THE BEsr NERyIxE.


Psychologists agree that an abundance
of sleep is needed by all, in order to do the
best work, enjoy the best health and tine
longest life.
Thinking and doing both use up the
forces Of the system more rapidly than they
reeuperate, hence it is necessary 10 lay by
a part OF every twenty four hours for re-
pairs, and thus accumulate new strength
for recurring duties. Many die yearly from
lack of sleep, the wear having been greater
than the repairs.
Whoever, by work, pleasure, sorrow, CT
any other cause, is regularly diminishing
sleep, is shortening life. The vital forces
become SO impaired that disease follows.
Blues, sleeplessness, neuralgia, petu-
lance, heartache, dyspepsia, hypochondria,
insanity, aud death ali may be caused by a
lack Of sleep.
The number OF hours required for sleep
for an adult varies from six to ten, accord
ing to the temperament, yigor, duties, and
mental condition Of the person. Cutter
and others say that women need more
sleep than men. It is claimed by some
that persons who think and work fast will
sleep more in an hour than slow people,
and thus require less number Of hours
for rest. This is certainly false and absurd
reasoning. Persons Of active, energetic,
highly nervous temperament do not build
up more readily than others, and by great
activity of mental force, added to all they
do, wear out more rapidly, hence require
more sleep-not less than eight hours, and
some as many as ten. They may seem to
require less because they are so much in
terested in whatever claims their attention
that after moderate amount Of sleep they
find it easy to be wide awake.
Energetic people need not be afraid Of
sleeping too much. Persons who feel I'M
comfortable After sleeping may generally
trace their bad feelings to other causes than
too much sleep, which may have been
heavy by an unhealthy condition of the
blood, want of ventilation or obstructed
circulation from improper clothing or po-
sition. No one should became so fatigued
by work of muscle or brain that a.good
nights rest will not follow and afford com
plete recuperation. No love Of being con
sidered Smart or Of fine cookery, or bus
ness, or wealth, or pleasure, can justify
perseverance, BY wearing out life's forces
without carefully affording daily opportu-
nifty for recuperation.
Only care of the sick can excuse lack
of so essential duty as that OF securing a
sufficient amount Of this great "restorer.
balmy Sleep It should be taken regu-
larly, if possible, when the light and noise
and hustle Of the day cease.
It IS important to have several hours
sleep before midnight, and better to sleep
during the shade Of night than when the
sun bids all things astir; yet it is better to
take a nap during the day than not to
sleep enough
Indeed, little nap before the noon meal
will rest the nerves and promote digestion.
Stimulants Of any kind should not be re-
sorted in hope Of gaining strength. They
" i'll only help to use mp Che latent powers
of the system.

There are many marriages which are true
except money matters. There is the CON-
non home, the common name, the common
interest in all other affairs of daily life, but
there is not a common pocket-book. The
husband earns the money. The wife
is a pauper; unless she has something
which stands in her own name, which has
come to her by Inheritance or otherwise;
she is regarded as dependent on her hus-
band. What she has lie gives her. She
is pensioner on his bounty. Often his
thoughtlessness, orsomething worse, makes
it necessary for her to become beggar.
She is obliged to explain and justify her
request for the means to supply her own
and the children's daily needs. While as
for little comforts and Injuries, she does
without them rather than incur the disagree
able discussions of their necessity if she
asks her husband for the money which they
would cost. The happiness of many a
home has been shipwrecked on this rock.
And there is many another in which the
wife is really loved by the husband, who
never suspects that he is not fair and even
generous in all his financial relations to
his family, but in which there would be a
new and deeper happiness and more COM
plete union if the same oneness which is
recognized in all other matters were extend
ed to the family.

her throne, she sailed away on the Mediter-

of the boat some shawls and scarfs aud rich
