THE NEED OF SLEEP.

1t is difficult for one who has had no
occasion to familiarize himself with the
subject to appreciate the consequences
which attend depriving the body OF the
necessary amount of sleep. The symp-
toms which follow such deprivation
afford a striking example of the init
mate relation of every part of the body
to every other part.
1t may be that the sufferer has been
placed in circumstances under which
sleep, owing to the demands made upon
his time by other matters, is practi-
cally prohibited; or perhaps he has
nerved himself to perform a certain
task in specified time, and does not
obey the dictates of nature. In either
event the result is the same. The I'M
happy victim suddenly finds that he
does not feel the need of sleep. He may
at first feel inclined to congratulate
himself, but this period of excitation
does not last long, for, try as he may
he can not bring back sleep to his now
worn out body.
From this point the trouble rapidly
increases Especially is the fact dem
onstrated that the need of sleep is felt
by the entire system. 1t is true that
the nervous systems redominate and
that, if the condition of the patient il
not ameliorated, the case soon becomes
one of nervous prostration. But every
organ of the body suffers equally with
the brain. The stomach is upset, the
appetite impaired, and emaciation and
debility follow.
The treatment of person suffering
from lack of sleep is unfortunately
much compromised by the efforts Of
the patient himself. Under the i'm
preston that an opiate is required, hi
begins the systematic administration
of some sleep producing powder. Moth
ing could be more pernicious. as is seer
when, after having tried in turn every
remedy, the sufferer finally finds il
next to impossible to obtain any res
except by such unnatural means.
Healthful sleep is needed, and this
is to be obtained only by careful an(
prolonged treatment under the guidance
of skilled medical adviser.
Opiates should never be administered
by the patient himself, and never will

A TRADITION OF ORANGE BLOSSOMS.

Like all familiar customs whose orr
gin is lost in antiquity, the wearing of
orange blossoms at wedding is &C.
counted for in various ways Among
other stories is the following pretty
legend from Spain:
An African prince presented Span
ish king with magnificent orange
tree, whose creamy, waxy blossoms and
wonderful fragrance excited the admi-
ration of the whole court Many begged
in vain for branch of the plant, but
foreign ambassador was tormented
by the desire to introduce so great q
curiosity to his native land. He used
every possible means, fair or foul, to
accomplish his purpose, but all his
efforts coming to naught, he gave up
in despair.
The fair daughter of the court gar
dener was loved by young artisan,
but lacked the dot which the family
considered necessary in bride One
day, CHANGING to break off a spray of
orange blossoms, the gardener thought
lessly gave it to his daughter. Seeing
the coveted prize in the girls hair, the
willy ambassador offered her a sum suf-
ficient for the desired dowry, provided
she give him the branch and say moth
ing about it. Her marriage was soon
celebrated, and on the way to the altar,
IN grateful remembrance of the source
OF all her happiness, she secretly broke
OIL another bit Of the lucky tree to
adorn her hair.
whether the poor court gardener lost
his head in consequence of the dauph-
ter's treachery, the legend does not
state, but many lands now know the
wonderful tree, and ever since that

considered fitting adornment for a
bride.-Kate Fields Washington.
