I'm told her married life was hard and chang.

But now she's ~slumbering we'll up there, where

Forgotten are all wrongs to her In that unend'

One heart is still rs true as then, when I was

GOING TO SLEEP
Slumber Begins at the Feet and
Creeps Up to the Brain.

1lumber Begins at the Feet and
Creeps Up to the Brain.
"Order is heavens first law" and
the truth is manifested even in the
process Of going to sleep. When a
man drops off to sleep, his body does
not do so all at once, so to speak.
Some senses become dormant gefore
others, and always in the same Or
der. AS he becomes drowsy the eyes
close and the of seeing is at rest.
1t is quickly followed by the disap-
pearance of the n Of taste. He
next loses the sense Of smell, ana
then, after a short interval, the tym-
panum becomes insensible to sound,
or rather the erv which run to the
brain from it fail to arouse any sense
Of hearing. The last sense to leave is
that of touch, and in some hypersen-
sitive people it is hardly ever dormant,
Even in their cases, however, there
what touched them. This sense Is
also the first to return upon awaken
ing. Then hearing follows suit, after
that taste, and then the eye becomes
able to flash impressions back to the
brain. The sense Of smell oddly
enough though it is by no means the
first to go, IS the last to come back.
The same gradual loss Of power is OBJ
served in the muscles and sinews, as
we'll as in the senses. Slumber be-
gins at the feet and slowly spreads up
the limbs and trunk until it reaches
the brain, when unconsciousness is
complete and the whole body is at
rest. This is why sleep is impossible
when the feet are cold. ID

JAcOBA JUGS.
Quaint Cups That Have a History
Connected With a Dutch Queen.

quaint Cups That Have a History
Connected With a Dutch Queen.
Among the many curious objects in
Dutch silver that may be purchased
nowadays are very quaint Dutch sill
yer jugs. They are called "Jacoba
Jugs" and their origin is traced back
to the unfortunate Jacoba, queen of
Holland, who died in 1436. Jacoba of
Bavaria, generally called in her life
time Lady Jacob, was sixteen years Of
age at her fathers death, and succeed
ed to the throne in the year 1416. Her
right of succession was very question
able, in virtue of the Sale law, then
prevailing in Holland. But the whole
country being divided in two great
parties, the Hoecks and Kabeljauws,
her father secured her succession by
granting many privileges to the
Hoecks.
Her uncle, John of Bavaria, bishop
of Liege, opposed her succession. He
asserted that Jacoba, having no claim
to the throne of Holland on account of
the Salic law, he was entitled to the
succession; but he consented to a COM
promise by which she retained her
throne, but gave up part of her prov
inces. She is commonly called the I'M
fortunate Jacoba, chiefly by reason of
her four unhappy marriages. At the
age of sixteen she had been betrothed
to the Dauphin of France, who died
shortly afterward. Her second hus-
band was John of Brabant, a lazy, dull
fellow, incapable Of compan'onship
with a lovely young wife. Her third
husband was the duke Of Gloucester,
who scandalousE betrayed her. John
of Bavaria and John of Brabant were
Spendthrifts and obtained money from
Philip of Burgundy by pledging' ia
cOba's estates. By the treaty of Delft,
in 1920, it was stipulated that Jacoba
should be maintained in possession Of
all her estates, and of her country SO
long as she should live, but that at her
death those possessions should fall to
Philip of Burgundy. She was not. to
contract a fourth marriage without
Philips consent.
This agreement IA violated by ia
coba herself, who fell in love with
Frank Won Borselen, a knight of great
! renown and governor of Zealand,
whom she secretly married. For this
Ii was dispossessed Of all her estates
and of the title of countess Of Holland
and iceland, of which Philip of Bur-
gundy took possession, After that she
had but scanty She retired
from the world and found a retreat in
the castle of Ferlingen. in the neigh
borhood Of Leyden. She lived there
happily and died at the age of thirty
six years, October 8, 1896.
After her death there were found in
the bitches surrounding the castle lit.

called Jacoba %kannetyes 0Jacoba pots
which, it is said, were used for drink
ing wine, and, after having been
emptied, were thrown over the head
out Of the window. These pots, OF
jugs like them, were for a long time
used in Holland for drinking coffee
1t was pretended that coffee was more
savory when drunk out of these pots

The steam began to blow through

Danger OF Cosmetics.

The use of cosmetics, face powders
and rouges cannot be too strongly con
demned. They stamp the person using
them as silly and vulgar in the eyes
of all refined and cultured people, and
do not in even the slightest degree en-
nance or beautify. A good complex
ion needs no artificial toning or height
ening, nature being the cleverest Of
all artists. A poor skin is kept clog
ged and it's condition impoverished by
the application of cosmetics-often, in
deed, it is poisoned by the harmful in
gradients contained in them. Arsenic
and white lead are two of the drugs
used in their preparation and two Of
the rankest poisons which can be in
troduced into the system. Medical
treatment for the Identifying, pre-
serving and improving the complexion

On Rad Handwriting.

One Of the most important things for
boys md girls to learn to do is to
write plainly, so that those who have
to read what they wyite arc left in no
doubt as to their meaning. Several
amusing stories Of the embarrassment
which has followed not learning to
write legibly are told. One of these
10 OF a Massachusetts, clergyman who
nearly got himself into a peck Of
trouble because of the bad quality Of
his handwriting. 1t was more than a
century ago that this clergyman had
occasion to address q letter to the
General Court of Massachusetts, upon
some subject of great interest at that
time. When the letter was received
the court ordered the clerk to read 1t,
and were filled with wrath at what
appeared to be these words in open
ing:
Il address you not as magistrates,
but as Indian DEVILS"
"Wbat" they cried. Read that
over again. How does lie address
us?'
"Not MS magistrates, but as Indian
Devils" repeated the clerk. "That's
what he says"
The letter was passed around, and
the judges were by no means pleased
to see that the clerk had apparently
made no mistake. Very angry at
what they believed to be IN insult,
the judges passed a vote Of censure
upon the clergyman, and wrote to
him demanding an apology. He came
before them in person, when it turned
out that where the Judges bad read

looked through his pockets, and pull
Ing out every letter he could find he
carefully read the addresses. The
envelopes had all been directed to
'Stuart Sinclair" and so the gentle
man from New York seemed to he

and he was really the man he had sup

at the register, and there, directly
