THE NECESSITY OF SLEEP.-H is reported that
FIVE young Belgians recently laid a wager that
they would remain awake continuously for seven
DAYS They kept up all manner OF exciting ex-
ercises, ard drank large quantities of coffee, and
one Of them won M bet, though with the loss Of
twenty five pounds in weight. '-E&e lell ala. asleep
after one hundred and thirty hours, one was
seized with inflammation Of the lungs and had to
yield to save his life and the other fell asleep on
horseback, and then fell off and broke his arm
This circumstance recalls n similar attempt made
by Frederick the Great when Crown Prince of
Prussia, to keep awake a certain number ofdays,
and the almost fatal results to the Prince and his
companions, who, n drunken frolic had made
foolish wager. Soldiers, printers, and mem.

consistency. When it is convenient for
