AUTUMN.

Brown and bare are the autumn fields;
Reaped and stacked is the yellow grain;
Hardly partridge the stubble yields,
So closely shorn is the bristly plain
Summer is dying mid shower and cloud
Crimson and gold is her royal shroud.
Winter is coming: the leafy woods
Arc whitening fast in their golden prlde'
For the wind is fierce. and the rain In noods
Is weeping DER valley and mountain side-
Dead leaves are flying through sun and snade,
A crimson carpet all down the glade
Mute arc the finches, the lark. and the linnet;
Only the robin sings loud and clear
A song for the beauty and joy OF summer,
A sweet goodbye to the waning year
Mead and valley and mountain steep
In the misty silence are falling asleep.
But out Of their sleep shall they one day waken,
And sparkle anew with pearl and gold,
When the rosy gates Of morn reopen,
And crown with splendor the dusky void
Though the year die out amid cloud and rain.
Yet golden summer shall come again.

POSITION FOR sLEEP.
From . Lecture by j. H. Kellogg, NJ D..
OF Battle Creek Sanitarium.

From . Lecture by j. H. Kellogg, NJ. D..
OF Battle Creek sanitarium.
The b st position for sleep is as near
q horizontal one as possible. With per-
sons who have tendency to hypercmia
of the brain. it is better to sleep with
the head somewhat raised. On the other
hand, in anaemic conditions. where the
blood supply is insufficient and the
brain with the rest of the body, suffers
from lack of proper nutriment, it is the
best plan to sleep with the head little
lower than tho feet. My attention was
first called to this some years since by
seeing half starved Italian beggar boys
sleeping on the hlllsides around Naples
with their heads downward. Their in
buttons had led them to adopt the posi-
ton for sleep which the low nu-
tritive tone of their systems made most
desirahle--a position which to one very
full of blood would be almost sure to in
duce congestion of the brain. Over
taxed students or nurses who sometimes
fall asleep in their chairs do not awaken
with normal feeling of refreshment, for
the brain has not had fair chance to
recuperate. To sleep with the head
high on bolster is very perincious, not
not only that it robs the brain, but it
tends to make the shoulders round and
the spine curved. 1t is better to slee p
without any pillow atall. As to further
position, assume that which is the most
comfortable individually. Probably q
little inclination to the right side is the
most normal nositiou especiallv IL Ona
goes to bed before the stomach is en-
tirely empty since the pyloric opening
is on that side.
AS to sleeping with the head to the
north which some advocate in order to
be in line with the magnetic currents,
there is nothing in it The magnetic
north pole is several degrees away from
the geographical north pole, therefore
those who attempt to carry out this
theory fail in getting in line with the
currents.

against the sude, open stare with which
q well-dressed lady is so often regarded
when she enters street car whore
men are passengers. The other day
stylishly-dressed lady entered an ele-
waited railway car at the city hall station
in New York. Half dozen pairs Of
optics were at once directed at her, ex-
aiming every part OF her costume from
her neat boots to her pretty bonnet.
The lady was evidently annoyed. She
looked out of the window, then read the
signs on the opposite side of the car
in her effort to appear unconscious Of
the attention she was receiving. At
last she turned upon her tormentors.
Beginning with the most obstinate
''starer," she looked with the intense
gaze of connoisseur at his feet The
experiment worked perfectly. The man
turned red In the face, crossed his feet
nervously, and looked outof the window.
Having disposed Of this one she turned
her attention to the pedal fixtures of
the next man. He drew them under the
seat and began to read his paper Each

LEARNING A LESSON.


Two Women Who Thought IL the Proper
Thing to Find Fault.
Two well-dressed women hustled into
one of the numerous ladies' restaurants
of the shopping district day or two
ago. and after rejecting several tables
that were offered to them as they passed
through the room, finally found salts
factory places in a well-lighted corner.
They were important and finical from
the first At the beginning of the meal
one found her spoon sticky and the
other thought her napkin damp, and so
on-all valid ground for complaint. per-
haps, except that the manner of crit
icism and the general effect of the
critics were of nature to arouse the
suspicion that the restaurant table and
service were equal, if not superior, to
those associated with the home ma
hogany.
A very civil and patient waiter. how
ever, managed to smooth the frequently
wrinkled rose leaves of the repast until
its end. While gloves were being drawn
on preparatory to departure one of the
pair. the larger and presumably the
more belligerent, signaled to the waiter
with a portentous nod. He was at her
side in an instant, tearing of check
as he approached.
YES" the diner said as he reached
her, II want my check, but l want also
to ask, and her voice was easily heard

rection of her glance, and sure enough,
there on the croquette dish, with the
small wisp of green remaining, was a
bit of potato pairing.
Seeing the effect she had produced,
the speaker continued: .'Send the SUI
perintendent to me, please" with a
really overwhelming air of reserve
force. But the waiter was forestalled.
The superintendent, who had already
taken observations, approached. He
was small. keen-eyed and suave.

bow, that the Kitchen should have
been so careless. Madam may be sure
it will not go unreprimanded. But
he added with lower. bow, his glance
just indicating the we'll swept table
before him, II am very glad that MADAM
has not allowed the blunder to interfere

| So DE moved away. 1t was imperti
nent, of course, but 'sMadam's" pom
posity and tardy complaint had rather
invited it. and the subdued smile on tive

without further comment, was not un
