The most profound mathematician
could not estimate the amount OF
valuable time that is constantly be-
ing wasted, and that, too, in . most
wanton manner, by both the young
and old. It is only a. toe late an
hour these spendthrifts Of time begin
to see the folly Of which they have
been guilty in foolishly wasting so
much of their valuable time. Physi-
clans have ascertained and determ-
ined Just the number Of hours neces-
sary for the needful refreshments Of
mind and body, and for the healthy
continuance Of this life; yet how
many need or are governed BY this
allotment of time for sleep2 A
young man, IL he goes to school'or
business, will arise at only such q
time as will allow him sufficient
time to prepare his toilet, eat his
breakfast, and reach In time his
school or place of business; and
this wanton habit is not confined to
young men. Young ladies, men and
women, all are guilty Of wantonly
wasting their time. TO sleep one or
two hours longer than is necessary
deducts just 50 much from the re-
freshment we otherwise would be-
stow on our mind aud body; for we
are benefited only by just the requi-
site quantity Of sleep-no more. All
in excess of that quantity does the
recipient no good whatsoever-on
the contrary is productive of injury
for it weskens the body and stupi-
fies the mind. But when we take
that only which nature demands, the
body is invigorated, and all-its pow
ers are renewed aud invigorated.
Let those persons who are guilty of
sleeping late in the morning, and
those who, when arisen, only idle
away their time, try, Just for an ex-
pertinent, and SEQ how much can be
accomplished in day in which net
an hour, nor fractional part of an
hour has been wasted. Besides, this
habit Of industry will in time be-
come a part, SO to speak, q; their
second nature; aud the interest sc-
cruins therefrom will not come
amiss, financially or intel!sctnst!y.-

FRED LIGHTNER DEAD.-The many
Friends and acquaintances Of Fred Light
ner were surprised and panied to learn of
his sudden death yesterday. He had
been in rather poor health for long
time, but his malady was not considered
alarming. Mr.. Lightner was born in
Homberg, Hesse Darmstadt in 1910, and
was consequently in his sixtieth year of
his age. He was literally educated in
his native town, and was schoolmate
of Hon. Carl Schurz, Secretary of the
Interior. In 1913 he came to California,
and for number Of years thereafter he
lived in Weavorvile. He came 20
Chico when the town was quite small,
and by his frugal habits and strict at
tcntion to business amassed considerable
property, which he disposed ofby bequest,
Chas. Faulkner and VIM. Kosh being
named as executors. The bulk Of his
estate he gives to his sisters, but there
are number of small bequests to ether
friends and relatives, charitable institu
tions, etc. After the payment of his
debts and the bequests above mentioned,
the remainder goes towards the purchase e
OF Il steam fire engine for the town. His
funeral took place from his late residence
this afternoon at o'clock, and was at,
tended by large number Of cilzens.--

WEATuER.-There is change at last;
bat inasmuch as it does not storm yet
doubts are entertained whether it will
put any change in the pockets Of our peo
pie. For over two months it has frozen
hard every night. This Friday morning
is the first in that time that the pump at
our residence has not been frozen tight
and hard. To day is February 7th, and
in some Of the claims in Weaver Basin
no water has been run over the banks
this season. What the future may have
in store none can tell but this commun-
ity will now be satisfied with compNra
tive short run of water. At this writing
the sky is cloudad, and it may be that IL
storm is brewing.

LoGANsroBT, IND, Aug. 23.-It is not gen
orally known that tribe of Indians, not
very numerous, but still maintaining the
name and organization OF tribe, inhabits
Miami County, this State, in the vicinity OF
Peru.
The greater part of the tribe, which does
not exceed in number 100 souls, are i'm.
proydent and lazy beyond precedent. They
are the fag end of the historic Miami tribe,
and are periodically paid off by the Gov
ernment.
Tuesday was payday with them, and it is
hardly necessary to state that night found
the Peru caaboose full of warriors and the
warriors full of fre-water. They only get
about $50 apiece annually, which is in the
nature of interest.
Next year their payments stop, and they
will receive the principal due them from
the Government-some $500 piece. Ga
briel Godfrey and Piny-o-to-mah, the head
men, are trying to get the tribe to consent
to the Governments keeping the principal
and paying yearly annuity. as at present
They will probably insist on the money,
however, and having received it they will
spend it all in about month on bowling
old drunk.
