WOMEN MUST SLEEP.
Avoid Nervous Prostration.

If you are dangerously sick what is,
the first duty of your physician? He
quiets the nervous system, he deadans
the pain, and you sleep well.
Friends ask, "what is the cause ?"'
and the answer comes in plying
tones, nervous prostration. 1t came
upon you SO quietly in the beginning,
that you were not alarmed, and when
sleep deserted you night after night
until your eyes fairly burned in the
darkness, then you tossed in nervous
agony praying for sleep.

Storage of Flood Water.

At the annual congress of the sani- tary institute at Southampton Prof. Henry Robinson said the better con seryation of the rainfall was of na- tional importance, since the water available for the requirements of the people did not increase with the popu- lation. Every year struggle arose for watersheds, whence the supply for large towns could be obtained, while village populations had too often to depend upon shallow wells, which were liable to pollution. Flood waters should be stored, so as to render the flow of rivers more equable, and the excess water which now caused dam age by floods would be available for domestic supply, irrigation, and im- proving navigation in rivers and canals.

How Paul Kruger Got ReIieion.

Paul Kruger Is now one Of the most religious of men. He was brought up in a pious Dutch family and was never a bad boy. but it is said that thirty years ago. when Kruger was a young married man, he "got religion in q most striking and characteristic way. One day he handed an open Bible to his wife and asked her to read several chapters which he had marked While she was reading he left the house. For several days he was missing and finally a party of friends went out to look for him. They came back without trace of the missing man, only reporting that they had heard some one singing far off on the mountains. A day or two later another searching party went out. This time they found Kruger in a con- dition of almost complete exhaustion, having gone entirely without food or water during his absence. He had gone up into the hills to wrestle with him- self in prayer

Secret Drawers in Furniture.

Most people seem to think" said a maker of furniture, that secret draw CTS and hidden receptacles in Furniture only exist in novels and plays, but this is by no means so. very fre- quently take orders for such items and < employ a clever woman designer, who shows positive genius in planning places of concealment which no amount of tapping or measuring could reveal. In most cases even were the hollow receptacle discovered the wood work around would have to be cut away, so complex are the fastenings. Most of the orders come from women --and rich people of course-and l have no doubt that a desire to hide articles from too curious servants die tates the orders.
