Darkened Sleeping Rooms.

It is claimed by some physicians that
the brain cannot rest perfectly unless all
light is excluded from the sleeping room,
and whether in going TO bed at night or
simply lying down for half-hours rest
III the middle Of the day, this precaution
should be taken. Where a house has a
southern or eastern exposure, the rooms
will be filled with light long before it is
time to get up, and unless some means be
taken to prevent, the morning rest will
be more or less broken. Especially is
this true in the case of little children, and
it is well to accustom them from the first
to sleep in the dark.
In the absence of outside blinds there is
no better way to secure this pleasant twi-
light so conducive to rest than by the use
of inside shades made of the darkest
green holland, and they have a great adj
vantage over either inside or outside
blinds in that they are SO easily adjusted.
They supplement but do not take the
place of ordinary shades, but are set
somewhat inside so as not to interfere
with them. and are rolled up and are
quite out OF the way when not in use
The best grades of this goods are dura-
BILE, and with reasonable care viii last for
years, and from her own experience the
writer can recommend them as a most
desirable investment.
Ii the bedroom windows have upper
panels of stained glass, of which SO many
modern houses abound, the green shades
should be set so as to cover these also, as an
exceedingly unpleasant glare pours down
from them, very trying to eyes which are
trained TO sleep in dark kness as complete
as possible. e.-Harper's Bazaar.

The Happy Paraguayans.

The women have well-m olded linn bs,
voluptuous, lustrous eyes. and are OF
every color, from mahogany TO the white
anu pink complexion OF the fairest An
glo-Saxon. The dress OF a Paraguayan
woman consists merely of snowy white
tunic, coming down To the knees, and a
snow-white shawl. These
women are bare-footed. s. They
stalk through the streets with soft, sup
pie, panther-like tread that is most beau
tiful, for they do not indulge in high
heeled boots and stays, but step out as
Eve herself might have done, quite un-
impeded by their simple dress, which is
merely a short tunic tied round at the
waist and adorned with the pretty native
lace. These tunics have short sleeves and
very low necks, and reveal the statuesque
shoulders and breasts rather more than
would be considered delicate in Europe.
This mild race lives principally on
oranges, pumpkins. cassava, and other
fruits and vegetables, being almost vege-
tarians. ! * * Many are the yir-
tues OF these poor, brave Paraguayans;
they are hespitable. kindly honest, and.
though marriage is looked upon as an un-
necessary prelude to two young people
starting housekeeping together, they ,are
remarkably constant III their attachments.
The Paraguayan girls are like Byron 8
savage heroines-iaithiul unto death, soft
as doves, but ready to give up their lives
for their mates. What particularly re-
mark was the joyial, gay nature of this
amiabie and innocent race.-The Cruise
of the Ealcon-knight.
