lowed every part of the body. A firm

M. that the lungs and heart may
{eel no sense of restriction by compres—
sion of the chest walls, and that the
blood may have uninterrupted course in
every direction.
We should never be guilty of suppos-
ing that the person whom we saw sit—
ting in a chair with his chin pressing on
his sunken chest was enjoying true phys-
ical rest, no matter how fast asleep he
might appear to be.
The tendency of the body to gravitate
toward the lowest part of a feather bed
is beyond remedy.
In this position the whole body is of-
ten so curled up that no one part is free
from constriction. The chest walls are
caved in, and the whole body suffers
from the consequent lack of proper oxy-
genation of the blood and the restriction
which is placed upon its general circula-
tion. The blood moves sluggishly, and
as a result the condition of “fat and
flabby” is superinduced.
Thiscondition is never likely to follow
the constant use of a firm hair mattress,
for the blood has no chance to get drop
sical from too sluggish a circulation.
Perfect physical repose, like perfect
physical activity, is dependent upon a
proper equilibrium of the bodily func-
tions during slumber.

How to Know a Caxton.
Title pages were unknown till after
1491. There must be no Roman or Italic
lettering, but all in Gothic or old Eng-
lish. There must be no commas. but an
oblique stroke in their place. Further,
there must be no catchwords at the
bottom of the page. The use of these,
long gone out of fashion, did not come
into vogue till years after Caxton‘s death.
There are other tests necessary, such
as the measurement of the lines, for
game of the type used was imitated pret-
5 ity closely by Caxton's successors. It is
i

clear, however, that during his career
Caxton only used six kinds of type. The
first, distinctly foreign in its character,
was used by him at Bruges in the print-
ing of “The Recuyell ot‘ the Histories of
“f Troye” and in the first edition of “The
Game and Plays of the Chesse.” This
‘ stylewasnever used in England. The
second style, such as in “The Moral
Prover " and “Tulle of Oldo Age,"
printed in 1477 and 1481 respectively,
' wasbeautiful and artistic. It follows a
design of manuscript which obtained the
name of Gros Batardc, common in use
in the fifteenth century. Several books
were written in this manner under the
order of Edward IV and are now to be
seen in the British museum.
Looking at the dates when Cnxton's
books were issued and the type-s he used,
itis evident he did not make new type
fill the old was worn out. A pretentious
style come next in list}, very bold in its
character. It is prohiemnticul whothvr
there is a hook in this type: the only ex-
amples we have of it at present nrt' in

The doctor of a hospital ship com

whom he could do nothing with. “We
don't like to throw the rascal out, but i!

"Well, doctor," said the visitor, after
a little reflection, “hind me a tow yards

“Very bad?" he said.
"Yes. manna," replied Samba. “Drelr

The visitor made no further remark,
but placed one end of the twins at his
head and drew it slowly-vcry slowly—-
until it mashed his toes. Then he meas-
fired him ucross the chest. The follow

every one who know him then recognizes
him now as the elem-rest pcrlormer of his

hotel recognized him when he was at din-

at the next table it he know who he was.
“Suttonly l dm-s, " sold the second walt-

“Billy Anderson indeed?” answered the
first Waiter. "You’so wrong. I knowed
him when he wuz wit Mistah Hove’ly, an
I guess I know his name. lilt’s Billy San-
derson, not. Billy Anderson.”
The two waiters became greatly excited
over the din-unston of this important point.
and meantime the guests had to wait {or
their dinners.
“Bet yo’ two dollnhs, boy, dat his name
is Billy Sanderson," said the first’wultor
finally.
“Go you," said the other. “Put up yo“

leave it out to?"

the llrst waiter as he produced hls $2.

The two approached the dignified head
waiter, who had been eylng thorn suspi-
