat deal.
Money is no object to him just now,
and he is hunting any new vice or eK-
travagance he can find His life will

length of time his designations will kill

pensive Chance has brought him a
fortune, and it is handed out as easily
as it came in. If themau who polished
his boots got fifty cents, the boy who
served his breakfast probably received
a dollar. While this practice gets him
well waited upon, it compols other
people to be equally exlravagant or be
slighted This lavish tipping Of wait
