Position During SIeep.

The main object of sleep is that
every organ Of the body should have
perfect rest. The brain, the lungs and
the heart have been, not inappropriate
ly, called the "tripod Of life" as upon
them hangs the prosperity of the
frame; hence we slightly raise the
head to check the How OF blood to the
brain and more or less quickly find out
the position of greatest ease for lungs
and heart.
This will be found BY sleeping for
the greater part Of the time on the
right side, for nearly tvo-thirds Of the
heart is on the left Of the medal line
and the apex points closely to the
smaller left lung; hence the fullesj
and freest play possible should BE-
given TO the left side.

Experience Tells

The other day a travelling
salesman tried to sell me a new
Talking Machine. He claimed TO
have the best machine on the mar
ket, and he did have good ore.
| | told him that If he could beat the
Brunswick | would take on his
Agency.
We tried out various high-claSS
records, first on his machine then
on the BrunSwick-Records made
by CaruSo, CALI Curci, Alma
Gluck, and others Neither of us
could detect any difference until
we tried out Piano Record. Then
he acknowledged that had him
beaten.
always knew that the BrnnS-
wick was good machine, but |
did not know how really good il
was until we made this very exact
ing test.
say now, and unreservedly, to
any man or woman who is con-
templating buying a Talking Ma
chine, that they are making a mis-
tate if they buy before trying out
the Brunswick. ,
Ii may not be as loud as some
other machine, still no one wants
a brass band in the average sized
room; but if you have ear for tone.
if you want perfect reproduction,
the Brunswick will certainly be
your choice.
II gets its marvellous sweetness
of tone from the fact that the sound
amplifier is entirely made OF wood,
and everyone knows that there has
never been any question of the
fact that wood is the only sub
Stance that will properly care Tor
the vibration caused by all musical
instruments. Its reproduction OF
Piano Records is absolutely per-
feet.
| could write about the perfect
ion OF the Brunswick machine all
| day, and still overlook something,
but proof of The pudding Is In the
eating.
All that | ask is that before yon
finally decide to buy Talking
Machine just let me give you a
thorough demonstration of the
Brunswick.

The Watch Had Stoned.

A pompous army surgeon who was
sent to recruiting depot in Scotland
to examine some newly enlisted mer
had such an abrupt and overbearine
manner that he frightened some Of the
recruits. One nervous young man
was unable to answer the first question
as to his name and place Of BIRTH

doctor. whats your name, | say"

pocket, he held it to the left ear of the
recruit, saying, "Can you hear thai
ticking?"
The youth shook his head. The
watch was applied to the other ear with
the same effect, and then the doctoi
opened the vials of his indignation or
the head Of the would-be soldier.
"What do you mean be enlisting when
you are stone-deaf? Why, you can't
even hear the ticking Of a watch when
it's held within an inch OF the drum

And then the worm turned.
"She's ma gaun," said the recruit
finding his tongue at last.
When the doctor, holding the watch

stopped, his feelings were too powerful
to be expressed in words, extensive
though his vocabulary ordinary was.

Animals Sleep.

Animals and birds have curious ways
of taking repose-ways which would
seem very strange indeed were they
to be followed by boys and girls. Birds
usually sleep with their heads turned
tailward over the back and the beak
thrust back beneath the wing, but
storks, gulls and other long-legged birds
sleep standing on one leg. The owl
has an eye screen in addition to eyelids
and this he draws across the eye to
shut out the light, for this bird, of
course sleeps in the day time. Ducks

WHY HE BUILT A BRIDGE.

An old man. going a lone highway.
Came at the evening. cold and gray,
To chasm vast and deep and wide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim,
The >sullen stream had no fear for him;
But he turned when safe on the other side
And built bridge to span the tide.
"Old man." said fellow-pilgrim near,
"You are wasting your strength with build
ing here;
Your journey will end kith the ending day
You never again will pass this way;
You've crossed the chasm deep and wide,
Why build you this bridge at evening
tidei"
The builder lifted his old gray head.
Good friend, in the path I've come" he
said,
There followeth after me to-day
youth whose feet must pass this way;
This chasm that has been as naught to me,
To that fair haired youth may pitfall be;
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim
Good friend, I'm building this bridge for
him.
