Derivation Of emo WORD SUNDAY.

From the Woman's Home Compan-
ion: The word Sabbath" is He
brew term for period as well as quail
ity Of time, and means rest" In the
Bible it is used only with this mean
ing. Periods of one year or OF seven
years were thus characterized. Every
seventh day was observed by the He
brews as weekly Sabbath" In ad-
dition to this day others were ap-
pointed in which the obligation to
cease from labor was as binding as the
observance Of the weekly Sabbath. :"
Sunday" is so named from the day
which was dedicated to the worship of
the sun. Christian nations observe It
as their sabbath; but Sabbath" is
not Sunday"

Net to Break Waves.

A series of experiments is about to
begin at Havre with Baron d'Alessan-
dro's invention of floating nets for use
In storms for moderating the force of
the waves. The invention is said to be
superior in effects to oil. Trials were
made at Cherbourg. which proved that
hoating nets would be of enormous
value to vessels at sea in storm, as
well as for the defense of exposed
COASTS and fishing stations against
heavy seas.
Baron d'Alessandro has improved his
invention and is now convinced that
well buoyed and ballasted nets will
withstand the most powerful currents
and violent tempests.

How Mark Twain FIJI. . Pipe.

Mark Twain smokes 5000 cigars a
year, but cigars merely represent his
dessert in the way OF smoking. The
solid repast OF nicotine is taken by
means Of corncob pipe. Mark Twain
Is lazy man, and likes to do things
with the least trouble to himself. He
smokes a granulated tobacco which he
keeps in long check bag made of silk
and rubber. When he has finished
smoking he knocks the residue from
the bowl Of the pipe. takes out the
stem, places 1t in his vest pocket, like
a pencil or a stylographic pen, throws
the bowl into the bag containing the
granulated tobacco and puts the bag
into his coat pocket. When he wishes
to smoke again (this is usually fve
minutes later) he fishes out the bowl,
which is now filled with tobacco, in
serts the stem. and strikes light.

DisagreeabiA Things.
Senator Mason has been sitting at
New York as n smelling committee for
O week or ten days under the authori-
ty of the Senate to find out something
about the adulteration Of food. Tha
evidence that has been given him by
some Of the witnesses is likely to drive
us all to starvation. Persons have tes-
titled that ordinary white bread fs
deadly poison and that the many cases
Of heart failure that we hear Of nowa-
days are directly due to the large con-
sumption of that staple and other
breadstuffs. Corn meal and oatmeal,
bread and milk and griddle cakes are
deadly, while soda crackers are more
destructive to the human family than
dumdum bullets or dynamite bombs.
Meat and potatoes have been demon
strated to be unfit for food; coffee and
tea contain tannin that destroys the
lining of the stomach; fish are unclean
and unhealthful, because the waters in
which they live have been polluted by
tanbark and sewage Of our cities; all
garden sass is unwholesome, be-
cause of the fertilizers that feed the
ground in which 1t grows. Chickens.
turkeys and geese are worse than beef
and mutton, because of the food they
consume. Water and milk are the most
prolific producers Of disease germs. All
our cured meats are impregnated with
acids, and man might as well eat
clay of anthracite coal as such an in-
digestible thing as cheese. In fact, II
the testimony Senator Mason has TAX
er is true, there Is nothing fit to eat In
all the universe. and the only way to
avoid being poisoned is to pay your
board up to the end Of the week and
quit eating.

Composer Never Rests and Accomplshea

Writing a play or comic opera is
looked upon by many people as diff
cult task. II the result of their labors
is an enormous success it is considered
an achievement worthy of note. This
being the case, consider Harry B.
Smith, the most prolific concocter OF
musical performances that ever lived,
and what he has done and Is doing.
Since his first work some dozen years
ago the number Of comic operas he has
turned out is almost beyond belief, but
some idea can be gained from the fact
that this season at least a dozen OF
his works are being played ito wonder
full business" and probably five or six
more will emanate from his pen before
the season is fully finished. How he
does 1T all is incomprehensible, espe-
cialiy as he never appears to be busy,

plies Mr.. Smith. You may have 1t to-
morrow night, as far as my work is
concerned" And the promise is kept.
From that time on all the star has to
worry about are the composer of the
music, the makers Of scenery and cos
tunes. Before the opera has been pro-
duced Mr.. Smith has vritten four or
five more. His capacity for work is
marvellous.

People Arc Not Necessarily Bored or
Sleepy When They Cape.
Some folks assert that we yawn be-
cause we are tired; others say that the
yawn means the exact reverse-that
one yawns only when he is interested
deeply. Now comes along scientist
who has brand new theory. that the
yawn simply expresses lack of res
ptratory power and that one yawns
only to get more air into his lungs.
According to him yawning is simply q
deep Inspiration. deeper and continued
for longer period than a sigh. which
Is drawn through the widely open
mouth and accompanied by a depres-
sion OF the lower jaw and an elevation
OF the shoulder. In this way the ut
most capacity is obtained for the en-
trance OF air and the fatigued respira-
tion power Is re-enforced. At theater
the people who are interested most
deeply appear between the acts to be
weary Of the whole thing, yawning half
a dozen times In succession. The rea-
son for this is physiological and is pro-
vided for by the new theory. When
ones attention Is absorbed much in
anything exciting or touching one
breathes in a shallow manner and
takes into the lungs only half enough
air. Consequently, when ones atten-
tion is relaxed one has to make up the
deficiency.
II you watch man at a play and
observe that he is moved greatly by
some incident you may feel sure that
when the scene ends he will sigh. and
moment or two later yawn repeated
~. OF course. the yawning, so far
from being sign of weariness, is a
proof of the liveliest appreciation. The
most curious thing about yawning is
what scientists tenn sympathy" II,
In crowded room. you notice one per-
son cape in the space of a minute or
two his neighbor will have to put his
hand to his mouth. The yawning may
become epidemic to such an extent that
everyone present in the room will
yawn In turn. The process is interest
ii.e to watch. but 1t is a problem to ex-
plain, and, according to psychologists,
there is no known reason why "sympa-
thy" should effect personal and indi-
vidual action like yawning.

HOW TO WOO SLEEP.
Rules by Which Victims Of Insomnia
May Find Relief.

May Eind Relief.
The immediate cause OF insomnia is
abnormal activity of the brain, which
draws an undue amount OF blood to
that organ. Cold feet usually accom-
pany a heated brain. To re-establish
normal conditions the tension must
be removed and the blood drawn from
the brain to the extremities, thus
equalizing circulation. A scientist who
studies brain flag recommends gym
nastic exercise to precede repose. The
following exercises. each repeated sew
eral times, are recommended: Stand
ing normally, inhale slowly. vigor-
ously stretch the arms out horizon
tally from the shoulders, energizins
them to the finger tips. At the same
time rise on the balls of the feet After
remaining motionless for few mo-
ments, slowly relax the arms, return
to the normal poise and exhale.
Stretch the arms in front of the body
and repeat the exercise; also stretch
them directly upward and repeat.
Unite the three movements of the
arms, raising them horizontally, for
ward and upward. rising on the balls
Of the feet, inhaling and exhaling as
before. Next stand with the weight on
one foot. Extend the other long step
diagonally forward. touching the toe
to the ground. Partially transfer the
weight to the forward foot. at the same
time bend the knee as much as possi-
BILE and raise the heel high from the
ground, keeping the whole of the back
foot on the ground until this position
of the bent knee and the raised heel
of the forward leg is firmly taken.
Then gradually pull all but the toe of
the back foot from the ground. while
pressing down forcibly. as II overcom-
ing strong resistance, with the for
ward leg. The forward knee straight
ems. the whole foot comes to the
ground and the weight is transferred
to the forward leg during the move
ment. Slowly transfer the weight to
the back leg. forcibly pushing that
foot to the ground as the heel of the
forward foot rises. II sufficient force
is exerted in pressing the feet to the
ground. after five minutes practice
they will glow and tingle. That the
extremities be warm is a necessary
condition for slumber. Lying In an
easy position, first realize that you are
now safe in bed, free from care and
ready for refreshing sleep. Then slow
ly raise the arms as high as possible,
the hands relaxed. More slowly still
lower the arms, letting the fingers
touch the covering first. then the hand,
| the forearm, and last the nerve force
| Is released from the shoulder and the
whole arm is at rest. Accompany the
exercise with deep, slow respiration.
Repeat this several times, more slowly
each time. The exercises sound
lengthy and tedious. They prove to be
neither when tried Many people are
troubled with wakefulness in tho night
after short sleep 1t requires deter
mination to rise and take exercise, al
though that is the only way in which
some persons can obtain relief.-Lon-
don Mail.
