Get sleep Enough.

A young man in business must Acknowl.
edge one mathematical fact.
He knows By experience about how many
hours oisleep he needs, TO be rs fresh one
day as on the previous day. lie must &C.
knowledge the fact that be cannot sit up late
and rise early and get this amount OF sleep
There IL right mathematical obstacle to
the Accomplishment Of such a feat. IL he
needs seven hours sleep-as many Young
men door eight hours, as more Young men
do--he cannot get them between o'clock

late hours, he must neglect either his sleep
at night or his business in the morning.
Nearly every young man has sufficient
mathematical acutencss at seven o'clock II.
III. to appreciate the impossbility Of taking
one from seven and leaving eight. The
question is whether or not he appreciates
this Impossibility in the evening when he is
called upon to decide between "ioly good
time and his bed. ~.
One very frequent mistake is that lost
sleep can be "made up" In the frat place
whatever young man may intend 10 DO, he
very seldom actually tries to make up for
lost sleep, II he needs eight hours sleep
and gets but FIVE he usually makes up the
lost three hours by sleeping about one hour
longer than usual the next night. Or per.
haps he depends on Sunday for balancing
the whole week, and three hours extra sleep
makes up" for ten hours lost. In the sec.
ond pIace,one hour of regular sleep isworth,
for purposes OF recuperation, al least two
hours Of "make up" slumber.
There is practically no such thing as
"making up lost sleep.
fla young man determines to dispense
with three hours of his regular sleep he
must make up his mind to lose those three
hours.
Every hour lost is draft upon his physi.
cal and mental capital his bodily vigor-
his intellect. Now we would by no means
say that a man should never draw upon his
capital, but it is certainly very bad policy to
do so frequently. Far better live upon that
daily income of freshness and vigor which
abundant and regular sleep insures.
We do not propose to preach sermon on
healthy, wealthy aud wise" We simply
protest against the idea that lost sleep can
be "made up" and would remind our read.

The time at which temptation to keep late
hours usually meets young man is the
early part of the evening, when he is still fresh
and does not realize the necessity of sleep.

necessary machinery, beside, for the per,

engage in considerably at first.

machinery works by steam generated by a

firm are excellent men and understand the

We also visited the establishment Of

manufacturers. We we're shown through

every machine bespoke its intention and

blocks and by the slightest effort on the

from one to two gross of pals and tubs are
