"KJVG CHARLES THE MARTYR"

The claim of some Episcopalians that their

other churches who regard it as a bit Of de-

so that its members and we'll wlshers have
some reason for their belief that it may become
one of the strongest religious bodies in the
country.
Rut il is safe TO say that unless certain reac
tionary tendencies in the Church are repressed
it is likely to lose rapidly the sympathy and
goodwill that Americans generally now feel
for it. A few more incidents like the unveiling
of portrait of king Charles the Martyr" the
other day. in an Episcopal church Of Phila-
delphia. would not only arrest any movement
toward the Church, but would drive ont a large
number of its most loyal members. Who was

Card Etiquette,

Card etiquette is more pronounced
on the continent than in America,
for society as whole is more con-
ventional and social customs are
much more matters of form. Emo.
tions are expressed by cards, and, as
an example, Katherine de Forest
tells of bride whose husband had
lived in Paris 10 or Is years before
she married him. The proper thing
for her to do on her arrival was to
leave cards with all her husbands
friends-that is to say, at the places
where he was in the habit of visit
ing, or with women who had said
to him that they hoped his wife
would call on them. Nearly all these
cards were returned within a week
in person-that is to say, the right
hand corner of the card was turned
down. And when the woman leav-
ing it had a reception day not en-.
graved, it was written in the lower
left hand corner. It 80 happened,
however, that two of the husbands
visiting acquaintance were not
pleased with his marriage and did
not care to know his wife. They
simply left cards with no corner
turned, and the wife did not call
again. A year later little misun-
derstanding that had crept up be-
tween tho two families was ex-
planned away, the two ladies left
cards with corners turned down and
their day written upon them, and
the course Of social intercourse ran
smoothly ever after. San Francisco

How to Stop Snoring.

To those who snore and are aware
of the infrmity and wish to get rid
OF it we would commend the follow
ing: There are two channels In
which the air travels in going to the
lungs-namely, the nose and the
mouth. These two passages unite
in common cavity, and from that
point there is but one tube leading
to the lungs. There is bone, called
the hard palate, which forms the
roof of the mouth and the floor Of
the nose, separating these two air
channels from each other. At the
inner or posterior end of the bone
is little body called the soft palate,
made of muscle and covered with a
delicate skin. This soft palate is
attached at one end to the hard pal
ate. The other end hangs loose and
moves or laps in the act of breath
ing, something like window cur
tain when acted upon by current
Of air. This is it's condition while
we are asleep or awake, though dur.
ing sleep it is much more relaxed or
fabby than when we are awake.
Now, in order to snore one must
keep the mouth open as we'll as the
nose, and in this condition the two
currents of air passing in and out
together during the act Of breathing
catch this little current between
them and throw it into rapid vi.
bratiS This vibration, more or
less In SO and sonorous, is what
we call snoring. It is only with the
mouth open that snoring can be ac-
complished. Try to sleep with your
mouth closed, and if you can sue
ceed in doing so you will cure your.
self Of very disagreeable perform
ance-certainly disagreeable to 9th
ers if not to yourself.-New York
