To the Editor:
While on one OF the Sound steamers yesterday
was surprised to see small canoe with poth
sails fully rugged vending Its way towards south
Brother Island. The water on the Sound was
extremely rough-in fact. 1t seemed almost I'M
possible for 20 frail craft to keep In lis proper
position. No rowboat was In sight TO render IL
assistance should 1t be needed only the large
Yachts and steamers The canoe had two youths
about seyenteen years old one wore red striped
suit and a straw hat. while his friend had a blue
suit. I send this to your noted paper, hoping
that one Of them may be a reader and that 1t
might catch his eye. / wish to congratulate
them for the skill In handling, but not for being
30 foolhardy as to risk their lives In such O
thing and hope they will take my advice and
II they want to have a sail to go on a less windy
day or In a larger boat used to such weather.

Insomnia and Double Beds.

The same kind of economy which
would put two people in the same bed
to sleep, would, II carried far enough,
require them to sit in the same chair
and eat from the same plate. In a
general way, each person should have
an entire bed. Two or three single beds
in the same room where that is ne
cessity, are much better than putting
two or three persons into one large bed.
This Is especially true where either per-
son is nervous, restless, or in imperfect
health from any cause. The slight
movement OF another person is fire.
quently sufficient to dispel approaching
slumber and induce long period OF
wakefulness. Settled insomnia frequently
owes its origin to this cause.

Care Of the body is the beginning OF
good manners
In the street cars, at churches AMI
theatres, the vast numbers of unwashe
persons make themselves odious to their
nelghbors; often n well-dressed man or
woman is quite as disgusting as those
whose outward garb shows their low grade
of life. Every one washes the face amt
hands when dressing in the morning.
Then why not sponge over with water
the whole surface of the skin. which
will keep its innumerable glands and
pores in an active and healthy state.
and increase the visor Of every organ OF
the body? One can do this without q
bath-tub. yet 1t is more easily accom-
pllshed with one; but with a two-quart
basin a thorough cleansing of the body
can be given

Some Women of the stage.

To the Editor:
I see by the papers that some people are as
tonl,hed that Miss Pollard is going on the stage
yet there is nothing to wonder at; In fact think
that many people would be disappointed II she
didn't because It is the place for people who
have gained notoriety and l think 1t won't IN
lure Miss Madeline In the least. She will draw
a big house and be a good card. Some time ago
a noted Frenchwoman came to this country to 20
or the stage, and a few American ladies gave
her a tea party. She made short speech In
broken English to her American friends as she
called them: "ze difference between re Amer
lean lady and 70 French lady Ia. French lady,
Ave children, no husband; re American lady. no
children, many husbands" and she grinned.
CIergymen warned their congregations against
seeing or hearing this woman; but hundreds oil
church members almost broke their necks to get
into the theatre where she was playing. SO
say let Miss Pollard go on the stage IL she wants
to- And 1t is nobody's blamed business

The Comfort of CleanIincss.

None but those who have been sick.
and know from personal experience. can
tell how much delicious comfort can be
secured after the skin has been care
fully washed and properly dried. 1t is
not the mere feeling of comfort which
has been obtained. but II is a sign that
the vital powers have been relieved by
removing something which was oppress-
ing them.
Cleanliness OF skin and ventila ton
have much the same end in view, the
removal of noxious materials from the
system as rapidly as possible.

Grand Old Vegetarian ms.

Some of the grandest characters In
history were vegetarians. All the Greek
philosophers and Roman stoics ate green
things. Milton, Newton and Carlyle lived
on cereals. Tennyson. who led an ideal
life, is said to have cared more for the
fruit, wine and nuts served after din
ner than the regular meals. The Lake
side poets were vegetarians, and historf-
has Jesus Christ. st. Paul. AbrahaLAs
Socrates, Martin Luther, Byron, Wesley.
Swedenborg and the noble race Of gentle
Brahmins on the same list.

thirty years. She has the cross of the
Legion OF Honor and "a casket filed with
