Sunshine and Sleep.

No sirup of poppies, no tincture of opium, no powders of morphine, says one of the medical journals, can compare in sleep-producing power with sunshine. The worst soporific is laudanum and the best is sunshine. Therefore, it is easily understood that poor sleepers should pass as many hours in the sunshine as possible. Many women aye martyrs, anti'do not know it. They ■'hut the sunshine out of their houses, they wear veils, they carry sunshades, they do all that is possible to keep otf the sublest and yet most potent influence which is intended to give them strength and beauty and cheerfulness.
