HOURS FOR SLEEP. )Inny of ymi are suffering from the effects of insufficient sleep. Never go by rules published in books, rules are made to be broken. All sorts of rhymes have been penned by poets on the subject of sleep; most of the rhymes eurl thus——" And ten hours’ sleep for a fool.” As I always like ten hours I don’t agree with ‘he poet. The desire for early morning tea. shows that the brain is not really tested, but “weds some stimulant to wake. it out of its torpor.

STUDY YOUR CHILDREN. A parent undertakes a great mspousi‘ biilty when the education of the child is in question. It is not\ right to leave everything to the school » master. Fathers and mothers shoul-l study their children closely. All chil dron aro different, and the great oppmu tuuity of the parent arises out of the ‘obviouw circumstance that tho mother only has a few children, while the master has a score or two. The mother can give to her child the individual attention that is~ impossible in :1 large school. A mother :hould check the first sigma of bad temper or any defect that she notices. An only vhild is often sel~l liFh. and the pursuits should he on thoi!‘ lgunrd. Ar. thr- iuesvnt time ii is not even recognisnrl that there is such a I thing as the study of Children.
