THINGS ABOUT SLEEPING.


SUNLIGHT is good for everything but
feathers.
THE best number of persons to each
bed is-onc.
AWAY with heavy hangings, either
above or below the bed.
DO NOT fail to provide some means for
ventilation during the night.
BEWARE of dusty, musty carpet;
better sweetness and bare floor.
IF folding bed be used, contrivc some
way to keep it aired and wholesome.
KEEP the head cool while sleeping,
but not by u draft of cold air falling
upon it.
LET the pillow be high enough to
bring the head in Il natural position-no
more or less.
THoRouGnLY air the sleeping room
every day; air the beds and bedding us
often us possible.
A DARK, out-ofthe-way, unwholc-
some corner is no more fitted for q
sleeping room than for parlor.
A FEATHER bed which has done scrv-
ice for Il ton or two is hardly IL
desirable thing upon which TO Sleep
