A Queer Iibrnry,

A curious collection OF books Is con-
tanned in the library of Warstentein,
near Cassel, in Germany. The books
appear at first sight to be logs of wood,
but each volume is really a complete
history Of the tree it represents. The
back shows the bark, in which a small
place is cut to write the scientific and
common name as a title. One side
shows the tree trunk in its natural
state. and the other Is polished and
vanished. Inside are shown the leaves,
fruit, fiber and insect parasites, to
which Is added a full description of the
tree and its products.

1t Is said that Caesar chose his gen.

Nobody living outside New York
knows how difficult it has become in
that city for people of moderate means
TO bring mp their children In the love
OF genusne things. 1t is still done by
many. but with increasing effort and
only by dlnt of q strong will and an
inheritance of the truest graces of
1ife - simplicity. the domestic affec-
lions and the love of nature and ones
kind. 1t is to the cultivation of these
graces that we must look for a rescue
from the artiiciaiity and the ynlgari-
ty Of the pitiabie circle IN every Amer
lean city known as "the smart set."-

AND PRIDE.
THROUGH One Writer'S specfaeies
1hese Two Appear rs Virtues.

4h.ourh One Writer'S spectae1es
Thess Two Appear NJ Virtues.
There il a little Jealousy in all per
sons and especially in all women. 1t
springs from deep love. which always
desires to be frat in the affection OF
the one beloved. A lover, whether man
or maid. who is not susceptible to occa-
sional twinges of jealousy is not truly
In love.
While Jealousy. considered with ref
.erence to its origin, Is not an ignoble
emotion, It Is frequently absurd In its
outbreaks. A father is sometimes up
set with jealousy because he imagines
that his wife loves the children more
than she loves him Mothers are fire.
quently Jealous of the husbands or
wives OF their daughters or sons. Wives
become Jealous Of the sisters or moth
crs Of their husbands. No one Is I'M
mune against the little green bacilli of
Jealousy.
Generally the tears or frowns OF
jealousy are swept away with a few
kind words and a caress, but there are
some unhappy persons whose jealousy
10 chronic and who make themselves
ridicxsous and annoying by their fits
and storms of jealous passion. The
jealousy of such persons is beyond rea-
son. Indeed, 1t Is a form Of deInepfia
which begets every sort of violence.
Pride is the strongest controller of
jealousy. The ~theologians reckon pride
among the seven deadly sins, but as a
matter OF fact pride is at the bottom of
much Of the virtuous action In the
world. Pride is the root Of most brav-
cry, fortitude, courtesy, m~agnanimity,
humility and industry. Pride is the es-
sential spirit of thorough breeding, and
In spite of being enumerated among
the deadly sins pride is not connected
with kurpitude.-San francisco Bu1le-

Louis Philippe was u wit. What he
specially excelled In was the clinching
of an argument, such as, for instance,
his final remark on the death of Talley-
rand. He had paid him a visit the day
before. When the news of the princes
death was brought to him, he said,
"Are you sure he is deadg" VERY
sure, SIRE" was the answer "Why.
did not your majesty himself notice
yesterday that he vas dying?" 81 did,
but there is no judging from appear

WHILE WE SLEEP.
fhs Muscles and Organs of the Body
Are still Working.

AE0 tAA "OkAAn8
II the organs of the body cannot be
raid to sleep, neither can the voluntary
muscles. Witness the phenomena Of
sleepwalking, the positions In stage
coach days who slept In their saddles
and cavalrymen who do 1t today, In
fantry who have been known to sleep
on forced marches, s~entlnels who walk
their beats carrying their guns In a
fixed position while they sleep. For
all we know policemen may do it too.
People who talk in their sleep are ia
miliar to all of us. Experiments made
by Speir. Armstrong and Child on 200
college students of both sexes showed
that AZ per cent of the men and 81
pc cent of the women talked In their
sleep. A number of things might be
proved by these statistics. OF these
sleep takers one-half of the women
answer questions while asleep. More
women than men could answer ques-
tons on any subject, not alone that of
which they had been talking. 1t has
also been found that most sleep talk
ers are under twenty-five years of age.
Evidently, then, with the muscles
and organs of the body all working, it
Ii the brain only that sleeps. and by
no means all of the brain. The senses
of sight. hearing. touch, smell and
taste may be very much awake while
the subject sleeps. A sleeping person
hears and questions, rear
ranges his b~edclothing. covers his eyes
to keep out the light. draws away his
hand when the experimenter tickles 1t.
A child is broken of the habit of suck
ing his thumb while asleep by putting
aloes on it. He Is conscious of the Bit
ter taste and dreams of wormwood.
The nerves, then, and the brain cen
tiers corresponding to them are awake.
A busy lawyer. exhausted by over
work, one night went out to supper
with some friends. ate. talked and
walked with them, and the next day
remembered absolutely nothing of the
occurrence. He had not been drinking.
The man was simply asleep during the
whole evening. His conscious men,
ory-that is. consciousness itself-slept.
