They Ge a Leng Wey Towerd Building Up Good Health. Regular habits for retiring must be considered as one of the best methods for securing good sleep. The human Laxly has a wonderful periodicity in all its «i»ontaueous ac tions, and by studying these much of the machinery of health may be made to work smoothly. Witness one habit of waklug at a certain hour to which we have been ac customed. Regularity in eating is moat impor tant for health. The digestive tract will respond at regular times Just as other habits will repeat themselves. Proper food properly digested will do much for one's health and happiness. I It is a mistake to eat too much. We should try and enjoy our meals by paying attention to the taste of food. Do not gulp it down. It should be masticated and tasted so as to stim ulate those nerves which reflect their sense on the other nerves controlling the glands of digestion. When you feel indigestion after eat ing a meal note the ingredients eaten and should it repeat Itself try to con vict the guilty food and dismiss it from your dietary. Don't make eating a task, but make it a pleasure, to that the food will di gest and be assimilated and applied to the different necessities of the activi ties of life. Youth demands a greater variety and quantity of food than does old ags and especially does it require more protein and meat. I Learning what foodstuffs best ault la one of the great educational tasks man has before him, for he no longer has the intuition of the lower animals.

Some time afterward Mrs. Ingnun, the hunter's mother, sent out an expe dition to find and bring back to Eng land the remains of her son. The spot was found, but two rainy seasons had passed, and the dry nullah had becoue a roaring river that had washed awiy the remains to the four points of the earth. Thus was the prophecy fulfilled. in the green vaults of the porte lies bidden away what is perhaps the great est treasure in the world, collected for centuries by Turkey's greedy rulers and hoarded away from the gaze of any inquisitive mortal. No one haB ever been able to estimate the value of the sultan's jewels, for the treasures are guarded by day and night. There are at least twelve seta of heavily bar red doors to pass before the actual en trance is readied to this Aladdin’s cava For every lock there are two keys, intrusted to as many custodians, each having twenty-four guards. These are supposed to spy on each other, as well as protect the guardians of the keys. The green vaults of Constatio, as the treasure caves are called, are within the grounda of the porte. Approached through a court called Dar-es-So'adet— the court of felicity—it is seen to be a low domed edifice with an Interesting doorway, enriched with marbles and tiles. The jewels appear to consist mainly of set and unset precious stones. All Information regarding them, however, Is kept secret because of the impover ished condition of the country, and if the exact amount of the sultan's wealth were discovered certain unscrupulous leaders might be tempted to “break in and steal.” The gossipers of Constan tinople say, however, that If a person offered £600,000,(J00 for the green vaults and secured their contents he would make a great bargain. Perhnps the throne of beaten gold, udorned with millions of rubies, pearls, diamonds, sapphires and emeralds set In mosaic, is the most dazzling object in the treasury of the "Shadow of God on Earth.” How Selim I. ever brought it from Persia away back in the fif teenth century, when traveling was so difficult, is quite beyond human com prehension. Nowhere in the world are there pre cious stones to compare with the two great emeralds which adorn the top of the sultan's throne. One of them weighs four pounds aud is as big as a man's band, the other being a trifle smaller. On a table of ebony and sandalwood, witbin reach of the throne, stands a marvelous golden tankard Incrusted with 4,000 diamonds. By Its side lies a platter wrought of the purest gold and literally veneered with diamonds. On the ground surrounding this daz zling site are scattered thousands of rubies, pearls, turquoises and emeralds mingled with exquisitely carved dia Don’t Shut Yourself Up In an Office. mond buttons.

At that time the country had just passed through the long and bloody war of the French revolution, which the monarchs of Europe had banded together to crush. France, un der Napoleon, had come forth victori ous, but her army was exhausted, and it was evident that some new system of recruiting would be necessary, as volunteer enlistment no longer sufficed. It was then that General Jourdan brought forth and passed the law es tablishing conscription. Since then it has been the basis of all French mili tary legislation and, to a certain ex tant, of that of all other countries. It was through the terrible power of conscription that Napoleon was enabled to carry on the glgantlo wars which characterised hie reign and by means of It, after losing In the snows of Rus sia the largest army that up till that time had ever been put into the field, to reappear a few months later with another army almost aa large. Out of necessity the other nations were forced to follow France's exam ple, and conscription became general. Under the French reglv.e every cltl- sen between the ages of twenty and twenty-five was liable to service for five years.
