THE BEST SLEEP.
1t Is That which One Cannot Avoid
Without Struggle.

When debating the question, How
much sleep is needed? one must keep
in mind that the best sleep, indeed, the
only healthy kind, is that which one
cannot avoid without a struggle. It is
the sleep that always follows OH weari-
ness; it is not that which is obtained
by difficulty. If person slept for three
hours right away and then awoke re-,
freshed-that is, with no further IN
clination to sleep-he would not then
be in need Of it. His proper course
would be to arise and engage In work.
But he must be prepared to sleep at
any time in the day when the longing
occurs. To the latter rule there is one
exception. Let us suppose that one
has acquired the habit Of sleeping half
the night and lying half awake during
the remaining half. Such a habit can
be best broken by rising after the first
sleep and refraining from a nap in the
day. When the bed hour arrives the
chances are that the victim of insom-
MIA will be SO sleep hungry that he
will not wake until the proper hour for
rising.
In any case it is a great mistake to
turn over on the other side and remain
in a half CONSCIOUS state. Indeed, it is
a more serious mistake than many
would believe, says Home Notes. The
brain is now in peculiar state, more
closely resembling the hypnotic than
would be possible under any other nor
NAL conditions. Quite lot might be
written about the peculiar dangers and
powers Of this half waking state

CC7PERPI-ATE ENGRAVING
The Art Was Discovered Through the
Merest Accident.

The Art Was Discovered Through the
aerest Accident.
Every one his noticed on bis visiting
card the extremely delicate lines OF
his name, and almost every one knows
that they are produced by printing
from an engraved copperplate. Like
many other things of use and beauty,
this art Of copperplate engraving was
discovered through the merest accident
by the golds1niths of Florence IN the
fifteenth century. 1t is historical
fact, however, that one day an engrav-
er on gold, wishing to take. a proof Of
his. work, made the usual sulphur cast
and then filled up the lines with lamp
black thus enabling him to see exactly
how his work looked. While occupied
in doing this it occurred to him that
possibly the same results could be OBJ
tanned by filling up the original en-
craving with lampblack instead OF
making an impression of it and filing
up that. Struck with the idea, he put
it into practical use, and with a little
damp paper succeeded ii getting fair
impression from the engraving.
The discovery was communicated to
other workers in the art, and they
hailed it with JOY, as it saved all the
arduous trouble of making sulphur
casts, but they never saw the full value
Of the discovery, and consequently the
art Of plate engraving lay for almost
a century before it's true Import was
discovered and brought out in all its
great and beautiful results. Today COT
lectors Of plate engravings rave over
the crude results of earlier times and
search the world for examples of these
early masters to add to their collec-
tons. Many of these collections have
been presented to museums, where
they may be seen and appreciated by
the people.

A New One lis Grown Before the Old
One is Cast or.
Odd as it may sound to say so, the
lobster grows before, not after, he
casts his old hard shell--that is to say,
he makes new cells and tissues, which
are not at once filed out but which
are intended to swell to their full di-
mansions as soon as he has got rid Of
his binding and combining external skel-
eleton. When the critical moment at
last arrives new soft shell grows en-
tire within the older and harder one.
and the animal then withdraws him

swimmeret by swimmeret out of the
enveloping coat Of mail which covers
him. The shedding Of the old coat is
complete and absolute Not a frag-
ment remains Even the apparently In
ternal hard portions are cast off with
the rest, for the entire covering forms
one cintinuous piece, the interior por-
tons being really, SO to speak, folds of
the skin inserted inward.
An entirely new skeleton had already
grown within the old one, but exceed
ingly soft and flexible in texture, and
the body becomes SO almost fluid or

Tree Snakes of ROrneo.

The flying frogs Of the Malays ap-
pear to be mythical, but the tree snakes
Of Borneo are credited with taking fly
ing leaps from the boughs of trees to
the ground. 1t is found that scales on
the lower part Of the body may be
drawn inward so that the whole lower
surface becomes concave. The resist
ance to the air is thus greatly in
creased and experiments Indicate that
the snakes do not fall in writing coils,
but are let down gently in direct line
by the parachute-like action Of their
peculiar bodies.

Telling Age and Sex by Pulse.

''The female pulse always beats fast
er than the male" said a physician,
and from birth to death the pulse
speed steadily decreases have no
doubt that by the pulse alone could
tell readily a healthy persons age and
sex. Babes at birth have a pulse that
beats 100 times a minute in the case Of
girls and $50 times minute in the
case Of boys. At the age of four or
five the pulse beats will have fallen re-
spectively to 10 and 100 Maidens'
and youths pulses average ninety-five
and ninety; mature women's and mems
average eighty and seventy-fve; elder
ly women's and mems average sixty
and fifty. An old woman's pulse rare

old men a pulse under fifty is fairly

Cana1ss and Roads In France

It IS curious that the French, who
have done more than most nations to
cultivate the graces Of life, should be
the people to boast the most perfect
system Of canals and roads in the
world; more curious still that, when
most practical, they are still careful
not to sacrifice the purely graceful or
decorative. The roads and canals are
built for use, but between their serried
ranks Of poplars they become so many
stately groves and avenues, crossing
the country from end to end. Century.

The cravat was once the name of a
great military nation, the Croats, or
CraVates, Of the Balkans. It was their
fashion to wrap large shawls or pieces
Of cloth around their necks and shout

Louis XIV. he uniformed several regi-
ments in the Croat fashion, with huge
shaWls about their necks. The fashion
took, ard the shawl diminished in size

THE RESTLESS MORO.

He Is Never Happy Unless on a Ma

The Moro is brave to fearlessness, a
born pirate and essentially first class
fighting man. He is never happy I'M
less on marauding expedition and
stealing from his neighbors, friends
and foes alike. The chief who is the
most successful thief is the most re-
spected and the most powerful among
chiefs.
The Moro trades with his neighbors
on market days in the various coins
of the realm and foreign moneys. At
other times he is a free ocean rover,
extending his trading voyages as far
north as the islands of Negros and
Panay, south to the Celebes and Bor-
neo and westerly to the Palawan. He

no more drown than can a fish. There
is no record of drowned Moro. He
can dive to the bottom of the sea at
depths of from twenty-five to a hum
