Sleep.
tFrom Halls journal Of Health.]

(From Halls Journal Of Health.)
Men, women and children require Just
so much sleep, and if they do not have
it suffer in consequence. do not think
a person should be walked in the morn
ing, and for this reason, when a man
falls asleep he is in the shop for repairs,
as the railroad men say. His frame and
all his intricate machinery is being over
hauled and made ready for the next
days work. The wear Of the previous
day is being repaired. Nature is doing
that herself. She knows what the tired
frame needs just as she knows how to
make the heart throb, and send the
blood coursipg through the veins. Then
she takes that tired frame, lays it down
on bed, surrounds it with the refresh
ing air of night, covers it with the soft
darkness and lets the man rest. Tired
natures sweet restorer, balmy sleep"
visits him, and as the hours wear by his
energies are renewed, his strength comes
back, and finally when morning breaks
and the sunlight steals through the lat
tice, he opens bis eyes and is himself
again. Or if he is early to bed he
awakes with the cocks Gro wing. Now
who shall 70 to that mans side an hour
before he has opened his eyes, and say
to nature, stand aside and let him get
up; he has had enough of rest? Well,
nature will say, You can take him if
you will, but I will charge him with an
hours loss Of sleep, and I'll collect it
out of his bones and nerves and his hair
and eysight. You can't cheat me. I'll
find property to levy on =

WILLARD WILL RETIRE.
His Resignation to be Presented to the
Board Of Directors.

New YORK, December 31.-Samuel
Wilkinson, secretary of the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company, states that
he knows nothing of the reported resig-
nation of President Willard. Other Off
cials state that although no official
papers have yet passed between the par
ties interested, Wizards resignation is
considered certain. They state that the
resignation will be made public on
Thursday.
Willard is somewhat better, but is still
suffering from nervous prostration. His
resignation as president Ct the Northern
Pacific Railroad will be presented at the
annual meeting of directors January
4th. The probable successor of Willard
is being freely discussed on the street.
It is thought Frederick Billings. of Bos-
ton, will be pushed by the New England
stockholders and A. j. Cassat of Penn
sylvania, by other parties in the interest.
Nothing positive can be ascertained
from the officials of Northern Pacific
Company or from members of the bond
syndicate regarding the much talked of
change, although developments are ex-
pected shortly.

Then the jury gave verdict in test
case. But it is announced that an ap-
peal will be taken, and if this is done it
may be years before the widow gets
what she is entitled to-though that she
will never get, for large part of it will
be eaten up in the costs. There is
nothing in cases of this kind to allay the
doubts of any one who is hesitating
about taking life policy, for the readi.
ness which the wealthy corporations dis
play in availing themselves of technical
defenses when called upon by the bene-
ficiary, especially where large amounts
are involved, is well enough known.
When life insurance companies resist
payment on substantial grounds, which

tanned by the press as universally as

Marital VENGEANCE.

(Paris Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.l
Immediately below Paris there is q
large island in the Seine which extends
from the Point de Courbevoie to Sures-
mes, and which is not less than mile
long. It is now known as the lie de
Rothschild, because it belongs to the
wealthy Jewish banker. This island was
in the latter part of the last century the
scene of an act of marital vengeance,
whose here died only month ago at the
age of l09 years. His name was Yves
Coriedie, and he was the last survivor of
the war Of the Vendee, as we'll as the
brigands who were the terror of France
during tho dirootory--r veteran was
born in 1774, and, afeer having fought
bravely under Catbelieu for the royal
cause against the republicans, retired
to Brest at the end of the war and mar
ried cousin who had small fortune,
and there heopeneda a small grocer shop.
One night his wife eloped with the con-
tents of the till and gendarme. Yves
determined to find the fugitives, and fol-
lowed their trace on foot as far as Char
tres, where, under the pretence of starv-
alton, he enrolled himself in band of
OAA60ANoS WAOS Ou1AA6 oOVOAoA yO0A .
carried on successful campaign in the
environs of that city. The chief was at
last captured and guillotined, and then
the band dispersed.
Yves, who had not forgotten his re-
venge, had now a snug little capital
ssved up from his share in the plunder
of the band. Accompanied by two COM
rades, he again began search for his
faithless wife, and at last succeeded in
tracing her and her lover, who had gone
into the milling business on what is now
the lie de Rothschild. Yves and his
two accomplices succeeded in surprising
the ex-gendarme and his wife, and, bav-
ing stripped them naked and fastened
them down to the floor, they filed the
room with straw, which they set on fire,
and then went away and left the couple
to their fate. After having satisfied bis
vengeance in this horrible manner, Yves
Coriedie succeeded in escaping to Bel
GUM, thence to England, where he
made a moderate fortune. After the
restoration he returned to France and
settled down at Vannes. It was only
through manuscript entitled " History
of My Life" which he left to his heirs,
that the facts which I have just related
became known.

Agriculture i'm Alaska.


The visitor to Alaska is at once struck
by the luxuriance of the vegetation, and
is apt to hastily draw the inference that
farming would be successful. But there
are two obstacles in the way. In the
first place, the surface of southeastern
Alaska is exceedingly mountainous. At
Bartlett's Bay, near the entrance of
Gracier Bay, there is an extent of: COM
paratively level land, but no expert
ments have yet been made to ascertain
it's capabilities, But even were the land
all that could be desired the climate
would be against the success of any
such experime Mt. The average number
of rainy days is two hundred and forty
five, and the average rainfall is not con-
fined to any one portion of the year, but
even in July or August ten consecutive
days of fair weather are exceptional. It
will be readily seen that fruit or crops
have no chance to ripen. Near Juneau
hay has been raised this year, but even
in the latter part of July it was not
ready to cut. Such vegetables as pota-
toes and turnips have been raised with
fair success at Sitka and Fort Wrangle,
but these places are still dependent up
on the more southern countries for sup
plies. Salmonberries, blueberries,
cranberries, whortleberries, end many
others grow abundantly in Alaska, and
some have been exported to San Fran
cisco. =. ;
The interior of Alaska is large
plain, covered with wild grasses four or
five feet high. The country is we'll
adapted for grazing, if the herds can be
we'll protected from the severe winters.
Near the coast several small herds of
cattle have grazed for several years and
are found to do very we'll. A few years
ago Messrs, Fa'kner, Bell & Co. ex-
perimented with sheep. but they were
unable to endure the long winter.
