To point to that within the vail.

Sleep.


amount OF sleep We must have in
order to be and to keep healthful.
There are, of course, many opinions
on the subject, and zach phy sician
naturally assumes to be excellent
authority. A view widely held is
that persons who work with their
brains need eight hours of sound
sleep. aud will suffer, soon or late,
unless they average as much as
that. Some persons maintain that
six hours are sufficient for any Wig.
orous person; oibers that I've will
answer. No absolute rule, however,
can be laid down. The quantity Of
sleep depends very largely on the
man and his habit. He who has
been accustomed TO sleep eight
hours out ofthe twenty four thinks
1t impossible to get on with any
thing less He who lies in bed fivo
or six hours DISQUALIFICATION feels
the need of any more. Sleep, in.
deed, can readily be regulated by
will and practice; occupation and
self.interest often governing tho
matter. Most of us can, after q lit
tie while, wake up at any time We
wish. and many can drop asleep at
once, if they give their attention to
it. Napoleon Bonapart could slip
into Inconsistencies the moment he
lay down; sleep tor an hour, half an
hour, ten or five minutes, as he
wished. And he hardly ever slept
more than fOnr hours u night, al.
though he used his brain and nerves,
not to speak of his body, as few men
have before or since. QaiH, the
actor, on the other hand, wOnld
sleep 20 consecutive hours. Not a
few persons sleep any length Of
time if nndistnrbed, never waking
spontaneously where there is quiet,
