A Paris correspondent, who has fallen,
doubtless, into the European practice of eat
ing late suppers, says it is mistake to sup
pose the medical faculty hostile to sleep fol-
lowing supper. He discussed the question
recently with an able physician, who said to
him: ''There is nothing more absurd than
to pretend that it is unhealthy to sleep imme-
diately after the days last meal. Is not man
an animal? Do not animals, without excep-
ton, sleep Immediately after eating? Do we
not feel like sleeping after each days last
meal? And is it not by an effort that we
shake off sleep? Evidently the body yearns
for Sleep Exercise Immediately after every
meal is pernicious. Rest is healthful. What
rest is compared with sleep which reposes the
mind, the lungs, even the heart? See the
peasants. No person enjoys better health
than they do. Supper is the best meal of
their day. No sooner have they supped than
they 60 to bed. Look at the actors. There
was Cubinni. He dined at three, went to his
dressing room in the Italian Opera House and
slept till the theatre opened its doors. At
midnight he supped heartily, and straight to
bed he went He died of sheer old age You
know Mons. Theirs habit? The moment
dinner ends be stretches himself out to sleep,
and sleeps an hour. sThe truth is, if you look
about you, there will be found that the great
majority of men go to sleep Immediately af-
ter making their best meal. You certainly
never saw anywhere in the world healthier
or stronger women than those Of the great
markets. What is their rule of life? Dinner
and to bed. Take another, the very opposite
class astronomers. They keep late hours.
Their best meal is taken when the stars say
Good night Then they 60 to sleep. Did
you ever hear of an astronomer dying under
100? The great majority of servants and
mechanics 60 to sleep Immediately after TAX
ing their best meal. They are right. They
obey Natures voice, which always gives ju-
diciOus counsel.

MIR. DAYTON'S IKOl lSEKEEPER-

"Wan!cd.-A housekeeper-no one but al
elderly person, competent, and Of the highest
respectabily need apply. Call between the
hours of and 4, Thursday, April 6, at No.
---, Michigan avenue"
Kate franklin read this in the paper which
lay on the counter in the little grocery while
waiting to have an ounce or two of tea done
up and a roll Of bakers bread.
She repeated the number of the house over
to herself as she received the change from
the grocer.
She prepared the tea after she returned to
the little bare attic, and ate her scanty meal
mechanically. She forgot how unsatistied
her appetite still was in her busy thought.
A stranger, in strange place, successfully
she had tried to find situation as teacher,
cOpyst, IN store, sewing. She had failed
in the first three, and was starving on the
last.
She would apply for the place, but she
would need references. Only one person she
knew in the whole great city of sufficient in
1uencc-Mrs. Davenport, the rich, naughty,
step sister, who had ill-treated her gentle
mother while she lived, and hated Kate her.
self.
Perhaps Kate thought she would permit
her to refer to her, because glad to have her
descend to menial employment.
Kate was competent for the situation, for
during her mothers long illness and her
their large family and splendid house.
But an "elderly woman" Now, Kate was
not Gu elderly woman, being only twenty ;
but she remembered, with sort of pleasure,
that in private theatricals, in happier days,
she had initiated the voice and assumed the
character of an old woman with great sue
cess. She knew how to stain the skin to give
an old appearance, and she had in the bottom
of a box some false gray hair and a muslin
cap. worn on one of those occasions. She
did not need to look SO very old-only to pre-
sent mature and matronly appearance.
Mr.. Edward Dayton waited at home after
his dinner to see the respondents to his ad-
vertiscment. He was handsome man, not
yet thirty, with grave, frank, good-natured
countenance.
He leaned back in a nonchalant way, his
feet on another chair.
''There ought to be Mrs. Dayton to man
age these housekeeping matters. Well, there
time enough"
Two applicants were seen and dismissed in
Mr.. Dayton's gentlemanly way.
A third was ushered in. Mr.. Dayton in-
stinctively laid aside his cigar, and placed a
chair for his visitor.
The ladylkeness and propriety of her man.

he commented to himself.
She answered his questions readily, but in
few words
"a silent woman-a good thing" was his
inward remark.

''Franklin."
''Mrs. Franklin, you will be required to 60

She answered, quietly, that they did.

French and American Women.
[Erom :.The French at UOme."l

gFrom ''The French at Home
The face of the American woman is more
| beautiful than that of the native of any other
country. 1t has delicacy of color and feature,
and fineness and intellectually in expression;
but the body supporting the head, regarded
from an artistic and hygienic point Of view,
is inferior. For breathing and digesting, the
| upper part is lacking in depth. In word,
the American is more fragile; she is hardly
a Diana, and the French is something more,
although not the Hebe of Rubens. The
French woman's face is as handsome as that
of any other in Europe, and fades more slow
ly At forty she glides into an embonpoint
with an unwrinkled face and good COM
plexion-at the age when English women
become heavy necked, frowsy, and the Amer
ican pale and wrinkled. The climate has
something to do with this, but doubtless her
nourishing food, generous wine, and out OF
door air much more. Her mode of living
contributes thereto-the exercise and devel-
opment of each function in a more natural
and sensuous manner than with us. There
are ascetic ideas in America which have
tendency to retard the physical development
of woman; for mind mOlds matter. The ex-
tremes of American life are unfavorable to
healthy growth, in its fastness as well as its
asceticism, where the flesh is corrupted by
dissipation or mortified by certain religious
teachings. Aside from these causes is pre-
valent notion that it is beneath the dignity of
men and women to occupy themselves with
what they shall eat and what they shall drink.
The American has more intellect than her
French sister, but the latter has sottness
where she has pertness. There is nervous
excitability in one, mellowness and equality
of character in the other. The forced, bril-
liant vitality of women in America is subject
to fits of reaction, for nature has its limit.
In the French woman the mind is more even
and cheerful, and in the absence of exhaust
i've and irregular demands made upon it, the
uniform health is better. In qualities of
purely mental character, the equal of the
American woman cannot perhaps be found
in the world; but with all her knowledge and
intellectual activity, she lacks that which
made the Greeks what they have been and
the French what they are-organic cultiva-
ton. Entwined in these words are taste and
art. A ripper civilizatian, though not purer,
shall invest her with knowledge of these
things, and harmony of character not now
possessed; and with it will come, alas! that
decadence in morals which always marches
on the neels of the beautiful in every age and
in every climate. It is sad that such heavy
tribute should be exacted as the price of an
added enjoyment, but art is inexorable.

THE Catholic Rerielc, of October 9, says
that according to the Deutche Richszeitumg,
a German Jesuit, Father Martin Egger, has
at last succeeded in excogitating a machine
in which electro-magnetism will be employed
as the moving power, just as steam would be
employed. He laid bis project before the
Imperial Society of Arts and Sciences, at
Vienna, which, upon examination, pronoun-
ced it practical, and decided to furnish the
inventor with the means of fully completing
his machine. The inventor has obtained an
Imperial patent, and is now engaged in COM
pleting his invention, which, when finished,
will be sent to the Universal Exhibition in

JUSTICE MACHINERY Yesterday
the ponderous machinery Of the
Justice hosting works was started
up, The three engines are of the
most perfect and powerful descrip-
ton and not equaled on the Com
stock lode at the present time. The
pump engine is rated at 200 horse
power, having 24-inch cylinder and
four feet stroke. The hosting en-
CINE is so horse power, and the in
cline engine 100 horse power. All
the gearing, etc, is of correspond
ingly massive description, the main
fiy-wheel weighing Is tons, Four
large boilers supply the steam to
move this ponderous machinery,
and it is estimated that the hosting
works are of sufficient power and
capacity to allow of working the
mine to the depth of $500 or 5000
feet in depth. Getting up steam
was celebrated by the Superinten-
dent, L. F. Smith, Esq, his en-
ployes and at least one hundred
invited guests, who partook of a
splendid lunch and topped off on
champaign. 1t is thought that
Justice stock will elevate muchly,"
now that they have machinery to
handle the water and raise the ore.
