Household science holds every other science in tribute, and only that home which starts with this admission, and builds upon the best foundation the best that thought can furnish, has any right to the name "home."

WHY PERSONS SNORE.

THE HABIT CURED BY FORGE OF WILL, OR THE USE OF A HARNESS FOR THE JAW,

New York Son. jJk

snore themselves

"What is snoring?" "Well, it's common enough," said Dr. .jdyre and in an offhand fashion he explained that snoring is a noise made in the posterior part of the mouth and nasal fossa during the moments of inspiration. It is due to the "levator palati mollis" andthe"circumflexuspalati" in sleep, by which the "velum pendulum palatf" is left free to vibrate or flap in the two currents of the air which enter at the same time through the nostrils and mouth. Besides the vibration of the velnm pendulum palati" or soft palate, there is also a vibration of the column of air itaelf. Thus is produced the rasping, snorting noise so well known and so unpleasant to every one within earshot of the placid snorer himself.

Dr. Say re was asked what caused snoring. "When a man is fatigued," he said, "and his self-control is unusally relaxed ?n sleep, he is apt to let his lower jaw drop down. No man was ever seen or hoard to snore with his mouth shut. The moral is obnoxious. The soft palate flaps like a sheet in the wind, and the noar neighbors of the snorting sleeper aro correspondingly disturbed. Now the Indians never snore. They think il a disgrace. An Indian believes that if he snores when he is young he will growup to be even less handsome at maturity than nature originally intended. His vanity, therefore, is enough to make a savage sleep in a proper position.

A well-know physician up town, whose practice has been largely in cases of affection of the respiratory system, was asked whether snoring was a disease. "Not so much a disease as a bad habit" he said "but I am frequently called upon to prescribe for its cure." "Can it be cured "Easily." "Why do elderly or corpulent people commonly snore. "Hecauso their systems are gonerally more relaxed in sleep, and their mouths then fall open. Any one will be likely to snore if he sleeps with his mouth open, and no one will if he shuts it." "Hotv can the habit be cured?" "First, you must give a person a chance to breathe through the nose, and then make him do so. If there is any obstruction in the nasal passage, that must be removed by treatment. Then if a snorer can't keep his mouth shut by forco of will, his jaw must be tied up. A harness for the lower jaw is s6metiinns employed in bad cases of snoring. A skull cap "worn upon the head serves to hold a system of straps under the .ihin, and keep the mouth shnt until tho mtient can form a habit of sleeping on lis side, or with his head sufficiently elevated to hold his jaw." "Is it an easy matter to hold one's jaw when asleep'?" "Hardly more so than when awake." '•Why Is snoring, thou, so common if lllsffo easily cured

common, which prevent free inspiration throilgh the nostrils. In sleeping cars and in hotels one frequently hears the resonant snore, because people in those places usually go to sleep tired out. An used to advocate sleeping ssibil

POPULAR PHRASES.

HOW AND WHERE SOME OF THEM ORIGINATED.

Some Curious Bit* of Literary Jhxlory —Origins Little Known and Often Misconceived—Twelve Well Known

St. Loots Globe-Democrat.

Dead a»a Herring.—This phrase may be traced to the fact that the herring is an extremely delicate fish. Whenever it is taken ont of the water, even though it seems to have no hurt, it gives a queak and immediately expires though it be thrown instantly.back into the water it never recovers.

Gone Where the Woodbine Twineth.— It is very common in the New England States to see the trough, or "spout, which leads the water from the eaves, entwined in the claspers of the woodbine. J. Fiak, Jr., gave the above phrase in answer to a question concerning a certain sum of money. He wished to convey the idea that it has gone up the spovt.

Let Slip the Dogs of War.—In Shakespeare's, play of Julius Ctesar, Act III., scene 1, twenty-five lines from the end, occurs the above expression. Antony is soliloquizing as to the outcome'of the murder of Cjesar: "And Cresar's spirit shall in these confines cry 'havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war."

Hobson's Choice.—Tobias Hobsori waif the first man in England who let out hackney horses. When a man came for a horse he was led into the stable where there was a great choice, but he obliged him to take the horse which stood next to the stable door, so that every customer was alike well served, according to his chance. Hence it became a proverb, when what ought to be your selection was forced upon you, to say "Hobson's Choice."

By the Skin of My Teeth.-^ls found in Job, xix., 20: "My bone cleavetli to my skin and to my flesh and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth."

To Point a Moral, etc— He left a name at which the world grew pale, To point amoral or adorn a talewritten by Samuel Johnson, in speaking of Charles XII., of Sweeden, in "The Vanity of Human Wishes."

The Style vt the Man.—Thisfamous say is generally quoted as one of Buffon's but it appears that the words thus attributed to Buffon are not Buffon's at all, but a perversion of one of his phrases, which occurs in his "Dissertation sur le Style." His words are, "Le style est de Phomme," and not "Le style, e'est Phomme."

Don't Crowd the Mourners.—This expression originated with one of theMier risoners Fn Mexico. The captured 'exans overpowered their guard at Ranch Salado and escaped, but were afterwards captured and compelled to draw lots. A number of beans were placed in a hat. every tenth bean being a black one. The man who drew a blacK bean was to be executed next morning. One of the unfortunates, who had al-

ready accidentally by a fellow captive, was crowding up to try his luck.

drawn a black bean, was jostled who The jostled party, whose fate was already sealed, laughingly remarked: "Go slow don't crowd the mourners, boys."

The Pen Mightier Than the Sword.— Bulwer's famous saying, which ho puts into the mouth of Kicheliett, that "the pen Is mightier than the sword," is not originul, at least not in the idea. A number of letters written by Oliver Cromwell have recently been tfound among the family papers of the descendant oi one of his captains, with the device of a sword crossing a pen upon them and the legend, "Ten to one the feather beats the iron."

Thonqh Lout to Sight to Memory Dear. —This line has frequently been quoted, and in almost every instance it fs added that its authorship Is unknown. A correspondent, in an issue of the St. Louis Globe of 1879, asserts that an author named Ruthven Jenkyns wrote the following in 1701, and published it in the Greenwich Magazine:

Sweet heart, good by 1 the fluttering sail la spread to waft me far from thee And soon before the fav'rlng gale

My ship shall bound upon the sea. Perchance, all desolate and forlorn, These eye* shall mtes thee many a year, But unfomotten every charm,

CIVILIZED INDIANS.

THE YOUNG INDIAN MISSES PREFER WHITE HUSBANDS OR NONECI,000 FOR A WIFE.

Muskogee Setter in Chicago Tribune. The Indian girl who becomes educated seldom marries an Indian. She prefers a white man. If she marries an Indian she will become a common squaw and be his servant. The half-breeds in the Nation are looked up to. They control the other Indians, as the mulatto controls the full black. So the educated Indian girl (and there are hundreds of college graduates in the Nation) marries a white that her children may be halfbreeds. It is really unpopular to be a full-blood Indian, and the popularity of the pure Indian is gradually fading out of the race. You would be astonished to see how white the Creeks and the Cherokees are getting through miscegnation. Real full-bloods are hard to find a the Cherokees.

The question was put by a teacher to a class of young Inaian girls about to graduate from a Cherokee seminary. "Whom would you prefer to marry "We prefer to marry a white man," they all answered.

They said this because they knew Indian husbands would drag them back to semi-barbarism again"Right over there," said Mr. Roberts, the editsr of the Indian Journal, as we passed Eufaula, in the Indian Nation, "lie the bones of a plucky man—Watt Grayson. Have vou ever heard of him?" "I don't think I have," I said. t. "Well, Watt Grayson was one of the richest Indians we had in the Nation. He had seven thousand head of cattle, Some thievesin Arkansas suspected that he had money in his house. It was in 1874. So one day four men came to call on him. They pretended to be cattle buyers. Watt entertained them, took them through his ranch, and gave them the best beds he had. The next day they departed, saying they would return with the money from Fort Smith to pay for one thousand head of cattle which they had bargained for. That night the same four men returned, all masked. They put a pistol to Watt's head, drove his wife ana children into a room, and demanded his money. Watt refused to tell them where it was. Then they put a rope around his neck and hung him up a minute or two. Letting him down they again demanded his money. .Again Watt refused. Then they hung him up again—this time»too long, for. when they took him down*, he was dead. Then they went and got his wife, showed her dead husband to her, and demanded that she should tell where her husband's money was. This she refused to do. Then they said: 'We'll hang you till you're dead, like your husband, if you aon't tell usand they proceeded to put the rope around her neck. They pulled her up to the limb of a tree, once—twice but each time she refused to tell. The last time they said they would kill her, sure enough", and drew her up with a jerk. "'Don't kill her!' said Watt, whom they thought to be dead. 'I love her more than myself or the money. I'll tell you where it is.' "Lieading them to the kitchen. Watt raised a board, and there was $21,000. The thieves took Itand were never found afterward. "Watt Grayson's widow now lives on the ranehe.

LINCOLN'S EARLY LIFE. m&> REMINISCENCES OF A MAN WHO SPLIT

RAILS WITH OLD ABE-A QUAINT v# MARRIAGE INVITATION tm

Decatur, 111., Letter In Phi la. Times. Lincoln in his younger days had many warm and sincere friends, but perhaps there was n9 man living who ever was more intimate with the lamented President than John Hanks, the old rail splitter, who for years was his bosom companion aud trusty friend.

Mr. Hanks resides on a farm four miles east of this place. He was born in Nelson county in 1802, and, notwithstanding his age, is a finely preserved old gentleman. "I suppose it seems a very long time to you since Lincoln and you used to split rails and run flatboats down the Mississippi river," said a visitor to him the other day. "Yes, it does," replied Mr. Hanks, "but I remember the time as distinctly as though it was but yesterday. Lincoln was only twelve years of age when I first formed his acquaintance. This was in Spencer couaty, Indiana, and he was at that time as homely and awkward a country boy as a person could well imagine. He was raw boned, and wore tne commonest and coarset kind of clothing, which seemed to have been put on in a rather careless manner. His suspenders were attached to his pantaloons by hickory splinters, which answered the purpose oi buttons. He did not seem to have a particular fondness for farm work, but no one could call him a lazy boy. He was always at something, and while on the farm seemed to have a particular fondness for horses. "Lincoln had just reached his twentyfirst year when he came to Macon county, Illinois. This was fifty-one years ago and the country was raw and not very thickly settled. Something must be done so he hired out as a farm hand, breaking prairie and making rails. A year later he weut to Sangamon county, and here we split rails together upon the land not very far from the spot where his monument stands. We sold them for fifty cents per hundred. We cut hundreds of cords of wood, selling and dividing equally the proceeds. We built three flatboats and made two different trips to New Orleans, and I do not think that I ever enjoyed myself so much as I did on those never-to-be-for-gotten occasions. During the trips Lincoln told stories after stories and each one related reminded him of another. In personal appearance he looked a good deal as he did after he became famous. There was the same mild and thoughtful expression of the face, the same deep, searching look from his eyes. He used to say he intended to be a Methodist preacher or a lawyer, and said he intended to read law the first good chance he got. When he was a boy he used to go to church whenever he had an opportunity, but for some reason the habit grew away from him as he became older, ret I never knew a man who was more ond of reading religious works or discussing religious subjects than Lincoln. He was always ambitious, and he used often to talk with me about bettering his condition iu life."

Mr. Hanks here related an incident when Lincoln was a storekeeper at the town of Salem, Illinois. He was alfco engaged in surveying and filled the position of postmaster of the place. One day in the early summer a farmer drove up in great haste to inquire if there was a letter for him. He found the office closed and no postmastor in sight. He began to jMk around tho neighborhood ana sootU^Mrvered Lincoln sitting upon the ban^)f a stream engaged in fishing. The min approached and asked Lincoln to go to the office and see if there was any mall for him. Whereupon Lincoln took off his hat and handed the man a letter, saying that would be the last letter he ever would deliver him in the capacity of postmaster, as he intended to resign in a few days. "Lincoln never was what tho world calls a money maker," continued Mr. Hanks. "He was very generous when a young man, and his acts of benevolence clung to him during the remainder of his life. I remember distinctly the first time we arrived in New Orleans. After we had attended to our business, the first purchases made by Lincoln were books and surveyors' instruments, and, instead of running around town to see the sights, he would remain at his boarding nouse engaged in reading or telling stories to the boarders, who pronounced him remarkably gifted in that direction. Lincoln, in fact, was always in close financial circumstances, and at the time he was nominated for President he did not have any property to amount to anything except his residence in Springfield. 1 was well acquainted with his wife, Mary Todd, before he married her, but neve» knew there was an engagement between them until about two weeks before tne marriage took place. The invitation to the wedding was written in Lincoln's own pe culiar style, and read as follows:

DEAR HANKS—I am to- be married next Tluimday eve, the 18th, to Mary Todd. I hope you will be on deck at early candle light. •A. LINCOLN.' "Daring the memorable campaign of 1860, the rails used by the Republican party in processions and political gatherings were taken from my farm, aud Lincoln's father, Lincoln and myself helped to split them. I erected the first house in Decatar. and Lincoln helped me to do nearly all tho work. Lincoln was pretty much the same man after being elected President. He loved all of his old friends to the hour of his death. After his election I journeyed to the capital to witness his inauguration, and while in Washington called at the White House a number of times to see mv old friend, always remaining to take dinner with him. It was a matter of great surprise to the dignitaries of the Nation and the distinguished gentlemen who were at that time thronging the capital to hear me approach the President and call bim Abe, and hear the President Sav, familiarly: 'Hello, Hanks, how are you?' Before I left for Washington I purchased a brand new suit of jeans, but found they were hardly in keeping with the fine 'store clothes' to be seen in and around the Capitol, but this did not make any difference to Lincoln.
