time or another in his life and when
he is, the most wonderful thing about
it is the appalling number of remedies
that are suggested to him,
The last resort in such cases is to
drugs, and it should never be taken
except on the advice Of a physician,
and only then when it is case of life
or death. Opiates will produce sleep, but
it is not a healthy sleep, and the re-
suits may be far more disastrous than
those Of insomnia. Nerve-quieting
drugs are usually dangerous. forming
habits hard to break.
A Philadelphia paper had q SYM
postum on this subject lately, and in
1t vast variety of cures were aired,
some reasonable. some ridiculous, some
that would fit some people and others
that would fit nobody. One suggestion
was that the sufferer stand in a bath
tub half full of very warm water for
ten minutes, then dry the feet thor
! oughly and go to bed and sleep. This
cure will probably be found as effective
as any, and much more effective than
most. 1t is thoroughly harmless, and
should tend to draw the blood out Of
the head, where its congestion has
probably caused the sleeplessness.
Sleep is good deal of habit, and
many people have lost their power to
restore themselves by wholesome sleep
because of their irregular hours. If
people lose tho habit in this manner,
it ought to follow that they can Gull
| tivate it by going to bed at regular
hours, throwing disturbing thoughts
out of their mind and resting as COM
fortably as possible without thought
of deliberately going to sleep. People
often worry themselves into sleepless-
ness by fretting because they do not
go to sleep promptly. Complete re-
taxation and a turning of thoughts into
light and pleasant channels should
WOO sleep more effecturally than an
ocean OF drugs or a library full of
remedies

Housekeeping a Profession.

Housekeeping ranks among the pro-
fessions as truly as any other occupa-
ton. 1t is more than trade, since
one who works at trade performs
each day the task assigned, the work
being planned and directed by another.
Thus little of the workers energy is
expected in deciding his activities.
1t is the director who must possess
and exercise the power to guide,
his work being to initiate, plan and
direct. This requires larger capacity
and ability than is required Of one
who merely practices trade.
1t is the work of the housewife to
initiate, plan, and direct the business
Of the house. The woman who con-
siders this work as the opportunity
to assist in sharing the responsibilities
Of the wage-earner and in developing
the powers OF those making up the
family has grasped the truth concern
ing the possibilities Of her work.
There should be no more question
as to the neel Of education and train
ing for the woman who selects the
food, clothing and works of art which
minister to the highest welfare of a
family than there is for the need of
study on the part of the farmer the
manufacturer, or the artist who pro-
duces them.
Everywhere training is showing its
benefits in the great efficiency and
skill of those who take advantage of
it. Women will never be able to
spend money 80 as to bring adequate
results until they have in some way
acquired broad training in the esti-
nation of values. The word of the
salesman is a poor guide, yet one who
has had no training to aid her is UNI
able to select for herself any more
! satisfactorily. Houses which are
turned over to experts are usually
striking witnesses of abundant expend-
iture, but pitiably fail to convey to
eye or heart the refreshing individual
ity or the satisfaction to be realized
in the cultivated woman's home

11s Is the Age Attributed to Mother
Margaret Kelley.

margaret N0I0y.
President Donovan Of the Irish Club,
of 146 East 15Sth street, New York,
announced just previous to the clubs
dinner Saturday night that it gave
him particular pleasure to introduce
the guest Of honor for the evening,
Mother Margaret Kelley, of 152 East
Sixtieth street. 1t was very unkind,
he said, to mention the age Of n wo-
man, but it was with particular pride
that he mentioned Mother Kelley's, as
11S years had passed since she was
born in Connaught, in February. 1888.
President Donovan said further that
Mother Kelley was married once and
that by this union there were four
teen children, the oldest Of whom
died eleven years ago at the age of 81.
She had in her career seen such
notables as the Duke of Wellington,
George III, George w.. william w.,
Queen Victoria, James Madison.
Thomas Jefferson. John Quincy
Adams and Andrew Jackson.
Mrs. Kelley was brought in in a
chair and sat at the table for while.
She was dressed in black, and is a
little woman who looked as If she
might be IS. She is very deaf, but is
bright-eyed. She said good evening
in steady voice and stayed a little
while.

1t is said that Archbishop Ryan has
kept Philadelphia in good humor for
"a years-the length Of time he has
been ut his post in that archdiocese
and the story below is typical Of the
way he has done It:
"Your Grace" said the Hon. Wayne
Mcveagh. when he was council Of the
Pennsylvania railroad, "our president
here, who always travels with his
counsel, will undoubtedly get you
passes over all the railroads in the

Minister Blessed BY Pope.

Referring to the death of the Rev.
Or. Biggs, for over fifty years pastor
Of the first Presbyterian church at
Chillicothe, and a man greatly
esteemed, Major William Poland,
prominent Catholic of that city, said:
1.-The venerable doctor and myself
We're always close friends. 1 met
him frequently and we often discussed
topics of Importance to church and
state.
During the seventies-I forget the
exact date-the doctor was given a
vacation and concluded to go to
Europe. He met me the next day and
related with great pleasure that he
was going to Europe and would visit
Rome and possibly would see the Pope.
Il told him that If he went to Rome
and failed to see the Pope he would
ever regret his neglect.
"A few months later, on his return,
enjoyed n hearty shake of his hand.
He said to me with a cheerful laugh,
Major, l was in Rome and saw the
Pope. I was one of several given an
audience and I was presented to the
Holy Father. There were several
who were not Of his household of faith.
but all were received very cordially,
the name and residence being given in
a loud voice, each being called in his
turn. Next came the trying part; all
good churchmen are expected to kneel
and receive the blessing Of the Holy
Father. watched all those who pre-
coded me very carefully so as to make
no mistake. During my wait, within
myself, said, "How can l, a Protest.
| ant minister, get upon my knees to
the pope Of Romeo" I thought would
bow my head respectfully and then
pass on. This was the plan laid out
in my mind, and up to the moment my
turn came to be presented, felt sure
Of this course. But when I stood be-
fore the Pontiff said within myself
'The blessing Of this great and sanity
appearing old gentleman can do me no
HARM" and dropped upon my knees
and devoutly received his blessing and
when arose felt that 1t was one of
the happiest moments of my exist
| ence.'"

JEROME EXPLAINS.
Apologies for His Course in Insurance
Company Affairs.

New York. March 3O.-The Times to-
day prints an extended interview with
District Attorney jerome, in which he
reviews his course in connection with
the life insurance cases now in the
courts He says in part:
There has been in the whole insur-
ance question much that is misleading
IN conception, the major part of which
has been entirely honest and natural,
but no small part of which has been
wilful and dishonest.
while it may be that all groups Of
transactions involving some moral
wrong should be within the criminal
law, it is not a fact. The hysteria which
has led to the denuneiatiOn of certain
transactions as crimes is met by some
at the other extreme by endeavoring to
justify the same transactions in the
form Of morals. Both positions are
equally unsound. No right minded man
can become familiar with the great
bulk OF things, shown by the evidence
taken before the Armstrong committee
and justify them.
And yet not a few Of the things
most severely condemned are absolute

IN dealing with the situation I have
