stall until he has had his meal. But
when he wishes to sleep himself he
never seems to think of it. To sleep,

self to sleep on an empty stomach, but
tits more the sleep of exhaustion than
the sleep of refreShment. Then he
wakes up after such troubled sleep
feeling utterly miserable until he has
had cup Of coffee or some other Stimu-
liant, and he has so injured the tone OF
his stomach that he has little appetite
for breakfast. Whereas one who allows
himself sleep after comfortable meat
awakes strengthened, and his appetite
has been Quickened by that preceding
indulgence.
The difficulty in recovering comes
from the fact that we are such creatures
of our habits it is impossible to break
away from them without persistent eff
fort. In this case the man who has
eaten nothing after O'Clock and re-
tires at 10 or IL takes to bed an empty
stomach, upon which the action of gas
trio juices makes him uncomfortable
all night. If he proposes to try our eX-
pertinent he will sit down and eat a toll
erably hearty meal. He is unaacuS-
toned to this at that hour, and has a
sense of discomfort with it. He may
try it once or twice, or even longer, and
then he gives it up, satisfied that for
him it is failure.

with his own notes. The title was
'Washington's Rules sof Civility and
Decent Behavior i'll Company and Con-

After leaving DR.. Toner looked over
Washington's rules, and some of them
seemed to be funny, as for example:

trepine, half-inch in diameter, was
used to bore through the skull. A but
ton Of bone was removed, and the brain
that was exposed was deep red color.
More of the bone was cut away
with fOrcepS, and what was
thought to be tumor, but
what. in fact. proved to be
a large blood eliot, was removed. The
brain had been compressed by the clOt,
but no attempt was made to remedy
this. A search would have been made
for the ruptured artery to see If 1t had
healed, but the patient suddenly col
lapsed and the attention of. the;suFgeOn
and attendants was directed to saving
the patients life. Artificial respiration
and stimulants, with three hours hard
labor. set the heart and lungs in motion
and the patient rallied. The wound in
the head was closed and the patient re-
turned to her cot. Death hung around
the cot for days. but finally buckled on
its wings and went out of sight.
The lOck-jaw had entirely diSap-
peared, but the paralysis remained.
After the inflammation due to the oper-
alton had passed away strength and SEN
Sation slowly came back to the muscles

injured during the tetanus that necrosis
set in and when the patient was strong
enough she was operated upon again.
The left half of the lower jaw, from
the chin to the articulation in front of
the ear. had to be cut out. 1t was very
rotten and crumbled easily between
the fingers 1t was bloody work,
as there are large number of
veins and arteries in the check, but care
was taken to disfigure the face as little
as possible, the incision was made along
the line of the bone, and this scar will
be nearly hidden by the flesh of the
cheek. The patient made a splendid
recovery from the second operation.
The surgeon made an artificial jaw of
ivory ana rubbes which can be used at
will, and is held in place ny suction and
pressure on the upper jaw. This com
pletely hides the deforInity, save the
scar. The paralysis is nearly gone, and
it is safe to say that the gum-chewing
habit has been cured.

Mrs. Frank Leslie Attempts to An
swer a Conundrum.
Is single person more likely to be
happy than double one? Are bachelors
and maids happier than married folk?
1t is big question,and perhaps will find
as many voices i'm the negative as in
the affirmative. The single person can
not be as unhappy as the double one.
and although the bliss of married life.
such as | at first described, is great. so
is also the misery of an ill-assorted
or disastrous marriage. The loneliness
of a loving heart is hard to bear. and
the longing for protecting and sympa-
thetic compani0nship is very sorrowful
and depressing, but the burden of ell
forced companionship with a husband
who has become an object of aversion
and terror is great deal harder to bear,
and the slavery of dependence upon an
unwilling and grudging master is far
more bitter and uncomfortable. 1t is,
after all, good deal like gambling.
You stake your dollar and you may win
five or you may lose all. Probably the
wiSest plan. certainly the most obvious
advice, is: Don't put up your dollar!

Moderate exercise in the open air is
doubtless beneficial. But excessive
dancing and skating are both Injurious
to women, especially before they
have acquired the full measure of
their physical powers. Horseback
exercise, which seems sue
eessfu means of strengthening
the English constitution, is often
times too violent for their less robust
transatlantic cousins. The American
soil and climate have given tempera-
ment to the race quite at variance with
that of the European family, and which
requires widely different treatment.

Sunday School Times.
Any observing parent will testify that,
on more than one occasion, his child has
come to him with new interest in a
thought or theme, inspired by the
words or example of a young compan-
ion, to the surprise of the parent-who
had before sought in vain to excite an
interest in that very direction. All that
the parent had said on the subject had
been of no value, in comparison with
that which had been said or done by the
child's companion, as another self.
Again, there are few parents who
have not found to their regret that their
child has received lessons and impulses
directly opposed to all the parental
counsel and purposes through brief
and comparatively unn0ticed compaD-
iollship that ought to have been guarded
against. And these are but illustrations
of the instructive and swaying power of
child companionship. Such power as
this ought not to be ignored or sighted
by any parent who would do most and
best for his child'S wise training.
