All Sorts of Odd Postures, From

Sleep Indeed Is « "gentle tiling.” It
Is the supreuiest form of rent Our
notions of rent during sleep, however,
are likely to tie 11 little upset when we
come to survey the different postures
assumed by various animals during
sleep.
To begin with the human race. The
majority of mnultlnd probably sleep
lying upon the right or left Hide of the
body and with the knees drawn up
toward the chin. But certain African
tribes, for example, lie upon the back
with the head, or rather the back of
ithe neck resting on a bar of wood sup-
Uiorted on two abort pillars.
The elephant, apparently Invnriably.
and the horse commonly sleep stand
ing. This is really astonishing. Aside
from the apparent difficulty of main
taining the balance of the body dur
ing these long perlodH of unconscious
ness. one would have supposed that a
recumbent position In the ease of both
these animals was imperative. Cuttle
and their kind commonly sleep lying
down and during many hours of the
•day they lie down, as when chewing
the cud. ,
More curious still there are creatures
which Invariably sleep banging bead
downward suspended by tbelr hind
feet. The bats afford a case In point.
Among the birds we meet with the
same strange habit In the little hang
ing parrots of India and the Malayan
region.-' tin this they differ from all
. other birds, which invariably sleep
with the bend turned tallward over
: the back and the beuk thrust In among
the feathers between the wing and the
body, not under the wing, as is com
monly believed. No explanation tms
ever been offered to account, for this
strange habit. It Is followed even by
the penguins, wherein the feathers are
so short as to full completely to cover
even thd back. Owls are. perhaps, the
ouly exception to the rule.
And. by the way.,the only other ani
mals which thus tifrn tile head back
ward after this fashion during sleep
are certain peculiar tortoises known
ns "side necked” tortoises. Certain
birds sleep while resting on one leg.
This curious pose Is well seen in long
legged birds like storks and gulls.
Ducks generally sleep on open water,
and to avoid drifting southward, and
therefore into the danger zone, they
keep constantly paddling with one
foot, so that the body always is cir
cling round the-chosen sleeping area.
The sloths sleep suspended by their
feet and the bead tucked iu between
African potton, or slow lemurs, assume
a similar pose, but they attach them
selves to a vertical Instead of a bort-
sontal bough, so that the body rests
with the head upward. No animal
save nmn sleeps on his back.
Some animals are said never to sleep
and this because the eyes are never
closed The Imres, snakes and fishes
are commonly supposed to enjoy this
unenviable distinction. The notion ts.
however, ipilte erroneous. Whale and
their kin are often limited us sleepless
creatures. It Is supposed that If they
made this mistake they would prompt-
ly drown!
As h rule darkness Induces sleep.
With many animals, however, the re
verse Is the case, ns with tne bats and
owls, for example. This reversal of
the usual order has tieerx brought
about by the nnlnrv if tfie feeding
till bits.
Finally .me comes to the question.
Where does sleep begin? This ts by
no means easily answer**! One Is In
clined to draw the line at the Insects.
But alnee all living things—plants as
well as animals—display periodical
states of quiescence, perhaps we shall
he near the truth In regarding sleep
as universal among living things, in
the case of plants It Is enforced by
darkness, save In the ease- of many

deeds, grow .under the cover of duck-

Qtf&n&on
Is it possible there is a woman in this country who con
tinues to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound a trial after all the evidence that is con
tinually being published, which proves beyond contradic
tion that this grand old medicine has relieved more suffer
ing among women than any other one medicine in the world ?
We have published in the newspapers of the United States
more genuine testimonial letters than have ever been pub
lished in the interest of afiy other medicine for women—
and every year we publish many new testimonials, all gen
uine and true. Here are three never before published:
From Mrs. S. T. Richmond, Providence, R. I.
Providence, R. I.—“ For the benefit of women who suffer as I have
done I wish to state what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
has done for me. I did -some heavy lifting and the doctor said it
caused a displacement. I have always been weak and I overworked
after my baby was born and inflammation set in, then nervous pros
tration, from which I did not recover until I had taken Lydia E. I^nk-
ham’s vegetable Compound. The Compound is my best friend and
when I hear of a woman with troubles like mine I try to induce her
to take your medicine.”—Mrs. S. T. Richmond, 199 Waldo Street,
Providence, R. L
A Minister’s Wife Writes:
Cloquet, Minn. — “I have suffered very much with irregularities,
pain and inflammation, but your wonderful medicine, Lydia E. I mk-
ham’s Vegetable Compound, has made me well and I can recommend
the same to all that are troubled with these complaints.”—Mrs. Jen
nie Akerman, c/o Rev. K. Akerman, Cloquet, Minnesota.
From Mrs. J. D. Murdoch, Quincy, Mass.
South Quincy, Mass.—The doctor said that I had organic trouble
and he doctored me for a long time and I did not get any relief. I
saw Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound ad
vertised and I tried it and found relief before I had
finished the first bottle. I continued taking it all
through middle life and am now a strong, healthy
woman and earn my own living.”—Mrs. Jane D.

Good Judgment.
Take H aofn pillow In one hand. Bal
ance It enrefully until you think you
have a wight aenae of Its weight. Hold
n large glass In the other baud and
have aoine one poor wuter luto It until
you think it wetgba about aa much us
the pillow. Then weigh the two and
*oe how far out of the wny you ure.
Or tnke a tip In one band and pnt In
the other iih many coins- aa you think
may be needed to hnl a nee It You wtll
find your judgment fur from correct.
Take two atone Jars. FWJ one with'
hot water und the'other with cold andl
ask n friend to any which' la ttbe heav
ier of the two. The bottle with hot
water will seem 25 per cent! heavier.
Take three articles weighting the
same. Put one on the groundl-one on
a table and one on a high shelf! Aak
a friend to lift them nnfl determine
which of the three Is the henvlestl lie
will pick the one on the shelf aw Otar
one wMeb weighs the most every tlmw
The laws of Illusion in weight' are
quite exact, and It Is marvelbus th' nee
wbat a large proportion of ..people wllll
make exactly the same mistake Imex 1
aetly tbe same wny. Thus the pillow
seen,* lighter than It Is because Its ap
pearance suggests lightness. Of two.
simitar weights the one that Is the lar

Any eftainge from normal tempera

The extra exertion needed to sustain

Vibration and Nitroglycerin Form a
Perilous Combination.
An accident, said to be the most ex
traordinary on record, occurred at
some oil fields In the Baku district ot
Russia, on the borders of the Cusplan
sen. One of tile big “gusher” oil wells
became choked, and. wlth'n view of
blowing It clenr, a number of Iron
drums full of nitroglycerin were
brought down by rail from Derbend
and deposited overnight Ip a largo shed
•which was used by tho men as a sort of
canteen, ,
The steward of this establishment, a
Greek named Darios, opened one of the
drums for some reason best known, to
himself nn.1 decanted n small qunntlty
of the dangerous liquid Into a long,
thin glass used for mixing vodka. This
he placed on a shelf behind the bar.
Shortly afterward there entered a
workman named Borkovltch, who was
famous for the boisterous hilarity of
his manner and especially for bis loud,
resonant laughter.
The sight of nitroglycerin in a vodka
tumbler so excited his risibility that he
gave vent to a series of stentorlun guf
faws. This set the half filled glass
“ringing.” and the treacherous con
tents immediately exploded.
The concussion sufficed. In Its turn, to
explode the rest of the stuff In the
drums, entirely demolishing the shed
and killing five persons, all who were
In it at the time. The barman escaped
through having gone down Into the cel
lar Just previously, whence he distinct
ly heard the laughter, followed by the
musical "tinging" of the thin tumbler
and the two explosions.—Pearson's
Weekly.
Expansion.
A very stout fellow once presented
himself to Sir Francis Burdett and
asked him If he bad a situation to give
him.
“I dp not know you," said Sir Fran
els, looking at him.
"Why, have you forgotten me?" said
tho fellow. "I was formerly a page la
your (louse.”
“My dear boy," said the baronet,
“you have become a volume!"—Pear
son’s Weekly.
