Kegnlar Hours for Sleep.
The final word of physiology to the stu
nt Is not to turn night Into day, una lo
(ever subtract irom a uue measure oi
dfcep. No ono needs regular nnd full
hpiirsof sleep more than tho brain worker,
a believe wo lose nothing by taking uino
fcsurs of sleep; no ono can do sound und
fcjuntlful thinking with less than seven
or eight hours. Wo aro creatures of
habit. It is all important that tho young
h taught tho need of regularity. Wo
become sleepy at regular hours, if wo
habitually take sleep promptly when tho
hour comes. Sleeplessness is brought
lout by Irregularity. So, again, if we
frdnct from tho regular hours given to
eep, it becomes dillieult to sleep at all.
Drugs compel it for a time, but no drug
exists which gives normal sleep, or fails,
It time, to make us its slave. Natural
icon can come only by a natural process,
light, let it be understood, is not, and is
jever, tho tinio for study.
JTho vory best rulo is to study In tho
orning. before breakfast, before noon;
slid again, if necessary, before tho third
eal; but never in the evening. Tho
iter hours of the day should bo given to
ort, to light reading, und to those occu
pations that relax tho nerves. Let no

When polishing shoes a gentle brush

CRYSTALLIZATION OF FRUIT3.

porters, paying fancy price for tho pro
duet. The process is ipiito simple. I'hn
theory Is to extract the Juice from the
fruit and replace it with augur syrup,
which, upon hardening, preserves the
fruit from decay and at tlio same time
retains the natural shac of the fruit
All kinds of fruit ure capable of Is'ing

j importance, which is at that at ago when
I fruit is U'st for canning. Peaches, tears.

CAiming; plums, cherries, etc., are pitted
The iruit having thus been carefully
prepared is then put in a basket or bucket
i with a perforated bottom and Immersed

dilute and extract the jui e of the fruit
j Tlio length of time the fruit is Immersed
I is t lie most immrtaut part of the process.
I It left too long it is overcooked and be
comes soft; if not immersed long enough,

j the sugar. After tho fruit bus Usui thus
j scalded und allowed to cool, it can again
I bo assorted as to softness. Tlio next step
: is the sirup, which is iiiudo of white
sugar and water. The softer the fruit,
the heavier the sirup required. Ordinar

The fruit is t lieu placed in earthen pans
and covered with sirup, where it is left to
remain ubout a week. The sugar enters
the fruit and displaces what Juice ro
Uiained after the scalding process.
Tho fruit now requires careful watch
ing, as fermentation will soon take place,
and when this has reached a certain stage
the fruit mid sirup is heated to a boiling
degn-e, which checks the ferment at ion
Tills healing process should lie refuted
as often us necessary for ubout six weeks.
Tho fruit is then taken out of tho sirup
and washed In clean water, und is then
ready to Im either glared or crystallized,
as the operator may wish. Ifglaecd, the
fruit is dipped in thick sugar sirup and
left to harden quickly In ohu air. If it
la to bo crystallized, dip in the sumo kind
of sirup, lull is made to cool and harden
slowly, thus causing tho sugar which
covers the fruit to crystallize. Tho fruit
Is now ready for boxing and shipping.
