Drive With the Heel.

A golf beginner almost invariably

the club face, he aims at "heeling" it

ly make a better shot. A practiced
golfer unconsciously makes the neces-
sary allowance for the bending of the
driving shaft, but had he known dur.
ing his novitiate why he so often
"struck Scotland" as the caddie re-
marked to Balfour, he would probably
have made more rapid progress.-Frank

THE CRY FOR SLEEP.
slumber Is of Greater Importance to
Life Than Is Food.

Slumber Is of Greater Importance to
Life Than Is Food.
In "Witchery of Sleep" is printed
this: The cry for sleep is ever greater
than the cry for bread. Existence de-
ponds on both, but we eat to sleep,
while we sleep to live. Sleep is Of far
greater Importance than food for the
preservation Of life. Sleep is the chief
est thing in physic. 1t has neither sub
stitute nor rival. Take away sleep
hope even is gone; nothing is left.
Most of the mischievous stories told
about the ability of great men to do
without sleep are untrue, and the fool
ish man who reads hat Napoleon slept
only three or four hours at night and
cuts down his own hours Of sleep
might better open a vein and lose a
quart of blood than lose the sleep
which is life itself. 1t is undoubtedly
true that Napoleon, an inconceivably
foolish, reckless mar in matters af-
fecting his physical welfare, did de-
prive himself Of sleep in his early
years, but he paid for it dearly. In
his last battles his power of resistance
was so slight that he actually went to
sleep during the fighting. Chronic
drowsiness weakened his brain, weak
ened his force of character. The foun-
dalton of his downfall was laid in Rus
STA, when lack Of sleep and unwise liv-
ing generally had taken away his men
tai elasticity, deprived him of all pow
er to form and carry out resolutions
and resulted in his final ruin.

Curious Rent.

At Broughton, neal Brigg, in Lincoln.
shire, England, some lands are held by
the following tenure: every year on
Palm Sunday a person from Broughton
enters the church porch at Caster hay
ing a green silk purse containing 2
shillings and a penny tied up at the
end of a cart whip, which he cracks
three times in the porch and, stays
there until the second lesson begins.
Then he enters the church and cracks
the whip again. finally depositing the
purse and contents"

How to Preserve Leaves. and Plan,

How to Preserve leaves and Plants.
TO preserve leaves and other parts of
plants properly they should be placed
between sheets of blotting paper, and
the papers should be changed once a
day for two or three days. They
should be dried as rapidly as possible
paper each time the change is made.
They should be kept under moderate
pressure at first, and to insure. even
pressing it will be. well to place a stiff
piece Of cardboard or strawboard at
intervals between the sheets. When
the drying appears to be well advanced,
the pressure on the specimens may be
increased. =

The story Of 1risn Pop1in.

The story of Irish poPlin is a curious
one. Lady Carew was to be presented
at the court of Louis Philippe. She
took with her to. Paris Il length Of Irish
poplin. which was then first being
made in Belfast. 1t was Of a creamy
white, embroidered all over with little
dots and sprigs of gold. Lady Carew'
took it to a Partisan dressmaker, and
the modiste went into ecstasies over it.
On her way up the stairs to the re-
ception rooms at the Tuileries Lady
Carew felt a pull at her dress. Afraid
OF ~pickpockets, she turned quickly. II
beg a thousand pardons.'' said a splen.
didly dressed woman who stood behind
her, "but would you tell me what your
dress is made of? l never saw any,
thing so exquisite in my life
A dozen times that evening Lady Ca.
rev had a similar experience, and the
result was n of the most eXtraordi-
nary crazes for poplin that ever was
experienced for any new fabric. One
Irish firm sold f24.O0O worth of the ma.
terial within a year, and three large
Belfast houses are said to have found
ed their present large fortunes on Irish
poplin.

Long People Are Seldom Fat.

Some persons are born with a nor
NAL tendency to become fat, others
with a tendency to leanness. 1t is the
same among the lower animals. The
hog is a sort of machine for transform
ing the odds and ends of food into fat,
but the farmer knows beforehand that
a little pig with long legs and snout
will work off the fat as fast as it can
be made. So a long legged person sell
dom inclines to obesity.

Worth Its Weight In Silver.
In England the first pipes used ap
pear to have been made Of clay, with
narrow bowls and contracted mouths.
Their as the habit grew stronger and
tobacco became cheaper something
more capacious would be required.
These are the pipes which under the
name OF fairy pipes" are sometimes
dug up and preserved as interesting
relics of the past Aubrey, writing
about 1880, says: "The English people

2, GandS year rJao,b

Child's Box-Plaited Dress, No. S941 -
Women who like to dress their little folks
in white find serge a good fabric for gem
eral wear. 1t cleans and washes well and
has sufficient body to stand numerous trips
to the cleaners without showing much
wear.
The dress illustrated is made of white
serge with small blue velvet buttons for
trimming. The machine stitching Is also
done in blue.
The garment is simply adjusted with
shoulder and underarm seams. Broad box
plaits are fatty stitched from shoulder and
neck as far as the belt. back and front.
They retain their plated outline to the
hem. but fare styiishly and give smart
breadth TO the dress at the lower edge.
A narrow belt passes around the waist
and has stylish dip in front. The closing
is made invisibly under the front plat. The
shallow collar fastens at the left side.
The one-piece bishop sleeve fits the upper
arm closely. The fullness at the lower edge
is arranged on a narrow wristband. over
which 1t droops at the back. Several rows
of machine stitching and clusters of small
buttons decorate the piaits.
Dresses in this style may be made or
flannel. cashmere or Henrietta, with velvet
collar belt and wristbands. 1t Is also an
appropriate mode for linen cotton cheviot.
madras, pique or mercerized cotton. with
bands of embroidery and pearl buttons for
trimming.
To make the dress for a child of years
viii, require three and one-quarter yards OF
material thirty inches wide. The pattern.
No. S9i1, is cut in sizes for children of 2, 4,
6 and years.
