As to Sleep and Study.

Many youth in school is con-
demned as sleepy head because his
parents neglect to see to it that he
gets the proper amount of sleep.
Mothers know that the newborn in
FAINT should sleep about % hours each
day and that this need of sleep is
lessened so slowly that the child de-
mands IL hours when it is about IL
years old. 1t is decided by experts
that the normal amount of sleep is
not reduced to ten hours until between
the ages of IS and 81 years. and that
many persons require nine hours
sleep during most of life thereafter.
Despite these facts that should be
well known, how many boys of IL to
IA years form the habit of sitting up
until ten o'clock at night and are
as regularly routed out by their pa
rents al six o'clock in the morning?
This isla crime, the evil of which is
in no dSgree lessened because it is a
long-est;iblished custom. Experience
and observation have proved that
those who retire in time to
sleep at least nine hours get far more
of permanent good out of their course
OF study than those who double their
hours of work by robbing themselves
of sleep. says the Chicago Sun. The
child especially should be in bed reg
ularly in time that it will awaken
naturally at an early enough hour to
be ready for school. If allowed to
sit up late to be literally dragged from
bed in the morning. the parent should
expect the child to be in the sleepy.
head class.

GIANT RADIsHes or THE EAST
There the Vegetable Grows - an
Enormous Size.

Radishes In North China and IN
Japan are as important and ubiqui-
tous a part of every meal as is bread
in America In both countries many
millions of bushels of this vegetable
are grown every year. and they are
to be had at all seasons. It IL thus
easy to understand why these parts
of the world grow the strangest and
biggest radishes known.
The giants beside the little French
breakfast. our favorite American va
riety. are but babies beside the mon
sters they grow under the warm,
moist influences of the oriental eli
mate
These radishes are grown on Amer
lean soil from seeds imported by the
United States department of agricul-
ture from China. They take well to
the American climate, and probably
would have weighed Ave pounds when
full grown.
When these fellows are grown In
China they rapidly form great bril-
liant red globe eight to ten inches In
diameter and weighing sometimes 20
pounds. Another kind IL snow white
and grows foot long. and still an
other is brilliant green on the out
side and q beautiful wine red when
the skin is cut. Some of these
strange vegetables are exceedingly
delicate in flavor and texture when
grown under favorable conditions.
