from The Philadelphia Times.
Scott in his Letters On DemonCogy and
Witchcraft" relates the story of gentleman
who was sued for the recovery of certain
tthes which he was strongly impressed had
been paid by his father then deceased.
The night before the trial he dreamed that
his father appeared and told him the debt
had been paid and the paper relating to the
transaction was in the hands of a certain at
torney, whom he had employed on this one oc-
cason for special reasons.
He further said that should the matter
have escaped the attorneys memory it might
be recalled by mentioning a Portuguese gold
piece which had been given in payment and
the change spent at the tavern,
The gentleman hunted up the attorney, who
had entirely forgotten the matter, but remem-
bered it Immediately when the gold coin was
mentioned.

HOW TO REST,
Good Advice to Housewives who Need

Good Advice to Housewives who Need
Rest.
House wives are apt to think they can
not afford TO spend much time III resting.
Can they anord not to spend some? 1t
seems to me that they make IA mistake
also III :he manner GA taking their rest
Changing works Is not really resting, in
spite OF all we read to the contrary; nor
is reading. 1t may be resting Il few mus
cles that nave been on the strain, but how
about the nerves! ANY work requires
nervous force. Therefore, q few minutes
OF absolte rest, i'll a recumbent position
with closed eyes, is worth more than hours
Of changed work" Such rest rests the
whole body at once. Nothing is better for
them who have little time TO spare, be
cause 1t accompllshes so much and so
quickly.
Such little rests, -, taken frequently
through the DAY, will make everything
so easier and SAFE your youth.
When Il woman has to be on her feet a
good deal she finds her feet are the tired
at night of ironing-day! Let me tell you
how TO be refreshed aud made us good as
new. When the work is done 90 lie
down and put your feet up as high as
possible Rest them against something
high. 1t won't take 50 very long of that
sort of thing to make you feel as though
you had had a good nights sleep. If you
have time to battle them i'll quite warm
water so much the better, but the position
is the important thing.
The cause of the fatigue and pain is
that the blood vessels are weary and do
not return the blood promptly enough.
Raising the feet let's the blood run back
of itself or by the attraction of gravita-
ton. Also, stroking the feet and limbs
upward will help. AS the valves of the
blood vessels open toward the heart,
stroling with instead of against is an aid
to the circulation.
Does your family charge you with being
cross, O, tired mother? Or, if they are
too considerable to do that, does your own
conscience twit you?
Then consider the condition. of your
nerves. Cross people are nervous people.
Perhaps you, are rot sleeping enough.
There is nothing like sleep to cure nerv-

work done before your neighbor, get also

SATCHETS OF MANY SORTS.
Esuec,allv for the Nursery.

Notwithstanding the crusade which the
advocates of ''healthful simplicity have or
ganized against the use of scents in the ba-
bys toilet, no well appointed nursery is
considered complete without it's dainty en-
broidered, family perfumed sachets
They are sometimes made large enough to
fit an entire drawer and to hold within their
folds the soft white gowns; again they are
made almost enthusiastically small and are
hidden among the tiny garments; also they
are made of every conceivable intermediate
size and for every conceivable purpose.
They all are wonderfully beautiful in the
simplicity of their material and decoration,
and they are perfumed with orris root only,
so that the faintest as well as the purest
obtainable odor may cling to the little ones
