THE TRUTH ABOUT ENVY,

like to see the flowers grow,
To see the pansles in q row,
I think well-kept gardens fine,
And wish that such a one were mine,
But one can't have a stock of flowers
Unless he digs and digs for hours.
My ground Is always bleak and bare,
The roses do not flourish there,
And where l once sOwed poppy seeds
Is now a tangled mass of weeds.
I'm fond Of flowers, but 1 admit,
For digging don't care a bit.
I envy men whose yards are gay,
But never work as hard as they;
| also envy men who own
More wealth than l have ever known.
Pm like lot of men who yearn
For joys that they refuse to earn.
You cannot have the joys OF work
And take the comfort of shirk,
I find the man l envy most
Is he, who's longest at his post.
I could have gold and roses, too,
II would work, like those who do.

"Deep Rest and SWeet''

N A BOOK by Robert Alexander Wa
 son, called The Dog, the Child and S the Ancient Sailor Man" he speaks somewhere of sleep enough to bore a mummy"
 That is what great many nervous, overwrought, temperamental people, need, however. more than anything else in the world.
 They speak pathetically of needing a change, or taking the rest cure but what their exhausted system really needs IS the sleep cure,'' yet they'll do every thing else under the sun except go to bed, close their eyes, relax their bodies and minds and gently fall asleep! They have never acquired the sleeping habit, for sleeping is a habit, just as much as anything else that folk do frequently and automatically until it becomes second na- ture
 Any professional nurse will tell you that to make your baby tranquil healthy, happy baby, the child should spend many of it's waking hours out of doors, while the sleeping nursery should be a cool, quiet, room, apart from the general noise and confusion of the household, and wholly without artifical light.
 Surely if babies who are supposed to have no nerves need such favorable conditions to promote health and tran quility of spirit, how much more men and women upon whom rest the heat and the burdens of busy days!
 few people retire to bed to sleep, while large percentage regard their couches as places where in bodily com fort they can think over all the compli- cated problems of their lives; by the time they have turned those problems in- side out and considered them with in- creasing heaviness of spirit they are wide awake, completely discouraged, staring at the ceiling and counting the hours chimed by the old grandfather clock on the stairs.
 A very distinguished statesman of my acquaintance was once asked by a friend with reference to a matter of con siderable interest, but very little in- portance, What do you think?' He quickly replied q don't think" This great man had evidently learned the les son early in life, which few of us ever learn, and that is. that we think too much about unimportant and incense quential things.
 But you can't throw aside the vital responsibilities of individual life, some one suggests. Certainly not; but you can't do anything at a. n.: you can't even think anything creditable to your reason at that ungodly hour-so why think at all? Far better sleep and re- fresh your brain for day time thinking, when you can convert your conclusions into actions.
 Another thing; besides wooing slunber in restful environment those who know, direct us to shut our eyes; and # you We tried it, those who suffer with that dread disease, insomnia, you know it does make all the difference in the
