young ladies' they had seen on the
street; pretended to faint, and would
not come to until revived with sundry
caresses and Jumps of sugar; and
multitude of other amusing tricks that
made in part the cleverest animal per-
formance it was ever the visitors for
tune to witness.
"But how did you ever accomplish
tt?" was asked in establishment, these
are just common, ordinary mules, and
yet they display almost human intelli.
gence. never imagined a mule could
learn so much"
"a mule" replied the professor"
with pleased smile, knows more
than you. or I, or many other people
imagine. He not only knows, but he
remembers. could go away now and
not see these little fellows for ten
years, and at the end of that time If
l were to come back they would not
only remember me, but they would
recollect every one Of the tricks l have
taught them. It would take me all
day, and more, to show you all they
know. They learn not only from me.
anything to one the rest seem jealous
They look on with the greatest atten-
ton, and the first thing know half
a dozen are doing the tricks / taught
only one; and when laugh or seem
pleased they kick up and gambol
about, exactly like lot of little boys
who thought they had done something
exceptionally smart.
II think" he went on presently in a
thoughtful tone, that the world has
been overlooking very useful factor
In SO misunderstanding the mule. 1t
Is my experience that no animal
brings more common-sense and intelli-
gence to bear on its work than a mule
If he is only given chance A horse
and a mule are very differently consti-
tuted. A horse is quick, nervous,
high-strung, and both acts and compre-
hends much quicker than a mule A
horse would rush into danger without
stopping to investigate, while mule
would not. A horse learns much
more quickly, but he also forgets much
more quickly than mule. The rea-
son so many people think the mule
stupid and obstinate is because he Is
cautious and slow to make up his
mind. But II you will give him time
and let him convince himself a thing
is all right, he will never forget 1t and
ne will never again hesitate to do that
thing or go into that place."

Making the Best of a Good Thino

ing been more than usually careful in
looking after Queen Alexandra's COM
fort. was summoned to the royal pres
ence. The queen, presenting the man
with a guinea, said:
Now, my friend. what will you have
to drink?"
Why" please your majesty" says
the coxswain, 81 am not thirsty"
But said her royal highness, you
must have a drink with me. What
shall 1t be, dram, glass Of grog,
or tumbler of punch?"
Why" said Jack. "as 1 am to drink
with your royal highness. it wouldn't
be good manners to be backward, so
I'll take the dram now. and will be
taking the glass Of grog while your
majesty is mixing the tumbler of
punch for me-"

LITTLE study of the pattern
hats shown in this group will
"A make the reader familiar with
three of the very best models in
elegant millinery. The black chip hat
on the standing figure has a medium
high crown with a crushed band about
1t of wide velvet ribbon. The full
rosette of white lace is centered with
a jet cabochon. A big spray of arti-
fetal wheat made of white silk fiber
springs from this aigrette. Black and
white is a beautiful combination and
harmonizes with any costume. The
hat having a flower crown of violets
and chrysanthemum is all in laven-
der and amethyst shades with the
satin facing shading off toward pink
the color known as pink-lavender.
Wide ribbon is crushed about the base
of the crown and three loops at the
right make sprightly finish.

who has mastered all the gymnastics
that promote health and beauty,
claims that it is impossible to be fair
and graceful without deep breathing.
1t is a fact that those who breathe
properly live far longer than those
who breathe any old way.
Accompanied by lung exercises.
there are mental and mechanical gym
nastics for making the veriest wide
awake a sleepy-head. The mind is in
volved. When bed time comes you
must teach your mind to drop the lit
tie worries of day; then when the
night toilet is prepared, you must take
20 deep breaths at an open window
WRAP up welD and go to your couch
in the firm belief that you will sleep.
1t is a very easy matter to hypno-
tize the mind into the stay-awake
state. If you think that a banging
shutter, or some other trif1e, will keep
you from sleeping, 1t will. Get into
bed, then, perfectly assured of the
kindness of the Sand Man, and stretch
out first with a deep inhalation that
seems to run from the toes to the top
of the head. Lie on the back for this,
with every muscle relaxed, and the
arms lying lifeless, heel to heel. Then
begin and breathe with one part of
your body after the other, doing this,
of course, as much with the mind as
with the lungs. Start with the right
foot, beginning the inhalations low
down, as 1t seems, in the lungs, yet
drawing the breath as it seems, too,
through the leg as If 1t were hollow.
Go to the left leg with the same
process, take the right arm, the left,
the heart, the brain. At last take an.
other breath or two from the toes to
the brain for the final washing out
But let me make prediction-if you
count ten with the breathing Of each
part of you, before you get to the left
arm the Sand Man will have come,
unless yours Is a hopeless case of
nervousness
A glass of warm milk drunk at night
just before going to bed is very
soothing to the nerves, and sometimes
serves as a definite sleeping potion,
as an entirely empty stomach often
causes sleepless ness. Keeping the
feet warm in bed is another little
remedy surely open to all, for it does
not require much to know that cold
feet means that the blood is in the
head and that this must be drawn
away before sleep can come. In ex-
treme cases Of wakefulness, then, 1t is
a good thing to take a hot foot bath
just before going to bed and the feet
can be rubbed with turpentine, which
will increase the warmth and pleasant
tingle.
AS to the bath for cleanliness, can
not give 1t too much Importance
where the health and comfort of the
aenemic woman is involved. It is abb
solutely necessary to keep the pores
OF the skin open for the nerves to be
soothed, as the greater part of the
body's breathing is done through
them. If the hot bath at night pro-
notes wakefulness, 1t had better be
taken in the day, but If it can be
taken without this effect, then all the
better, for in this case it will be still
another aid toward sleep. But remem-
Der always that the aememic body re-
quires hot water, as hot as it can be
borne; and as soap is tonic In its
effects on the skin, don't be chary az
using 1t. A medicated bath Is alsD
sometimes of enormous benefit In
cases of sleeplessness.
