In this 'théy diner from all om»:- big'fls. which invariablyfileep the body during these long periods of unconsciousness, one would have supposed that a recumbent posture. In the case of both these animals, was imperative. Cattle and their kin commonly sleep lying down, and during many hours of the day they lie_<_lown, as when chewing the cud. More curious still, bats and other creatures invariably sleep hanging head downwards, suspended by their hind feet. The same strange habit Strange Sleopng Habits of Animals and Birds. The majority of mankind sleep lying upon the right or left side of the body. and with the knees drawn up toward the chin. Certain Afri- can tribes. however. lie upon the back, with the back of the neck resting on a bar or wood supported on two short pillars. The elephant apparently invaria- bly, and the horse commonly, sleep standing. This is really astonish- ing.

But since all living things, plants as well as animals, display periodical states of quies- cence, perhaps we shall be near the truth in regarding sleep as univer- sal among living things. In the case of plants, it is enforced by darkness. save in the case of many bacteria and fungi, which, like evil deeds, grow under the cover of darkness. As a rule, darkness induces sleep. W’ith many animals, however, the reverse is the caseâ€"as with the bats and owls. This reversalof the usual order has been brought about by the nature of the feeding habits. as “side-necked tortoises.” Longr legged birds. like storks and gulls. sleep while resting only on one leg. Ducks generally sleep on Open water. And to avoid drifting shorewards, and therefore into the danger zone. they keep constantly paddling with one foot, so that the body is always circling round the chosen sleeping area. The sloths sleep suspended by their feet. and the. head tucked in between the fore- legs. The no less remarkable Afri- can p0ttos, or slowlemurs, assume a similar pose, but they attach them- selves to a vertical. instead of a horizontal, bough, so that the body rests with the head, upward. No animal, save man, sleeps upon its back. with LL16 neat: turned taut-53:5.

At the marriage of Thetis and Pe- leus, where all the gods and goddesses met together. Discord threw on the ta- ble a “golden apple" for “the most beautiful.” Juno. Minerva and Venus put in their separate claims and. not being able to settle the point. referred the matter to Paris, who gave judg- ment to Venus. This brought on him the vengeance of Juno and Minerva. to Whose skill is attributed the fall of Troy. If All Candidates Wore White. The word “candidate” is from the Latin “candidatus.” Literally it means white robed. and it was thus called be- cause in Rome those who sought office wore glittering white togas. Fancy, f you can. all our modern Americans dressed in accordance/with their politi- cal ambitions. In some sections there would be no such thing as a dark suit of clothes. Washington would simply be one shining center of universal whiteness. “Dear Fatherâ€"l have made up my mind to set to work. Please let me know at your earliest convenience whether it was painting. architecture or music I came to Paris to study.” To illustrate his meaning he said that a certain rich man’s son after three years in Paris wrote home to his fa- ther: Forgetful. An eminent painter was once asked if he thought art students did well to go to Europe to study. He said that undoubtedly the atmosphere was more artistic in Europe than anywhere else, but that Paris as a city to study and Work in was overrated. Boissier’s High Priced Autograph. A good Boissier-Renan anecdote is told by a French paper. One day Bois- sier arrived at Renan’° home with a beaming face. saying ‘Now I‘ll tell you a piece of news that will humiliate you. My autograph has fetched a high- er price than yours." “That does not surprise me.” Ilenan said serenely. “And where did you bear this?” It then turned out that at an auction 3 day or two before a Renan autograph had been sold for 3 francs and a Bois- sier for 5. “Well." Renan went on. “now let me tell you the reason. There were three faults in the spelling of your letter. which is now lying here on my writing table. A friend of mine was at the auction and made a higher bid for the letter after noticing the ar- tificial gems that adorned your prose. He brought it to me, in order that I might return it to you instead of its reaching the public. which might get a bad impression of the accomplish- ments of members of the French acad- emy.” Here. along the eastern coast. he Will find prosperous towns with fine har- bors and wharves, spacious streets and magnificent residences. sch00ls and churches. electric light and ample wa- ter supplyâ€"all the luxuries. in fact. of a Eurouean city.
