Plenty of Sleep.

A German specialist, DR.. Cold, has
recently pleaded for giving young peo-
pie more sleep. A healthy infant sleeps
most of the time during the first weeks {;
and in the early years, people are dis
posed to let children sleep as much as
they will. But from six or seven, when
school begins, there is a complete
change. AT the age of ten or eleven,
the child sleeps only eight or nine
hours, when he needs at least ten or
eleven, and as he grows older the time
of rest is shortened. DR.. Cold believes
that, up to twenty, youth needs nine
hours sleep and an adult should have
eight or nine. With insufficient sleep,
the nervous system, and brain espec-
tally, not resting enough, and ceasing
to work normally, we fluid exhaustion
excitability, and intellectual disorders
gradually taking the place of love of
work, general well-being, and the spirit
of MISUNDERSTANDING.

Hints for Emergencies.

To Cool A BEDRooM.-Jf the Sleep
ing-room is warm, it may be cooled for
time by wringing large pieces of cot
ton out of water and hanging them be-
fore the open windows. Leave the door
open, and as the air comes through the
wet cotton, it will be cooled. This is
good device for cooling~a sick room;
the cloths can then be wet again and
again. Keep the gas turned low during
the process of undressing, and sleep
without light, unless it is tiny night
lamp.
A Cool CLOTH WITHOUT ICE.-One
of the most useful hints for sick-room
attendance is very seldom known out
side of hospital ward, and not even
there in many cases; the hint is how to
obtain cold cloth without the use of
ice. Every one knows that in fevers,
or weakness, cold cloth on the fore
head or face, or base of brain, is one of
the most comforting things in the world.
In the tropical hospitals, and where ice
is scarce, all that is necessary is TO wet
linen cloth, wave it to and fro in the
air, fold il, and place it on the patient.
Have another cloth ready, waving it to
and fro, just before applying it. These
cloths have more grateful and lasting
GOODNESS than those made so by the
burning cold produced by ice.-Rural
Ne,o Yorker.

A Knit Rug.

Cut the rags same as for carpet and
sew them together. Take large wooden
needles; cast up any number of stitches
divisible by Qrom 30 to SOY, COM
mence by knitting 5 stitches; return;
knit 10; return; knit Is; return; con-
tinue in this way, knitting stitches
more each time, and return, until all
are knit off. Then commence with 5
again, and continue until you have
enough to lie fiat on the floor and come
together nicely, then join with needle
and twine on the wrong side. There
will be circular hole in the center.
To fill this, cast on 3 stitches and widen
l stitch each time across until you have
s; then narrow back to in the same
way, bind off, and sew it in the center
space. Thirty-fve stitches make mat
81 inches in diameter; so stitches would
give better size, but is heavy work
before it is done.-Selected.

Sources of Colds.

Many mothers appear to accept with
resignation the repeated and violent
colds from which their children suffer,
as providential and unavoidable. A
cold is by no means always due to ex-
posure: indigestion, constipation, a
lack of scrupulous cleanliness, the I'M
wise habit of sleeping in the under
clothing worn during the day, unaired
bed-chambers-all or any of these
things may have far more TO do with a
child's tendency to cold, than the keen
est breath of the bracing winter air.
Mothers should understand it is fact,
whether or not they can see why it
should be, that numerous colds and
sore Threats are directly traceable to
indigestion and errors in diet. Guam
titles of greasy food-fried meats,
pastry, and the like-ill-ventilated
rooms, and continued constipation have
to answer for many cases of Group and
putrid sore throat. All these things
weaken the system and render it far
less able to resist changes of tempera-
ture. Every bedroom should have a
thorough airing each day, more es,
pecially if several children are obliged
to sleep together. This is to be
avoided, if possible; if not, always
lower a window slightly from the top
or, II this cannot be done, raise it from

Very Valuable, but Costs Nothing.

The best example of getting some
thing for nothing which has come TO
our knowledge, is the decision of the
great specialist, DR.. Greene, "a Temple
Place, Boston, Mass, to give to the
sick and suffering consultation and adj
vice free. Enormous fees are charged
by physicians of the great skill and
wonderful power to cure disease pos
sessed by DR.. Greene, and the fact that
he can now be consulted, personally,
or by letter, free, is a matter of con-
graduation for every community. DR..
Greene is the discoverer of that great
nerve remedy, DR.. Greene's Nervura,
and all his wonderful medicines are
purely vegetable and perfectly harm
less. Our people will be espe cialy
interested in the fact that this eminent
physician has made specially Of treat
ing the sick through letter correspond
ence. If you write him a description
of your case, he will return carefully
considered letter, giving you a perfect
understanding of your disease, advice,
ETC., without charge. Sufferers who
have failed to get relief cannot afford
to neglect this opportunity, but should
write to DR.. Greene at once. BE sure
and send for his symptom blank to fill
out.

Spain's Baby King.

Alphonso III is very bright, inter-
esting little fellow about five years of
age. The pictures We have seen of him
grossly misrepresent him. 1t is true
that when he was an infant his head
was little too large, but the body seems
to have grown up to it. He is well be-
haved and clearly shows evidence of
the most careful breeding, and the peo-
pie of Spain have great deal of re-
spect for him. OF course they do not
look upon him as their king as yet, and
the boy does not have the slightest con-
ception of what an important individual
he really is. He is bright, interesting,
and is just like any body else's ave
year-old boy. He makes a very pretty
picture on the street. He is always
dressed in white silk sailor suit, and
jaunty little sailor cap.-Intsrvie,o Nth
Minister Grub.

Floral Notes.

EARLY frosts will Jog the memory of
those who have bad habit of forgetting
from year to year how very early
autumn work should be begun to be
well done. All dubious roots need up
lifting and resetting once in three years
at least, and October is the best of the
twelve months for this work. Beds for
the reception of these transplantings
should be prepared at once, and thus
given time to stand months rain and
shine, TO thoroughly adjust their vari-
Gus elements before the bulbs are set
in them. Bulbous roots delight in
a deep, free soil so that the 6brous
threads they throw out may work their
way down easily for the nourishment
that they will seek. Dig the ground
over and make a trench of the beds
from fifteen to eighteen inches deep,
take the earth out into heap and cover
the bottom surface of the bed with the
richest barnyard fertilizer to be had;
have this layer not less than four nor
more than six inches deep. If the soil
is very poor, enrich this pile of earth
thoroughly with decayed manure and
leaf-mould from the woods, mixing it
all finely so that it shall all be evenly
distributed; then shovel it back into
the pit made by taking it out; with the
addition of the manure, it will now be
well rounded up, but let the storms of a
month fall upon it and it will be well
settled. Let it rest now a month.
To root pansy cuttings, choose the
first of this month, when the stems are
most apt to be succuleut. Woody or
hollow stems will either not strike root
at all, or will give but sickly plants.
Therefore stems of that kind it is
as well not to bother with at all.
In making cuttings, remember to cut
close to joint; nice slips also should
be taken off at this time and rooted.
Shelter from the sun with papers few
days, then cover with glass if thought
advisable. They should be well rooted
by the time that severe frosts may be
expected, then choose a cloudy day,
wet down the earth well and transplant
to pots for the winter. Some one sent
to florist once for select list of va
rieties, and received nearly four hum
dred names. Such seeds as one has
saved this season and intends to expert
ment with, should be planted now, as
pansy seeds are not benefited by be-
ing kept for spring use. This is the
key to many of the failures that follow
ones spring investment in pansy seeds.
Sown in shallow boxes now, hundreds
of young plants will be ready for the gar
den another season.-Kezidh Shelton,
IN NeaU York Observer.

Black Tea and Green,

Mis-. Scidmore, in her Jinrikisha
Days in Japan" says: The tea plant,
as every one knows, is hardy ever
green of the camellia family. In the
spring the young leaves crop out at the
ends of the shoots and branches, and
when the whole top of the bush is COW
cred with pale, goden-green tips, gen.
orally in May, the first picking takes
place. The choicer qualities of Lea are
never exported, but consumed at home.
The average tea bought by the ex-
porters for shipment to the United
States and Canada is of the commonest
quality, and, according to Japanese
trade statistics, the average value is
eleven cents pound. For green tea,
the leaves are dried over hot fires almost
Immediately after picking, leaving the
theme or active principle of the leaf in
full strength. For black tea, the leaves
are allowed to wilt and ferment in heaps
for from five TO fourteen days, or until
the leaf turns red and the harmful prop
critics Of the theme have been partly de-
stroyed. Tea which is to be exported
is treated to an extra firing, to dry it
thoroughly before the voyage, and, at
the same time, it is polished" or
coated with indigo, Prussian blue, gyp-
sum and other things, which give it the
gray luster that no dried tea-leaf ever
naturally wore, but that American tea
drinkers insist on having. Before the
tea leaves are put in the pan for the
second firing, men, whose arms are
dyed with indigo to the elbows, 90 down
the lines and dust little of the powder
into each pan. Then the tossing and
stirring of the leaves follows, and the
dye is worked thoroughly into them.
This skilled labor is paid for
at rates to make the Knights of Labor
groan, the wage-list showing how inn
possible teaculture is for the United
States until protectionist tea-drinkers
are ready to pay ten dollars a pound for
the commonest grades. During the
four busy months of the tea season the
firers are paid the equivalent of eleven
and four-tenths cents, United States
gold, for days work of thirteen hours
Less expert hands, who give the second
firing, or polishing, receive nine and
six-tenths cents day. Those who sort
and finally pack the tea, and who work
as rapidly and automatically as ma
chimes, get the immense sum of fifteen
cents. Each year the United
States pays over 100000 for the
nerve-racking green tea of Japan.
