POSITION IN SLEEP.
Night Habits That Assert Their DO
minfon over All Mankind.


minion over All Mankind.
There are few persons who can tell
offhand just what positions they as
sumo to invite sleep, and yet there Is
not an individual in the world who has
not some trick of distributing limbs
and trunk to insure slumber's blissful
spell which he practices unconscious
ly. This is night habit as perpetual
and immutable under normal condi-
tions as the succession of the seasons
No sooner are we really off to the land
of nod than the night habit asserts its
dominion. Our hands and arms seel,
the same parts of the bed or the same
portions of our bodies upon which they
have nightly rested since infancy. Our
feet and legs stretch at the same an
giles or loosely intwine in comfortable
relaxation, as commanded by uncon-
Rcious will.
1t is seldom of our own deliberate
volition that we place our bodies in
position for sleep, as you will find to-
night on going to bed If you remember
these words. In truth, IL you 90 not
seek to combat the instincts you will
be surprised at the dispositions of the
various members involuntarily made.
If you endeavor to sleep by a new ar
rangement of the body, you will also
be surprised by. the revolt against
slumber which will surely ensue, but
even before the struggle is well begun
you will probably surrrnder and per-
NIT the all mast2rful night habit to re-
instate those little details of position
which long practice has made neces-
sary to your comfort. Family Doctor.

Folks Who Would Rather See ana
he Seen Than Eat.
"That woman will make kick be-
fore ner order is filed" said head
waiter at an uptown restaurant one
evening, pointing to well dressed wo-
man who sat with an elderly man at
one of the small tables in the palm
garden.
How do you know?" the guest
asked.
WELL you see, she comes here to
rubber and she came too early. The
only way she can fill time is to find
fault with what is being served. We
have lots of customers of that kind.
They dress up in their very best clothes
and come here just before the theater
crowd arrives. They come to see and
to be seen and care mighty little about
what they have to eat.
1T is fun to see the way they kill
time when they come early. An old
trick Is to get table and then say:
we won't order yet. We're waiting
for some one.' Some one never comes,
and finally the order for some raw oys-
ters or salad is given, and If we serve
them quickly the waiter gets small
tip. If the waiter loafs and serves
all the others first, his tip is larger.
They nibble and fuss over their little
luncheon, and the man in the party
usually smokes his cigar to the bitter
end before the rubber party breaks
up. There, told you that woman
would kick. Do you see the club sand
wich going back? 1t is probably too
cold or too hot, but it's neither. 1t is
simply too soon. The rubber guest is
great find for the slow waiter. He
is the only guest who puts premium
ON slow service."-New York Tribune.

Sn1ad Plants.

The chief value and advantage Of
salad plants are derived from their sa-
line matters. In these they are COM
paratively rich, especially in potash
salts. Cooking generally extracts these
from vegetables, and consequently such
vegetables as can be eaten in an un-
cooked state present these unchanged
and in most agreeable form in the
crisp, cool and succulent leaves, which
also serve to introduce large amount
of water into the system.

The coloring Qualities of peppe,

The Coloring Qualities of Pepper.
Canaries when fed with cayenne pep
per gradually change their color, pass
ing from yellow to red. Cayenne pep
per contains a tinctorial substance, an
irritative principle and an oil. When
the last two substances are extracted
by sleeping in alcohol, pepper loses its
coloring properties, but an addition of
olive oil restores them. From this fact
the conclusion is drawn that the oily
principle Of pepper is the necessary
vehicle Of color. Experiments made
with white hens gave similar results.
These hens have also the quality of be-
ing able to indicate changes Of tenn
perature by a marked change Of plum
age. The yolk of their egg is bright
