Wesley suggests six as the least time

during his life he never knew anyone
to retain vigorous health, even for a
year, with less quantity than six
hours, and he thought that women
required more than men. Excess of
sleep is very bad In its influence; pro-
ducess dullness of mind and body,
corpulency and disposition to apop

brother of death, and says that moth

4 Marvellous Milk Story.

y novel experiment has been tried
in connection with the pilgrimage of
the Baltimore and Washington
Knights Templar to this city When
the special train left Washington,
Frank X. Ward, proprietor Of the
Alderney Diaries, placed 200 gallons
of milk IN the hotel car of the train
with the understanding that the milk
should be as sweet when it arrived in
San Francisco as when he placed it
aboard the car. If the milk was de
ivered in this condition, he was to re
ceive 81 per gallon. A Call reporter
yesterday boarded the train carrying
the milk, and was treated to a large
glass of the lacteal fluid by Mr.. Ward,
and was compelled to admit that it
was as sweet as any he had ever tasted
The gentleman has therefore earned
his money. The milk is to be served
up this morning on the tables of the
Russ House, at which place the AT
lantic Club" which brought the milk
on its train, has its headquarters. Mr..
Ward also ventured the information
that he could ship milk any desired
distance, and that it would be Just as
sweet on reaching its destination as
on the day of shipment. The expert
ment has been watched with consider
able interest by both dairymen and
milk consumers, all of whom wall be
greatly rejoiced by the success of Mr..
Ward venture

An Apple Famine,

From the New York Commercial Advertiser,
There is exceedingly discouraging
news from the apple crop, and, unless
some remarkable change takes place in
the great apple growing sections of
the country, famine in this import
ant fruit product is inevitable. The
apple crop of the Northwest is a fail
ure, and reports from the great grow
ing centers of this State, New England
and the South make a very dismal
showing. AS for New Jersey, its
farmers are simply in state border
ing on des pair. The supply of light
ming has given out, and the stills are
sileAt. 1t is quite as impossible to
manufacture applej&ck withoutapples
as it was for the lsraclites to make
bricks without straw. \ famine in
apples means famine in jack, and
this is the why the Jerseyman sits
down and weeps, refusing to be com
forted.

The Telegraph Wire Nuisance.

WASHINGTON, Sept 4.-The telc-
graph companies whose lines ex-
tend into this city, includ-
ing the Western Union, Amer
lean Rapid and 3altomore & Ohio
companies have recently made appli-
cation TO the district comm missioners
far leave to erect new lines of poles or
to reset the old lines in various parts
of the city. These applications have
all been denied upon the ground that
the poles and wires disfgure the
streets and interfere with the growing
trees. The request of the Western
Union company, which was referred
to Capt. Green, was returned with
the following endorsement. No. 4.
Recommends that in place of erecting
new and larger poles this trunk line
should be placed under ground with
out delay" 1t is understood that
Major Lidencker and Capt. Green
now have under consideration a plan
for an underground system of wires
within the city limits and that the
District Telegraph company will
shortly begin the work of laying their
wires under ground as an experiment.

JOHN ROACA'S VIEWS.
On Labor. Free Ships. Etc

WASHINGTON, Sept 4.-John Roach,
the great ship builder, was before the
subcommittee of the senate today
and testified. He said he emplyed
abont 5000 hands. When he began
wages We're $3.50. They have grad
ual.y improved, and hours of labor
have been shortened. There was no
reason why every industrious work
ingman should not own his own
house He believed the government
ought to legislate i'll the interest of
the working man. Ills pay roll last
year was 81, 5S7, 900. He said he had
men now with him who first started
with him in business, and now they
owned their own houses There should
be more cooperation of laborers and
capitalists. 1t would never do for Ia
Dor to combine by itself and become
the foe of capital. The sooner labor
ing men advocated stand from which
they could realize the force of the
maxim that "a man who can not
make can not own," the better for all
concerned.
