THINKING OF OTHERS.


Sentiments.
THINKING OF OTHERS.
How true it is that we must put ourselves
out little to be kind to Others if we would be
happy ourselves. Just look at the people who
go to the socials and reunions if you would be
certain sure that this is true.
Who are the happy ones upon such oc-
casious? Are they who 20 of selfshly in
corner and sit down, without any effort to
make themselves agreeable, the ones who have
the bright faces and the merry heartsp
Not so. The men and the women. the boys
and the girls, who want to keep things NOV
ing, even though they have TO take an undue
amount of work on their hands, are the ones
who are truly happy.
Live and let live; give and take; help and
be helped. This is the philosophy of right
living.
SLEEP OR DIE.
The value of sleep as a curative agency is
often overlooked. For those who have been
long overtaxed, body or mind, there is no med
icine like it.
Find quiet place and sleep. Sleep morning,
noon and night taking time for refreshment
and exercise regularly, until thoroughly re-
stored.
ing with the sick, or with broken rest from the
care OF young children, fail TO take the restora-
tive nature has at hand. In the end they pay
dearly for their neglected opportunities
Mothers sit up sewing when they should be
asleep. Better fewer fTils and furbelows
the clothing of the little ones and a smiling
face and bright eyes for the dear mother, upon
whom such burdens of care must surely fall.
Do not think you can make up for the loss
of sleep 10y taking greater quantities of food.
Appetite fails and digestion is impaired by too
long wakelulDess. Few people can get along
with less than eight hours sleep and keep at
their best.
How long can man live without sleep? some
one asks. We know he can live from 20 to 40
days without food and recover. We know, too.
that insane people sometimes go for weeks
without sleep.
Bot in China, where they employ the waking
torture as punishment for crime. the victim
seldom survives more than 10 days. though
they have all they wish to eat or drink. When
the poor unfortunate closes his eyes he is jab-
bed with spears and sharp sticks until he is
wide awake or can keep mp no longer. Then
death comes. There is no torture so terrible.
