They Had Never Seen Roses

Two ladies, managers, came into
the school the other morning short
ly after it had opened. One of them
wore beautiful Jacqueminot rose,
on which the eyes Of the whole
school were at once turned admiring-
ly. Noting this, says the "Pittsburg
Chronicle" the owner of the red
flower gave it to the teacher for the
children.
"Now children, how many of you
know what this isP" asked the
young lady, holding up the flower.
Nearly every one shook his head to
indicate ignorance.
One small boy and a couple Of
of little girls piped out with great
Importance.
"It's a posie, please ma'am."
But no one had ever heard tell OF
a rose. Most Of the children had
never seen one before. The flower
was passed along the line and small
noses fingered longingly over its
fragrance, while dirty little palms
patted its velvet petals caressingly
No one saw or thought of anything
that morning but the rose. The
teacher put it in glass Of water tc
preserve it, and when school was dis

Position During Sleep.

Almost every one has favorite
position during sleep, and no end Of
theories and beliefs is indulged in
on the subject of the proper position,
location and general condition for
that sleep "that knits up the
ravell'd sleeve of care" Many ply
sicians argue that one should culti-
vate the habit of sleeping on the
right side, especially if one has in
dulged 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 position 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 reasons why this
is not wise. The weight of the
stomach and its contents rest on the
spine which often affects the nerves.
Some severe cases ofinsomnia have
been cured by the habit of sleeping
on the face. This is easy to do, and
it is the most comfortable po-
sition if one dispenses with the pill
low. One young man who had ex-
hausted 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
