A good. wide, open mouthed yawn Is a sph-ndld thing for the whole laxly. A yawn la nature's demand for rest. Home people think they only yawn tie cause they are sleepy. Hut this Is not ao. You yawn because you are tired. You may tie sleepy also, but that Is not the real cause of your yawning. You are sleepy because you are tired, and you yawn because you are tired. Whenever you feel like yawning Just yawn. Don't try to suppress It lie- cause you tbink It ia liupolitc’ to yawn. I ’ut your hand over your moutb If you want to. but let the yawn come. And If you are where you can stretch at the same time that you yawn Just stretch and yawn. This is nature’s way of stretching nnd relaxing the musclea. Don’t be afraid to opeu your moutb wide and yawn and stretch whenever you feel like It. Indeed. If you are very tired, but do not feel like yawn ing. there Is nothing that will rest you so quickly as to alt on a straight back chair and. lifting your feet from the floor. push them out In front of you as far as possible, stretch the arms, put the head back, open the moutb wide and make yourself yawn. Those tense nerves will relax, the contracted musclea wlU stretch and the whole body will be rested. Do this two or three times when you are tired, and see wbat It will do for you. Do you know that the siphon bottls ordinarily used for vlchy, soda wuter and other effervescent drinks la usually charged with a pressure of from 120 to 100 pounds to tbe square Inch? The danger likely to result from nn explo sion of one o f these little household ar ticles Is by no means Inconsiderable, ami yet the average person handles » siphon as though It were the most burmless thing in tbe world. There are two or three things to re member in handling siphons: Never keep your siphons near the range, for the unusual heat is more likely than anything else to cause an explosion. Don't subject the bottle to any sudden eliunge of temperature whatever. For Instance, If you keep your siphons In the Ice liox—and that I* tbe best and suicst place for them—don’t grasp the glass part of the bottle with your warm hand, for the sudden change of temper ature Is apt to cause an explosion. The best way to carry a siphon at all time* is by the metal top at the bead of the bottle. It Is needless to say the great est care should be taken not to drop a siphon, for an explosion is tbe inev itable result. When empty, tbe siphon Is, of course, quite harmless. That these bottles are considered a gTeat source o f danger Is evidenced by the fact that the courts Inevitably hold the bottlers strictly liable for all dam ages resulting from the explosion of one of them if even the slightest defect In the manufacture of the bottle can be shown.—Washington Time*. O rig in of th e lliiw rr y . Even many native New Yorkers do not know bow the Bowery came by its name, according to the Pittsburg Dis patch. which thus proceeds to tbelr en lightenment: No less a person than the famous old one legged Governor Peter Htuyvesant was responsible for It. When the city o f New Amsterdam sprang Into existence many farmers from Holland came over to seek their fortune In the new world, among them old Peter. They settled outside the town and proceeded to develop the land by clearing away tbe woods »nd planting It with grain, fruit trees and ornamental shrubs they had brought with them. Peter Htuyvesant called his residence and grounds tbe Bon- werie, and the lane connecting It with New Amsterdam became known as Bouwerle lane, the aettlement Itself taking the name o f Bouwerte village. Htuyvesant'a farm extended from the Junction o f what is now Third and Fourth avenues to Seventeenth street and eastward to Second avenue, where at the corner o f Tenth street his home was located.
