The Roof In literature.

Northern literature has never taken the roof seriously. There have been many books written from the view. point of windows. The study window is usual. Then there is. a college win dow and the Thrums window; also there is a window viewpoint as yet scarcely eXpressed-that of the boy of Stevenson's poems with his nose flat tened against the glass; convalescencc looking for sailormen with one leg What is "Un Philosophe sous les Toits" but a garret and its prospect But does Souvestre ever go up on the roof? He contents himself with open ing his easement and feeding crumbs to the birds. Not once does he climh out and scramble around the mansard On wintry nights neither his legs nor thoughts join the windy devils that play tempest overhead. Then, again from Westminster bridges. from coun try lanes, from crowded streets, from ships at sen and mountain tops have sonnets been thrown to the moon; not once from the roof.-Yaie Review.

A Flash of HoMells, Mt.

In the Letters of Charles Eliot Nor son'' is one written by him to Eliot Norton in 1907. in which is this glimpse of Howells with flash of his quick wit:
 MT. Howells was with HIS on Sun day and seemed better than l had ex pected, considering how poorly he was during the greater part of the winter and spring. Pleasant as he always is, he never was plcasanter. and we had four or five hours of animatcd talk. by which a vast deal of ground whs GOV cred His humor was delightful as of old. One quick bit of wit is worth preserving. 1 was speaking to him of Dr. James new book and said that it was brilliant, but not clear. Like his father said MT. HowellS. who wrote the Secret of Swedenborg" and kept it."

The Lazy Moodpecke

WOodpeckerS are lhr SittteSt stay in beds of all the American lirlS, while robins are among those who stay up latest at night and get up earliest in the luorning. A New Hampshire nat uralist has made such careful observa- tiOnS of the sleep habits of native birds that he can now tell pretty closely the minute when any particular bird will become sleepy in the evening or will wake up in the morning.
 By timing, day after day. the last notes heard from various birds and by listening in the morning for their chirps and calls he has found that their sleep habits are very regular. though in the busy months of spring household responsibilities they are apt to get up earlier than at other seasons.
 On the average. downy woodpeckers were not heard from after half an hour before sunset and pileated woodpeck- CTS after an hour before sunset. They slept in the morning until ten or twen- ty minutes after sunrise. in contrast 10 the robin. which is mp more than an hour before sunrise. and the wood pewee, which is up an hour and half before sunup.
 The robins, pewees and thrushes, he found, generally retired for the night about half an hour after sunset. so the woodpeckers usually took two or three hours more sleep than the pewees or the robins.-Saturday Evening Post.

Influenza In Every Land.

Legion are the names that the dread cd flu hus been called by those that have fallen under it's magic spell.
 No country will acknowledge that its shores are the birthplace of the flu tiend, and the following are a few of the names given this unowned disease.
 In Russia it is called Siberian fever and in Siberia Chinese fever. The people of Brazil know it by the name of polka fever. or zamporina. La grippe" is the term generally in use in France; also ''la coquette" and Span ish catarrh.
 Germans define it as "schafkrank- heit' (sheeps disease). "Malattia te- desca" German sickness) is the epithet in use in Italy, while Spariards name it "inf1uencia rusa" and ''trancazo" Ca blow with bar).
 Very apt is the Swedish definition "snufsjuka'' and snuff fever'

Climate and Sleep.

Climate has something to do with the amount of sleep, required by J man. In India, for instance, sleep overtnkes people at the most unexpect' ed moments. Speaking at dinner given in his honor at Simla when he gave ID the post of finance member of the council, Sir Guy Fleetwood Wilson recalled his first budget statement be fore the council 'The day was ab- normally hot and close. even for Cal cutta in summer time. Partly owing to the heat, but partly no doubt owing to the wearisome effect of my first at tempt at Oratory, one by one every sin, gle member present went to sleep, and it is the simple truth that after awhile I actually fell asleep myself in the course of the delivery of my state ment." This surpaSses the feat of the late Duke of DevOnshire, who paused in the middle of his maiden speech in parliament to yawn.

Building a House In France.

It is unusual for n house. however small, to he erected in France without the service of an architect, who not only draws the plans, but actually su' perintends the work. Usually 1t is he who orders the building material and assures himself that its quality is ulI to the specifications and requirements The contractor and his workmen per form their duties in conformity with the architect's orders. and the latter, who Is usually man with capital. ad vances the funds required in order that the contractor need not wait for payment until the building is complet ed. Moreover. the French law i'm poses on the architect a serious rr. sponsibility, since he as well as the contractor is responsible for all de. fleets of construction during a period of ten years.

Sleep Curiosities.

One of the curious facts brought to light by the scientists who are fond Of trying to solve the mystery of sleep is that when one is fast asleep some part of his brain or several parts of it may at the same time be awake. A man may walk. talk. sing or solve mathematical problems and yet at the same time be safely ill the land of nod
 Another curious fact about sleep is that the further the part of the body is away from the brain the less sound ly it sleeps. A touch on the toe will awaken one much more readily than Il t0uciI on the shoulder.
