How the Arabs Sleep.

LOnuon tuDuc OplnlOn.
The fact that in Algeria there are very
few maladies of the nose, ears and throat
has caused DR.. Madeuf. an eminent French
physician, to inquire into its cause, and
he has found 1t due in q large measure to
the practice of Arab mothers. who train
their children to sleep on a hard bed with
one or two coverlets for bed clothing, and
to lie on their sides. not on their backs. 1t
can easily be shown that the right side is
preferable to the left for a person to sleep
on. For enc thing, the action of the heart
or liver is not impeded in any way by the
pressure of the body when one lies on the
right side. DR.. Madeuf seems to think that t
sleeping on the back is the worst OF all.
If there is any irritation Of the mucous
membrane Of the nose, 1t is apt to extend
to the ears and throat when one sleeps in
this position. Moreover. one ia cry prone
to breathe by the mouth. which Is neither
a healthy nor seemly habit. The doctor,
therefore, counsels all mothers to accus-
tom their children to hard beds and to
sleep on their sides-above all, on their
right sides. The habit formed in infancy
will be useful to them in their way through
life. and probably save them from more
than one illness.

Gold From a Corner Stone.


New Jersey burglars are getting pretty
mean. The town of Peal altRiver, Just across
the New. York line, was much exercised
yesterday over the discovery that some en-
terprising but sacrilegious criminals have
stolen the corner stone of the Methodist
Church.
They did not steal the church, presuma-
bly, because they did not want it, and did
not carry the stone very far. But they
pried it far enough out and away from the
building to carry away the tin box which
had been placed in it when the foundation
of the church was laid. The tin box con-
tained a number of papers that were valu-
able. The corner stone wis very large, and
the thieves must have spent censidera BILE
time in getting It loose from the mortar
reward has been offered for their arrest
The box also contained s. gold piece.
1t isa thought the hot financial discussion of
the bending campaign may have reminded
some old citizen of the presence Of the gold
coin in the corner stone, but SO far the
crime has not been laid to the door of any
particular party.

JaDanese Tea.

From the New Orleans Picnyune.
The Japanese ladies, Of course, make tea
to perfection; somehow the cup that cheers
but does not inebr;ate seems to be always
associated with the dainty little women
who fit about like SO many gorgeous hum
ming BIRDS in beautiful Japan. seeming de-
termined not to be outdone by the glorious
scenery in the midst Of which they live
and die.
The approved Japanese style Of tea max
ing is as follows: From kettle Of boiling
water they pour into an earthen or china
teapot enough to heat the pot thoroug lily !;
then they empty out the water and put in
the tea, let it stand five minutes and serve.
The teapot must not touch the stove.
A little tea cozy Of Japanese Is clappad
over the teapot the moment the water Is
poured on, and a delicious cup of tea Is
thus secured without having extracted the
Injurious ingredient-the tannin.

From the Chicago Record
One can pick up lots of interesting little

oldest and one of the most Influential pa
pers in Canada, was established by Renja-

able tc find reference to the fact In any
Of his biographies. During the revolution

his Green Mountain boys attacked Mon
treal, but were defeated and made prison.
ers by Governor General Carleton. Mont
gomery came later, captured the city, and
took possession Of the government houses
in the name Of the Continental Congress.
Then Benjamin Franklin came north, as
a sort of informal ambassador, and endeav-
cred to persuade the Canadians to join
New England and the other colonies in the
revolution. Among other measures used
by him to influence public opinion was the
establishment of a newspaper, called the
Gazette, which still remains as q memorial
Of the incident. ard 1t is now the most
