prone to pull her hair, and wanted to

paste, and though she says they have had
some regular hair pulling matches since,
her locks have held out. He thinks he is
torturing her, but he is only drawing on

The final word of physiology to the stu
dent is not to turn night into day. and to
never subtract from a due measure Of
sleep. No one needs regular and full
hours of sleep more than the brain worker.
believe we lose nothing by taking nine
hours of sleep; no one can do sound and
bountiful thinking with less than seven
or eight hours. We are creatures of
habit. 1t is all important that the young
be taught the need Of regularity. We
become sleepy at regular hours, if We
habitually take sleep promptly when tho
hour comes. Sleeplessness is brought
about by irregIlarity. So, again. if we
deduct from the regular hours given to
sleep. it becomes difficult to sleep at all.
Drugs compel it for a time, but no drug
exists which gives normal sleep, or fails,
in time, to make US its slave. Natural
sleep can come only by natural process.
Night, let it be understood, is not, and is
never, the time for study.
The very best rule is to study in the
morning before breakfast, before noon;
and again, if necessary, before the third
meal; but never in the evening. The
later hours of the day should be given to
sport, to light reading, and to those occu-
pations that relax the nerves. Let no
temptation whatever induce you to re-
turn to writing or study, or even letter
writing. or to anything annoying or ex-
citing, after in the afternoon. Defer all
matters liable to arouse and intensity at
tention or anxiety until morning. II you
have a worry let it alone till the early
hours; and so with any problem that
taxes the brain. Children should be for
hidden their books in tho evening We
shall be driven TO reverse the prevalent
fashion of turning night into day. The
night has the advantage of relative quiet.
but the disadvantage of being the true
time for sleep.-M. Maurice, II. D., in
