How to Bask Properly.

"Basklng in the sun” is in itself of real and considerable benefit, and it is no compliment to our human intelligence to find that cats and dogs understand that fact better than we do. The love of sunshine is naturally one of our strongest instincts, and we should be far healthier and happier if we followed and developed it instead of practically Ignoring and repressing it. How a sparkling sunny morning exhilarates us and makes us feet that “It’s too fine a day to spend indoors,” and yet bow few holidays are taken for . that reason! The wealth of the sunbeams is poured out lavishly all around us, and we turn from it to Struggle for a few pitiful handfuls of something else that, is yellow and shining, but’ not half so likely to bring us happiness, and .often has strange, red spots upon it. Give nature a chance, and we will find that there is more than a mere fanciful connection between natural sunlight and that "sunny” disposition which, after all. Is the true "philosophers •tone.”—Exchange.
