MEN OF LETTERS.

Tasso's conversation was neither CAV
nor brilliant. Dante was either tact

biting. Gray seldom talked pr smiled.
Hogarth and Smith were very absent
minded in company. Milton was very
unsociable and even irritable when
pressed into conversation. Kirwan,
though copious and eloquent in public
addresses, was meager and dull In col
loquial discourse. Virgil was heavy in
conversation. LaFontaine appeared
heavy, coarse and stupid he could not
speak and describe what he had Just
seen but then he was the model of
poetry. Chaucer's silence was more
agreeable than his conversation. Dry
denis conversation was dry and dull,
his humor saturnine and reserved. Cor
nellie, in conversation, was so insipid
that he never failed in wearying lie
did not even speak correctly that Ian
guage of which he was such a
master. Ben johnson used to sit silent
in company and suck his wines and
their humors. Southey was stiff, Sc
date, ana wrapped up in asceticism.
Addison was good company with his in
innate friends, but in mixed company
he preserved his dignity by stiff and
reserved silence. Fox, in conversation,
never tagged his animation and vari-
ETY. were inexhaustible. DR.. Bentley
was loquacious, as was also Grotius.
Goldsmith "wrote like an angel, and
talked like poor Poll" Burke was en-
tertaining, enthusiastic, and interest

vivial deity. Leigh Hunt was like a

Mr. G. A. Kingsbury writes as follows
in Forest and Stream of bath in the
Dead sea Reaching at length this
most remarkable of all the seas and lakes
on our globe we prepared to take bath
and such q bath / can hardly expect
ever to take again. 1 had previously
bathed In numerous seas, lakes and
rivers, but never did enjoy such bath
as this. The specific gravity of the
water is such, from its holding in solu-
ton so large proportion of salts twenty
six and half per cent. that one floats
upon its surface like cork. At the
time there was only gentle ripple upon
the sea, and, being a good swimmer, 1
at once struck out into deep water. /
soon found that / could not only swim
and float with wonderful ease, but that /
could actually walk in the water, sinking
only to the arm-pits. Discovering this
fact, made for the shore, and taking
DIR. c., one of our party, VINO could not
swim, by the hand, led him into the sea
where the water was many fathoms deep.
At first he was quite reluctant to follow
me, but he soon gained confidence on
finding there was no danger of sinking,
and he enjoyed the novel bath as much
as if he had been an expert swimmer.
Should the bather allow water to get into
his eyes or mouth he would suffer con-
siderable abatement to his enjoyment,
on account of its extremely salt, bitter,
and irritating nature. No fish can live
in this sea but various kinds of ducks
abound here at certain seasons of the
year. The water was as clear as ordi-
nary sea water, its temperature was
agreeable, and it had an oily feeling,
and altogether its action on the surface
of the body was such as to develop those

HOW LONG TO SLEEP.

How much sleep is necessary to renew
the exhausted energies of the brain and
fit it perfectly for its work must be de-
termined by individual experience; but
as to children it is safe to say they ought
to be INDUCED to the extent of their in
clination. They require more sleep than
adults, and old people, if their slumbers
are sound, incline to sleep at shorter
intervals than persons in the prime of
life. The difference in individuals in
this respect is very great. DR.. Cooch
mentions man who sleeps only fifteen
minutes day and enjoys good health.
Blaine, in his medical Logic, speaks
of some missionaries in Cuba who re-
duced their sleep to the minimum, that
they might pursue their labors with the
least possible interruption. When forced
to rest they threw themselves on couch
with brass ball in hand over a brass
basin. The moment they lost their con-
seriousness 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-
grew that during his active campaign in
Holland he never for year slept more
than one hour in twenty-four and the
same is related of Charles XII, during
his wonderful career. Jeremy Taylor,
during part of his life, slept only three
or four hours in the twenty-four; and
Napoleon slept only four or five hours
during his military career, but he was
able to fall asleep at any time in the
midst of his work when he felt drowsy.
John Hunter, the great surgeon, slept
four hours at night and one after dinner.
Sir John Sinclair gives the history OF
a man who had reached the advanced
age of 81, and all his life had
slept but four hours in the twenty -four.
Sir Walter Scott had said that he was
not entirely himself unless he passed
seven hours in total Inconsistencies.
Southey required ten hours, going to
bed at ten and rising at eight. Sir Will
lam Jones laid down the rule of life fOl
students in the couplet-

STOCK IN CHICAGO.

Chicago appears to be doing quite a
business in the way of stock-raising by
feeding cattle on swill. 1t appears that
nearly every distillery in the town
engages in this industry during the cool
months, and the Chicago Tribune gives
the following approximate figures of the
number of cattle so fattened: cat the
Chicago Alcohol Works the number of
cattle being fattened this year is 312; at
the South Branch Distilling Company's
Works, about 500; at Shufeldt & Co. s
distillery, about 500; at Dickson, Leach
& Co. s, about 800; at the Northwest
ern distillery, about 800; and at the
Blackhawk distillery, about 600, making
total of 5,612 cattle. The average
price of these cattle in October last,
when the feeding commenced, was about
3. cents per pound in May, when they
viii be ready for market, it will be prob
ably Z cents per pound. Allowing the
increase in weight of the animals as an
offset for the cost of care and feeding,
there is profit of 100 per cent. on the
original outlay, or a total of 1896, 400 as
profit for the years transactions. Be-
side this, the distilleries sell enough
still-slops in and about the city to in
crease these figures to $500, 900 as the
amount which is brought into the city
annually"

The New York Times prints the fol-
lowing from one of its city readers 81
would say that my two little girls, aged
81 and Al years, have been out every
day this winter that it has not actually
stormed, averaging 80 per cent. of the
time-their dress being flannel under
clothing and skirts, wooden dresses, their
food consisting largely Of oatmeal and
wheaton grits, ETC., Werning and even
ing, having dinner by the middle of the
day, and being asleep by o'clock,
awakening at 6 next morning. With their
sleigh they have been in Gramercy Park
every time nearly that they were out,
and have had as much enjoyment there
as at any season of the year, and to-day
they are as hearty and stout and heavy
as any children of their age in this or
any city, and far more so than country ,
children. This is due greatly to their
food and sleep, as well as to the open
air exercise, these being the main points
that are SO much neglected by parents.

INSULTING ITALIANS.

Charles Warren Stoddard writes from
Venice ssHow the Italians do enjoy
insulting the servants of the public
Only the other night ballet was put on
at the Fenice wherein an admirable artist
but rather homely woman made her
first appearance in Venice. There was
much excitement in the house in conse-
quence of a predisposition on the part of
some present to prevent the reappear-
ance of the lady in question. 1t seems
that certain members of the press had
demanded of her favors that lose their
value rs soon as granted, and upon being
Indignantly repulsed they resolved to
ruin the engagement of the dancer. Her
entrance was the signal for most dis
graceful uproar, that was continued to
the very close of the long ballet. The
lady probably never danced so well be-
fore as she danced that night. Stung
with the insults of the baser members of
the audience she surpassed herself.
From our seats in the orchestra we saw
the tears streaming down her face, and
to her the hour must have been one of
exquisite agony. Three times she faint
ed behind the scenes, but recovered in
season to renew her efforts to please with
a grace and spirit 1 have never seen sur
passed. Inasmuch as the ballet was con-
tinued to the close, and she had not posi-
lively been Kissed from the stage, the
manager could not break his engagement
with her. She appeared on the second
night, and the miserable wretches who
were so noisome on the evening previous
having exhausted themselves, her sue
cess was unqualified, and she is now
dancing before delighted and more ap-
preciative audiences.

X EG-fL FINERT.

Mrs. Hooper sends this interesting bit
of news from Paris to the Philadelphia
Press "The Grand Duchess Marie of
Russia has recently made marvellous
purchase, in the shape of bedroom
garniture of point d'Alencon lace, which
was originally manufactured for Marie
Antoinette. The approach Of the revo-
luton prevented the unfortunate queen
from becoming its pOssessor. 1t was af
terward bought by Napoleon 1. as a
bridal present for Marie Louise, and was
again sold after the Hundred Days. At
ter many vicissitudes this regal piece of
finery has at last found its way into royal
hands once more. 1t comprises set of
curtains, a Counterpart, and six pillow
covers. The lace is as fine as the finest
hounce ever worn by royal bride, and
the pattern represents baskets, wreaths,
and clusters of roses and lilies in high
relief in the delicate net which forms the
background of that most splendid of all
modern lace, the point d'Alencon. The
price paid for this marvellous garniture
was only $4,000 francs $4,000. 1t has
never been used, none of its possessors
since the days of Marie Louise having
ventured to display such piece of royal
extravaganza, therefore it may be consid
cred as great bargain for its new pur-
chaser 1t was suggested that it might
one day return to France in the posses
sion of a new Empress, the Grand
Duchess Marie being the lady to whose
daughter it was recently reported that
the Prince Imperial was to be betrothed.
But the Grand Duchess unfortunately
has no daughter, which is slight i'm
pediment to the projected union.
