Sleeping on the stomach.

Sound, restful sleep both by night and
by day, is IL ore easily induced if from the
first the child be taught tolie on its stomach
and face. The only necessary precaution
against Suffocation is the provision Of a
smooth, flat, somewhat hard hair mat
tress without pillow. The advantages Of
this position are many. Some one has said
that half the diseases of infancy result
from keeping the stomach too cold and the
osher half from overheating the spine. By
adopting the position suggested as the
uniform one during the hours of sleep, the
stomach and abdomen are kept so warm
as TO prevent collie and stomach ache, and
materially to aid the digestive process,
While the spine and back of the head are no
longer overheated by the increased tetnpera-
ture OF the sleeping child. 1t may be
coincidence merely, but it is at least
q significant one, that all the children the
writer has known to rest haDitually face
downward have been unusually sound
sleepers, and have enjoyed more than
average good health.-Ilarper's Weekly.

\ MARVELLOUS CASE.
Doctors Say Joseph HadGer's Wound
Should Have Caused Instant Death.

DR.. Lawrence and the staff OF the Emer-
gencv Hospital yesterday afternoon per
formed an autopsy upon the body OF Joseph
Hadger, the young man who died at the
hospital Friday night as result OF a self
inflicted bullet wound in the head. The
bullet had plowed its way through the cen
ter of the brain from the right side OF the
head, and was found just beneath the skull
above the left ear.
The physicians consider the case one
OF the most marvellous of its kind that has
ever come TO the hospital, as the wound
should have caused instant death. Hadger
lived forty-eight hours after ne shot him
self, but at no time did he regain con
sciousncSs. The doctors state that there
is scarcely an instance on record where,
with such bullet wound through the brain,
the patient ever survived longer than a
few moments
No trace could be discovered of any place
where the former bullet, when the Young
was shot eighteen years ago, had entered
the brain, andit is supposed to have passed
through his eye and down into his body
and lodged in some OF the muscles

KATE Fields InueIy Life.

There is another bright woman OF whom
l must spcak-she who went to the better
country not long agoin far away Honolulu -
brave Kate Field. She was living in New
York in those early Sorosis days, spending
all her leisure in literary labors. and among
other things, writing editorials for the
Herald She was a strange admxture,
sympathetic, loyal, generous, yet combat
i've at times and hard to suit She fought
a good fight in the battle OF life, and in
the fever called living found no time to
tie rose garlands. She was the soul of
honesty ana honor. She was quick spoken
and often tactless, but never turned from
a friend or reviled an enemy. She had a
hard life, and not very successful one, but
she never lost her self-respcct. She lived
alone, even as a young and not unattract-
i've girl She was one OF the Cleverest,
most self-contained and self-sustaining
women of her generation, and hers was
one of the most contradictory individuali-
ties have ever known. She never had a
