Sleep an Aid to Beauty.

Any number OF women who are cut
ting ruthlessly into their allowance K
swell the cash drawer of the beauty
parlors could solve the riddle of ap,
pearing fresh and animated if they
would but make practice of taking
the proper amount of sleep.
The value of sleep as restorative
and as fountain of youth is unbe.
lievable until one has bathed regularly
therein. 1t almost seems magic in its
effect, and many woman who has
discovered the secret is the envy and
admiration of her beauty parlor
friends.
Nothing so adds to the years that
have gone as hollow eyes, sallow COM
plexion, drawn skin, the peculiar dazed
and inert manner that comes with loss
of sleep. For this massage, hot com
presses and the rest of the exterior
treatments are but temporary allevia-
tons. Animation, freshness of body
and spirit come from within, they are
radiant qualities, and to flourish prop
erly they must have interior nourish-
ing. Massaged beauty wears off in a
few hours, while the beauty that
comes with sleep is natural and there
fore lasting
Eight hours for work, eight hours
for sleep and eight hours for play is
the old rule Up to now no one has
improved on this proportion. When
it is well to take one day of
the week for absolute rest. Let this
day be quiet, free from physical or
mental strain. Wear loose clothes,
think good thoughts, yield to the nat
ural impulses and desires. Make it
and inviolable rule to lie down fiat, close
the eyes, leave the mind as clear as
possible and relax every muscle for at
least five minutes every day. If you
rare more for the preservation of your
youth and attractiveness than for your
pleasure take not less than the al
otted eight hours of sleep from the
twenty-four Exchange.

Mich Goats for Suburbanites.

Mr.. j. C. Darst, who is secretary Of
the American Mich Goat Record, con-
tributes an interesting article to Sub
urban Life for May about these goats.
He says CAS- matter of fact, the goats,
as it is commonly known in this country,
is not the creature that Is depended
upon for q milk supply here or abroad.
For some years, there has been more
or less constant Importation of foreign
goats of breeds known to be liberal milk
producers. Some time ago, the govern
ment imported shipment of goats from
the Island of Malta for experimental
purposes; but the experiment proved
anything but success, owing to the
physical condition of the animals. Prob
ably the most satisfactory goats for
milking purposes are those bred in
Switzerland, and known as Swiss mich
goats, or Togenburg goats These goats
are ideal for suburban people. They
can be kept in a small space, and the
feed bill is hardly worth mentioning
Although the amount of milk given is
not large. this milk is exceedingly rich
and nourishing. Tt has one remarkable
quality--it is absolutely free from tu-
berculosis germs. Moreover, II is far
better for infants and children than
cows milk"

MURDER OF THE cuoccoLos.
Alfano Imagines That the Informer
Had Bad Dreams

Viterbo, Italy, May l5.---The crown
prosecutor Saturday asked that Gennaro
Abbatemaggio be ipdicted as an accom-
plice in the murder of Gennaro Cuoc-
colo and his wife The request was
founded ON admissions made by Abbate-
maggie during the session of the
Camorrist trial, when he was again
confronted by. Enrico Alfano, charged
with being the actual head Of the Ca
mora, President Bianehi declined to
make such an order,
Saturdays exchange between Abbate-
maggie and Alfano had to do chiefly
with the actual murder OF the Cuoc-
colos. The informer repeated the cir
cmstances already known. Alamo re-
piled that he could only imagine that
his accuser had had bad dreams. When
Abatemaggio said that he had been
originally selected as one of the
assassins, but withdrew from partici-
patton in the crime because of his horror
OF the taking of human life, lawyer
for the defense, asked: "Then why,
if you were so Mortified, did you not warn
Cuoccolo Of the plot against him, by
means of an anonymous letter."
Because answered the witness, "the
Camorra would have suspected and pun
ished me-"
"Why was your share OF the reward
for the crime $50, while the actual muir
derers received only $50 eachf"
Because either the Camorrists feared
me or thought me useful"
II was this last statement of the in
former that led the crown prosecutor
to ask for his indictment.

at his appearance, they kept on. Zig
gins faced them and. opening bis

from his mouth by the yard. This
stopped them. but when the apparition
drew back few yards and the China
mems hunger had conquered their
fears so far as TO enable them to 60

The sausages exploded In their faces.
Turning toward Higgins. they saw
him Economically splitting fire at them.
This was too much for their equanim-
ity, and they ran.
Higgins now advanced as near as he
dared to the walls of the city, made
some valuable observations and then
turned his face toward camp. On his
way back the road was lined here and
there at distance by Cinnamon who
had witnessed the horrible magic and.
though curious, did not dare come very
near. BY the time he was nearing the
end Of his journey quite crowd was
following him. When they came too
near he would draw a circle of flame
with his cane or spit fire at them.
Then the specter. or whatever Il
was, appeared to grow--at least its
legs did-until at every step 1t gained
n couple Of yards 1t continued to
breathe out fire, and as the darkness
came on its hat seemed to be contin-
ually burning without being consumed.
And so marched the Illuminated giant,
the country round about filed with
iaObering. wondering. trembling China
men, until finally all its lights went
out and 1t was seen no more.
Higgins appeared on the American
picket line. but as he was expected he
passed In without the countersign. He
gave the result of his observations to
his general and was duly thanked
therefor. On the return of the troops
to America he was made an officer for
gallant and meritorious conduct"
