you please and work your brain then.
But you are safest, if after 5 in the
afternoon, you give it no hard work
to do.
Do not work this poor old brain,
which has stood by you so loyalty
since you got out OF bed in the morn
ing until late at night.
Remember what your bed is for and
why you are in it.
You arc there to sleep, not to add
up figures in your head. Not to lay
plans for tomorrow.
ii you have been working the
poor old brain too late, or If you
have eaten WEIGH rarebit just be-
fore undressing, and if your head
burns so that it almost sets the pill
low on fire, crawl out OF bed and
sponge your head with cold water.
1t this fails; battle your feet in as
hot water as they will bear.
You want to draw away the extra
blood from the brain.
In natural sleep there is less blood
ON your brain than when you are
awake.
"Was Eve more to blame than
Adam? II we are to credit the aver
age pulpit speaker she was. But was
she? We think not? On the con-
trary, we think Adam the more Gull
pable. Why did not the devil tackle
Adam? Certainly it was not because
he considered his armor invulnerable
His history from that day down to
the present proves not only that he
vas weak in yielding to temptation,
but inclined to meot the tempter at
least half way. When the devil de-
sires recruits from the race of Adams
sons, all he has to do is to set his
trap and bait it with a dime or a
glass Of whskey or piece OF calico
and he has man. Then why if man
is such an easy proposition, did he
tackle the woman? Simply for the
reason if he had tempted and cap
tured man he would have had the
woman against him. She would have
sa d to Adam, If you think more OF
satan than you do of me you can go
to the DEVIL and there would lave
been trouble in the family at once
and possibly divorce and alimony
proceedings. But once having cap
turod woman satan was good
enough judge OF human nature to
know that the man would follow the
woman out of paradise down to the
very portals of his satanic dominions."
There lives near Unionville, in
Orange county, one OF the most
unique characters of this country.
His name is II. J. Richardson, and
his age is 80. He is in perfect
health, never misses a court in his
county, has drank liquor and used
tobacco since he was II years old, and
when it was suggested that if lie had
not done SO he would live to be 100,
his reply was:
II would have been dead thirty
years ago"
This man has participated in three
