ApopIexy.

The word generally means sudden
paralysis caused by the rupture OF blood
vessel in the brain; il is popularity called
stroke" II is result OF the soften
ing OF the arteries that often follows pi-
mary hardening, or aueriosclerosis. Tire
disease is common accompaniment OF
old age, so common indeed that il Is re-
garded by many as the one characteristic
senile change.
II is not confined TO old age, however,
for many comparatively young men who
have gone too fast and too far in the pur-
suit OF wealth, or who have met with re-
verses and have worried unduly over
them, have hardening arteries, and are
killed or disabled by apoplexy. In their
hardened blood-vessels there may be
soitening spots which, bulged by the hy-
draulic pressure OF the blood, form little
aneurisms. A little extra strain on the
vessels, caused by some violent emotion.
or the lifting OF heavy weight, or run
ming TO catch train, may then rupture
one or more OF these little aneurisms,
and so LET the blood pour into the brain
tissue.
II the blood escapes rapidly and in
large amount, il causes immediate loss OF
consciousness and paralysis II the blood
escapes gradually and in small amount,
il causes either severe headache, and
tingllng and nunbness in one or more OF
the limbs. or progressive loss OF power,
gradual dulling OF the mental faculties and
ultimate Inconsistencies.
ApopIexy is not always fatal indeed,
complete recovery without any paralysis
sometimes occurs. The sufferers imme-
diate fate is commonly decided In two or
three days either he dies without regain
ing consciousness or his mental faculties
gradually return. He is then seen 10 be
paralyzed in either one arm OF in one leg,
or in one side OF the face, or In all three.
In less serious cases the paralysis les
sens, the facial expression becomes nor
NAL and the limbs regain their power
Even when the paralysis Is permanent,
there is almost always more or less i'm
provement for some weeks after the
stroke.
Apoplexy can be treated only by the
physician, but those who fear an attack
can do much TO avert II. Quiet and calm
should for them be the rule Of life. They
should never make any severe muscular
effort. They should never run for cars
or climb stairs quickly. They should
avoid hearty meals and the drinking OF
much fluid, even water, at any time.

How Birds Sleep.

The sleep of most wild creatures,
whether birds or animals, is light; there
is too much danger round to make sound
sleep safe. The authors of "a Game
Keepers Notebook" who made some
very interesting observations on sleeping
birds, found out that the perch-rooSting
birds always sleep head TO the wind.
If rook alights in the home tree in a
high wind, he swings his head into the
wind before alighting. SO when wood
pigeons come home before the wind,
they pass over their roosting-treeS and
then beat up into the wind.
At rest the bird doubles its knees, as il
were, which causes the toes 10 contract,
the weight Of the body resting chiefly on
the breast and out-spread wings-not on
the eggs if in a nest. The legs and feet
have Sinews which work an automatic
locking action OF the claws, so that. rooSt-
ing with knees doubled up, the feet grip
the branch unfallingly.
Some birds seem always half-awake.
Wild-fowlers will scratch match at night
10 test the presence or absence OF wild
duck in a distant creek; il present, an
instant quacking will betray them.
Pheasants are always vigilant; on the
darkest night il is difficult to stalk them,
however quietly you move. lfyou come
within hundred yards Of guinea-iowl al
night, they will raise an alarm. They
excel at talking in their sleep.
But some birds, such as wrens, when
cuddling in hole in the thatch, seem 10
sleep soundly. And while wild pigeons
will fly out at once if match be struck
under their tree, pigeon-lover in Lon
don says that his city birds, rooSting on
window-ledges, lose their wariness by
night, and will hold their own in the face
of a candle while hand is stretched out
TO touch their necks.
Panridges seek sheltered dry-lying
hollow in the fields, and covey Of
twenty will huddle on spot yard in
diameter. The colder the weather the
closer they roost; the birds on the edge
have their breasts outward. Sometimes,
by the way, it is unfortunate for part
ridges and pheasants that the position OF
their nests prevent them from flying TO
and fro. Having to force their way
through tangled underground, a trail is
left for the fox TO follow home. The
barn-yard fowl may walk from her nest
when in captivity; but when she has
stolen her nest abroad, she resumes the
habit Of flying.

When Pride Is Justified.

For too many mortals are vain and self
satisfied because OF some temporary
meTcenary advantage, and in their eager
ness to display that advantage at every
opportunity often destroy their greatest
blessing, the physical counterpart OF SUM-
shine, which is their own health. Ne
elected colds, irregular meals, overloaded
Stomachs and night revelry result IN shat
tered nerves, depressed vigor and fatigue,
all OF which invite decline and disease.
Each person stands sentinel at the
portals OF his own health and he who
guards, protects, strengthens and builds
up rugged constitution is justified in
pride and finds therein his own recon-
pense-the capacity TO enjoy the fulness
of life.
The strain OF modern commercial and
social living taxes strength and energy
and in maintaining the highest self-effi-
cheney we should not only cultivate deep
breathing, out OF door exercise, regularity
and temperance in all things, but study
the greatest OF all physical power-creators
which is body nourishment. In this,
alcoholic preparations should be carefully
Stunned and such pre-digested nourish-
ment as Scott's Emulsion which enriches
the blood and creates vitality by building,
healing and Strengthening, should be
selected.
SCOTS Emulsion is scientifically pre-
pared and is good for teething babies,
nursing mothers, growing children, the
aged and iniim. II contains no wine OF
stimulant, but is wholesome and pure
and has helped millions 10 regain health
and sustain it. Worthless substitutes are
sometimes offered, but Scott's Emulsion
is the genuine pure iood-medicine.

Peace more than fame. though fame he prize.

Let justice guard il power increase.

To scorn effeminate delights.
Give him mind that wills and fights.
As men may fight whose wills are good.

But the rich tribute OF their praise,

No smile less true with his can mate.
And teach him most OF all to hate
