sleep for Children.

In Sweden, committee was recent
~ appointed by the government for
the purpose Of ascertaining how
many Lours children of various ages
ought to sleep in order that they
may be able to study properly. Ac-
cording to the report forwarded to
the minister of education, children
who are four years old should sleep
IL hours; children who are seven
years old, II hours; children who are
nine years old, ten hours; children
who are from IL to Ia years old, from
nine to ten hours, and those who are
from II to 81 years old, from nine to
ten hours, 1t further points out that
anaemia and weakness in children
are frequently due to lack of sleep.

WHY AMERICANS STAY ABROAD
xot So Much for Sightseeing and
Historical Interest as for Eco-
nomfca1 Living.

What charm, one asks ones self in
wonder, makes people remain for long
years wandering firesideless from Cairo
to Cornhill? 1t cannot be the climate,
for our own is quite as good. His
torical associations, we are assured,
compensate many OF those people for
the absence of kith and kin. Expert
ence, however, has taught me that the
majority of them are as splendidly in
different to history and art, too, for
the matter of that, unless as it rs APP
piled to the decoration of the human
form-as they are to the Rosetta
stone, Writes Eliot Gregory, on ''Roli-
ing Stones in Century.
The families that one finds residing
IN Italy, for instance, long since aban-
domed such foolishness as sightseeing
That useless fatigue is left to the
newcomers; the habitues have met
no more dream of visiting the vati-
can galleries or Of reading in the Ii
brary of Lorenzo the Magnificent than
they do of settling down seriously to
study Italian.
One hears, especially in the less ex-
pensive little cities, some twaddle about
culture; but you may take my word
for it, in nine cases out of ten, the real
attraction of the place lies in the fact
that victoria can be had for $50 a
month and good cook for one-tenth

Giant Trees Near London.

There are still to be found, even

She places several cells about an inch
long side by side or on tiers above an
other without any regard to regular
