when Miss I)ay camo to tho hospital,
the superintendent told her that Mc-

been performed on him and It had not
been successful.
He is very anxious to see you,"
said the superintendent.
"Does he know about his condi-
tion?"
"Not yet; we have not told him.
Miss Day went at once to the sol-
diers bedside, and found him weak,
but perfectly conscious.
"I am glad you have come," he said.
"I want to ask If you will write a
letter for me. There was a comrade
of mine shot down at Santiago, and
before he died ho made me promise
that I would send a message to bis

He drew a paper form hia shirt "I

they get. ni write to her myself

spoke. He died that night.—Cleve-

How Habits Affect Sleep.
Habits play an Important part in our
Jaily life habits, for Instance, of
drumming, tapping the foot, sniffing,
pulling the whisker, "pushing tho
face," pulling out the watch every few
minutes and scratching to relieve an
itch.
The latter, say nerve specialists, is
among those most difficult to conquer
If we can restrain the desire to scratch
every time we feel an Itching sensa
tlon we shall have made a distinct ad
vance in control of our nerves, and we
will find that In a short time the itch
ing Itself will lessen.
Science has lately discovered that if
a person masters theso habits, which
tend to nervous breakdown, ho will
acquire the power of whatever posi-
tion he assumes, and will find himself
falling asleep In a quarter of the ac-
customed time. He will feel more
energetic the next day and perform
his work better.

very small, but are sufficiently well
developed to give the tongue a feel-
ing of roughness. In the fiercest ani-
mals. such as the lion or tiger, these
spines are frequently found projecting
up for an eighth of an inch or more,
with very eLarp points or edges
While the mouth is relaxed the tongue
Is soft and smooth, but when the ani-
mal is excited the spinea become rigid.

The
Agnostic 8quelched.
Rev. Dr. A. c. Dixon, the American
preacher filling Spurgeon's famous pul-
pit In London's Metropolitan tab-
ernacle, quoted Spurgeon, in his part
of that new symposium book, "What
Happens After Death?" in this happy
fashion: Spurgeon was quoting an
English pastor who had preached on
the Immortality of the soul, and who
was approached by one of his parish-
ioners who told him that ho did not
believe in such teaching. ' There is
no difference." this parishioner said,
'between the man and the dog."
"Well." replied the preacher, ' I really
thought that I waa furnishing food for
People who had aouls, if I had known
that there was a dog among them I
would hare brpi^t booes fcr kim."
How About Your Manners.
Mauners are of the head and fho
heart. Perfect manners can bo only
of both, becauso occas' -ns there must
bo in social life when the heart Is not
a sufficient guide.
A clever person with little or n
heart may be better mannered, as a
rule, If he takes pains than a goo I
natured person with little or no head;
but when he falls, an he Is pretty surr
o fall some time, his selfishness or ir
rit.ition betraying hi;n, he falls with *
thud.
Scant Praise for Verdi's Music.
An English critic said of Rigoletto
when it reached London In 1853 -
"There is little offensive music la
Itigoletto; tho ears ar« seldomer
stunned than in most of the com-
poser's other works and there Is, wo
fancy, less pretense In the writing.
Nevertheless Verdi's sins aro apparent
In every scene. Poverty of id«a*, an
eternal effort at originality—never ao-
rompllshed—strange and odd r leasee,
lack of coloring, and a perpetual p-xag-
ger in the dramatic effects, are unmia-
takably true Verdi. Yet there are lira
—melodies If you will—in Rigoletto.
which are aure to find favor with tbo
barrel organs."
