About the Waistcoat.

Not long ago a man who walks with
the aid of a crutch, on account OF hav-
ing lame leg, went TO the opera. The
prices were high, and he elected TO
view the show from the gallery.
There was an awful crush, and I'm go-

nearly squeezed TO death; but the ci-
max came when he felt a severe tug at
the lower part OF his crutch. and at the
same time heard a man behind him ex-
claim 10 his friend encouragingly:

BeetrOOf.

The time for cooking this tasty vege-
table depends upon its age. Young
-beet+eets win cook in one hour but
this Is only the first and very young
root, afterwards allow more and more
time, till, when winter comes, three
hours will be required for boiling a
large beetroot.

HAPPY AS THE DAY IS LONG

Through the sunny bygone days of early
 life.
 In a garden sweet and wild. Knowing naught of sorrow - knowing
 naught of strife Played I as little child: Sporting with the sunbeams. romping with
 the breeze. Dancing to the redbiri's song, Laughing at the blossoms falling from
 the trees Happy as the day was long! This has been my motto. through the fleet
 ing years: "Never mind the shades of night. They but show there's sunshine-Never
 mind the tears. They are only dew-drops bright" Mid the blooming flowers of the summer
 day.
 This Is still my care-free song: ~Earth is but garden. I'm child at Happy as the day Is long!" tn the royal garden of the Prince of Light. Flowers blossom through the years; Yet each shifting shadow hints of earthly
 night
 Ev'ry dew-drop hints of tears. There. throughout the endless. golden sum-
 mer day,
 This shall be my heartfelt song: ~deaven's but garden. I'm a child at
 play
 Happy as the day is longg'

jam was breaking. ard in few hundred seconds the wreck would be upon him.
 He remembered how fearful the tu.
 mutt was, and how Jake l.eary had lost his footing the previous sprinr when the logs went out. When Jake's foot slipped he was doomed man: there was yet time for Jerry to turn
 and run for life. But the wind swept down and buffeted him, and it's rage entered his heart.
 The huge mass of timber and ice auaked and groaned and the noise of the surging water wns louder. Jerry glanced again at the pitiful figure on the rock, and sprang toward it, rum ming as the watchers had never seen Q man run before. He shouted to Jim to stand ready; and Jim, though he could not hear, understood. With his friend near he began to recover from his numbing terror. As the jam moved with its first long, grinding swell, Jerry reached him.
 "Come on! That's the way. Here ye be, old fellow. Don't let go. Elf you do -ef you do--"
 Now there was sharp, splitting, tear ing sound above the dull roar, which told Jerry that the jam was breaking from top to bottom. He leaped faster, his face fiercer and very white. Jim
 could feel the iron frame gather itself
 convulsively. Only few hundred feet
 now, and they would be safe. An!
 That was nobly done. The men cheered
 wildly. Jerry ran like deer before the
 dogs, but the water pursued even moro swiftly. There was a fearful crash and
 cry from Jim. He saw black wall of
 water and jagged logs hidden in foam
 rolling down upon them. The ice be-
 meath Jerry's feet split to right and
 left; it was moving, and he stumbled
 twice. But with three jumps he could
 reach the shore. One brave leap, an-
 other, and the ice cleared. Now wide lane of water swirled between him and
 safety. George and the doctor were
 standing waist deep in the stream to help him, and he gathered his strength
 for that last leap. The gap widened and
 he saw it could not be done with Jim
 as handicap. He must toss the boy
 over first. Jerry's foothold was now
 only pitching block of ice, caught on a temporary obstruction. As they bal-

Cure for sleeple.snes.,

A Swedish servant maid, finding that her mistress was troubled with sleep. lessness, told her of practice of the people of her country who are similarly afflicted. It was to take a napkin, dip 1t into ice-cold water, wiring it slightly, and lay it across her eyes. The plan was followed, and it worked like charm. The first night the lady slept four hours without awaking-something she had not done for several months. At the end of that time the napkin had become dry. By wetting 1t again she at once went to sleep, and 1t required consider able force to rouse her in the morning.

rose, increasing to Q violent windstorm as the day wore on. The softened ice began to pound against the jam from above, and the loggers stood idly about waiting for the break. Onthe Windfail the .nen could scarcely stand against the raging. shrieking wind. Late in the day Dr. Mason came, asking for Jim. Behind him. Pierre struggled, breath. less and pale.
 Boy on river!" he cried. Come! Hurry!"
 Running to the bank, they saw Jim clinging to rock far up the stream. Evidently he had wandered along the ice, ignorant of danger. They beckoned him wildly, but he was now panic struck, and would not move. The shores opposite him were rocky and steep, and spiked with drift wood. The men stood at the only spot where he could reach land. But none offered to go to him in the face of almost certain death.
 As they waited, there came sudden pause, moment when the wind rested, and the Oswegatchie boomed less threateningly against its barriers. IL was the moment to rescue him, and the men faced each other. Then they shrunk back with pale faces. Why throw away their lives? :.
 A moment later the wind swept with grim roar along the path which it had moved through the forest 40 years before. The great Windfall was like a tunnel opening on the river, where already the log jam creaked and swayed. Jim might live to be swept into that whirlpool with its craunching timbers. Sickened and trembling, they awaited the dreadful event; these men who braved dangers daily were cravens now. There was one-onc only--one more man in such storm; but he was mile away in the upper camp.
 They thought of Jerry with . com mon impulse.

 "Go after Jerry."
 The speakers paused, for along the footpath Jerry was coming rapidly to- ward them. The great muscles of his arms and chest knotted beneath his red shirt as he breasted the wind. His sup pie stride brought him quickly to the
