none of them has been impeached;
none of them has been superseded by

opinion, the town council of 1S69 is

POSITION DURING SLEEP.
SUe-atlr Kala ta Head aad Lie aa
tfee Kiaht Side.
The IP" object of sleep is that every
organ of the body should have perfect
rest. The brain, the luncs and the
heart have been, not inappropriately,
called the "tripod of life," as upon
them hangs the prosperity of the whole
frame; hence we slightly raise the
heed to check the flow of blood to the
brain and more or less quickly find out
the position of greatest ease for lungs
and heart.
This will be found by sleeping for
the greater part of the time on the
right side, for nearly two-thirds of tie
heart is on the left of the medial line,
and the apex points closely to the
smaller left lung; hence the fullest and
freest play possible should be given to
the left side.
A quiet pulse, diminished respira
tion and refreshing rest are all com
bined when open windows, moderate
warmth and nachaflng heart work to
gether. It is often best to court sleep
on the left side and turn to the nght
before going off.
A Pallaataraalat.
Modern advertising can cope even

objected. They represented to her that
the king could scarcely rtceive the
daughter of a retail bootmaker. The
young woman cabled home and told
her fath the situation. The next
morning she received his answer:
"Can't call it selling. Practically
giving them away. See advertise
ment." That solved the difficulty. She was
presented as the daughter of an emi

HABERDASHER.
The

Talac of Little Valae.
The word haberdasher first appears
In the language as comln? from haper
tas, the name of a fabric mentioned In
the Liber Albus along with wool, can
vas and felt, as subject to customs
duty, about 1419. A parallel and al
most contemporary list has haber
tassherle. The word Is suppo! to mean things
of little value small wares such as
buttons aad tapes. Skeat derives it
from the Icelandic haperbask trum
pery, pedlars' wares. In a reirister of
burials of Ware in lCoo we have one
entry: "Michael Watkins. London,
haberdasher of harts." probably this
being the first material of which hats
were made.
Chambers gives another meaning to
the word. He says It Is derived from
the ancient name for a neck cloth.
herdash. which Is derived from beard.
and tache, a covering.
Hapertas was originally a cloth of
a particular kind, the width of -which
