SLEEP FOR CHILDREN.
Value of Complete Rest Inestimable
to Child and Lack Sure to Re-
suit in Ills.

The real value of sleep to growing
boys and girls can scarcely be overes'
timated. II parents felt the import
ance of a goodly number Of hours
sleep to their growing children IL
would mean the establishment OF q
new habit of living in many cases,
| The babies and little children in q
well regulated household generally
have their maps or sleeping time sys'
| tematically arranged for them, and a
| good habit is established which gives
basis for sound nerves and whole
some bodies but as child grows
older his nervous activity increases,
and even though he may feel bodily
exhausted his will together with his
intense interest in life and surround
ings combine to keep him awake. He
will beg to remain with his elders
and to enjoy late hours even when
his weary head is nodding and his
tired eyes are half closed and heavy
with sleep. When a parent consents
to allow a child to disobey nature in
this way the overburdened strength
must pay the penalty. In many cases
irritability develops when the tired
body and strained nerves are over.
taxed, and the child is brought under
strict discipline and maybe severe
ly reprimanded The result Of the
punishment under such conditions
merely aggravates a bad nervous
state, and long line of evils follow.
Almost any child is reasonable and
manageable If he Is in normal condi
tion, and there is nothing so vital, SO
necessary in promoting natural
healthy state of existence for boy
or girl as plenty of good sleep.
The public school of to-day neces'
sarily makes very strenuous demands
upon its pupils. A great deal is ex-
pected and demanded from these
young minds and bodies. Time il
passing New pupils are coming in
every year. Those who now occupy
the room must move along to make
place for others. A certain amount OF
work must be finished. Sanitary con.
ditions are not always of the best or
der in our school rooms. Overwork
ed teachers and overcrowded rooms
all have their effect upon individual
work and individual constitutions.
Each child bears a part of the strain
and feels the evil consequences both
and mentally. These les
son days are not the easiest days to
after all. The children strug.
gle and battle with probably as great
difficulties (taken proportionately) as
their elders find in the conflict with
life in broader sense. Many tired |
little body succumbs to disease sim
ply because nature has been on a
strain for the few years of
the child's life.-Brooklyn Eagle.

A FEW HINTS ON BAKING.
To Keep Pie Crust in Shape, Cookies
from Burning. Fruit Pies from
Getting Soggy.

When baking a shell for a lemon O,
cream pie, try this plan to keep it in
shape. Line the deep pie tin in the
usual way, then after Touring the bot.
tom and sides of another tin exactl,
like 1t, place it in the slfell That Is
ready to bake. The empty tin keeps
the crust in perfact shape, yet does
not hinder its baking nicely.
When baking cookies, hermits OF
anything Of that nature, instead of
Placing them In pans in the ordinary
way try placing them on the bottom
OF the pans when they are inverted
Ihere Is much less danger of burnina
them on the bottom, and being farthe,
removed from the heat of the bottom
OF the oven, they will rise more befor,
becoming set, and are therefore much
lighter and better.
When baking custard in Guns. se,
them In shallow pan Of hot water
Inc custard bakes much more evenl,
throughout, and is less liable to sen.
arate, and the steam rising from the
water makes it impossible to scorcb
the top even with a quick fire.
10 bake fruit pies so that all the
Juice is retained yet does not soak the
bottom crust. try this plan: Put stale
oread through the food chopper, and
place layer of it, quarter of an
ihch thlck' over the bottom crust after
IT is placed in the tin and before the
lrult is put In. The crumbs absorb
the extra juice. and cause 1t to be.
come ike Jelly, which improves the
pie but gives no hint of bread crumbs
lhis Is much more satisfactory than
using flour, which so often leaves a
raw pasty taste when the pie is done

NOTES ON FASHIONS.
nesurrect Your Old Crochet Work
and Make Use of 1t on the New
Lingerie Blouse.

The tailor's secret Of making a
bodice belt defy the sagging effects OF
time and frequent wear is a very
simple one. Whether the bolt be
made at home or be purchased Ii a
shop, the little finishing touch may be
applied with excellent results. Those
that are bought ready-made have
usually the whalebone in the back
sometimes there are even three, con
verging to "V" at the waist line ana
widening at the top. There is also
one on either side in front, where the
belt fastens These should be sup.
pemented by bone half way be.
tween the front and back, just where
the gathers begin to widen. But the
real stay that will make your belt
shapely throughout its lifetime Is the
waistband-like that fastened inside
any ordinary bodice. This is fastened
to the belt just where those three
bones are placed in the back. 1t fits
snugly, bears the strain and saves the
soft silk or satin from the stretching
process certain to come in the course
of a few wearings.

their closets? If SO, now is the time
to bring them out, but for dress trim.
ming. Fashion has set the seal of her
approval upon handmade lace, and
there is nothing more modish than
the pretty crocheted lace with which
every woman was wont to occupy her
spare time few years ago. Women
folk were especially fond of making
tides of the little round wheels of
crocheted lace. Now, while these
tides were hideous as ornaments for
chairs they are really lovely when
taken apart and set in dainty waists |
as medallions. A tour of the shops |
will show many beautiful lingerie |
waists with yoke and other fancy eff.
fects formed of lace medallions. One
clever girl who found an old-fashioned |
tidy in the attic brought 1t to light OF
day and after washing and separating
the wheels put half a dozen on the
front of her new lingerie blouse. The
effect was charming and the girl is
now receiving congratulations on her

CHANNEL DEEPENED.
Remarkable Effect of the Earthquake
Upon Mokelumne River.

Stockton, Cal.-It has been dlscov-
cred that in the vicinity of Wood.
bridge the Mokelumne river has fallen
twelve feet, the bed of the river having
dropped from the effects of the recent
earthquake.
The stream had been carrying los
OF water when 1t was noticed that tho
river was steadily falling, contrary "a
all precedent An investigation
showed that the bed was almosi
twelve feet lower than before.
AS the waterway has been steadily
filling up each year with silt from tho
upper portion of the river, farmer
along that stream are highly pleased
with the change. since il can carry
far more water than heretofore and
not endanger their lands on either sid
of 1t.
Another incident of the earthquake
Is the drying up of Tracy lake, in thd
northwestern part of San Joaquin
county. Ever since the earthquake
the water has been decreasing at d
rapid rate, and at present it is almoss
on level with the Mokelumne river,
