'But, monsieur"
AT that moment a member Of the
council having struck the body Of the
bronze horse with his cane, they all
cried out; This sounds hollow
Your bronze is hollow, monsieur"
said the mayor.
The unhappy sculptor then took
great pains to explain that all bronze
statues were hollow. The mayor
maintained an air Of defiant incredul-
ity, and as he passed around the monu-
ment said: 1T appears to me you have
hardly detailed the hair in the tail"
This was too much for the sculptor.
Il wished" he said, to screw natural
hair into his tail like the hair used in
children's hobby horses. It would
have taken six months to have done
SO. and I reflected that It would have
cost you too much"
And the municipal council Of Chalon

JOKE ON PROFESSOR

ADVICE.
Pupil Faithfully Followed instructions
and the Result Was Broken Rest
for the Unfortunate Music
Teacher.

The late Prof Julius Eicbbere,
whose violin school was at one time
enc Of the most nourlshing institu.
tons Of Boston, enjoyed telling the
following joke which was innocently
played on him by a pupil:
Just before the vacation season be
once inquired Of boy how much he
intended to practice on his violin dur
ing the summer.
"0h, not very rnuch," replied the
youngster.
Not very much How is that?"
Because want to play and enjoy
myself There are many other boys
where we go summers"
That's very WELL" answered Eich.

hour a day to your vlolin?
NO, sir" was the prompt reply.
Half an hour?
No, not even that. l have no time"
1T is too bad for you will forget
everything you have learned"
Eichberg stopped d minute think
and then said:
What time do you rise mornings
when on your vacation?"
Very early, sir--between five and
Six"
"Well, that's the best time. Put in
half an hours practice very morning
before you 90 down to breakfast"
The boy promised faithfully to do
80, and teacher and pupil parted on
the best Of terms.
A few weeks later. Eichberg was
peacefully slumbering in one Of the
cool rooms Of a fashionable summer
hotel, which he an his family reached
the night before, when he was most
inopportunely awakened by the furi-
Gus screeching of a violin Just over
his head.

screper Is at this hour" grumbIed be,
IS he looked at his watch, and was
horrified to see that It was not yet six
o'clock.
Sleeping late, as was his continental
habit, was altogether out OF the Ques-
ton for Eichberg that morning. for
the outlandish screeching was faith,
fully kept up Just half an hour, and
then suddenly ceased.
By that time. however, he bad
dressed himself. and having come
downstairs, was about 70 enter the

SHORT DISCOURSE ON PROPER

Writer Declares the Human Race Does

"Nature's Sweet Restorer''--
Beware the snorer.

Man is the only animal that sleeps
on its back, says the New York Press.
Many animals sleep on their sides,
but most sleep prone-that is. face
down. Dogs never dream when prone,
but invariably do 80 when sleeping
on their side. All Of US from the
country have seen Bung, the hound.

NAL would be perfectly helpless if it

II some other fellow wants a fortune
let him invent a pillow that will allow
man or woman or child to sleep face
down without having to twist the neck
nearly out Of joint. We still style it
the "back-up cure" and introduce 1t in
all homes. There is no excuse for
lying ON the back and keeping the
spine hot all night, while the front Of
the body-the abdomen, the stomach,
the chest, the throat. etc.-is allowed
to become chilled A hot spine is a
disease generator. And, on the other
hand, cold spine is death
Snoring is an internal nuisance to
every one except the snorer People
who sleep on their fronts never snore.
Those who sleep on their backs in
yariably do. The palate as we know
1t is the roof Of the mouth and the
floor Of the nose. Some style it the
hard palate. Back near the throat is
the soft palate. When you sleep on
your back this gets down about the
breathing apparatus and you snore.
Some snores are worse than the mid
night howl Of a hyena. Never marry a
woman that snores. Ask her before
you propose if she is addicted to snor.
ing, and If she says yea" avoid her.
1t is much easier to relax when
sleeping on your front than when
sleeping on your back And what we
all need after touching the bed at
night Is relaxation. It is billion
pities that some scientist cannot teach
the art of relaxing Our strenuous
life, of course, is not blameless In this
matter. We go to bed in excitement,
and the nerves are strung all night
That is to say, we 90 to bed in full
tune, like . piano, and cannot possibly
let the strings down Therefore We
do not rest. Could we relax we could
sleep four or fiye hours and arise re

The Hungry Parrot.

Everybody knows one or more Of
those conscientious sgotists who can.
not rid themselves Of the idea that no
one can be trusted to carry out the
simplest details Of routine work
without personal supervision. It
was one Of these men who sailed for
America, leaving In his brothers care
a parrot Of which he was very fond
All the way across the Atlantic he
worried about the bird, and no sooner
had he landed at New York than he
sent over this cablegram to his broth,
er:
