The Chicago luter-O jesn says the presi'
dent died poor, but from the lnter,Ocean's
own statement, coupled with other hcl', we
think he died leaving his family in good,
EASY condition. With an insurance on his
life of $50 900, q farm ut Mentor and resi-
dence in Washington worth $4,000, less
$ll500 OF mortgages on thom, and S25O
600 subscribed by the people to tho Field
fund, We ,hink the family ought to live com'
fortsbly enough. We do not object to the
$4,000 pension, however, suggested by the
In,er.Ocean. The later Ocean says: 1.-The

His property consisted of the Mentor farm
which is encountered by mortgage held by
DR.. Robinson, his next door neighbor, snd

Mentor farm Is worth perhaps $1,000, and

How Long Should We Sleeps
Felix L. Oswald in Popular Science Monthly
Zoe Tel


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 caprices Of hue
man volition; breathing, eating, drinking,
and even love, are only simi-voluntary &C
tons; and during 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
abused or exhausted body commits its or
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 Tor emotion), or by the pro-
cess of rapid assimilation, as during the

From the Milwaukee (Wis.) Republican.
Deputy United States Marshal Burke has
receiveda letter from his son, Lieut. Burke,
of the revenue cutter Corwin, which has
gone north in search Of the lost Jeanette.
The letter is dated Omalaska, May 49,. It
says:
1--WE arrived here on the 18th, after a
stormy passage, from San Francisco. The
weather was perfectly horrible. I never
saw anything like it-strong wind, highsea,

were busy repairing the sheathing, which
had been badly torn off during the passage
from San Francisco; to-day we are taking
in coal. Will sail to- morrow for the Seal
Islands, from thence will go across Behring
Sea to the Siberian coast. Expect to reach
that cape within a week. At that
point we will send sledge party
to the westward along the north
shore of Siberia for a distance Of 500 to 800
miles to learn some information regarding
the Jeanette. It will require six weeks to
make the trip. While the party is away we
will spend some time in Behring Strait, and
settle the much disputed question as to the
current. We are also 10 make extensive

Dark and cool the water lies

In the old me-honored well;
Down deep the bucket flies,
And how often who can tell?
For the school-boy, hot with play,
For the lab0rer tired with toll,
For the traveller on his way,
Doth the treless rope uncoi.
And how often, who can tell?
Or, who first the gracious draught
Drew up from the bounteous well.
Or, who sunk the ancient shaft?
They are dust, who slaked their thirst
At the little silver fount
In the wild woods, where it first
Called the huntsman to dismount.
They are dust, the pioneers,
Who the storm. armed forest broke.
Where the old we'll now appears,
Where now curls the village sm oke
So shall we within the vale
With our children's children dwell,
But the waters ne'er shall fail
In the old time honored well.

DISEASES OF MINERS.

The diseases prevalent among la
borers who work in damp or wet gal
leries are largely governed by acces-
sorry circumstances. No morbid
system is developed among those who
work in gallery which is simply
damp and Of temperature not ex-
ceeding $50. But if cold water falls
upon them, or if they have to put
their legs IN water, they become sub
ject to lumbago, sciatica, to indefinite
pain in their limbs, and often to rheu-

times chronic, most frequently local
lied in a single generally that
of the left knee, upon which the pick
men and beavers rest in working. In
galleries saturated with moisture and
where the temperature exceeds 770 or
So, the workmen are soon overcome
with an extreme lassitude; they get
hot, they gasp for breath, the sweat
rolls down their bodies, and they are
obliged to stop working and rest for a
while in cooler spot. A rapid ener-
vation compels frequent changes of
the men in the gallery, and sudoral or
military eruptions occur, sometimes
boils, rarely eczema. If, while the
gallery is constantly damp, the air is
vitiated by poisonous or irrepressible
gases, and if the water contains sui
pilates or sulphuric acids in solution,
the men, in addition to pains in their
limbs and difficulties in breathing,
experience lively itchings and painful
smarts wherever the surface of the skin
has been abraded. Those who have
labored tor long time IN the damp
galleries contract chronic inf1amma-
tion of the gums, together with mus
cular pains in the limbs, and have
often intestinal troubles and spots of
purpura. These phenomena indicate
the coming on of a mild form of sour
vey. The remedies are improvement
of the sanitary conditions of the
mines and the homes of the miners,
and the usual applications for scurvy
whenever the symptoms of that disease
appear.-Er.

WHITE BUEEALOS.

White buffalos have frequently
been seen and killed. All the Indian
tribes regard them as "big incidence"
but they have different superstitions
regarding them. For instance, Catlin,
the painter, while among the Man.
dams in 1892, saw a white buffalo
robe erected on pole in their viii
lage as a sacrifice to the Great Spirit.
1t had been purchased from the Black
feet, who killed the buffalo, for eight
horses and quantity OF goods. On
the other hand the Comanches believe
it very dangerous to see white buff
falo. In 1860 l saw young Com
anche who had seen a white buffalo
return to his camp almost dead with
fear. He was taken INTO his tent, the
medicine men were sent for, and they
smoked him and kept up incantations
over him day and night for week.
When he came out he believed he had
a very narrow escape from death. In
1867 white buffalo was killed by a
white man on the north fork of the
Red river, Indian territory, and the
hide presented to Gen. Grierson. He
desired to have it dressed to preserve
1t, but failed to get any Indian to un-
'dertake the task for long time. At
last he prevailed upon a Comanche
chief named Horseback. HORSEBACK
selected one of his squaws, had the
medicine men of his band go through
various ceremonies over her to pre-
serve her life, and then placed her in
a teepee some distance from his camp,
where the hide was taken to her by a
soldier and brought away by him
when dressed. No other Indian would
look at the hide, much less touch it.
Her food was lett at some distance
from her teepee, and when the robe
was dressed, medicine ceremonies
were held over her before she was al
lowed to rejoin the camp. l twitted
Horseback about the fear of the robe,
calling attention to the fact that no
harm befel any of the white men who
handled the robe, but he answered
that such might be the case, but what
was bad medicine for a Comarche
might be good medicine for white
man, and vice versa. He proposed to
take no risks in the matter.

MINING EDUCATION IN THE
EAST.

The east has graduated in mining
in the school Of experience. The
people of that section of our beloved
country say the price was high, but
cheap as c,uld be expected for such
good schooling. The Boston Eeono-
mist says: "We think it admits of no
doubt that mining operators and pro-
fessional promoters will, in the future,
find 1t much less easy to advance their
schemes in the eastern investors than
they have in the past. The eastern
public has undergone during the last
few years severe and practical course
of education, and though it Is poorer
by millions of dollars in money than
it was before that course began, it is
decidedly richer in experience which
is likely to prove finally of inestima-
bic value to it. 1t has learned that
there are mines and mines; it has
learned that bonanzas are Of such fire.

Gates representing a capitalization
somewhere in the millions is not nee
essary evidence of the existence of

mining, no more than any other busi-
ness enterprise, is to be undertaken in
blindfold condition. These, are
things that it was absolutely necessary
that the public should learn sooner or
later, and we do not know that it
could have been acquired at low

as easy as it used to be to tyrannize
and trampie upon a people and over
come their public opinion. We have
every nation in Europe, America and
Australia looking intently at the strug-
gle between the Irish people and land
lordism, already worthy of the occa-
sion. Don't let it be said that you
faltered in this, perhaps the last and
greatest struggle that Ireland will ever
have to make for the freedom of her
land. The sacrifices you are asked to
make are not much. We have three.
fourths of the French press on our
side, which only months ago was
against us. We have many of the
state legislatures of America passing
resolutions Of sympathy with the Irish
nation. Doing our duty in opposing
this bill, say that in all my political
life l shall look back with no greater
satisfaction to any portion of it than
to my opposition to the suspension of
habeas corpus. Fellow countrymen,
l leave you with the utmost confidence
that you will do your duty in the COM
ing crisis, and will meet the govern
ment policy with policy Of passive
resistance. Patiently suffer anything
they put upon you, avoid retaliation
or attempting to meet force with force.
Stand by and encourage each other in
your suffering; refuse to take farms
from which your neighbors have been
evicted. Refuse to pay unjust rents,
that this measure of coercion will
fall harmless upon you. The tenant
farmers are the men to whom we look
to-day to display their courage"
