POSITION DURING SLEEP.
Various Theories Concerning the Best an
Most Comfortable.

Various Theories Concerning the Best and
Most Comfortable
Almost every one has favorite posi-
ton during sleep. and no end of theor-
les and beliefs is INDUCED in on the
subject of the proper position, location
and general conditions for that sleep
''that kuits up the ravell'd sleave Of
care" Many physicians argue that
one should cultivate The habit of sleep
ing on the right side, espe cially If one
has INDUCED in full meal late in the
evening. The food makes its exit from
the stomach on the right side, and it is
for this reason claimed that the posi-
ton is more favorable TO digestion
without effort This is important, as
all of the faculties and functions
should have a certain amount of rest,
and in no way IS this as easily
attainable as during the hours Of
sleep Other authorities say that
one should always lie on the
back; but there are excellent rea-
sons why LIS is not wise. The weight
of the stomach and its contents rests
upon the spine, which often affects the
nerves. Some severe cases of insomnia
have been cured by the habit of sleep
ing on the face This is easy 70 do. and
is the most comfortable position if one
dispenses with the pillow. One young
man, who had exhausted all the skill
of the doctors, fell into the habit of
lying on his face, with his right arm
under his head, which was turned
slightly to one side. BY this change
natural rest soon came to him, and he
entirely recovered. Whatever position
one'may choose to take, a little prac-
tice will make il comforta bic, and the
experiment is well worth trying

HINTS FOR THE HOSTESS.
Don't Crowd Amusements on Your Guests
But Leave Them Alone Sometimes.

Don't Crowd Amusements on Your Guests,
But Leave Them Alone Sometimes.
The woman whose friends call her a
born hostess" is a person who knows
how to let her guests dispose of their
own time. She does not overwhelm
them with list of amusements all ar
ranged and planned for their pleasure,
anu in which they participate or incur
her deepest displeasure. She does not
look wild-eyed and nervous all the
time you are in her house for fear YOU
are not enjoying yourself. She does
not hunt You down when YOU have gone
to vour room for a nap or a quiet read.
asking you if YOU are not dull and tired
of such stupid house and Immediately
proposing some gay and festive plan for
the evening entertainment. The true
hostess has everything studied for the
comfort of her guests, even to the quiet
and peace of mind Her house is dainty
in every respect, her servants are well
trained and respectable. her table is
well provided with fruits and vegeta-
bles and cream that city people love so
well. The bedrooms have an air of
home and refinement about them, but
do not suggest the family too aggres-
sively. There are no photographs or
portraits in the chambers. no kniclx-
knaclSs or personal belongings of the
hostess or her children. Everything is
fresh and dainty from the carpet 10 the
window curtains. and the beds, mat
tress, springs, pillows and blankets are
irreproachable. There are always
plenty Of fresh towels and the hostess
puts cake of soap in your room. al
though most guests prefer their own
particular kind. Then she always has
some airy nook where YOU can write
letters and read the current maya
zines and the newest spicy novels. Her
piazza is strewn with big rocking
chairs. hammoclSs and n dainty tea
table, where you can generally find

erage prepared for the weary when
they come in from long walk or a
row up the lake. There are pleasure
parties on the tapis every day, drives,
sails, picnics or a small dance in the
evening, but the guests are not made
to feel that if they do not attend these
parties everyone else's pleasure will be
at stake. The hostess leaves it to You
whether you care to go or not, and you
feel quite as much at your ease stay
ing at home with a book and rest
full day before You as if youhad gone,
for you know you have disappointed
no one. and you are really at lib

THE SNAKE BITE WAS FATAL
The Red Nosed Man Tells How the Venom
Got in Its Work.


"It's all humbug, this talk about
rattlesnakes being SO deadly poison"
said red-faced man in the smoking
ear. I've lived among 'em. They
used to be so thick out where I live
that You had to be mighty careful
where you put your feet down If you
didn't want TO hurt q RATHER or two
every time you stepped. My bed was
never. any more than big enough for
me and the easy conscience i always
slept with, but I've woke up more
times thin I've got fingers and toes
and found that two or three rattle
snakes had managed to find room
with Us. They were plenty, ] tell
you. out where l live But deadly?
Pooh. Why, I've known scores and
scores of people to be socked, and
socl1ed deep, by rattlers and / never
knew of but one instance where a rat
tiers bite was fatal. Never but once,
out of more cases than there's pimples
on goose.
bill Bulger was the man that was
bit that time-a great, big, rough
scuff of n log chopper that didn't look
as If whole den of rattlers could
raise as much as a fea bite on him.
But he went TO teasing big buck rat
tlesnake that had come down to camp
to look around one day, and the snake
just threw his upper teeth against Bill
couple of times, and every drop of
poison he had he emptied into Bills
wrist Holler? Great Jeeswax, how
Bill did hollerl We grabbed him and
hustled him over to the Pigs
Ear shebang on t'other side
of the camp and began to decant rum
into him, and it wasn't long before Bill
looked as If he was glad he was bit.
Everybody said he'd tie, though. sure
pop, because that buck RATHER must
have unloaded into Jim close on to
three fingers of the best poison he had.
Consequently folks We're surprised
more than you can think when they
got around the next morning and found
Bill on deck as clipper as a red squir-
rel and sound as a white-oak knot"
"Whatw exclaimed THE man IN the
next seat. Il thought You said that
the bite was fatal!'
1T was, sir!'' replied the red-faced
man. 'Bill got blind, crazy drunk on
the strength of that snake bite and
killed the bartender" IN. Y. Sun.
