How to Insure Peaceful and Refreshing
Slumber and Sweet Mouth.

How to Insure Peaceful and Refreshing
Slumber and Sweet Mouth.
A warm bath, a light lunch and a
clean mouth before retiring are good
things to take. They promote sleep and
"clean" tongue in the morning. What
this lunch should be the consumer must
decide. The juice of couple of oranges,
half grape fruit cup of tea with
dry toast, sandwich and glass of ale,
cup of hot bouillon, biscuit and a glass
of sherry, crackers with milk and viohy,
or a bowl of bread and milk is the
choice of as many different people, all
healthy and handsome.
The best thing in the morning after a
cold plunge or sponge bath is cup Of
hot tea or coffee with a little lemon
juice. The earlier this draft is taken
the better. 1t should precede the break
fast by at least half an hour. This is
prime for the alimentary canal. 1t is a
comfort to the stomach, and puts the
digestive organs in order. A cup of hot
milk is also prescribed, and even hot
water the first thing in the morning is
not bad. For anything but the abusive
cup of cold water the poor stomach will
be grateful. If an appetite for breakfast
is wanted, and the time permits, take a
walk to the corner, alone, inhaling and
forcibly exhaling the air through the
nostrils. No $40 cure in therapeutics
can compare with this. New York

Catching shrimp In the south.

The Charleston gourmet is now joy
ously feasting daily on our own little
dish, the shrimp. There is hardly a
family in the city that does not have
this dainty little crustacean served for
breakfast in some shape or form. When
the dark shades Of night drop over the
harbor, the hardy shrimp men man
their little canoes, and with their cast
nets neatly arranged and ready TO be
thrown they make for the long, dark
shores of marsh where their prey makes
its feeding grounds. They have to wait
silently and patiently ON the edges Of
the marsh until a certain time of the
tide, when out come the shrimp in mil
lions, and out fly the heavy nets, and the
work commences.
The oarsmen pull or punt or paddle
along the shore, and the man with the
net keeps his eyes and ears open for the
ripple and sound of the sportive shrimp
As the shrimp moves through the water
he is beautiful sight The most beau
tiful colors shine from his long body,
and his fan shaped tail stirs the phos-
phorescence and leaves behind him sub
dued trail of fire.
When the usual quantity is caught
and the turning of the tide takes the
shrimp to other spots, the shrimpers
pull for the wharves to sell their spoil.
Long before daybreak the venders, men
and women, are ON hand with theiI
trays to get their mornings supply fol
their numerous customers The number
/ of these venders can be safely put at 800.

Addison is the very embodiment of
that delightful gift of humor on which
we pride ourselves so much as a special
ly English quality. That in its way his
style is the perfection of English style
is less dear and delightful to us than
that what it conveys is the perfection of
feeling. His art is the antipodes of that
satirical art which allows human ex-
cellence only to grid at it and insinuate
motives which diminish or destroy. Ad-
olson, on the other hand, allows imper-
fections which his Interpretation turns
into something sweeter than virtue and
throws delightful CLEAN of love and
laughter upon the eccentricities and
characteristic follies of individual ma
ture. That he sees everything is one Of
the conditions of his genial forgiveness
of all that is not mean or base or cruel.
With these he makes no terms. Mrs.

A NEGLECTED WONDER.

The Spanish Escurial Marvellous Speci-
men of Ancient Architecture.
The Escurial, the palace of the Span
ish king, an architectural marvel, for
merly described as the eighth wonder
of the world" is now seldom spoken
of, even by those who are ready to go
wild over much less pretentious struc-
lures. The cornerstone of this Spanish
st. Peter's s" was laid by Philip II in
1868, but it was 800 years 1868 before
the monstrous building was pronounced
finished. 1t was built by Philip in full
fillment of vow to "erect the finest
monastery in the world" srAd his
forces be successful in their great battle
with the French. That battle was fought
at ST. Quentin on Aug 10, 1867, ST.
Lawrence day, and in order to honor
that saint as well as to fulfill his vow
the king had the foundation of his great
memorial laid off in the shape of a grid
iron, the implement of torture upon
which the goodly Lawrence is reputed
to have suffered martyrdom.
To those who have never visited the
Escurial the size of the gigantic struc-
ture is beyond comprehension. 1t is 740
feet from north to south and 5801a feet
from east to west, the square towers at
each corner rising to height of over 200
feet Within this monstrous building is
the kings palace, a cathedral, a monas-
terry of 200 cells, two colleges, three
chapter houses, three library buildings,
five large halls, six dormitories, three
hospitals and over 3, 900 other rooms. In
order to make st. Lawrence's gridiron
complete, the building is built in quad
rangular form, with II rows or ranges
of monstrous stone structures crossing
each other at right angles, these form
ing the gridiron's ribs, the handle be-
ing a wing 47O feet in length. The
church, which is part of this vast pile
of masonry, is 1854 feet long, $50 feet
wide, with a dome $50 feet in height.
1t is estimated that the building cost
| $50, 900, 000.-St. Louis Republic.
