VALUE OF SLEEP.
1t Is OF Utmost Importance to Preserve
Good Looks.

1t Is of Utmost Importance to Preserve
Good Looks.
Sleep, the rest which holds the eye
lids down, is Of the utmost Importance
In good looks. There is no means, aid
or condition so productive or preserv-
ing Of pleasing appearance as proper
and sufficient sleep Nothing will pro-
mote brightness and vivacity like this
death-like rest which nature demands
once every twenty-four hours. This
fact Is ignored by many Of the most
intelligent men and women. They
know 1t, but they don't seem to know
1t well enough. Every walk in life
seems too full-there is so much to do
the world is too much with u.s."
there does not seem time enough to
sleep, says Health Culture. When
halt is called and we are forced to
learn that we can accomplish much
more by reason of stronger
nerves, granted by the proper amount
Of sleep we are on the way to success
full accomplishment OF our hearts de-
sires. Our cities are flied with tired
eyes and faded compilations from lack
Of sleep. Our country places offer
tired countenances from overwork.
Society women consume their evenings
IN social affairs and their days in the
duties incumbent upon their position
and wonder why they fade. The farm
er's wife works all day and half the
night, arising in the morning unrested
and unrefreshed, and wonders why
she ages faster than her husband
whose work is done at dark Youthful
strength and comely appearance are
absolutely dependent upon sufficient
sleep. The woman who will consider
this fact as positive will give the sub
ject of sleep as much attention as she
will that of diet or dress, or any other
requirement Of existence. Those who
have been neglectful Of this important
function should arouse in themselves
first a determination to grant sufil-
cient time from pleasure or duty for
its full need. Then go to bed with the
intention of sleeping-make your prep
arations by removing every garment
worn through the day, putting on a
loose single garment which has com
fort for its recommendation. Do not |
sleep on feathers. This style Of bed Is
a remnant OF ignorance cotton Of
wool mattress is good bed. Have
your pillow Just high enough to raise
the head little above the level Of the
body and place the pillow under the
head-not under the shoulders. Sleep
between two sheets and under light |
but warm covering. Do not place your
bed directly in draft, but be sure to /
have an open window in your room:
night air is only fresh air and It is
during sleep as at any other
time.

We had just entered range Of sand
hills, which characterize the Dismal
River country, when we were attract.
ed by the strange antics of a bunch Of
elk. They were cows, calves and spike
bulls. When we first saw them they
were huddled together in round
bunch and seemed milling" about like
cattle ut n roundup. As we stood
looking at them they broke into Il
run, going 100 yards or so, ANA then
stopped and knotted up again
At first we could not make out what
the matter was, but ON going closer
to them saw they were being har-
rassed by n couple of buffalo wolves.
The elk would bunch up. with the.
cows aud Young bulls on the outside,
heads cut, calves in the centre, the.
wolves circling round the outside and
trying to break UP and scatter the.
herd so they could single out a calf.
The wolves charged again and again,
but for long time the elk stood firm,
we lying on an adjacent hill and
watching the sport. AT last the wolves
withdrew and seemed to give it up.
At this the elk broke into a run again.
AS soon as their organization was
broken the wolves returned to the
charge, and this time succeeded in
cutting out n twO-year-old heifer. As.
soon as the heifer was separated from
the bunch her fate was sealed as the
wolves kept between her and the rest
until they were well out Of the way,
and then closed with her. One Of the
wolves seized her by the ham. and in
nm instant she was down, with ham
string severed. The other wolf then
sprang at the throat, and the jugulaI@
vein was cut as quickly rs it could
be done with a knife-Foresr and

The Industrial rehabilitation of Cuba
is strikingly illustrated by the fact
that the exhibits made by her people
at the Paris Exposition have won
no fewer than 147 prizes, states the
New York Mail and Express. In view
Of the chaotic conditions which have
prevailed in Cuba since the close Of
the war and the extreme difficulty
Of preparing anything like a represent
atiye display Of the islands products,
this record is altogether remarkable.
The moral effect OF an undertaking
so thoroughly creditable will be emf.
nently wholesome to Cuba trade and
Industry i means that Cuba's trying
days are ended; that her material re-.
sources are responding to the touch
Of enterprise, and that she has en-.
tered upon new era Of civil and com.
mcrcial progress.

Nearly every detail is completed with
respect to the formation Of her Maies-
TVS regiment of Irish guards. The bat.
TALON exists at present only on paper;
but when the approval Of the Queen
has been received for the propositions
made with regard to uniform and
badges, it will at once come into exist
ence in considerable strength. The
regiment will form at St. Johns Wood
Barracks as soon as the necessary or.
ders are issued. 1t is decided, and on
ly her Maiesty's approval is required
TO give effect to the proposals of the
War Office, that the uniform of the
new regiment shall be the same rs
that of the existing guards, with some
distinctive variations. The buttons on
the tunic will be arranged in fours,
and there will be four buttons on the
sleeves and the skirts of the tunic The
design on the buttons will be that Of
n harp and crown. The collar badge
is to be a shamrock but 1t Is not yet
settled whether there shall be on the
shoulder-strap a shamrock or the star
OF st. Patrick. The forage-cap Will be
either Il green band or a green piping,
with the star of ST. Patrick in front,
and the plume in the bearskin will be
of st. Patrick blue. There have been
many applications from suitable re.
cruts to join the new regiment, but
till these details Of uniform have been
approved by the Queen It has not been
found possible to enlist them.-London

Cereal Company Deal the
First Step
In Gigantic Investment Of Eng
Iish Capital.
Startling Statement Made by Lon
don Financier.

uUI TtilduCicis
London, Oct. g. (Spl) behind the
proposed purchase of the American
Cereal Co. by syndicate of British
capitalists there is the declared inten-
ton of securing, by means of British
Gold, the control of every great indus
trial corporation in the United States.
In the opinion of the London finan-
ciers who seek to buy the cereal com
pany, the time has arrived when Eng
lish money can be invested with profit
in American industrial stocks, as well
as in the railways and mines. They in
tend to make an oatmeal trust the ba.
sis of the first operations in the de-
velopment of their idea.
The syndicate desirous Of acquiring
the cereal property is headed by
Venture corporation, limited, Cha
wick e. Co., limited, bankers.
Sydney A. Bird, managing director
of the syndicate, said last night:
British capital has always been avail
able for American industrial enterpris-
es, but full confidence in their stabil-
ity has been a matter of recent growth.
We have chosen the cereal company to
begin with, on account of it's known
solidity and international reputation.
AS soon as the British public has had
experience with its dividend capacity,
we intend giving them a chance to in
vest In other American manufacturing
properties. Mr.. o. C. Barber, presi-
dent of the Diamond Match Co., who
is also a heavy stockh9lder in the ce.
real company. has our authority to
buy up the controlling interest in the
corporation. We expect that the cap
| ital necessary to accomplish this will
approximate $S,000,O00. which. will
come exclusively from British sources.
