Sleep at Night.

Sunshine is given US for use that We
may require little artificial light. Gas,
oil and candles alike vitiate the air.
| The fewer hours spent in artificial light
the better; and this suggests of itself
that within reasonable limits the soon
er we go to rest after dark the better.
We require in the cold season of win
ter, when the nights are long, much
more of sleep than we do in the sum-
mer. On the longest day of the year
seven hours of sleep are sufficient for
most men and women who are not in
the prime of life. On the shortest day
nine hours of sleep is not over much,
and for those who are weak ten or
twelve hours may be taken with real
advantage. In winter children should
always have ten or twelve hours of
sleep. 1t is not idleness to indulge to
that extent, but an actual saving,
storing up of invigorated existence for
the future. Such rest can only be OBJ
tanned by going to bed very early, say
at eight or nine o'clock. 1t is wrong as
1t ever can be that our legislators
should often be sitting up, as we know
they do time after time, in the dead of
night, trying against life to legislate for
life. 1t is most foolish that public
writers, who hold so many responsible
tiles in their hands should be called
upon to exercise their craft at time
when all their nature is calling out to
them, "Rest, rest, rest" There are
many who will disagree with me in
saying these things, but nature is on
my side. In every man, woman or
child there is at or about the early time
| have named, persistent, periodical
desire for sleep, which, taken at the
flood, leads to good sound nights
rest, and which, resisted, never duly
returns, but is replaced by surrepti-
tious sleep, broken by wearying dreams,
restless limbs, and but partial restora-
tion of vital power. Work with the sun
as far as possible. Chicago Ledger.

a Simple Fire-Escape.

AS many agOnizing deaths occur ev-
cry year in Europe and America
through persons not being able to es-
cape from their bedrooms, especially
in the monster hotels, during a fire.
perhaps you will allow me to suggest
what / think would be a simple and
effective means of escape. Let each
bedroom be supplied with a coil of
rope, made in part, at least, of some
material which shall resist the action
of fire, to which it may possibly be
subjected. Let strong hook be fitted
within the room and below the win
dow over which an eye at one end of
the rope may be slipped. Let three or
four broad flexible rings be put on the
rope at the end which is in the room.
Let the other end of the rope be pro-
vlded with strong pointed iron bolt,
to be driven into the ground of the
street, that the rope may be kept
straight if necessary. The modus op-
erdndt of esc1pe is as follows suppose
a person is aroused to find that exit to
the street by the usual way is cut off
He takes down the coil of rope, slips
the eye into the hook, opens the win
dow, and lowers himself hand-under-
hand into the street. Another follows
his example, and SO on. If there are
fifty windows thus provided, some
hundreds of persons may escape in this
way in few minutes. But suppose
the fire has taken such hold below. OF
there are ladies and children in ones.
ton, who might not perhops have the
GOODNESS or ability to employ this band
under-hand method, but who have the
instinct of self-preservation sufficiently
strong to hold on aud slide down. Ir
this case the rope could be inclined al
an angle with the house and kept il
position by the spectators below, an6
the descent would be easy, the flexible
hand-ring running down the rope car.

Courage in Disease.

Many life has been saved by the
moral courage of a sufferer. 1t is not
alone in bearing the pain of operations
or the misery of confinement in a sick
room this self help becomes of vital mo-
ment, but in the monotonous tracking
of weary path, and the vigorous dis
charge of ordinary duty. How manv a
victim of incurable disease has lived on
through years of suffering, patiently
and resolutely hoping against hope, or
what is better, living down despair,
until the virulence of threatening NAL
ady has died out, and it has ceased to
be destructive, although its physical
characteristics remained This power
of "good spirits" is matter of high
moment to the sick and weakly. To
the former it may mean the ability to
survive, to the latter the possibility of
Outliving OF living in spite of a disease.
1t is, therefore, of the greatest impor-
tance to cultivate the highest and most
buoyant frame of mind which the con-
ditions will admit. The same energy
which takes the form of mental activity
is vital to the work of the organism.
Mental influences effect the system, and
a joyous spirit not only relieves pain,
but increases the momentum of life in
the body. The victims of disease do
not commonly sufficiently appreciate
the value and use of "good spirits.n
They too often settle down in despair
when professional Judgment deter
mines the existence of some latent or
chronic malady. The fact that it is
probable they will die of particular
disease casts so deep a gloom over their
prospect that through fear of death they
are all their lifetime subject to bondage.
The multitude of healthy persons who
wear out their strength by exhausting
Journeys and perpetual anxieties for
health is very great, and the policy in
which they indulge is exceedingly short
sighted. Most of the sorrowful and
worried cripples who drag out miser-
able lives in this way would be less
wretched and live longer if they were
more hopeful. 1t is useless to expect
that any one can he reasoned into a
lighter frame of mind, but it is desra-
BILE that all should be taught to under
stand the sustaining and often even
curative power of "good spirits
