Sac Paulo College, Brazil. 1.-The
need of a college in Brazil, for the pur-
pose of training Christian teachers and
preachers, was for many years recog-
nized by most of the missionaries in
that country. II organization was
proposed by the first synod of the Pres
byterian church of Brazil, and was op-
posed by the general assembly of the
Northern Presbyterian church, in 1889.
The college owes its existence to the
t~ireless activity and the generous gifts
of Rev. George W. Chamberlain. the
well-known missionary of the Presby-
terrain board in Brazil. The college is
located upon a valuable plot of land
in the city of Sac Paulo. On the same
grounds is also the Boys Boarding
school.

sTATELINEss IN WOMEN.

The Writer Says 1t Never Excites the Adj
mfration of the Men.
Stateliness in women proceeds from
sources different from stateliness in
men, says the London Spectator. It
is much more independent, to begin
with, OF outward gifts Not to men
ton u w queen, who, as people
who are not courtiers affirm, can be
stately to awfulness, and Queen Isa-
bella of Spain, who, in spite of her
history and her bulk, is regal to an
unusual degree, it is certain that the
stateliness of Maria Theresa impressed
all who came in contact with her, and
certain also that no man as homely
and u~nreseryed as she was in speech
and in bearing would have been cred
tied with s~tateliness.
1t seems to be more allied in women
than in men with independence of
mind, Dr. a ems hat the will is it's
own justiication-an absence, that is,
Of fear of external influence. The
personality, s~ufficss to itself, and there
fore there Is statel;Hess. That is, we
think, the secret reason why ~stateli-
ness in women annoys most men and
many of the same sex. They think
they ought to be more influential, and
resent what they consider to be aloof-
ness Unapproachableness which, Of
course, is one of the conditions of
stateliness, irritates men in women,
being, in fact, a faint affront to their
amour propre, and we think many
women feel that, too. At least, we
notice that this form of praise, when
it is given to women, is a little
cold, and that the reverence a stately
woman excites is apt to be a little chilly.
There is 4 reason for that in nature,
the first function of a woman being to
attract, and a reason, too, in the con-
fusion which most men make in their
thoughts when they are thinking of
women, that stateliness must indicate
hauteur or unkindliness. Very
often it is not so at all, some of the
sweetest women being stately, but the
mistake is nearly always made, and
when a man, or, for that matter, a
woman. attributes to n woman stateli-
ness, there is seldom complete cordial
ity in the ~eulogistic word.

SUGGESTIONS FOR INSOMNIA.
A Teacher of Sleep" Tells What to Do in
the Arms of Morpheus.

There has actually been found a
new field for expert invasion. A per-
son has arisen who thinks we do not
know how to sleep, and suggests hat
some one making n speciality of this
culture should himself
teacher of Sleep" and predicts for
this pioneer, be 1t man or woman, a
large fortune. How not to sleep is al
so explained. Anna Payson Call tells
it in her book, Power Through Re-
pose" Don't adopt any habitual atti-
tude when you go to sleep. AS you
are when you drop away in the arms
of Morpheus you are likely to stay for
some time, and, if you tie yourself up
in hard knots, before they are united
by the soothing power of slumber
they will leave their impress.
Round shoulders, uneven hips, pro-
truding collar bones, TO say nothing of
the horrid wrinkles from squeezing
the eyes shut and knitting the face in
to lines and burrows, are a few of the
evils which result from not knowing
how to go to sleep. Even young wom-
en- are to listen and take warning, for
the bad work is soon done and it is
hard to undo. Lie fiat on the back, on
a mattress which is not too soft, the
head on a small pillow; the room must
be cool and the clothing warm but
light. The eyes should be lightly
closed and the hands left easily at the
sides. Do not draw the corners of your
mouth down, which will make those
ugly creases from the nose down to-
ward the chin. 1t is easy to cultivate
this sense of relaxation. Learn to inn
agine yourself heavy, as if you could
not help letting a toms weight down
on the mattress.
Take a lesson from the baby; he
sleeps in utter physical abandonment.
That is why he falls out of bed, and
why, as he rows older and begins to
keep the tension of waking hours
through slumber time, he stops falling
out of bed. Watch tonight and see
how you are managing it, and if you
are on your arms, are crossing your
knees, putting your hands above you
on the pillow, crowding your toes in
between the mattress and footboard,
tucking your hand under your cheek,
curving yourself around like a pa
renthesis mark-stop all or any such
practices right awav and try simple
relaxed repose-Chicago Tribune.

Names O: Indian Children.

Everyone knows that many queer

dams, but it may surprise some read
ers to learn that similar names cling
to Indian children, even after they
enter the government schools. The
following list is furnished by a teacher
in one of the government schools in
Oklahoma territory. They are taken
from the school register, and. while
they are not such as to be pleasing to
civilized people, the Indian youth are
as proud of them as if they were Smith
or Brown.
1t should be said also that the boys
and girls are bright, intelligent chill

as well behaved as their white neigh
