fifteen minutes a day and yet enjoys good

Of some missionaries in China who re-

they might pursue their labors with the
least possible interruption When fore
ed to rest they threw themselves on a
couch with a brass ball i'll hand over a
brass basin. The moment they lost their
consciousness the ball dropped from their
fingers, and ringing on the basin, walked
them; and this sleep they found afforded
all the recruit that nature demanded =
Seneca declares that Macenas passed
three years without sleeping a single
hour; and Boerhaave affirms that he
passed six weeks at one time without
sleep but neither of these statements is
credible.
Blaine was Informed BY Gen Piche-
gan that during his active campaign in
Holland he never for a year slept more
than one hour in twenty-lour; and the
same is related of Charles NIL, of
Sweden, during his wonderful career
Jeremy Taylor, during part Of his life,
slept only three or four hours in the
twcnty-fom; and Napoleon slept only
four or FIVE hours during his military
career but he was able to fall asleep at

surgeon, slept four hours at night and
