Sleep.

Men, women and children reouire
just so much sleep. and if they do not
have 1t, suffer in consequence. do
not think person should be walked in
the morning, and for this reason, when
a man falls asleep he is in the sIoon for
repairs, as the railroad men saw. His
frame and all its intricate machinery ic
being overhauled and r1ade ready for
the next days work. The wear al the
previous day is being repaired. Nat
ure Is dong that herself She knows
what the tired frame needs lust as she
knows now to make the neart throb.
and send the blood coursing through
the veins. Then she takes that tired
frame, lays it down on bed, surrounds
it with the refreshing air of night,
covers it with the soft darkness and
lets the man rest. Tired natureis
sweet restorer, balmy sleep" visits
him, and as the hours wear bv his
energies are renewed, his STRENGTH
comes back, and finally when mornino
breaks and the sunlight steals tbroucR
the lattice, he opens his ewes and is
himself again. Or if he is early to bed
he awakes with the cocks Growing.
Now who shall go to that mans side
an hour before he opens his eyes, and
say to nature, stand aside and let him
get up; be has had enough of restP
Well, nature viii say, '.You can take
him If you will, but I will charge him
"ith an hours loss of sleep, and I'll
collect it out of his bones and nerves
and his hair and eyesight. You can't
cheat me. I'll find property to levy
on!'-HaLra Journal of Health.

An Unwilling Proxy,

The St. Petersburg Herald relates that
recently in south Russian village a
peasant was accused of theft. The
culprit kept out of the way, but sent an
advocate to plead his cause before the
local judicial magnate. The lawyer
employed all his eloquence to convince
the judge that his client was innocent,
but his clever appeal had no effect upon
the magistrate, who knew the accused,
and had probably condemned him be-
fore he heard the details of the case.
He gave the sentence-fve and twenty
blows with rod. The village Solomon
was informed that the criminal could
not be found. Never mind" he OBJ
served, '.justice must have its course.
As the criminal is not in our hands, we
decree that his advocate shall receive
the fogging. The man who has the
face to defend such rascal deserves
to be punished. The luckless lawyer
IN vain protested against the illegality,
absurdity, and utter injustice of the
monstrous sentence. The loss of his
time and his fees, he contended, would
be quite sufficient punishment. But the
stiff old Russian Solomon was inexor-
able, and the lawyer was actually
seized, bound and received the twenty
five strokes as the representative of the
absent criminal

Stories of Lord Overstone.

All the world has been talking for the
last week of Lord Oyerstone, who has
Just died, as though he was only gi-
ant money man--one of the half-dozen
twenty-millioners at the head of this
age of money-getting. He was really
much more than this, and his colossal
wealth was after all, more of an accl-
dent than the result of his own indus
try or attention to business. He at any
rate did not begin with the single half
crown, as most millionaires wish US to
believe they did, for his father started
him with the trifie of $4,000, 600 just
forty years ago. So that, if he had
gone to sleep with this comfortable in
heritance sown and planted as it stood.
he would still have reaped the golden
harvest of fabulous wealth he has now
left behind But he was singularly
wide awake monetarian and born
banker although mere money-getting
was never his bent, and he had not q
spark of the vulgar greed for gain.
As the greatest authority upon cur
rency questions and finance, Lord
Overstone was always ready to
advise the government, and nat
urally expected to have the cred
it of his views, but he declined
office. He was, however, once taken
by surprise when Mr.. Spring Rice, then
chancellor of the exchequer (who be-
came Lord Monteagle), called upon
him to ask his opinion on certain i'm
portant points, and, after hearing a
lucid full statement on the subject,
went down to the house and delivered
himself of what was supposed to be an
original speech the gist of which was,
however, word for word, what he had
learnt from Lord Overstone. If he for
gave this he never forgot it.
Lord Overstone was charming host.
and his conversation ranged over a
wide field of interest, rich with his ex-
tensive reading and enlivened with apt
quotations from Wordsworth or Pope.
As an old man he was full of endless
anecdotes of people and things he had
seen, and he told a good story with the
most delightful humor. The long-re-
tanned freshness of his mind and quick
memory gave him the brightest charm
of a green old age, and though of late
years, after the loss of the accomplished
and amiable Lady Overstone, a certain
sadness and gravity somewhat over
shadowed his cheerful manner, yet this
wore of as he warmed with the discuss
ion of passing events, which he follow
ed with never-failing interest almost to
the last.-London Truth.

The Advantage of Being a French
Academician.

The Academy has no action now on
politics. Its action on literature, as /
have shown is becoming remote. Life
is too busy under the Republic for
Academicians to attend faithfully to the
task, enjoined in the statutes, of COM
piling a dictionary. Littre, it may be
said, left the illustrious company moth
ing to do. There are social advantages
in being one of the Forty. An Acade-
mician's wife finds it easy to obtain
good matches for her daughters, al
though their portions are small. The
bookseller, also is more ready to enter
into terms with novelist, dramatist,
or historian who is of the Academy,
provided he is not fossilized or that his
works have currency. But if an author
is in the way to become fossil, the
right to don the palm-em broidered coat
hastens the change. The literary man
does not keep so fresh in as out of the
Academy. Legove and Mignet have
been exceptions. Renan has visibly
gone down since he obtained chair

An Anecdote of General Sherman.

Many good anecdotes of Sherman
were current during the war. Some of
them, he once said, when they were
brought to his notice, had been told of
every general since Hannibal. Here is
one of undoubted authenticity which
shows his sagacity in dealing with the
population of conquered towns. After
he occupied Memphis, the people kept
the churches, schools and places of
business closed, so that, save for the
movements of the soldiers, the place
looked like city of the dead. He is
sued an order directing that the stores
and shops should be opened during
business hours, the schools resume
their courses, and the churches hold
their customary services. Among the
people who called at his headquarters
to protest against this order, or to ask
for explanations, was the clergyman of
an Episcopal church, who said that the
ritual of his denomination contained a
prayer for the President which, under
the circumstances, embarrassed him.
Whom do you regard as your Presi-
dentP" asked Sherman bluntly. "We
look upon Mr.. Davis as our President,
replied the minister. ''Very well; pray
for jeff Davis if you wish. He needs
your prayers badly. 1t will take a
great deal of praying to save him"
Then will not be compelled to pray
for Mr.. LincolnP" "Oh, no, He's a
good man, and don't need your pray
ers. You may pray for him if you like
but there is no compulsion, answered
Sherman, instantly divining that the
clergyman wanted to pose as martyr
before his parishioners, and had hoped
that he would be ordered to use the
prayer for the President of the United
States. The next Sunday, the pre-
scribed prayer was so modified by the
preacher as to leave out all mention of
the President. and to refer only to ''all
in authority. e. 2. SmaIley in the

A Japanese Dinner.

A correspondent having dined sump-
tuously with distinguished Japanese
in Japan, thus describes the banquet:
.It seems that there had been special
effort to make the meal as American as
possible in my honor, and so an emu
meration of the dishes is not a fair ex-
ample of japanese diet, which is really
so simple that it does not afford suffi-
cient nourishment for a tourist from
Europe or America. Here is some
what comprehensive list of the dishes,
made out with the assistance of my
friends memory, and an occasional
draught upon my fertile imagination:
A soup, unfathomable, Incompetent
sible, intangible; all kinds of fish, from
fried sea serpent to a boiled whale; four
varieties of sea weed, that seemed to
have antipathy for the human stomach,
and writhed in their journey to the
mouth; green ginger, prawns, fish cake,
alleged pounded chicken, chestnuts,
sweet potatoes, rice, mushrooms, rice,
lily seeds, plums, rice, some salads that
defy classification or analysis, and rice;
also some rice. But pray do not smack
your lips or labor under the delusion
that my appetite was appeased. 1t
was not. The saki was served hot,
cups of the liquid being placed about a
foot in front of us on the floor. There
did not appear to be that chasm be-
tween our host and his attendants
which is so common in the United
States. The extravagant obeisances
and smiling protestations produced the
impression of familiarity. AS for the
etiquette governing the whole meal, it
was too complicated to justify any at
tempt at description. The hardest part
of the entertainment was the constant
struggle in search of comfortable
place for bestowing my arms and legs,
since the meal was very protracted
one. This difficulty was helped, how
ever, by the strolls in the garden and
smoking at intervals which occurred
between the courses"

1t seems Louis Kossuth, the exiIed
Hungarian patriot, is not as near his
grave as was recently reported. A
correspondent who visited him at Turin
in November, says that the Hunga-
rian patriot and orator was writing and
smoking cigarette. He replied to in
quiries as to his health by saying. ..I
am quite well, as you see, in spit, of
the weight of 80 years. He has white
hair and beard, but forid aspect and

Great St PauI Institution.

With each succeeding season, Mr.. John
Mathei., the famed pioneer carpet king OF
the Northwest, brings before the public his
vast institution in greater proportions. This
spring he has out-done any former effort and
during journey through his wonderful
stores day or two since, the reportorial
mind was well near bewildered at what it
came in contact with to wonder at
Mountains of carpet rolls in patterns ex-
clusively woven for the trade which Mr..
Masheis so creditably handles, and produced
at the most famous factories in the world
were encountered at every turn in the
spacious rooms on the second floor. Busy
workmen deity combining veritable pictures
for the ofnamentation of some princely
mansions floors. Rugs from every promi-
nent far east and foreign market.
Wall papers and hangngs that for exquis-
ite designs outrival the famous decorations
of Spain, and all so magnticently exhibited in
the splendid storerooms. Mr.. Matheis has
certainly never shown such superb collec
ton of goods as he has secured for his trade
this spring, and we do not marvel at the
popularity of house when we visit it and see
what he has got to show. Our citizens will be
well repaid for examining the many move
and also the substantial materials which he
now is able to place before them, and it vii
be well to call soon, too, before the stock il
broken.
