Eat Before Sleeping.
New York Medical Journal.

New York Medical journal.
Some persons though not actually
sick, keep below par in strength and
general tone, and am of the Opin-
ion that fasting during the long in
terval between supper and break
fast, and especially the complete
emptiness of the stomach during
sleep, adds greatly to the amount of
emaciation, sleeplessness and general
weakness we SO often meet, Physi~
ology teaches that in the body there
is perpetual disintegration of tissue,
sleeping or waking; it is therefore
logical to believe that the supply Of
nOurishment should be somewhat
continuous. AS bodily exercise is
suspended during sleep, with wear
and tear correspondingly diminished,
while digestion, assimilation and nu-
tritive activity continue as usual,
the food furnished during this period
adds more than is destroyed, and in>
creased weight and improved general
vigor are the result.
All beings except man are governed
by natural instinct, and every being
with stomach, except man, eats be-
fore sleep, and even the human in
FAINT guided by the same instinct,
drinks frequently day and night, and
il its stomach is empty for any pro-
longed period it cries long and loud.
Digestion requires no interval of rest,
and if the amount of food during the
twenty-four hours is, in quantity and
quality, not beyond the physiological
limit, it makes no hurtful difference
to the stomach how few or how short
are the intervals between eating, but
it does make a vast difference in the
weak and emaciated ones welfare
to have a mOdicum in the stomach
during the time Of sleep, that, in.
stead of being consumed by bodily
action, it may during the interva
improve the lowered system.

Breaking 1t Gently.

In the province Of Holstein, noted
for its superior breed of cattle, the
country people are not only very
thrifty but exceedingly fond of their
cows.
Farmer Jan was walking sadly
down the road one day when the vii.
lage pastor met him.
"Why so sad, Farmer Jane" said
the pastor.
"Ah, have very sad Grand,
PASTOR" replied Jan.
"What is it?"
Farmer Henrik's COW is dead in
my pasture, and / am on my way to
tell him."

"Indeed it is pastor, but shall
break it to him gently"

mother who is dead, and then, hav-
ing opened the way for sadder news
still, l shall tell him it is not his
mother, but the cow"

Under the care of the Board

amid great populations, giving access
TO more than 10O,0OO,OOO souls, and

preached and Christian schools are
maintained, employing 538 mission
aries, seconded by a force Of 2,640 ma
tive preachers and teachers, includ-
ing 4l0 Churches with 1925 COM
municants, gathering an army of
46, 4O3 pupils in schools of all grades,
from the theological seminary and
college on the one hand to the COM
mon school and the kindergarten on
the other, ministering medical relief
to 100000 patients, and distributing
the Scriptures and Christian litera-
ture by millions of pages annually,
the sublime work of evangelizing the
pagan nations is moving forward
amid multiplied proofs of Gods IA
vor, and the day of redemption for a

Preserving the Complexion.

A great deal can be done towards
having a fine and smooth complex
ion, by systematic treatment of
rubbing, says The Ladies' Home
Journal. A fine towel or bit of red
flannel are best for rubbing, twice
day, or four times, il rapid results are
to accrue. BY degrees-as the skin
gains tone and elasticity from hav-
ing thrown off the waste matter in
its ducts that kept it clogged, sickly
and flabby-the friction can increase
in energy. The skin becomes, not
tougher, but more resistant. If the
rubbing is too hard at first, however,
it is liable to produce redness and
pimples. Even slight friction will
do this at times on an unaccustomed
skin. But the treatment should be
preserved in nevertheless, and the
skin soon becomes extraordinary fine
and smooth.

Apples as a Medicine.

London Hospital.
Chemically the apple is composed
of vegetable fiber, albumen, sugar,
gum, cholorophyll, malic acid, galIic
acid, lime and much water. Further
more, the German analysts say that
the apple contains a larger percent
age Of phosphorus than any other
fruit or vegetable. This phosphorus
is admirably adapted for renewing
the essential nervous matter, lethicin,
of the brain and spinal cord. 1t is
perhaps for the same reason rudely
understood that old Scandinavian
traditions represented the apple as
the foods Of the gods, who, when
they felt themselves to be growing
feeble and infirm, resorted to this
fruit for renewing their powers Of
mind and bodies. Also the acids of
the apple are Of signal use for men Of
sedentary habits whose lives are slug
gish in action, these acids serving to
eliminate from the body noxious
matters, which, if retained, would
make the brain heavy and duly, or
bring about jaundice or skin erup-
tons.

Heard news of his latest flame,
And Tityrus made the woods resound
With echoes of Daphne's name.
They kindly left us lasting gauge
OF their musical art we're told,
And the Pandean pipe of the Golden Age
Brings mirth to the Age OF Gold,
Dwellers in huts and marble halls,
From shepherdess up to queen,
Cared little for bonnets aud less for shawls
And nothing for crinoline.
But now simplicity is not the rage,
And it's funny to think how cold
The dress they wore in the Golden Age
Would seem in the Age of Gold.

Tobacco, balloons and steam
Are little events that have come to pass

And come to the Age Of Gold.

The ssPetticOat Brigade"


All hail to the "petticoat brigade"
Which petticoat brigade? The wo-
mans brigade, or the priestly brig
ade-which? For, why is not the
flowing garment petticoat when
worn by the priest, as well as when
worn by woman? Why? But be-
cause when worn by women, it has
been the symbol of "subjection,"
but when worn by the priest, it has
turned to "robe," and is the sym
boil of authority in the church.
The surplices, robes and fantastic
adornments Of high ecclesiasticism
are simply limitations Of the wo-
mems garments, which the priests
Of antiquity wore to indicate that
God was both male and female.
If God is both male and female,
we see how true it is that the race
was created Gin the image Of God
male and female created he them"
Mark: God did not create the race
male and priest, but male and
female; therefore, it was not the
woman, but the priest, who was an
"after-thought." 1t was not the
priest, but the female, who was one
of the "them" to whom was given
dominion over all the earth"
If the sphere of politics is the
sphere of paternal authority, why is
not the sprere of religion the sphere
of maternal authority F? If the law
of fitness demands that man, as the
father of the nation, shall preside in
the sphere of politics, why does not
the same law Of fitness demand that
woman, as the mother of the nation,
shall preside in the sphere Of relig-
ion?
When woman shall have develop
ed into the knowledge Of her rights
in the sphere of religion, her petit
coats will then turn to "robes," too,
and will be symbolical of the au-
thority in the realm Of motherhood,
physical and spiritual. All hail to
the "petticoat brigade"
