Though It Is true, as the author Of q
school composition once asserted. that
sleeping IL a universal practice
among all nations" 1t IL also true that
there is a great diversity In the
methods Of sleeping among people Of
life. says the Youths Companion.
The things that n needs TO make him

would keep another awake all night.
Even the sedative medicines which
put one person Immediately into u

Tho European or American, In order
to sleep we'll. ordinarily requires a
downy pillow under his head; but the

While the people OF northern coun-
tries can not sleep unless they have
plenty Of to stretch out their
legs, the inhabitants Of tho tropics
often curl themselves up like monkeys
at the lower angle OF a suspended
hammock. and sleep soundly In that
position.
