INSUFFICIENT SLEEP.

Young people should have more
sleep, asserts a German specialist.
A healthy infant sleeps most of the
time during the first weeks, and in the
early years people are disposed to let
children sleep as much rs they will.
But from six to seven when
school begins there is 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 He believes
that up to twenty a youth needs nine
hours sleep and an adult should have
eight or nine. With insufficient sleep
the nervous system, and brain especi-
ally, not resting enough and ceasing
to work normally, we find exhaustion,
excitability and intellectual disorders
gradually taking the place of love of
work, general well being and the
spirit of initiative. Speaking about
women one of them says: MANY
women find an afternoon nap an alb
solute necessity; Others, who cannot
sleep during the day, find that half
an hour of absolute rest of mind and
body with loose gown in a darkened
room, is of great benefit to them, ena-
bling them to endure more fatigue,
and making them feel brighter for the
evening. Indeed, some physicians
say that every woman should loosen
her clothes and lie down for at least
fifteen minutes every day, for the sake
of health And aside from health,
many women do this with a view to
preserving their youthful looks; for
half an hour they think of nothing
and close thir eyes. The muscles of
the face relax, which postpones wrin-
kles for few years, and the eyes re-
tain their brightness

STRANGE APPLICATIONS.

The Salvation Army has in London
bureau of information where ladies
ladies may obtain servants and those
in need of employment find work. 1t
has been extraordinarily successful.
During the first year thirteen hundred
employers found servants, and a
thousand girls applied for werk
Strange applications came to the Of
ice. One lady recommended her de-
parting servant as ''clean, tidy, hon
est, sober, truthful and good work
err" Wondering why maid and mis-
tress should part under these condi-
tions, the bureau found that a terrible
bad temper was the cause of the sep
aration.
But, strangely enough said the
chief, lit happened that a lady had
just applied to us for a servant with a
bad temper, believing that such girls
make the cleanest handInaids. So we
are able to meet every requirement"
Some of the wants sent to the bureau
are Of a peculiar nature and oddly ex-
pressed.

etarian,'' writes one lady, ''or who is
willing to become ONE

TWO FfITHFUL DOCS.

\ strange but true snake story
comes from Sierra Madre. A little
girl whose mother resides at that place
saw large snake while playing near
the house, and, being pleased withits
appearance, she followed it through
the grass trying TO get hold of it.
Two faithful dogs belonging to the
family saw the snake also, and, run
ming after it, got ahead of the little girl
in the chase and pounced upon the an
imal An alarmed rattle, two quick
strokes, and the dogs ran yelping back
while the little tot who had witnessed
the encounter concluded that the
gliding serpent was not as pretty as
it had first appeared. When the
mother, who happened to be alb
sent, returned home that evening,
and found two dead dogs in her door
yard and her little daughter fast and
safely asleep in bed, it may be talk
en- for granted that prayer of graft
tude went up from her heart at the
fortunate escape of the little one.

ROUND-SHOULDERED VOMAM

A large proportion of the civilized
women in the world are round-back-
ed and hump-shouldered. The reason
is that they were no collars, or if
they wear collar at all it is of soft
material that does not keep the chin
up. 1t is utterly impossible for the
shoulders TO Groop when the head is
carried well up, and nothing will
make man keep his head up like a
stiff, high collar, with sharp points
that sticks up and hurt when the chin
is allowed to droop on them. Half a
dozen years ago, when tn fashion
in collars was very high behind and low
or turn back in front, many men in
the country We're round-shouldered.
The stiff piece of linen behind forced
the head forward and down, and a
droop in the shoulders was the result.
There isno particular fashion in
collars now nor has there beenfor years
but the prevailing taste runs to a col
lar that stands straight up all around,
the points tapping under the chin
The collar is higher in front than be-
hind, and the men who wear them
soon learn to throw their heads back
to prevent the high points in front
from chatting their chins. The result
of this is that the men of to-day are
straight backed, square-shouldered,
fine looking fellows.

WHAT BECOMES OF THE "TOM-
BOTo


BOZ"
And what of that little nondescript
known as the tomboy? What be-
comes of the romping, hoydenish girl
who much preferes the society of the
naughtiest boys to the nice, well be-
haved daughters of respectable neigh
bors, and who cannot endure the quiet
games with the aforementioned
cherubs and there meek dolls, who
have such tiresome fashion of for
ever smiling up into ones face.
Does she still continue to enjoy mus
culine sports when she has arrived
at years of discretion Z Is she still in&
clined to torn frocks, disheveled lock
and an adherence of all those things
girls hold most dear? AS far as our
observation goes we would most
fatty say no, quite the reverse. The
greatest tomboy we ever knew turned
out to be the most delnure creature
at twenty that we could imagine.
She took to fancy work and hospi-
tai visiting with vigor that seemed
must be meant to atone for all those
years when she could not be induced,
save under the Threat of being kept
in the house, to take up Il needle
and struggle with the unhappy bit of
patchwork that never seemed to pro-
gress beyond a most unsightly square
that had been used to wipe away the
tears from a very dirty little face bent
over the obnoxious bit of ladylike EN-
ployment, and the hospitals served to
make up for the adherence of those
childish days of anything that savored
of respectable SeIf-Sacrifice
Many other instances we have
known where the most charming wo-
men have been evolved from the rude
little tomboy girl therefore, mothers.
do not despair if the small daughter
shows Il decided penchant for tops
and marbles rather than dolls and
sewing.

ORA WING NEAR,

There are unexpected delights lying
very near the Christian traveller
which he knows nothing of until he
gets further from the lowlands than
he has yet climbed. From the cone
shaped top of Mount Kearsage, N. H.,
he who has followed the bride path
for three long miles looks down upon
a small lake, which nature has formed
on shoulder of the mountain, per-
haps two-thirds of the distance from
base to the summit. Round as a
bowl, clear as a crystal, set in portion
of the mountain as wild as nature
knows any thing about, fringed with
the white flowers and green leaves of
water lilies, and then by dense, tall
trees, whose shadows fall ON the placid
surface, it looks like a great diamond
in the mountain side. Only those
who pursue this har journey almost
to the end are permitted to see this.
So there are beauties in the realm of
grace-gems of Christian experience
which reveal themselves suddenly
and unexpectedly to the Christian as
he rises upon the holiness and faith
fulness of God in Christ. Gods right
eousness is like the great mountains.

WHEN MEN ARE GRACEFUL.

Men should go early to a party,
even if they have to go before supper
and sit in the drawing-r ON all alone
while the hostess is dressing If man
be late he is taken around circle of
about forty people and introduced to
every one of them and there is nothing
more awkward than man when he
tries to bow. Every one in the room
stops talking and stares at him, if
there are any sixteen-year-old girls
present he can hear Il suppressed gig
gle when he is trying his best to be
graceful A man is never graceful ex-
cept when saving wood or hammer
ing nail and society should not ex-
pect him to bow like a woman who
has spent years learning how to han
die her feet and hands.

THE syOWB4LL OF scandal.

1t began at the top of the hill in
very small way. Somebody said 81
Think 1t rolled along, collecting
bits as it went, until somebody said:
Il believe" 1t went further and
further, somebody said, 81 know"
And then it rolled and rolled, until it
was a great big ball that hit straight at
somebody's heart because somebody
else said, Il saw" And though the
SNOWFALL looked fair and white,
though there seemed nothing wrong
about it, it was great horrible lie.
1t began with idle gossip, it grew
with silly chatter until it reached its
full size, fed by scandal There is
only one way to fight SNOWFALL.
Again | say, wait. Wait and live out
your life honestly and truly, and the
sunshine of good deeds will glare down
upon the SNOWFALL of scandal until it
melts away, and even its existence is
forgotten. 1t is true it is hard to live
things down sometimes, but it is work
ing two ways as by the goodness you
are living down the wrong of others,
SO by the same goodness you are liv-
ing up to that higher life which ends
in the golden world where scandal
mongers can never enter.

SHE PURCHASED THEM.

She wasn't exactly old, but the dis
eliminating observer could see that
she hadn't seen the inside of school
room for at least ten years. The shop
man threw down piece after piece of
heecy white material before her criti-
cal eyes, but none of them seemed to
claim her unreserved admiration.
She was taking great deal of his
time and the silk counter was crowd
ed, so he decided to play his trump
card.
Holding up length of crepe de
chine so that it fell in perfect catar-
act of shimmering folds, he remarked,
refectively. as if to himself alone,
"The best thing for graduating pur-
poses we have had i'll the store this
year" The effect was instantaneous,
and in another minute the tactful
salesman was measuring off a full pat
tern for his well pleased patron.

THE SLOW TORTOISE.

The sluggish motions of common
land tortoise or turtles lead many
persons to unierrate their intelligence.
This ridiculous slowness," however
arises from the animals peculiar
structure, and is no proof of dizziness.
The legs ola turtle look more like
crutches than legs. And though the
feet form a strong graphing apparatus
for pulling away Il heavy weight, who
could expect swiftness from such toes?
Some large tortoises nevertheless
make long journeys with more rapi-
dity than might seem possible.
In the Galap Cos islands turtles
were found by Mr.. Darwin able to
travel four miles a day-a rate of pro-
gress not despieable in creatures pro-
vided with such legs; creatures, too,
so heavy that six men were often re-
quired to lift one of them.

MOTHER GOOSE.

Mother Goose was a real character,
and was not an imaginary parsonage,
as we used to suppose. Her maiden
name was Elizabeth Foster, and she
was born in 1865. She married Isaac
Goose in 1893, and few years after
ward became a member of the Old
Southern Church. She died in 1857,
aged ninetytwo years.
The first edition of her songs was
published in Boston Q716), by her SON.
in-law, Thomas Fleet. The house in
which a great part of her life was
spent was low, one-story building,
with dormer windows and a red tiled
roof looking something like an old Eng
lish country cottage.
