HOWTO INDUCE SLEEP
AVOID ALL OPIATES AND OTHER
FORMS OF “DOPE.*
Light Mesl Followed by Moderate
Exercise, Well Aired Room and
Warm Feet Usually Will Bring
Peaceful Slumber.
There ore sound hygienic methods
by which sleep may be Induced,
eurslona Into the realms of patent
medicines, opiates, end aU sorts of
slumber elixirs which ere summed up
as “dope,” should be avoided. But
the moral of this lesson has been
pointed over and over, yet little has
been said about natural methods of
wooing alaep. Dnder this head does
not come the various mental contriv
ance! such as “counting sheep'* or re
citing the multiplication table.
Oxygen Is aa necessary to tbe body
cells during the hours of eleep as at
any otbar Jims. Perhaps In the cess
of children It Is even *•»-» r—reary.
For them sleep mu..... :of
doabolltm, growth and repair. Tbe
old prejudice against open windows
■till exists, In spite of tbe campaigns
of education In tbe newspapers and
'In the schools. Duet In tbe rooms,
‘an Imaginary draft, tbe fear of colds,
and many other stupid reasons are
advanced In escuae of this pernicious
prejudice.
The organs of the body also should
be considered, and no ascasalva work
aboftld be given the heart or digestive
organa before retiring to rest High
pillows lead to an ‘ Increase In the
heart's force at a time whon the
heart should have the lightest work.
PllloWs that are too low may cause
headaches, and even sleeplessness,
through an excess of blood being In
tbe brain. Heavy late euppers are
unwise, but a light maal, followed by
sucb moderate exercise as a short
walk. Is generally conducive to sOtlnd
sleep. The light meal causes a
withdrawal of blood from tbe head
Into the etomaeb area and the body
generally. Tbe body Is therefore
warmed, end this Is Important
Cold extremities, particularly cold
feet, cause sensory stimulations,
which produce sleepleeenese. often
for hours. People who eulfer In this
way should take means to'keep thelt
l«et warm artificially by using sleep*
Ing socks, or slipper bathe, or by the
use of hot water bottles,' and by
sleeping between blankets
It la, of course, fatal to aound
eleep to go to bed "with anything on
tbe mtnd.” In these sensations! and
pleasure-loving days we often retire
to rest after receiving a tong series
of vivid sensations which often sc-
oount for hours of sleepless tossing.

OLD PURITAN BIBLE BOXES
Curious Csrved Chests for the Safe-
Keeping of Copies of the,
Scripture*.
Almost Invariably after some great
wave of religious enthusiasm, we are
confronted by strange fragments ot
salvage relicts of tho emotional pee-,
•ton end religious ardor of a departed
hour, says the Queen. Such were the
devotional carvings of the middle
ages—the triptyches, the private tab
ernacles, the beautiful little Ivory
madonnas.
Among such memorials are the vast
old Puritan Bible boxes. Cumbrous,
ancient erke, into which the revteed
version of James I. was once commit
ted for safe ward and keeping. The
sound oakboarda with which they were
made have restated the tooth of time.
In the long Journeys of the men of
the Puritan period, when the scrip
tures were part of the dally accom
paniment of life, tbe province of these
old boxes may readily be seen. With
in tbe home they were made to con
tain those ponderous family Bibles In
which, especially during tbe common
wealth, the head of the house care
fully Inscribed tbe birth, death or mar
riage of bis children with other memo-
rabllla of family Ufa. This circum
stance In the absence of other authen
tic records, end the laxity of parish
registers, has sometimes proved an In
valuable aid. How little wa could have
spared, for Instance, that volume In
which Mitten recorded the very hour
and minute of hie children's birth.
Ash wood was sometimes used In
the manufacture of Bible boxes, hut
oak was the most popular from Its
superior powers of resistance, for we
must remember they were at times in
the posteeilon of ecclesiastical stal
warts, the vigor of whose preaching
was sometimes calculated
amount of damage dons to the pnlpl
furniture.
Throughout tbe commonwealth, and
by the general convention of 1IW.
traveling ministers were gratuitously
supplied with Bibles, a very expensive
Item; and In struggling pastorates the
book, with Its appropriate coffer, often
formed the -sole effects of a new con
venticle. It Is a curious fact that
lltblee were sometimes subjected to
raining, even In'those austere days.
In 1675 one Dr. Wilde bequeathed $250
for the purpose ot providing Bibles to
be raffled among the poorer brethren.
