A famous woodsman once boasted that
he could find his way through wilderness
and return by the same path.
Being tested, he carried with him
slender thread, which should serve as a
guide for the return trip Reaching the
end of his journey, he lay down to rest.
While he rested came the genius of indus.

changed it to two shining ribbons of steel.

"THE FORTY wINKS."
Advantages to Bo Derived by Old Peopl
from an Afternoon Nap.

Advantages to so Derived by Old People
from an Afternoon Nap.
Sleep is closely connected with the
question of diet. Good sleeping" was
noticeable feature in the large ma
jority of DR.. Humphreys cases. Sound,
refreshing sleep is of the utmost conse-
quence to the health of the body, and
no substitute can be found for it as a
restorer of vital energy. Sleeplessness
is, however, often source of great
trouble to elderly people, and one
which is not easily relieved. Narcotic
remedies are generally mischievous;
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 q far worse
plight than before. In all cases the
endeavor should be made to discover
whether the sieeplessness be due to
any removable cause, such as indi-
gestion, cold, want of exercise, and the
like. In regard to sleeping in the day
time, there Is something to be said both
for and against that practice. A nap
of '.forty winlzs" in the afternoon en-
ables many aged people to get through
the rest of the day in comfort, whereas
they feel tired and weak when deprived
OF this refrcshment. If they rest well
at night there can be no objection to
the afternoon nap. but If sleeplessness
be complained of, the latter should be
discontinued for Il time. Most old
people find that a reclining posture,
with the feet and legs raised, is better
than the horizontal position for the
afternoon nap. Digestion proceeds
with more ease than when the body is
recumbent. DIR. Robson Roose. in Fort

PRISON Cnts ana Rnts.

There are a great number of gaunt,
tierce-looking cats around the Tombs,
and they are held in esteem because
they wage a bitter warfare against the
rats and keep their numbers down to
some reasonable limit. At times when
the rats are unusually shy or scarce.
these cats grow very hungry, and they
are compelled to transfer their after
ton to the pigeons which fly about
the gloomy structure in great num-
bers. Nobody ever disturbs these
pigeons, and they would probably in
crease so as to become a nuisance if it
We're not for the cats. The pigeons
frequently fly down into the prison
yard in search of food, and they are
daily visitors at the pump. The cats
crouch in the shadow of the walls on
behind some box or barrel and watch
for hours without motion. Finally
a pigeon, lulled to a sense of security
by the apparently slumbering cat
will approach within reach of spring,
and in the twinlSling of an eye the cat
is upon her. One of the keepers said
that scores of these prison birds are
killed every year by the cats.-1ht

GOWNS OF ALL KINDS
How to Dress and What to Make
Your Clothes Of.

No longer do we see the colored glass
ware which for number of years has
been in vogue For table use especially
it could never give the elegancy or bril-
iancy that the heavy glittering cut glass
which adorned the tables of our grand
mothers did. / was ENDURING OF one
whose business is in glassware what
would be the popular ware for the COM
ing season for our table decorations ana
toilet articles, and was informed that the
cut glass would regain It's old favor ana
be universally used. | saw some new ana
pretty designs in this which would pc IN
vogue during the winter, and though the
colored glass looked very pretty indeed
its glory was quite diminished by the
glittering crystal
Jugs and large pitchers Of cut glass
will be popular for table use and low nat
dishes with q narrow curling edge are
shown for olives. Goblets will be used
and will be replaced for tumblers OF eS-
quisite designs.
The wine jug. where wine is not used,
need not be hidden away and its beauty
remain unseen. They may be filled with
water and placed beside the cut glass
bowl which holds the Jumps of ice, walt
ing to be transferred by the heavy silver
ice tongs to the tumblers. The salad
bowl of porcelain or silver is now replaced
by one OF finely cut glass, through which
green leaves are shown. Glass spoons
with heavy silver handle are used to dish
the salad. Low glass bowls are used for
fruit. which should be arranged low in
them. In the winter let the fruit be or
anges and graves arranged with bay
leaves or myrtle.
Crystal candelabras for five, seven or
nine candles have the old fashioned pris-
matte pendants attached, which CLEAN

rainbow with rare beauty. The designs
OF these are many and beautiful, and the
effect much finer than can be obtained III
other wares. In toilet articles have no
ticed that the powder boxes are round,
rather large and cut in the diamond de-
signs, A finger bowl of fine cut glass
now accompanies the manicure set.
Now is the time for those who have
boarded up the cut glass articles that
have been family heirlooms, for no one
can tell how many years, to bring them
out and display them before the jealous
eyes of their less fortunate friends.

A Simple Sign.

A Simple Sign.
1t was in q grocer's window
That she saw a simple sign,
And she stopped and slowly read it
While her blue eyes seemed to shine.
Then with scornful lips she murmured,
AS she tossed her pretty hat,
How wish that men were labelled
With good plain sign, like that"
So when she had passed ventured
Near that favored grocer's shop,
And espied this simple legend:
''This Corn Warranted to Pop" Puck.
