q spice; and man who does not take his
play with his work never las it, Play
ceases to be play t. a man when it ceases
to be Relation from daily work. As the
grand business of life, play is the hardest
work man can do.
- Besides the motives of continued life
and happiness to which we have called
attention in this article, there is another of
peculiar force in America, which binds
us to labor while we live. If we look
across the water, we shall find that nearly
all the notable men die in the harness.
The old men are the great men in Parlia-
ment and Cabinet. Yet it is true that a
man does not SO wholly take himself out
of life in Europe as in America when he
relinquishes business. A rich man
in Europe can quit active affairs,
and still have the consideration
due to his talents, his wealth and
his social position. Here, man has
only to "count himself out'' of active
pursuits, to count himself out of the
world. A man out of work is dead man,
even if he is the possessor of millions.
The world walks straight over him and
his memory. One reason why a rich and
idle man is happier in Europe than at
home is that he has the countenance of a
class of respectable men and women liv-
ing upon their vested incomes. A man
may be respectable in Europe without
work. After certain fashion, he can be
so here; but, after all, the fact that he has
ceased to be active in affairs of business
and politics make him Of no account. He
loses his influence, and goes for nothing,
except relic with hat on, to be bowed
to. So there is no WaY for us but to
keep at it," get all the play we need as
we 60 on; drive at something, so long as
the hand is strong and steady, and not to
think of rest this side of the narrow bed,
where the sleep will be too deep for
dreams, and the waking will open into
infinite leisure.-Scrsbner's Monthly.

mer suits, and the cream tints for evening
toilets. A stylish fabric in black is the
striped damask gauze, with alternate tat
feta stripes two and three inches. wide.
Taffeta stripes are largely taking the
places Of those of repped silk and satin.
The leading model in spring toilets will
be the polonalse. This for the most part
will be made in the Princess shape, very
long and but slightly draped below and
back of the arms. These will be seen a
great deal in plain India cashmeres,
trimmed with wooden fringes of the same
shade a. the material. Short paletots,
half-flying in the back and fastened only
at the neck, to hang straight and open in
front, will furnish one Of the styles for
outside garments. These, Notwithstanding
the effort to revive the fashion of wearing
black outside wraps with all dresses, will
often be made of the same material as the
rest OF the toilet.-N. Y. World.

Heat and Cold in Their Relation to
Sleeplessness.

Cold is often cause of insomnia. If
insutticiently clad, so that the cutaneous
vessels are not relaxed, sleep is rarely
sound, when attained at all. 1t is only
when stupefaction from cold occurs that
the dangerous coma sleep comes on,
which is so often fatal. With many Der.
sons sleep is impossible if the bed be not
warmed previous to their entering it. In
these cases, the arteriole contraction, in.
duced by the contact with the cold bed
clothes, does not pass readily into the op-
positc condition of relaxation, and so sleep
does not come on. This state of affairs is
very commonly met with among the aged,
and most so in those who suffer from some
form of heart disease. In such cases it is
not only desirable to warm the bed and
the night-clOthes, but even to administer
some hot fluid, when the patient has got
into bed, If any sense of chilliness re-
mains. In the young ana healthy the
chill on getting into bed, however, if often
of great service in inducing q subsequent
relaxation of the cutaneous vessels, and
thus conducting to more perfect cerebral
anamia and sounder sleep. Few persons
will have failed to note the deep and
usually refreshing sleep which follows
any disturbance during the night which
HAS cApOScu tucul UIlcuy " COlu. 0cC.
ting up to do some little service for sick
friend, or to attend to some natural call,
will usually lead 10 sense of chilliness
which makes the warm ed-clothes ex.
tremely comfortable on again getting into
bed, and which is followed by sound
sleep. Here the brief contraction of the
peripheral vessels is followed by relaxa-
ffon, leading to more complete cerebral
anRmia.
At other times an increase of the body
temperature is the cause of disturbed
sleep, sometimes amounting to sleepless-
ness. This is most frequently seen in
febrile states, where q delirious condi-
ton takes the place of natural sleep. After
the temperature has been brought down
by the application of cold, q fever patient
will commonly fall into refreshing sleep,
until return to fever temperature dis.
turbs it. In slighter conditions of rest
lessness, associated with too great body
temperature, the dissipation of q certain
amount of superfiuous heat by getting out
of bed and drinking a draught of cold
water will usually be followed by sound
sleep. At other times, throwing off some
of the bed-clothes will achieve the same
end; though, if the amount removed be
too great, wakefulness may follow from q
too low temperature being brought about.
With some persons, when the rest is dis
turbed, it is sufficient to protrude an arm
or leg from under the bed clothes, so as
to secure more loss Of heat, and sound
sleep will follow.-Dr. J. Milner F3t6er-
gill, in the Practitioner.

PACIFIC COAST DISPATCHES.
FROM CALIFORNIA.
James Lick Kicking.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5.

James Lick, who some time since
donated his fortune to public purposes,
has become dissatisfied with the pres
ent Board of Trustees and has deter
mined, if possible, to effect a change.
Last night he addressed "a letter to each
of the members of the board informing
them of the fact that he relieved
them of their duties and obligations
and had appointed a new board TO
carry out his wishes. The board which
Mr.. Lick thus desires to summary
disband consists OF Richard Floyd,
John Nightingale, f. ID. Atherton, B.
Murphy Of Santa Clara, and John
Lick while Jas. Lickson, Abraham
Block, president of the odd Fellows
bank, Chas. NJ. Plum, carpet dealer,
Louis Il. Lullex, secretary of the So
ciety of California Pioneers, and an
other whose name is yet unknown,

IN A srnAIT.

Grant and the Attorney General are
sorely perplexed over the question OF
pirdocing Mckee, Avery and other
whisky thieves. They know it will
damagethe party to release them before
the November election, but on the
other hand tho wife Of Avery and
friends ofths others are persistent In de-
mandingan immediate pardon, accom-
panied by threats Of disclosures that
would knock tho party higher than a
kite. The Washington correspondent
of the N. 7. Sun says. "Overtures
have been made 10 Avery and Mrs,
Avery to accept IS, 900 from the Repub.
lican national committee fund 10 with
draw the application till amor the Pres
idential election" Also, that she has
been offered 4 clerkship, but she fstly
refused It, and that "shs and her friends
now say they will make public a. an
early day those kilograms aud papers
which 1t Is alleged she has been holding
over the Presidents head" if her hus-
band is not pardoned.
It is also alleged that McKee's eoun-
sci had some plain talk with the Attor-
ney General, who Is accused Of duplic-
ity in trying to stave on q decision till
November, and nnally said to him that
if he he was to DO put of any longer
"the half OF the Globe Democrat which
was not in jail would cut right and
lef." Taft got angry At this threat but
Grant succeeded in patching up . truce
for the time being.
Probably the interests Of the party
will prevail and they will have to sub
init, as thoy know perfectly we'll that
disclosures would end all hope Of par
don while Grant remains in office.
They will prefer 10 wait quietly till
November and then be released, rather
than make disclosures and stay till the
-4th Of March.

LONDON, Sept. 5.
From a las of conflicting dispatch
es from the seat of war it is impossible
to summarize. The military situation is
as follows: T~chernayetf and the bulk OF
the Servian army are at Belgrade, AND
Alexinatz, if o abandoned, is held
only by a small force which the Turks
will not hesitate to leave in their rear
in case operations are not suspended
shortly. "A march of the Turks on
Krusevatz would render belgrade un-
tenable and the Servian army is in no
condition to fight the Turks on equal
terms. Desperate attempts were made
to diminish tho importance of Fridays
battle, but it was undoubtedly a total
and disastrous defeat to the Serviaus,
accompanied by heavy losses in killed
and wounded.
