Finally the slender shaft took fire and
blazed up. Maxey touched a gas jet. In
the glare that followed he saw the girl

white, upon the edge of the little bed in
the alcove room, wringing her hands in

white face turned toward him, her dark

ed with shellac should be made to over

tenn allows for breakfast four or five
ounces Of meat, either lean mutton,

broiled fish may take the place Of the
meat-one ounce of dry toast and Il
large cup of tea without cream or sugar.

For tea, three ounces OF fruit, rusls
or two and Il cup of tea without milk
or sugar. Where this meal includes sup
per as well, three ounces of fish or meat
may be added
1t is the absence of bread which most
persons feel most keenly, and yet we
should be much healthier and happier
without it, substituting fruit. If, as Sc
many physicians tell rs, most people
suffer from overlooking rather than toe
little nourish2nent, the woman who must

pathy.
Exercise is an important factor in
flesh reduction. Ten minutes every day

How TO Arrange Pillows For Restful
Sleep.
1t has buen demonstrated by Il series
of painstaking and careful experiments
that we should sleep with our feet
slightly elevated, or the head a tritiC
lower than the feet, by placing pillows
under the feet and none under the head.
The advantages claimed as resulting
from this manner of lying are that the
intellectual repose is much more pro.
found than obtained by the present pre-
vailing method; also that amclioration
of the nervous system is greater; that
the effect on the veins is better, and CON
sequently the condition Of the blood il
improved and weakness OF the lungs is
thereby largely overcome. If i'll trying;
the effect of this position for sleeping, any
unpleasant sensation is experienced, the
feet will be found to have been too high,
and therefore they should be lowered lit
tie by little by using pillows of less
thickness until the proper height j.
reached, which is readily determined by
the improved feeling of the sleeper.
For women especially this mode OF
sleeping is recommended. Untold relief
i'll following this simple prescription
has been found The advantages to thu
physical nature from this manner OF
sleeping were shown to be unmiStaia-
Bile.
1t was briefly urged that the veins arr
better kept filled with blood, the blood
flowing toward the brain is cohduciv"
of a clearer. more rested mental cordi-
ton upon awakening, and the lra1t,
finding easier action, is not called npon
for such hard work: aud thcruGolo the

Wars Modern Horrors,

Various experiments with the new
rifles, which have recently taken place
in Germany, have demonstrated, in a
very conclusive manner, that another
war would practically be one Of ami
hilation. A well-known French writer,
in an article which he devotes to the
subject, says that the battlefield
would, at the end of the engagement,
be covered with two or three hundred
thousand corpses, all crushed and
broken, and would be nothing but 8
vast charnel house. No one would b.
left to bury the dead, and pestilence
would, in turn, sweep away the coun-
try people. Pointing the moral, he
adds that the man-Emperor. King OF
President of a Republic-who, under
these conditions, would expose the
human race to such fate, would be
the greatest criminal that the world
had ever seen. It is tolersbly plain
that the horrors and the butchery
which a war would entail are becom.
ing more and more recognized, and
that the terrible vista tLus opened out
is exercising a SOLDERING effect on those
who were formerly wont to discuss
various eventualities with light
heart.-London Telegraph.
