Getting Out of Bed.

From Medical Talk.
Don't jump UP the first thing your eyes
are open. Remember that while you sleep
the vital organs are at rest. The vitality
is lowered and the circulation not so
strong A sudden spring out of bed is a
shock to these organs, especially to the
heart as it starts to pumping the blood
suddenly.
Take your time in getting up. Yawn and
stretch Wake up slowly. Give the vital
organs chance to resume their work grad
ually.
Notice how baby wakes UP. 1t stretches
its arms and legs. rubs its eyes and yawns
and wakes up slowly. Watch kitten wake
up First it stretches out one leg, then
another. rubs it's face. rolls over and
stretches the whole body. The birds do not
wake up and fly as soon as their eyes are
open: they shake out their wings and
stretch their legs, waking up slowly. This
is the natural way to wake up. Don't jump
I'D suddenly. don't be in such a hurry, but
stretch and yawn and yawn and stretch.
Stretch the arms and the legs; stretch the
whole body. A good yawn and stretch is
better even than a cold bath. 1t will set
you thoroughly awake. and then you will
enjoy the bath all the more.

FUNGI FOR FOOD.
The English Public Discovers That
Puff Balls Are Good.
From the New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune.
According to current dispatches, an emf
nent British physician announces that IAN
entirely new sensation can be obtained
by eating fuss balls. or puff balls. Shades
of William Hamilton Gibson! Why, that
fungus has been a well-accepted article of
food with the elect for a score of years.
The new sensation promised to the
jaded palates of British gourmands is an
old thing here though none the worse for
being old. Our British brethren are to be
congratulated, not on a new discovery, but
upon their belated acceptance of a good
Yankee discovery made many a year ago
among the New England hills.
Nevertheless, the British physician in
question is entitled to gratitude for calling
public attention to the matter, and 1t is
to be wished that in some way a wider
practical interest might be aroused in it in
this country. At present only two kinds
of fungo are much eaten, and they, because
of their market cost, are chiefly reserved
for epicures One of them, the mushroom,
ought to be as common and as cheap as po-
tatoeS, and there are many other fungi
equally desirable for food which ought to
be upon the tables of all. There are few
articles of food at once so delicious to the
taste, so gra teful to the digestive organs
and SO nourishing and strengthening to the
body as fungi, and there are few that can
be produced more cheaply. 1t is deplor-
able that so important a food supply should
be so neglected.
People are perhaps prejudced against
fungo by occasional cases of "toadstool'
poisoning, and they have pretty general
superstition that all fungi save truffles and
mushrooms are noXious. The latter notion
is widely mistaken. The fact is that among
the many common spicies of fungi there are
only few poisonous ones. and they are
readily stinguishable by persons of intel
ligence. William Hamilton Gibson used to
knock fungus growths from stumps and
decaying logs and cook them into some
thing as savory as terrapin and more nu-
tritious than beefsteak. What he did and
what some others are doing, all might do.
A little instruction and a little discretion
are all that is needed to make every wood
land a larder and every old pasture copi-
Gus producer of choice food.

Vedic Wedding in Baluchistan.


From the Lahore Tribune
A unique marriage, unknown in the an
nails of Sibi, Baluchistan. was celebrated in
the premises of the local girls school at I
o'clock in the evening. 1t was fully attend
ed by the cream of the Sibi town, most of
the government officials and also by a few
ladies' The bridegroom, Lala sobha Ram.
a postman of the Sibi post Office. was mar
ried to a girl twelve years old. brought
down from the Walsh orphanage at Meerut.
The ceremony was performed strictly in ac-
cordance with the Vedric rites. which was
generally appreciated on account of being
the simplest and least expensive. Pandit
Nand Lal second master of the local
Barnes school and good Sanskrit scholar,
assisted by PIT. Devi Chand of the post
office. Sibi officiated minister on the oc-
casion. He discharged his duty to the entire
satisfaction of all present.
Lala Ram Rakha Nal, the postmaster
Sibi. acted as godfather Of the bride, and
La1a Milkha Ram, the treasurer. as that
of the bridegroom. Both of the gentlemen
spared no pains to make the function quite
a success. Lala Ram Rakha Nal deserves
the highest credit and the best thanks of
the Sibi people for the great moral courage
shown by him in his publicly and willingly
offering to give away, as required by the
Hindoo ShaStraS, the hand of an orphan
girl, which no man could, in similar case.

much hesitation. The thanks of the Sibi

Must Be Looked Into,

Would that fashions requirements for
girls could be dismissed with as few words.
But as the chief need is for constant novel
ty, one must go on forever. like the purling
brook, chroncing the vagaries of the dame
herself and the fads of all her daughters.
To the college and boarding school maid
the world is indebted to the fixing of
many dainty trifles upon its mind, trfles
which would be lost in the maelstrom of
styles, but which their youthful enthusi-
asms seize upon and exploit with their
usual ardor. In this way the bangle brace
let with its enameled pendant is again in
vogue, the black taffeta har-bow has come
to be necessity, and ribbons are again to
the front.
Some charming going out frocks for maids
of sixteen and eighteen display Eton coats

with satin in a matching tint, and girdie

Street suits are frequently cut to display
these gay details, which CLEAN between the
fronts and under the bottoms of short coats
that reveal the looseness and fancy sleeves
of the moment. Cape collars with stole
ends, rich with braid, embroidery gimp
of some sort, embellish the necks of the
coats, and under many a loose sleeve wash

Using Magenta.
Close to the face magenta is unbecoming,
it must be admitted. Only the most fault
less blonde or the palest brunette may wear
it thus, and, knowing this. the French use
all sorts of articles to get in the magenta
touch, employing on the bodice only such
bits as will be nowhere near the face. On
hats the velvet crown may be magenta, but

In all the millinery world feathered orna-
mentS are enormously used, and If the con-
science is awakened by them the eye is fain
to admit them very pretty. A number of
ready-to-wear hats for school girls are on
the jaunty Tam order, with velvet and quill
trimmings. Numbers of shapes in felt and
fancy braids are seen with the side brms
tied across the crowns. and the great. fiat

their trimmings somewhat With a very

Eat Apples at Night.

Everybody ought to know, says the fam
lily DOCTOR that the very best thing they can
do is to eat apples just before retiring for
the night. No harm can come even to
delicate system by the eating of ripe and
juicy apples before going to bed The apple
is excellent brain food, because it has more
phosphoric acid in easily digested shape
than any other fruits. 1t excites the action
of the liver, promotes sound and healthy
sleep and thoroughly disinfects the mouth.
This is not all. The apple prevents indiges-
ton and throat diseases.
