Rest Before Ea4ina-

Tn the first place, never come to table with a mind full of worries and trou- bles or in an irritable state of temper, nor, again, should you attempt to eat when very fatigued. Both these states tend to diminish the blood supply to the digestive organs and therefore to hinder digestion. Do not read or study when eating. but also do not sit glumly silent, A little pleasant conversation is helpful and prevents one getting into the obnoxious and dangerous habit cf bolttng ones food. Mashcate y0up food thoroughly. The preservation of the teeth depends largely on the use or misuse of them at meal times. To maintain them in health and strength they must be given plenty of work to do. Also in order that your meals may be properly digested they must be well masticated.

Lion ard .Loeemetlvs.

A construction train was puMnE along with a heavy load of material near Gwelo, when a full grown Hon was sighted stretched right across the line and basking peacefully in the sun. Tn reply to the whistle of the engine the brute looked up lazilys but did not attempt to move. The efforts Of the driver and the stolzer tO drive him off the line by pelt1ng him with billets of wood were no better rewarded The train was on the point of coming to a standstill when the Hon lost his tenn per. He took a sudden spring at the engine, seeking fin vain for something on it's smooth surface into which he could drive his claws and thus secure a foothold: Again and again the beast sprang, falling clear of the engine every time. The driver then realized that the best thing to do was to 60 full steam ahead and trust to the weight of the trucks behind the train on the line to clear the Hon from its path. This was done. with the result that the lion, a magnificent specimen, was cut to pieces by the engine wheels. -"Cape to Cairo Railway" in Empire MaRaziue

Remove rugs from the bare floor. but keep a small one handy for the patients feet Cover carpet with a smooth sheet of something washable. In case Of contR zion take away dra- peries and pictures. Have the bed stead light and firm standing, not too low, single or of three quarter size. Set it so there is free passage all s=>>9H2 $, but not so light glares into sick eyes. Place the head at least six inches from the wall and set beside it a small solid table. couch or single bed, spacious dresser. a bigger table and at most three chairs are complete equipment. Give up the dresser to the patients clothes, bedcIothes, tow els. table covers and so forth. Have three changes of clothes, a dressing gown light shawl. slippers, many clean handkerchiefs.

Reused the Judge.

When Judge Gaynor was on the bench in New York he had case where the attorney for the defense was exhaustfng the patience of every one in asking absurd questions of a witness wkose mentality was of ex- Temely low order. He kept this up for half an hour to no purpose at all and at last explained:
 ''Now, of course. you don't know that the defendant here is & manu- factursr?'
 Please don't address your questions to what this witness does not know" interposed Judge Gaynor. Tt opens such a wide range of possibility. 1t is patent that if you persist in finding out what he does not know we will never finish this case Please therefore try to find out something that he does know."

A LITTLE HISTORY.

The movement as We have just learned
from NJ Picabia, started with impress
sionism. Then came neo-impressonism.
whose leader is Signac; then cubism.
which sought a geometric third dimen-
sion I'm painting. the expression OF things
seen I'm geometrical figures. But purely
subjective art cannot. of course. be
bound by any form Of expression the mo-
ment that expression becomes a conven-
ton, an established body of laws with
accepted values. Therefore M. Plcabia
has cut loose from cubism. and Is what.
again for handy classfcation-an evil

ourselves may perhaps best be called
