The first settlements Of Illinois were made in
the southern portion Of the state. The land
was new and rich, and yielded abundantly
with but little cultivation. But there were no
means Of transportation, or markets, and money
was scarce and hard to get, and old fashioned
picayune looking as big as the bottom Of
half bushel, and was carefully boarded to meet
some contingency. As result Of this state Of
things all The surplus population regularly every
spring took up their line Of march to the Calena
lead mines, where they worksd during the
summer, and as regularly every fall took up
their line Of march for their homes in the
southetn part Of the state. This being the
habit ofthat numerous family Of fish called
suckers, which then, as nov, ascended the
streams, in the spring and descended in the
fall, he bands Of Illinois settlers iluctuating be-
tween their homes and the mines soon became
known as suckers, and later on the name was
generally spilled, and Illinois became known
as the Sucker state, and her people as suckers.

Sleep is closely connected with the cues
ton of diet; good sleeping" was a notice
able feature in the large majority of DIR.
Humphreys cases Sound, refreshing sleep
is of the utmost consequence to the health OF
the body, and no substitute can be found for
it as a restorer of vital energy. Sleepless-
ness is, however, often source of great
trouble to elderly people, and one which is
not easily relieved. Narcotic remedies are
generally mischevous; their first effects may
be pleasant, but the habit of depending upon
them rapidly grows until they become indiS-
pensable When this stage has been reached
the sufferer is in far worse plight than be-
fore.
In all cases the endeavor should be made to
discover whether the sleeplesSneSS be due to
any removable cause, such as indigestion,
cold, want of exercise, and the like In re-
gard to sleeping in the daytime, there is some
thing to be said both for and against that
practice. A nap of forty winks" in the az
ternoon enables many aged people to get
through the rest of the day in comfort,
whereas they feel tired and weak when de-
prived of this refreshment If they rest well
at night there can be no objection to the af-
ternoon nap, but if sleepleSsness be complain
ed of, the latter should be discontinued for a
time Most old people find that a reclining
posture, with the feet and legs raised, is bet
ter than the horizontal position for the after
noon nap. Digestion proceeds with more
ease than when the body is recumbent.-Dr.

WHY.

In a suburban school the other day it fell
to the turn of a stout boy Of II to read the
following sentence for the account in the
reading book of the battle of Yorktown:
THE assault upon the British works was
made by $50 picked men from the American
ranks"
And the hoy read it:
The assault upon the British works was
made by $40 picked men"
The idea suggested by this reading was so
droll that the teacher asked the boy:
what do you suppose that means"
"Oh," said he, ~ suppose they took the
picked men SO they could run them through
the enemy'S ranks easier"
This brings TO the Listeners mind the no,
ton of his friend, little Pete, who, when he
was taken to see the turnout of militia last
fall, explained to his brother the use Of the
spiked helmets of the soldiery:
'They have those so that when they are
in battle they can duck their heads down
and bunt right into the enemy!'-Boston

The Ranks of the Hudson.

In 1909, after traversing the Hudson river
from it's mouth to Albany and carefully
noting the grandeur and beauty on either side
of this magnificent highway of nature, Hen
drick Hudson wrote these words:
ut is as beautiful land as one can tread
upon"
Two hundred and eighty years have marvel
ousy increased the beauty of the great river
called by his name, and could he return to the
scenes of his manhood he would find many
more lovely sights than those upon which his
eyes rested in the early part of the Seven
teeuth century. The natural beauties of the
Hudson are much the same, and no descrip-
tion can exaggerate them; but the magnifi-
cent steamers that ply between New York
and Albany, the innumerable sailing craft
that dot the surface Of the mighty river, the
never ending clusters of canal boats that are
being towedup and down, the beautiful villas
that one encounters at every turn, the mag
nificent monuments p8rpetuating heroic
deeds, that we find here and there along the
banks of this noblest river Of the continent,
adds an endless variety to the scenery and a
resistless chap the eve of the traveller.
