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. The
latter seem to inherit a sense that di­
rects them what is beat for their body

and nonpoisonous foodstuffs —Commis­

Some time afterward Mrs. Ingnun,

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.

Conscription originated In France in
1708. 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. Prussia, however, still fur­
