national cry is, How can l get enough s1eep?" To answer this question, 1t is necessary in the first place to determine how much sleep is neces- sary; and in the next place to find out the cause or causes which prevent 1t.
 The amount of sleep necessary varies with the individual Some require more than others, and among such are nervous people. The length of time one sleeps depends upon habit There are those who contend that the majority of people sleep too much, that they are rendered inert and stupid in con nsequence.
 The regulation amount of time to spend in sleep is generally set down as eight hours. Those who lead an active life in the midst of the whirl and ex- citement of the city require more sleep than those who spend their days in com parative tranquility.
 Causes of Insomnia
 The causes of insomnia are many. It may be that tine room is not sufficiently ventilated. One cannot sleep in a room that is close or overloaded. The super stition that night air is unhealthy is passing away, since 1t has been demon strated that health has been restored, especially in lung troubles, by sleeping in the open air.
 One is often rendered sleepless when buried under too many bed-cotheS. he head should not be too high; besides oftentimes preventing sleep, it makes one round-shou1dered. Tea and coffee taken at night will often keep one awake. Tea and coffee in any great amount are bad for the nerves and the heart, and should not be indulged in too freely by anyone at any time.
 The digestion and food have much to do with insomnia. Everyone knows the wakefulness caused by over-eating or taking into the stomach before going to bed that which Is rich and indigestible :; if sleep itself is not banished, the slurn- Der is disturbed by unpleasant dreams and nightmares. Sleeplessness may also be occasioncd by hunger, which gives a gnawing sensation to the stomach. Worry and Anxiety
 The greatest disturbance to sleep is that occasioned by worry and anxiety. These and other states of mind result in an over-activity of the brain. The head no sooner touches the pillow than

 The depth of the winding determines the size of the spot. In the table-cover shown the wound space was about five eighths of an inch deoe, and, when the desired depth is reached, tie the wind ing thread to the end that has been wound over, and clip both ends off mod erately short.

of the milk and the selected seasoning.
 This is the "cream sauce" or "white sauce" that is used for SO many pur- poses in cooking: without the pepper it is the dip for cream toast. It is the sauce for creamed codhsh and for creamed potatoes. Made a bit thicker, it is used to mix croquettes, to prepare fish au gratin," to fricassee oysters, to pour over vegetables that you serve d la creme, as it is called.
 Whenever you have rule given you that says make white sauce," you may turn to the one just given you, and there you have it. This sauce with egg boiled hard, chopped and added to it, is the "egg sauce, called for so often to be served with boiled and baked fish; with capers added it is Hcaper sauce," with chopped parsley 1t is "parsley sauce" ;; you may flavor it in as many ways as you desire, according to the use to which you are to put it, with lemon juice, cay enne or onion juice.
 Broiling and Frying
 ing fish, but broiling or baking is most general; sometimes they are boiled and sometimes fried, but the first two ways are the most wholesome.
 The fish that are broiled are mackere1, whitehsh, small bluehsh, trout, shad, small cod, or any other thin fish, also slices of halibut, salmon and other thick fish. When the entire fish is to be broiled, it should be split down the back and the head and tail removed. It is a good plan to remove the backbone also, making the fish easier to serve, and also assuring its cooking more evenly. If the

THE NEW TIED WORK
A Simple and Inexpensive Method
 of House Decoration

HE medium with which one is
 best acquainted will naturally
 make the strongest appeal
 when decorative work for household or personal use Is under con- sideration. The needleworker of limited experience will undertake willingly the simplest of the braid faces, that require nothing more exact in the way of stitch cry than fagoting or twisted cross-bars and an occasional spider-web or wheel.
 She will realize at the beginning that needle experience has not yet given her the exact eye nor delft hand to make the accurate anf even buttonhole meshes of the more elaborate lace filling or the exquisite satin-stitch of fine embroidery. The art student who has decorated can vas and plaque with studies in oils will invariably employ that medium rather than embroidery should she desire to or nament handbag or belt, buttons, bands or trimmings for costume; water col ors, too, will be used to embellish the lighter fabrics
 Decorative Work for the Homo
 All of these accomplishments require mulch training in addition to natural skill, but there are many who have the desire to produce decorative work for the home who have had no training and no acquaintance with any of these means There IS one common ground, though, upon which almost all housewives meet, and where economy and thrift have been the most valuable and successful in- structors-the dye-pot holds within its bubbling depths other possibilities beside converting the spotted gray dress into a serviceable brown, or the faded light blue into smart new navy.
 The dyes, in their convenient package form, are well and favorably known to almost every housekeeper, though she may not have made their acquaintance as art coIors. Stenci1ing, a more or less mechanical form of color drawing, is ad- vancing steadily in favor, and here it is that the favorite medium asserts itself The student who is familiar with oil colors uses them, thinning with tur- pentine to sufficiently fluid consistency This method has it's disadvantage that if sufficient color is not prepared and Hsed at the time, the shade will change consequently large piece of work must be hurried, in order to complete it al one sitting-not very good recom- mendation for the medium employed.

Dressing Baked Fish
 After the fish is stuffed, cut gashes two inches apart on each side Put narrow strips of fat salt pork in the gashes, and lay some on the fish sheet under the fish. Place the fish upright in the pan by skewering the head one way and the tail another. Dredge with flour, and put into a hot oven without any water in the pan; when the flour is brown haste often with the pork fat. The fish is done when the flesh sepa- rates easily from the bone.

 The Use of Drugs
 Drugs are valuable in eases in wl1icr the power of sleep is lost and walseful- ness has become habit. No one shot1l4 take drugs for sleep without the advice of physician. Drug habits are worse than sleeplessness. The same causes which prevent sleep are often those as xesd assa ssy sssf S.s the MasPas sss habits have thus been formed. Sul- phonal and trional and allied drugs should be avoided, as they act on tho heart, and if long continued will cause disease of that organ.
 Drugs are useful to break up the habit of sleeplessness; and in cases sleep, the person has become weak and run down, then under the advice of . physician take the remedies which are thought suitable to the case. A cause of sleeplessness which has not been mem toned is poverty of the blood. In such cases the patient needs iron and tonics and should take them.
 One of the best remedies for sleep lessness is electricity. The ga1vanic cur- rent is used, as that is more sedatiye than the faradic current. The faradic current is the one that makes the bug zing sound, and is the current given by the ordinary cheap batteries. That cur rent is exciting and will not promote sleep. Electricity should be administered by one who has knowledge and practice. A HOMEMADE DOLL

THE SOUL OF GOODNESS.

When EerXes invaded Europe-and
came within an ace of annexing it to
Persia and making Orientals of all of
tla--he brought alfalfa along for fod-
der for his horses.
Xer~es was beaten back by the
Greeks. His fleet was sunk, the bridge
ne threw across Hellespont was ris-
astrously wrecked, his cohorts We're
turned hacl, in slaughter by the Spar
cans and Lacedemonians, and Europe
was saved. 1t was awful war, and it
left Greece prostraIed.
But the alfalfa seed remained. and
did more good than all Xerxes' armies
did of harm. We of America are now
getting rich through Xerxes' horse
feed. All the states west of the Mis-
ssissippi. and much of those east of
chat river. are trusting to alfalfa to
make them richer, better land and
happier homes than could possibly
toe the case if Nerves had not so many
