There are microbes that are
menacing the church with dire de

plague entitled Vacant Seats. There 3

void Of heat, we'd find the mercury
had dropped down in the vacant seat.
The doctors ought to busy get, the
church's health to save, because this
situation is becoming very grave.
Napoleon wished once, It's said. to
break conquered bell; his soldiers
swung their hamr q. and pound

and then, 1t quickly broke. Thus
what the church needs most TO fear,
is not the outside sin, but snineless,
lackadaisical inanfty within And that
which blocks and trips the church,
md rolls her down the stair, is the
nominal adherent who, however, isn't
there. If we could but eliminate this
stunting empty seat, tho church would
soar in glorious flight, amazingly
complete. There is a remedy that
works at any time and place; it's ev-

On Acting.

Acting is not a trade witch tends
TO stability and dignity of character,
but encourages sensibi and flashes
of warm instinct. Extreme aleTtness
to praise and blame, tremendously
combined with anity and absorption
in one topic, are almost Necessity Of
the occupation; but this existence,
however narrow and distorted, has the
primal virtues of vividrnss and vi al
ity. 1t not only depicts human pas
sions, but 1t also requires in its serv-
ants a varied and constantly ready
fund of emotio-3 and instincts Lack
ing the free AIR Of independence and
impartial thought, II has to the full
the warm breath of crude but passion
ate humanity. In fee'ng, however
blind, in life, however fragmentary, the
onlooker finds more to love In the
players world than In all the dead

METHODS OF INDUCING SLEEP
Is the Principal Thing to Keep
in Mind.

How to get to sleep, when every de-
vice fails and one feels desperate, is
a matter worth solving, especially If
there be simple methods that can be
tried.
A well-known lecturer on hygiene,
whom q very sleepless woman con-
suited on the subject of bad nights,
gave hers valuable advice, the efficacy
OF whiclS she has proved
"Stretc' out your limbs to the full
length, with the arms rather close to
the sides of the body, and straight
down." said he, cor If that is not COM
Portable, in any downward fashion"
Sometimes you may find it for the
moment restful TO clasp the arms
above the head, but on no account
give way to the habit of doing So for
this position drives aw1y the blood
from the heart and sends it to the
head, causing uneasy dreams, and
therefore restlessness, and may even
prevent sleep altogether.
Gently close your mouth and
breathe through your nose. This Is
highly important. Then let all the
muscles Of the face and neck be re-
Taxed, and all muscles Of the body,
too"
Women OF mature age should be as
careful as girls to see t. t they sleep
with the mouth shut, for this habit
combats a tendency, growing with the
years, to drop or protrude the jaw as
the face is settling TO sleep. A closed
mouth and relaxed muscles help to
keep you young looking.
Above all, sleep on your right side.
Wonderful for inducing sleep Is a
cup Of hot milk slipped slowly In bed
the very last thing.

GIVE REALITY TO THE CHILD
Writers Of the Nineteenth Century
Responsible for Valuable Addi-
ton to Literature.

Children were only found yesterday.
Before the nineteenth century the
child mind and the child heart were
not supposed to have enough in them
to interest the majestic adult. 1t is
true that you find a delightful baby
in Homer; that in Vergil there is the
prettiest glimpse of a little girl, and
UP and down in the classics you may
meet half a dozen other pleasant
shadows of children. But they are
only shadows, only at the most charm
ing pictures. They give you as much
as If they were painting or sculpture
for in children's bodies art has al
ways had interest enough-only what
a child looks like, the pretty weak
ness, the instinct for play, the native
gesture aud movement. Not till the
return to nature" not till the spirit
OF romance moved on the waters at
the end Of the eighteenth century, do
you find poets beginning to tell Of the
thought and faith in a child's mind,
the mysteries Of the child's heart, the
fanCies that are dreams and the fan
cies that are visions. You may think
that they have gone too far, that they
read into childhood the laborious
philosophizing and sometimes the la
bored sentimentality of the adult. But
no one who loves children VIII deny
that the best of the children in nine
teenth century books have a far richer
reality, n far fuller life than any that
were born In earlier words. And some
of the best are in Dickens.

REMEMBER THE LOVED ONES
Pathetic Religious Ceremony That 10
Observed by People Of the
Isle of Ushant.

In the Island Of Ushant-the isle
of Fear"-there exists custom prob
ably unknown in any other part Of
Christendom. When a native dies
abroad or is lost at sea, his relatives
have a small wax cross made, some
seven inches long. This is solemnly
taken to the church and presented to
the priest, who deposits it in a box,
shaped like a cinerary urn, that hangs
on the south side of the altar Of ST.
Joseph. This Is called the PRO Ella"
cross, and is supposed to stand for
the spirit Of the dead. These memo
rial symbols are allowed to accumu-
late in the box till the next church
mission comes round. AS these revi-
val services are held only once in ev-
cry four or five years, the number Of
crosses may be vely considerable. A
day is then set apart for their solemn
interment. 1t is the great day, the
climax Of the mission. The church is
draped in black and crowded with a
mourning congregation, many Of
whom break out into loud wailing.
The crosses are brought from their
urn in solemn procession, a requiem
mass is said over them, and then they
are carried to the churchyard, the
iron door OF the tomb is unlocked, and
they are Inferred with full honors.
Throughout the year hardly a day
passes but some pious soul comes to
sprinkle the tomb with holy water
and say a prayer before 1t for the
dead.-Wide World Magazine.
