DO We not sleep too Little.

There is more danger from too little.
sleep than too much for the American
people, writes q physician. Sleep is.
the great nerve tonic and ieservative
of our systems which nature gives free
ly. One ltlat is blessed with good
sleeping powers should never abuse
them by taking less sleep than the sys-,
tenn demands. A very few may be nat
uralIy lazy, and undue sleep may
make them stupid and; but the vast
majority of working people require
from eight to ten hour sleep. Early
rising is a relic Of past ages, and its
pleasures are only enjoyed when early
retiring is also pracliced. If one goes
to bed with the birds he can rise re-
freshed with the cocks, but plenty Of
sleep is essential To good health no
matter what time of night we retire.
Excessive fatigue can only be relieved
by plenty ofrest and sleep, and one
who does receive these is more sus-'
ceplibIe to feves and other diseases.
If one spends most of the night In
fashionable dissipa' ion she needs sleep
in the daytime. It is the only way to
preserve. the freshness and beauty of
complexion which nature has given
to her.

three times larger than the negative.
This ought to be accepted as conclusive
that prohibition is good thing for the
State.
"Portland, of which you speak is the
largest city in the State. Formerly its
streets, like those of Edinburgh, We're
lined with drink shops, with glarlng
Signs, bearing the names Of all sorts OF
liquors and wines. Now, there is
nothing TO be seen, even in the most
obscure streets, anything which indi-
Gates the sale ofliquor anywhere. IT
is far within the truth to say that not
one hundredth part as much liquor is
sold here now as in the old time. On
a very small scale liquors are sold here
with great caution to escape detection.
This is due partly to defects in the law,
and partly to unfuithfulness Of officials.
The suppression of the liquor traffic is
a great undertaking; it canot he ac-
complished perfectly in day, year,
or in generation but the progress
in that direction in Maine is steady,
and has been a great success, assuring
the triumph of the enterprise in fu-
ture not far away"

Etiquette OF the Table.

The daintiest way to eat an orange
is from fork; that Is, the skin and its
coarse white lining are pared off with
a sharp fruit knife, the orange is stuck
on fork and is eaten exactly as one
would an apple, writes Ruth Ashmore
in her "Side Talks With Girls" in the
September Ladies' Zone Journal.
Cheese may be taken between the fin
gers, or it may be put on bit OF bread
with knife, and eaten on that, but u
fork is not used with il. Artichokes
are, of course, eaten with the fingers,
each leaf being dipped in the dressing.
Allpastry is eaten from fork, and
it i~an insult to the cook TO touch 1t
with kulfe. In fact, your knife has
no use except for cutting, or buttering
something, and when II is resting 1t
be laid sideways Oh your plate. Every
vegetable can be eateu with fork,
the uses of spoon being limited to a
few desserts and for your coffe or tea
cup, and there its place is to repose In
the saucer. Bouillon is drank from the
cups in which 1t was served; when 1t
is jellied it is eaten with q dessert
spoon. Nothing excuses the chasing
nf small particle o. something to eat
around your plate to polish it up. The
old idea tnal one must eat everything
that is given to one no longer exists,
and the result is that children are not
made gluttons. In drinking, remein-
Der to hold your goblet or wine glass
oy the stem, and not by the bowl.
While watermelon lis eaten with a
fork, canteloupe has served with it
.iessert spoon. AS it is customary,
nowadays, to have the salt served in
,pen salt cellars, it may be mentioned
that in helping ones self the salt
should be put near the outer edge OF
mes plate. In leaving the table it is
not necessay to fold your napkin; in
stead just us you rise lay it on the
table.

Talking and Listening.

The gift of conversation is born i'll
some people; with others it is carefully,
perhaps laborously, acquired. In either
case it is a great charm, outlasting both
beauty and grace. A very charming
aud notably eloquent woman said once
that silence was natural to her, but
she overcame reserve and shyncss by
force of Will. Study and read the right
sort of things and store your mind well.
Then You will have resources to draw
upon. Read the papers every day, SO
YOU will know something of foreign
news Then every time you have a
chance, talk. At first you will he un-
able toremember one of the fine things
you have read at the moment when it
would come in so beautifully. Never
mind; practice will conquer that kind
of awkwardness, and the time Will
come when your memory will be your
obcdiert servant and bring the right
things to you at the right time.-N. Y.

miles. One mile of this will be tunnel, and the
work, IL Is believed, cannot be done for less than

lines, whose interests are threatened, have, how
ever, some knowledge OF the work at hand, and

Is for the Canadian Pacific. Arrangements, it is
believed. are also being made to acquire or con-

the Palisades, where the tunnel company's
tracks com o to an end The conpany's present
