Gentlemen and mates, take off your hats
while read you this letter.
Tho letter, which bore evidence OF
having been read and read again, ran as
follows:

Sleep.

There is no fact more clearly estab-
lished in the physiology of man than
this: that the brain eXpends its energies
and itself during the hours of wakeful-
ness, and that these are recuperated
during sleep; if the recuperation does
not equal the expenditure, the brain
withers-this is insanity. Thus it is,
that in early English history, persons
who were condemned to death by being
prevented from sleeping, always died
raving maniacs thus it is also, that those
who are starved to death become insane;
the brain is not nourished, and they can
not sleep. The practical inferences are
three:
First-Those who think most, who do
most brain work, require most sleep.
Second-That time ''saved" from nec-
essary sleep is infallibly destructive to
mind, body and estate.
Third-Give yourself, your children,
your servants, give all who are under
you. the fullest amount of sleep they will
take, by compelling them to go to bed at
some regular early hour, and to rise in
the morning the moment they awake of
themselves; and within fortnight, Ma
ture, with almost the regularity of the
rising sun, will unloose the bonds of
sleep the moment enough repose has
been secured for the wants of the system.
This is the only safe and sufficient rule;
and as to the question how much sleep
any one requires, each must be rule
for himself; great Nature will never fail
to write it out to the observer, under the
regulations just given.-HaWs Journal
of Health.

The Philippine Islands,

In these gardens Of the sun Nature has
outdone herself in combining the condi-
ton Of ease and riches. The soil is
everywhere fertile and well-watered,
and at every stage of elevation required
by the varieties Of tropical products, and
the contours of the 800 islands are in
dented by deep, shelteriug harbors and
arms Of the sea, affording cheap access
by water to all the centers of produc-
tion. The islands are inhabited by a
semi-civlized, docile and moderately in
dustrious race, of Malay origin, number
ing about 100000 souls. The Span
iards have occupied the islands for 800
years and have had every opportunity
during that time of showing what they
could make of them. Their admins
tration may be sucointly and not very in
accurately summed UP in this-they
have done everything they ought not to
have done, and left alone everything they
ought to have done.
The true aborigines of the Philippines
are not the 6,000,000 of Malayan Indi-
ans. In the mountains and the less
habitable parts of the islands are several
tribes of savages who have not been
brought within the government OF the
priests. The Negritos are wooliy-headed
people of the true African type, who
live on roots and wild fruit which re-
quire no labor. They are harmless and
docile. The Iggrotos, straight-haired
tribe, fierce and untamable, inhabiting
still more remote parts of the Jungle,
are very little known to the Spaniards.
1adeed, with the exception of the island
OF Luzon, the Philippines remain vir-
tually unexplored country.
HE Indians" as the Spaniards call
the natives, are fine race, endowed
with the lighter graces which form such
a pleasing feature in the Burmese and
Japanese, in wide contrast with the
solemnity of the native of the Indian
peninsula on the one hand, and the
prosaic, toiling Chinese on the other.
These Spanish Indians are passionately
fond OF dress and personal decoration.
and are given to pleasure. To certain
point they will work, but they are i'm
provident and devoid of ambition, spend
ing their earnings freely and taking no
thought for the morrow. Their neces-
sary wants being intinitesimally small, n
poor member of family is no apprecia-
BILE burden, and, consequently there are
no signs of poverty or pauperism among
them.
There is but one town, properly So
called, in all the Philippine islands,
which is Manila, and the rule of the
Church is absolute there also. That no
foreign missionaries are allowed goes
without saying, and the English resi-
dents have to dispense with the luxury
of consular chaplain and must conduct
their workshop, if at all, in strict pri-
vacy. The priest is lord of the Sabbath
day, and no labor can be employed in
Manila on Sunday without an order from
the Archbishop, who in all such matters
is supreme over all Government func-
tionaries, from the highest to the
lowest. t.--London Times.

A BRAVE REoRUIT.-Tom was a very good
boy, sharp and intelligent but had the repu-
tation of being a coward. Almost anything
would excite his nerves or timidity. But he
got patriotic when the war began and entered
In the three months service. He was in the
skirmishes on several occasions, but was in no
regular battle. He behaved splendidly, and
almost blotted out the reputation he had at
home. The boys in his company had all con-
fdence in him. When Tom returned home he
knew more Of the world than he did when he
left. Some of his old chums who did not go
to war edged around him to hear him talk
boys, you may laugh and wink" said Tom,
"Dut you don't know what hard times is you
couldn't spell It in less than three months. {"
