Bedrooms have now been invaded by
the rampant reformer, says the Lady.
The orthodox fashion in making up the
beds so as to gently slope toward the
feet, and having a good sized pillow or
two under the head Is all wrong. A
prominent German doctor is RESPONSE
BILE for this statement He asserts that
after long series Of experiments he
has proved conclusively that to sleep
In bed prepared In the old fashioned
way Is simply TO induce ailments of all
kinds. He advocates a complete re-
versal of things. You must sleep with
your head lower than your feet. Two
or three pillows should be placed under
the feet in order to carry out this the
ory. The result he claims, will be
amazing, being sure cure for insom-
MIA as well as a preventive of night
mare. Sleep in this position, 1t is as
serted, will be more profound, the en-
tire nervous system will be improved,
and people inclined to lung and kidney
troubles will be speedily benefited.

The Bright Side.

Laughter is good, healthy, muscle
making, lung developing exercise, and
1t is as good for girls as boys. Humor
can be cultivated In a girls mind with
out any abatement of the dignity and
modesty and charm Of her womanhood.
Not the unpleasant and constant frivol-
ity evidenced in smart speech or
quickness of repartee, but the humor
that looks at the world with a twinkle
in the eye and sees its absurdites, its
smallness and its fun.
1t should be a part Of every woman's
mental equipment, for women are call
ed upon to bear so many of life's small
worries as well as its greater ones.
The bringing up of children, the care
of servants and the many social duties
that become a burden are all made
easy and possible to put up with by
the woman with an unfailing sense Of
the bright side of life.

A very ingenious poison label for
medicine bottles is small scarlet skull
with long pin attachment to stick
deep into the cork. One of these or
something similar should be firmly
fastened to every bottle in the medi-
cine chest or closet shelf whose con-
tents are not for internal application.
There will always be careless members
of the household who walk into dark
room and grope for medicines, and a
goodly proportion of these will come to
grief sooner or later.

One of the greatest pugilists that
America ever produced, John Dwyer
of Brooklyn, quit his regular occupa-
ton to enter the counting room. He
died within year from tuberculosis.
The explanation In this case was sim
pie enough. The immense lungs which
were necessarily an advantage In the
prize ring fell into disuse In the count
ing room. Disuse meant degeneration,
and degeneration meant lack Of re-
sistance, of which tubercle bacillus
was not slow to take advantage.

0Whuppity Scoorie."

The ancient custom at Lanark, Scot
land, of "Whuppity Scoorie," the origin
and meaning of which are lost, is cele-
brated annually and watched by a
crowd of grown ups. The town bell Is
rung nightly at @ o'clock from March
to September and then lies dumb for
six months. On the first night Of the
ringing all the young folk congregate
at the cross, and after parading three
times round the parish church the La
mark lads meet the New Lanark boys
In a free fight, in which the only legit-
innate weapons are their caps tied at
the end of pieces of string.

ALL OUT OF CUBA NOW.
Last of American Troops With
drawn October IL.

There are no American troops in
Cuba now. The last of them left Ha-
yana on October II, and arrived in
Portland, Me-, Saturday. The gener-
al impression was that all of the
American troops left when Gen. Wood
did, namely, on May 20, 1902. AS a
matter of fact, few remained to see
that order was maintained in the Is
land. It was thought that perhaps
there might be trouble under the new
government, and that the presence of
American troops in Havana would
tend to prevent disturbances of the
peace.
There seems to be ground for saving
that the masses of the Cubans have
very little love for Americans, not
withstanding the assistance Americans
gave them in Kidding themselves of
the yoke of Spain.
