The Girl That Counts.

There are cloudy days and days Of
sunshine. The cloudy days have their
limitations; for certain conditions they
are acceptable and we welcome the
gray sky, the heavy rains. But the
day Of sunshine has no limitations;
1t is always welcome, always JOY bear

laborer, the weary, all hail the day Of
sunbeams, and this is just what hap
pens to the girl who scatters sunshine.
The gloomy girl is given standing
room, but the girl who leaves a ray of
sunshine everywhere Is the girl that
everyone welcomes. The girl who
works with smile, the girl who looks
on the bright side, who always has
CHEEKY word, who can find time to take

word of sympathy to the one in need
lin short, the girl who can transform
50 dness into gladness, by the force Of
her sunny presence, is the girl that

PecuIiaritles Of Sleep.


A person absolutely without sleep
for nine days will die. Sufferers from
insomnia sometimes maintain that they
have gone for weeks without sleep, but
1t has been proved that they actually
sleep without being aware of it. At
q certain point sleep is inevitable, no
matter what the bodily condition, the
alternative being death. A method Of
tanning wild elephants is said to be
that Of depriving the animals of sleep
when first caught. In few days they
become practically spiritless and harm.

to be more highly developed than that
of any other wild animal; but, of
course, as compared with human
brain, can be easily fatigued by new
impressions, and so made dependent
on sleep.
