Their Firs. Annual Report.

The Society for the Prevention o.
Cruelty to Animals held a meeting al
the Greenlaw o~pershouse last night tc
hear the first annual report. Some.
thing near a hundred persons were in
attendance, and the proceedings were
interesting as we'll as entertaining and
instructive. The society began opera.
tions a year ago last month, having
secured a charter on the 18th day Of
April. The short supply Of funds
restricted operations, but much good
has been accomplished. The member
ship is over 100, of whom 30 are non.
paying and IS paying. Tho receipts
for the year reach $776.5O, of which
S255 was advanced by President Thos,
Gale, and there is now $40 in the
treasury, and $50 Of the amount was
contributed by Mrs. Appleton,
Of Boston. The society has
the sympathy and good will Of
the community, and they have pur-
sued as mild a course as the delicate
circumstances surrounding them
would permit, only resorting to ex-
treme or harsh measures when all
others fail. Animal cruelty has been
so commonly practiced that many In
fist it without thought, and, upon at
tention being called to their course,
desist at once; while in some cases
arrest and punishment is the only
remedy. OF the cases taken into
court but one was appealed. and one
instituted by Mr.. Rounds for damages
secured judgment for Sc, which was
reversed, and Mr.. Rounds lost for the
costs in the higher court. He had
overloaded a mule with coke, and it is
said he will carry the case to tho su-
preme court. More varied cruelty to
beasts occurs here than the public is
aware of, and many instances must be
passed over by the society. Over
loading drays, wagons aud street cars,
and keeping cows without food or
shelter, call for remedy. Cruelty to
children is also complained of, but is
out Of the scope of the society. In
one case a man was sent to the island
ten months for abusing a boy,
and the lad was bound out by the
probate court to a good citizen.
Scanty means sometimes caused the
members to almost give up in despair,
bu new courage is infused and the
noble work goes on. Instead Of one
agent the society needs three; more
funds are wanted, andt field of duty
should be enlarged 50 hat all cruelty
may be suppressed. The new state
law gives all fines and forfeitures to
the society, and this will afford some
increase of revenue.
The foregoing is a synopsis Of Pres
ident Gales report to the society. The
secretary, Mr.. Lane, also made an in
teresting report, which contained
much that was worth listening to.
The society was addressed by the Rev.
Rabbi Samield and Rev. II. A. Jones.
Several new members presented their
names for admission, and various con-
tributions were received. The society
is growing in strength and prosperity,
and its field of duty isa wide one.

hours heretofore, and has eaten it wi relish.
He has suffered no pain when moved or IN
dressing his wound, and continues bright anu
cheerful. Being asked whether any seriously
unfavorable symptoms are likely to appear now
that tho crisis has passed, DR.. Reyburn said:
l should not like to promise al uninterrupted
and unvanng course OF Improvement, but
every prospect OF the presidents recovery.
FRIDAY. JULY Is.
The attending physicians practically admit
that the president is out of danger and that II
no untayorable development takes place he will
coon have recovered sufficiently to transact the
| necessary executive business in so far as%ign
ing papers and the execution Of routine duty is
concerned.
SATURDAY, JULY Is.
At the end of the second week since the
shooting, the president is ina greatly improved
condition. The doctors do not yet pronounce
him entirely out of danger, but are very conf
said that he had not felt as sanguine OF the
presidents condition as now. The president
has lost about twenty pounds of flesh. He was
informed Of Mr.. Conkling's call but made no
remarks He was also Informed of the election
Of Mr.. Miller at Albany, and expressed his
pleasure, saying: II am glad Of it."
SUNDAY, JULY 18th.
The president passed very comfortable
day Dr. Boynton, in conversation, expressed
the opinion that the critical period had passed,
and although extremely weak, the president is
now out of danger. No doubt he will gain
strength daily now, and there is every reason
for his ultimate recovery. He ate hearty
meal with great relish. The bulletins for a
week past being ali of the same tenor, will DO
be continued in this paper unless change
change takes place for the worse.

How Long Should We Sleep!
Felix L. Oswald in Popular Science MONTH,
for July

Felix l. Oswald in Popular Science Monthly
for July.
The vital processes of man, like those of
all his FELLOW creatures, are partly con-
trolled by automic tendencies. Some func-
tons of our internal economy are too i'm
portant to be trusted to tie caplices of hu.
man volition; breathing, eating, drinking
and even love, are only SINH voluntary ac-
tons; and during a period varying from
one-fourth to two-fifths Of each solar day
the conscious activity of the senses under.
goes complete suspense. the cerebral
workshop is closed for repairs, and the
ganism into the healing hands of Nature.
Under favorable conditions eight hours of
undisturbed sleep would almost suffice to
counteract the physiological mischief of
sixteen working hours. During sleep the
organ of consciousness is at rest, and the
energies of the system seem to be concen-
trated on the function of nutrition and the
renewal of the vital energy in general; sleep
promotes digestion, repairs the waste OF
the muscular tissue, favors the process of
cutaneous excretion, and reneWs the vigor
of the mental faculties.
The amount Of sleep required by man is
generally proportionate to the waste of vital
strength, whether by muscular exertion,
mental activity (or emotion), or by the pro-
cess of rapid assimilation, as during the
first years Of growth and during the recov-
cry from an exhausting disease. The
weight of new born child increases more
rapidly than that of eupeptic adult, en-
joying liberal diet after period of star
walton, and, though an infant is incapable
of forming abstract Ideas, We need not
doubt that the variety of new and bewilder
ing impressions must overrask its little
sensorlum in a few hours. Nurslings
should therefore be permitted to sleep to
their full satisfaction; weakly babies; es-
pecially, need sleep more than food, and it
is the safest plan never to disturb a child's
slumber when the regularity of his breath
ing indicates the healthfulness of his re-
pose; there is little danger Of his "over-
sleeping" himself in moderately warme d.
WELL ventilated room. Never mind about
meal times; hunger will awaken him at the
| right moment, or teach him to make up for
lost time. Three or four musings in the
twenty four hours are enough; DR.. G. E.
Page, who has made the problem of infant
diet his special study, believes that SO per
cent. of the enormous number Of children
dying under years of age are killed by
being coaxed to guzzle till they are hope
less]y diseased with fatty degeneration

Personal Gossip.

In note to the Hartford Courant. Mrs.
Isabella B. Hooker says Of Gail Hamilton:
"She is, perhaps, the only literary woman
of note in this country or in England who
is opposed to the political equality of her
sex. She prefers the mans cause always,
fights with mannish weapons. and even so
distinguished a republican leader as Sena-
tor Blaine has often consented to dodge a
fair blow by accepting her championship. d
General Miles, the Indian fighter, was
asleep in the house of his brother in law,
Colgate Hoyt, of Yonkers, N. Y, when it
was entered and robbed of 81, 900 worth of
wedding presents.
The wife of James c. Ryan, of Scher-
lanyx, Mich, ran away from home, about
ten days ago, with her little daughter and
IS, 900 in money. She was captured in
Chicago, and consented to return with her
husband.
Nine. Ines Cache, of Paris, formerly a
lyric artist, will soon obtain the degree of
doctor of medicine. Three years ago this
lady was compelled to give up the theatrical
career by chronic laryngitis. In 1881 she
passed her examination as first class mid
wife, and few days ago passed her first
examination for the degree of doctor Of
medicine before the faculty of Paris.
