The aualitx Of sleen.

There are good sleepers and bad
sleepers-light sleepers, disturbed by
the least light or sound; heavy sleepers,
who rest calmly through thunder
storm. Some fortunate people fall
asleep almost as soon as the head rests
on the pillow every night; others, less
fortunate, must WOO sleep patiently.
The quality of sleep also varies. The
neurasthenic wakes tired after a long
nights sleep; the after dinner sleep Of
undue repletion is unrefreshing and
sometimes Supplying. On the other
hand, brief nap may dismiss at once
the fatigue and languor of a busy man.
The greatest foe of sleep is perhaps
terror; suspense and anxiety come
next. Speaking generally, emotional
excitement relating to the future and
to action is greater cause of wake
fulness than grief and regret for the
past. Grief. however, often gives rise
to protracted sleeplessness indirectly;
it affects the digestion. and then dys-
pepsia interferes with sleep. When
cold feet Interfere with sleep, it is by
an influence on the cerebral circulation.

A man was buying camping outfit.
The dealer, as he packed the camp

"And l shall add finder box as

Campers. explorers and big game
hunters, nevertheless, often include a

the dealer. "a finder box is .cumber-

damp climate, in food, where matches

The hunters moon is the full moon
next following the harvest moon,
which is itself the full moon nearest
the autumnal equinox. At the period
of the hunters moon the full moon

enough to Aries to make an extremely
small angle with the earth when rising.
On that account there are several sue
cessive nights during the October full
moon when the rising is nearly at the
same hour. In some cases the differ
ence is only a half hour in four nights.
In old times the harvest moon was
supposed to be special provision Of
the Almighty to allow the husbandman
to care Tor his grain, and when it was
noticed that the October moon also

The Church OF st. Sophia at Con-
stantinople is, next to the Pantheon
OF Rome, the most central and historic
edifide still standing erect. Ii is now
tn Its fourteenth century of continu-
GUS and unbroken use. and during the
whole Of the last epoch 1t has never
ceased to lie the Imperial fame Of the
eastern world, nor has it ever, as the
Pantheon. been desolate and despoiled
Its Influence oyer eastern architecture
has been almost as wide as that OF
the Pantheon over western architec-
ture, and 1t has been far more cOntin-
uous. 1t was one of the most original,
daring and triumphant conceptions in
the whole record of human building,
and Mr.. Ferguson declares it to be
internally "the most perfect and beau.
tiful church ever yet erected by any
Christian people," Its interior is GER
tainly the most harmonious, most COM
plete and least faulty Of all the great
domed and round arched temples. 1t
mites sublimity of construction with
grace Of detail. splendor of decora-
ton with indestructible material.
1t avoids the conspicuous faults of
the great temples of Rome and of
Florence, while it is far richer in deco
rative effect within than our own st.
Paul's or the Pantheon Of Paris. Its
glorious vesture of marble, mosaic,
carving and cast metal is unsurpassed
by the richest of the Gothic cathedrals
and is far more enduring. Though
twice Us old as Westminster abbey, it
has suffered less dilapidation and will
long outlast it. Its constructive mass
and its internal ornamentation far ex-
coed in solidity the slender shafts, the
paintings and the stained glass of the
Gothic churches. In the mastery
type the mind is aroused by the in
finite subtlety of the construction, and
the eye is delighted with the mex
austible harmonies of superb de-
sign worked out in most gorgeous ma
terials.
For Justinian and his successors ran

Rome, this is the one example of a

still remains unruined. The. gilded
