A Clever Child.

Lady Jane Grey was the -,ost learned child of which history has any record. Before she was 9 years old she wrote a beautiful hand and was able to play on many different instruments. She could speak several languages. both ancient and modern. besides being well grounded in philosophy.
 When other children were playing. she would amuse herself by reading writings of the philosophers in the orr iginal Greek.
 She led very lonely life when she was a child, as her mother and father were often away at court, leaving her to the care of her governess and her schoolmasters at the gloomy family place called Bradgate. Perhaps that Is why she became so learned.
 The big, square house was built on the edge of & great forest surrounded by acres of uninhabited land. There were very few books and not any news papers at the castle, and Lady Jane Grey had no playmates. as her gov erness would not allow her to play with the servants children. and there were no others suitable for her companion ship within miles. Poor little thing! She would have been happier with a little more love and a little less learn ing

One authority says a remedy is to be found in pulling at a clean empty tobacco pipe-woeden and curved.

It is said that from sixty to hundred puffs win superinduce drowsiness. Pun slowly, with deep inhaling move ment The expelling motion must be made deliberately. with narrowed lips. The pipe should not be removed during the entire operation. each displacing and replacing movement tending to wakefulness. The assurance is given that nervous people need not fear dan ger fin falling asleep with the stem of a curved pipe between the teeth. Sleep will relax the jaws. and the pipe will drop out.
