DAYTIME Maps.

There is no more delightful nor more
beneficial luxury that any business man
or woman can indulge in than short,
habitual day nap. Sleep is the great re-
storer of vigor and strength. the great
soother of worn nerves. Physicians of
to day tell US that sleeplessness is one OF
the greatest difficulties with which hard
worked American people have to contend,
and is one of the most insiduous enemies
To health. This is true alike of the care
full m Jther and the overtasked business
man. To both of these habituai snort
daily nap would prove bath in the very
fountain of refreshment and invigoratlon
As general rule drowsiness in the day
time comes on Immediately after eating
This would indicate the proper time ter a
nap. We have seen several women who
retained their vigor and health in re-
markable manner beyond the season Of
youth. ascribe it largely to the daily habit
Of taking a short period of perfect rest
and repose in sleep, at some time during
the day. The nap should be short; long
sleep is facilitating and throws the system
out of the regular order. The habit OF
taking short, sound sleep may be easily
formed. and is one of the best possible
of youth, health. vigor and
beauty.

The HERALD has no patience with
hose who are constantly referring to
some indefinable feeling between the
citizens of Dallas and the surrounding
country. If such feeling is not purely
imaginary it is certainly very limited,
nor is it natural. The promoters of such
state Of affairs are engaged in no
creditablo work. Dallas is in the very
centre ofthe county, has more than one
half the taxable property within her
corporate limits aud bears the full pro-
portion of her burden. Her increase is
tho gain of the farmer, and the COMPETE
tion between her merchants re-
suits to the benefit of purchasers.
Every inducement operates to make
her friendly with the country
people, who have almost at their
doors the very best market in Texas,
