more comfortable and that not tnfre-

modified if not held quite In check.
1t is Indispensable. of course. that
the occupation should not only be
adapted to the ability of the patient,
but of a nature to interest him and
furnish the physical exercise which he
needs. : Neither must he pursue 1T
during the more or less frequent
periods In which such pursuits would
be Injurious.
In other words. the occupation is
medicine to be prescribed only by g
competent physician and administered
under his careful supervision.

Why the Stars Twinkle

= : they do not twinkle at an. The
stars are really suns that throw ont
light just as our sun lights the. earth.
When the rays Of light from the
Etars strike the air which surrounds
the earth they have to pierce many
little particles which are always
floating about In the atmosphere. It
Is this interference between US ana

appearance Of twihkline.
