4 waomo CUSTOM CORRECTED.

1t Is quite generally The custom to take strong
liver stimulants for the cure of hver complaint,
and both the mineral and vegetable kingdoms
have been diligently searched to procure the
most drastic and poisonous purgatives,in order
to produce powerful effect upon the liver, and
arouse The tagging and enfeebled organ. This
system of treatment IL on the same principle as
that OF giving weak and debilitated man
large portions of brandy to enable him to do q
certain amount of work. When the stimulant
Is withheld, the organ like the system, gradual
ly relapses into more torpid or sluggish and
weakened condition than before. What then
is wanted? Medicines that, while th ey cause
organ Is toned into action, will not overwork,
and thus debitate it, bnt will when their use
Is discontinued, leave the liver strengthened
and healthy.

before rising, one can lay out his days work
clearly: can disentangle and solve dillicui-
ties which puzzled his tired brain over
NIGHT can plan literary work, exercise his
hest discrimination. A heated brain, doing
night work, may secure more fancy, and
more passion, but good judgment and in
ventiyeness and order come with the cool OF
the morning.
There are peculiar advantages to man
living in the city, in early morning work.
He NAV be sure that the great body of his
neighbors are late risers, and that he will
have eyeral hours, and the best ones, with
out l.. i..terruption, before Others are awake.
The best work of the day may be completed
before others are out of bed, and before he
will be distracted by calls, consultations, or
the execution of distracting details of bust
ness. To LAWYERS, teachers, physicians,
clergymen, and to all literary men, this is
an immense gain. In our case we may
bear witness that pretty much all our real
thinking, during forty years, has been done
before 10 O'Clock in the morning. The ques-
ton of working before breakfast Is another
matter Some work better before, and some
can do nothing.
Inc custom Oh many rienou Pi!Sioi''',
seems to us perfect. They are awakened
early, say five or six, and find coffee and
rolls waiting them. Then they write till
ten or eleven, take breakfast, and go out for
practice till six, then dine, and spend the
evening either in social relaxation or in
reading.
OF course there will be special conditions
which will prevent many from the hest
course. and obige them to take up with the
second best. But it will be real gain if
men will agree that the best hours are the
early hours. and secure them as far as cir
cumstances will permit.-Iienrg Ward

So simple 4 matter as when one shall 70
to bed, and when he should get up, would
not at first sight appear worthy of much
consideration. Bat it has been fruitful
theme from the earliest days, and has given
rise to wise saws, thrifty proverbs. and
many scraps of essays. With some carly
rising has become almost morality. with
Others a laughing stock.
Such discussions must belong 10 the great
intermediate zones, for during the months of
polar darkness the very terra early becomes
obsolete. while during the months of sun
light without night it IS early all the
while. Bat in temperate zones early and
late arc respectable terms, having some re
lation to facts.
In favor of late rising it is urged that, in
many places, the morning hours arc as I'M
healthy as evening. This is true in malar-
ial regions The sun needs To stir the air
and dissipate the heavy mists and poison
bearing strata of air near the earth before it
is safe for those OF slender health to expose
themselves. In such regions it is not wise
to sleep on the ground floor. Many state
ments have been made of the marked differ
ences in liability to disease between those
who slept near the eartn, when the air was
very heavy with yapor, and those who slept
in the second story. Indeed, with few ex-
ceptions of dwellings on gravel soil, it may
be said to be always healthier to use the up
per chambers for sleeping.
Early rising is impossible for an incrcas-
inc class of men whose labors carry them
late into night hours, watehmen, policemen,
railroad men on night trains, nayigators,
printers on morning journals, nurses, physi-
clans, hotel and restaurant servants, drivers,
etc. etc. They must take their sleep when
they can get 1t.
Men are obliged to conform to the Gus
toms which business has established. 1t
| NAV be far better for London to work by
| dav and sleep at night. Bat if one is born
and reared in London, where controlling
affairs have established the custom of doing
| night work, what can he do? lie must 20
out of society or conform. Parliament does
not convene until dark, and seldom gets to
important business before ten at night. II
the men must sit up till past midnight, then
they must sleep late in the morning.
But on the other hand. where there are
no reasons of climate, and where the impera-
tive customs of society do not compel late
work, and so late sleeping, early rising i.
greatly advantageous. 1t mans habits
are good, and his health vigorous, the early
morning hours ought to be the very best foi
brain work. Thi. not true of half invalids
nor Of those who habiiually do thirty hours
work in twentyfour. Sleep, in such eases
relaxes the nerves, and the waking hour i
one Of dismal distress. and not till the ex
citement has given tension again, will the
mind work we'll But in healthy men
working within due limits, one ought t,

kU-kLUNisN IN lEEANp.-lf the tales ol
murder, told by the London papers. were to
be completely believed, Ireland would be at
present the prey of kind of unpoligical
Ribbonism, somewhat similar 10 the la;e
American ku-kluxism. The English papers
are even 50 attentive as to add material to
their stories, and for the sake Of rraisen-
hianee, they insinuate that the aforesaid
crimes are mostly the work OF returned Irish
american emigrants. The epidemic Of mur-
der i fortunately confined within limited
part of the south Of Ireland, district only
fifteen miles square Three most atrocila-
crimes Of the kind following one another in
quick succession within the narrow area re-
ierred to have alarmed the people living On
the borders Of Cork and Waterford. The
victims belonged in all eases 10 the peasant
elass-small farmers or day laborers-and
were old men or helpless women residing in
lonely cottages where no alarm was possible
and no help within reach. " hat : remark
able is that no trace can be discovered in
these crimes Of agrarian animo-ity or per-
sonal feuds The police attribute them all
to greed for gain; and suspicion has fallen
on the tribe Of rowing tramr- who have al
ways been encouraged in Ireland BY the pop
ular tenderness for mendicancy. Ii l. stat

How THE EARLY VIRGINIANs Cor WIVES.
The history of the Commonwealth of Nir-
cinia. saws the Richmond Wing. commences
with an auction sale-not, however, in a
store. but beneath the green trees Of james
town, where probably the most anxious and
interesting crowd of auction habitues ever
known in the history of the world were
gathered. In letter. still to be seen, dated
London, Aug. 81, 1921. and directed to a
orthy colonist OF that settlement, the wri-
ter begins by saying -
"We send you a shipment, one widow
End eleven maids. for wives of the people Of
Virginia. There has been especial care in
The choice of them. for there hath not one Of
them been received but upon good recomnen-
ations. In case they cannot be presently
married we desire that they may be put
with several householders that have wives
until they can be provided with husbands. -
But the writer Of this epistle had little
reason to fear that any Of the Z" naidens
faire, would be left over. The archives
contain evidence to prove that these first
cargoes of young ladies were put up at auc-
tion and sold for one hundred and twenty
pounds of tobacco each, and it was ordered
that this debt should have the precedence Of
all others, for they could not be particular
in those days. The good minister Of the
colony no doubt had busy time that day.

\ RoNlNcE N iiIGu LIrs.-At the gam
ing table the duke of Richmond incurred II
debt Of honor to Lord Cadogan which he
was unable to pay, and it was agreed that
his son. lad of fifteen, who bore the title of
Earl Of March. should marry the still young
er daughter Of Lord Cadogan. The boy was
sent for from school and the girl from the
nursery clergyman was in attendance,
and the children were told they were to be
married on the spot. The girl had moth
ing to say; the boy cried out, ''They sure
ly are not going to marry me to that
dowdy :" But married they were. \ post
chaise was at the door; the bridegroom was
packed OFF with his tltor to make a grand
tour and the bride was sent back to her
mother Lord March remained abroad for
several years, after which he returned to
London well educated, handsome young
man. but in no haste to meet his wife, whom
he had never seen except on the occasion OF
their hasty marriage. So he tarried in
London to amuse himself. One night at
the opera his attention was attracted to 4
beautiful young lady in the boxes. Who
is that?" he asked of II gentleman beside
him. "You must be stranger in Lon
don," was the reply, mot to know the
toast of the town. the beautiful Lady
March" The earl went straight to the box,
announced himself and claimed his bride.
The two fell in love with each other on the
spot, and lived long and happily together ;

alton was seen in the eye of the woman, and
a wild fear of the wrath to come was depicted

crowded portion of the sidewalk bright idea
seemed suddenly to strike the BOBBY who was
being thus ughly led away. Suddenly pull
ling back he shrieked in piteous. despairing
