INFLUENCE OF HART ON SLEEP
Seamen and soldiers, from habit, can
sleep when they will and wake when
they will. The Emperor Napoleon was
striking instance of this fact. Captain
Barclay, when performing his extraordi-
nary feat Of walking one thousand miles
in as many successive hours, obtained
at last such a mastery over himself, that
he fell asleep the instant he lay down.
The faculty Of remaining asleep for a
great length of time is possessed ty
some individuals. Such was the case
with Quin, the celebrated player, who
could siumber for twenty four hours
successfully with Elizabeth Orvin, who
slept three -fourths of her life; with
Elisabeth Perkins, who slept for week
or fortnight at time; with Mary Ly-
weeks-and with many others, more or
less remarkable.
A phenomenon ofan opposite character
is also sometimes observed, for there
are individuals who can subsist on y
surprisingly small portion of sleep. The
celebrated General Elliot was an instance
of this kind he never slept more than
four hours out of twenty four. In all
other respects he was strikingly sbsti-
nent, his food consisting wholly of bread,
water and vegetables. Ina letter com
municated to Sir John Sinclair, by John
Gordon, Esq, of Swiney, mention i,
made of person named John Mackay
of Skcrray, who died in Strsthnave, in
the year 1907, aged ninety one he only
slept on an average four hours in the
twenty -four, and was = remarkably
robust and healthy man. Frederick
the Great Of Prussia, and the illu.triou:
surgeon, John Hunter, only slept FIVE
hours during the same period. The
celebrated French General Pchegru
informed Sir Gilbert Blanc that, durins
= whole years campaign, he had not
above one hours sleep in the twenty
four

THE BooBAB TrEE.-A curious pecu
lisrity Of this tree, found in Africa and
Madagascar, is that scarcely any injury
will destroy it. Fire scorching the ex-
terror does cot impair its vitality. Nor
can it be injured from within. as il is
quite common to fn6 it hollow. Even
cutting down does not exterminate it, for
ii continues to grow in length while lying
on the ground, and its roots, which reach
forty or fifty yard. from the trunk, retain
their vitality. Although the tree attains
an enormous age, Livingstone having
examined one which he judged to be one
thousand four hundred years old, it is at
tackled by disease which affects its
woody structure. SO in course of time its
own weight causes it TO fall in a mass OF
ruins.

Forth on Dressing.

the best out of the subject given me, as,
unfortunately, we can't have people made

women should be slight, graceful and pref

overpower the wearer. 1t should merely
be an appropriate frame for a charming

from it. So few women understand this

A faint sound, resembling the first pat

encouraging word to the horses, she
touched them with the whip. Away they

An Exciting Scene at Mu,phy ueet;no

At che Of Mr.. Murphy's meeting at
Troy, n. Y, after the usual introduction
exercise he brought before the audience a
man well known to the people of Troy.
and who had run through good prop
erty and a fair reputation by intemper-
ance, but had now resolved he would en-

dressed the people in very touching
manner, and to illustrate sentiment in
his brief discourse, he passed to the rear
OF the platform and brought forward a
wretched, ragged, trembling victim, the
very embodiment of runs ruin. This
wreck OF man, after moment of silence
was recognized by many of the audience,
and the simple recognition brought tears
to the eyes OF hundreds. Presently he
endeayored to relate his history:
his trembling limbs almost refused to
support his body, and his words, feeble
and broken, We're indistinct and incoher-
ent.
But gathering himself by strong
effort he gave a narrative of himself
from his boyhood in that CITY, his
refined and loving home; his college life;
his marriage; his gradual decline; his
dishonored parents; his dead wife; his
dlsgraced children; his own utter degra-
dation to a gutter drunkard; and there he
stood, having been brought from the Jail
to tell his story. and then return to COM

sum for his release by the payment of
the fine was raised, and the officer who
had him in charge left him in the care of
Mr.. Murphy and those who were with
him. The man belonged to one of the
most respected families in that city; was
highly gifted, and one of the most promi-
nent young men of his day. The scene
was the more affecting, as hundreds
knew the truth of his history.
