The position affects sleep. A con-
strained position generally prevents re
pose. while a comfortable one wooes
sleep Lying fiat on the back. with the
limbs relaxed, would seem to secure the
greatest amount of rest for the muscu-
lar system. This is the position assumed
i'll the most cNhausting diseases, and it
is generally hailed as token of revival
when Il patient voluntarily turns ON the
side. But there are several disadvan-
taxes in the supine posture which i'm
pair or embarrass sleep. Thus in disor-
dered conditions of the stomach the
blood seems TO gravitate TO the back of
the head and to produce troublesome
dreams.
Nearly all who are inclined to snore
do so when living on the back, because
the soft palate and uvula hang ON the
tongue, and that organ falls back so as
partly to close the top of the wind
pipe. 1t is better. therefore, to lie on
the side, and, in the absence of special
disease rendering it desirable to lie on
the weak side so rs to leave the healthy
lung free to expand, it is well to use the
right side, because when the body is
thus placed the food gravitates more
easily out of the stomach, and the
weight of the stomach does not com

Of death there are scenes Of tragic in

which set the whole world trembling
nearly forty years ago. She sees a
man in the full tide Of power; a mas

fiery impetuosity the hearts Of his fol-
lowers. He speaks like one inspired,
and his face Cbrow Swallowed and thin
at chin is illumined into beauty. She
is his other self. Her heart beats with
his; responds to his ambitions. She
sees him installed as president Of the
Confederate States; she receives the
congratulations and homage Of the
counterfeit Of a nation, and lives again
the awful day Of a nations wrath.
The overthrow and flight under the
guns Of Wilson's cavalry return to
her memory now. She sees the tram
pied LEAKAGE, the bullet-plowed land
as they press TOWARD the foaming
yellow river. She almost breathes
again the piny, smoky fragrance OF the
air. She remembers how the thought
came to her to disguise her husband

with tears. Her arms chung around his
neck, leaving her long cloak on his
shoulders. 1t had brought him shame
and ridicule. 1t had hurt his soldier
