Sleep.

Sleep, DIR. w. A. Hammond says, may
be defined as general repose. Almost
all the organs rest during sleep. The
heart, popularly supposed to be in per-
pectual motion, is at rest 6 hours out of
the "a, the respiratory organs s, and the
other organs more or less. The brain
alone is constantly employed during
wakefulness, and for it sleep was form
ed and made needful to it's preservation.
1t is true that sleep does
not give the brain a total
recess from labor; imagination and
memory are often vividly active during
sleep, and unconscious cerebration like
wise takes place, but enough rest is OBJ
tanned for the renovation of the brain,
and that which has been torn down is to
certain extent rebuilt. Sleep is a most
wonderful power-often stronger than
the will, as in the case of the sleeping
soldier-and more mighty than pain, as
when sick persons or tortured prisoners
sleep in the midst of their suffering. No
torture, it is said, has been found equal
to the prevention of sleep. The amount
of sleep needed differs according to the
constitution and habits. Big brains and
persons who perform much brain labor
need large amount of sleep. Children
need more sleep than grown people be,
cause construction is more active than
decay in their brains.

ILL-GOTTEN gain is hard to keep. SIX
years ago one Hine, teller in the Ma
haiwe Bank, of Great Darlington, Mas
sachusetts, stole from the bank S24, 900,
after which he absconded to California.
Afterward, being convicted, he was sent
to prison. While there it was learned
from his letters, which were opened by
the jailer, that one Barry, of Barring
ton, helped him to get away on the
night of the robbery. For this service
Hine paid him $1,700, with 81, 800 of
which Barry's parents bought real estate.
This, as having been bought with its
money, the bank brought suit to recov-
er, and the courts have just rendered a
| decision in its favor.

A HERO IN COMMON LTFE.-On Mon

cross The railroad track In Atlantic ave-
nue., Brooklyn. A train rapidly APP
preached her, but, ignorant Of her
peril, she continued 10 60 forward. A
young man who saw the danger, al
though It's prospective victim was un-
known to him, sprang forward, and
just In front Of the advancing train
seized her to draw her away, but too
late. The locomotive struck both, and
both we're killed. This is the simple
story Of q man In common life who In
vited q herO's death, not in the peril Of
shipwreck or In the emergency Of
war, where HE self.sacri6Ce would be
heralded before men, but In the CON-
monplsce surroundings Of daily life,
amid which HE death scarcely makes
more Of a stir than the dropping Of o
