Feb. 11,1891, If i ck, .... Store Sleep for Women. We see much in the papers now-alays, says a recent writer, about tb?> act that insantiy is very prevalent imong women of farmers' homes. This is accounted for in many ways -"overwork," "monotonous exisence," and occasionally some wise lien say "too little sleep." If women vho have to work for farm hands, if vumen who carry on heavy house vork year in and year out, would deiberately make up their minds to ake a mid-day nap,, they would find n the long run that they could do nore and better work, and come out >f hard work with better nerve than f they tried to work every minute of he day. The few minutes of dayight sleep will come back laden wilh nan i fold riches of strength. It is useless for a woman to say she :annot sleep in daytime. If any one vlll lie down quietly and close the syes one-half hour per day, at the lame ti me every uay iur uvu ?ccna, here will be no trouble about, not beng able to sleep in daytime. For nany people the half hour per day is lufficient rest to help keep good itrength all day. The sleep at night vill be all the better for it, because he nerves will not be so worn and ,ired as to make one restless. No one :an make a rule that will apply to ev;ry one as to the proper amount of ileep necessary ; but one thing Is sure -auv woman had better err on the lide of too much sleep than run any isk as to wearing out her nerves, vhich working on too little sleep is mre to do. Children, too are sometimes abused >y those who love them best, by being )bliged to get up to breakfast, whether -heir sleep is "out" or not. They will vake up of their own accord when hey have slept enough. Women do too much work in many lirecfions. They sew too much, scrub too much, and many a one leans for hard hours at a time wlren i very few minutes of care taking would have prevented the necessity 'or the cleaning. If they would take i nap in the midst of the day, and by forethought save the time from unnecissary work, they might live lougei.

"Remember, Neddy," said mamma, jne day, "always to accommodate evjry one that you can." "Yes'm," answered Neddy, heartily, "I will." And mamma felt sure he would, because Neddy is one of the best boys to remember things you ever <aw. The next day Mrs Camp called to liim as he was running down the street with his sled flying along behind him. "Neddy, Neddy! come here a minute, won't you?" Neddy heard her and stopped, though he didn't much want to. He was going over on Wilson hill coastng, and was in a great hurry; but he went up to the door where Mrs. Camp was standing, and pulled off his fur jap with a polite little bow, which pleased the lady very much. "Will you run down to the store for me, dear?" she asked. "I want n spool of twist, and 1 have no one to send." Neddy's eyes clouded up the least bit in the world, but Mrs. Camp was looking in her purse for tne ligui ihange, and didu't notice ; and before she found it, the bright sun of good nature was shining again in Neddy's jyes, and he answered uYesrm," as 2heerfully sa could be. "Thank you," said Mrs. Camp, smiling at him. Then she took a bright, new dime from her purse. "Here is something for you to buy peanuts with," said i-he, kindly, "and I'm ^ery much obliged, besides." But Neddy shook his head at the dime, though he liked peanuts almost as well as maple sugar, which is saying a good deal. "You're welcome as can be," said he, 'but I can't take pajj for going, Jin. Camp, 'cause you know, mamma tells me always to a-abominate every one I oat)!" Didn't Mrs. Camp laugh ! She couldn't help it, though she tried so hard that she choked, and frightened Neddy, who could not think what tiie trouble was. "Bless your dear heart!" said she, as soon as she could speak. And then she went to the corner closet and took out a litt'e pyramid of maple sugarmore than Neddy could have bought at the store with two dimes. "There," said she, "I know you like sap sugar, don't you? And this isu't pay?it's a present." ''Oh, thank you," cried Neddy, eagerly. "I'll go right home and show it to mamma!" So he did ; and Mrs. Camp sat down by her window and laughed and laughed. "Bless his dear, little, manly heart!" said she. Subtle Flattery.

A smile oi sublime satisfaction flitted across th? face of Washington. Said the visitor "Ah, General, I have won my wager.'

Hla Own Preaching It is an old and trite accusation against human nature that it is prone to enjoy rather those sermons which touch on the sins of a neighbor than those which aitac k one's own fail ings. There are, however, exceptions to this rule, people who honestly wish to be scourged into the path of right. " "No, I don't like him," said Farmer Allen, when asked his opinion of the minister. "He ain't personal enough." ? "You want to see folks squirm, do you ?" "I wan't to squirm myself. It does good. When ' he preaehes on folks bein' lukewarm and that kind of thing I don't more'n half feel it, but I've got real cryin' sins I want brought home to tne. Consequence is, now a-days, I have to preach myself.

After I spoke up sharply to Meslissy and the children, or gin the cow a kick because she wouldn't stan' round, I have to lecture myself, and say, "Ezra Allen, you're an old brute!" "Now I've had to do so much that I'm all worn out, and what I want is to pay a preacher to do it for me. If he'd really warm up to his work he could say enough in half an hour on Sunday to last me through the week. ' I'm a hard-workin' man ; I aint got the time, nor ability neither, to do my own preachin'." + Where to Pnt Him. The Fourth of July oration has not gone out of fashion, but the old-fash ~ ^ lonea iervia, nowery ouuichcs, looting sometimes an hour or more, have pretty completely given place to a more concise, if less stirring, form of oratory. Sometimes, when these oldtime orations began to be too longdrawn out, the audience did not hesitate to give signs of weariness. It is related in a Pennsylvania village that on a Fourth of July, many yeurs ago, a certain eloquent member of Congress was delivering an oration. He had rehearsed at some length the virtues and achievements of the signera of the Declaration of Independ ence, and had taken up the subject of the greatness of Washington. Working up to the full height of his eloquence, he asked : "In what place shall we put the peerless man of Mt. Vernon ? Shall we put him among the kings of earth ? No ; for he scorned their title ! "Shall we put him among the soldiers? No, for he was much more thau!soldier. "Shall we put him among the statesmen ? No; for the simplicity of his Jofty genius rose superior to tne devices of statecraft. "In what place, then, shall we put him?this peerless man?" Just then Sandy McDowell, a Scotchman, whose acquaintance with American history was possibly not much greater than his liking for American oratory, rose from his seat in the midst of the audience. "Hoot, raon!" said he; "ye can e'en putt Mm in my place 'ere, for I'm ga'n' oot!" A Dreaded Task. A task never grows smaller or lighter by sitting down and lamenting that it must be done, and there is an old maxim that teaches us that a thing "once begun is half done." A farmer friend of mine has a boy of fourteen years, named Billy, who is like a good many other boys of my acMia haart i<i heavv. and a ij uai u inut^, xaiu uvm.v v cloud immediately overspreads his ' mental horizon when he is asked to make himself useful. j "Billy," said Mr. H , one day when I was out to the farm, "why don't you go to work on that little patch of potatoes?" 1 "Aw," whined Billy, "there's so many of them taters I'll neyer get them hoed." "You won't if you don't begin soon." "I hate to begin." "How are you ever going to do the work if you don't begin ?" "Well, I'll begin pretty soon." His father walked away, and I I heard Billy exclaim, in a tone indicating great mental distress: "Plague on them old taters! It mnkna me sick to think about them." "Why <io you think about them J then ?" I said laughingly. "I've got to," be replied, dolefully., with a sorrowful shake of the heaa. "I've been thinking about them ever since I got up this morning." "How long, now, Billy, will it really take you to hoe them ?" " Well, at least an hour." "And you've been distressed about it ever since you got up?" "Well, I hate to hoe taters." "And you've been up a little more than five hours ?" "Well, I, I-" Billy began to grin, took up bis boe and said, "I never thought of tbat!" And the potatoes were hoed in just forty minutes. He doubles a task who dreads it.? Golden Days. Which Sort Are You ??This is Charles Kingsley's classification of the whole of us. He wrote it to some young meu infatuated with gambling : My Jear young men, the human race may for practical purposes be divided into three parts: 1. Honest men ; who moan to do right, cud do it. 2. Knaves; who mean to do wroug, and do it. 8. Fools; who mean to do whichever of the two is pleasanter. And these last may be divided ' again into : Black fools; who would rather do 1 wroug, but dare not, unless it is the ? fashion. White fools; who would rather do i right, but dare not, unless it is the ; fashion. I ! "Busybodies" are three times refer5 red to in the Bible, and always with * disapproval. They are persons who ' concern themselves a great deal about ' the affairs of other persons when they J have properly and rightfully nothing to do with them, and should be content to mind tneir own business.
