Rules Upon the Proper Observance of
which Ones Health Depends.
Sleep. like any other appetite, can be
cultivated and pampered; and Just as
any mouthful OF food more than we
really want is waste, and something
worse, so every wink of sleep more
than we need is dead loss, and that
without the redeeming quality of over
eating and drinking. viz. pleasure. For
to lie asleep is not pleasure; simply
dead loss. To sleep from IL to 9 in
the morning is too much; from Ii till
6 should be. and is, for one averagely
healthy and normally constituted, quite
enough The point want to fix on

A WESTERN MAN AT DINNER.
How He Succeeded in Getting the Wait
ers TO Wait on Him.

How He succeeded IN Getting the wait
ers TO Wait on Him.
Those who had not tipped the
walters received but tardy attention. 1t
CHANGED that one of this class, big.
broad-shouldered fellow, with huge
whiskers, a regular basso profundo
voice, rough clothing, and head of
hair like & big buffalo's frontlet, swag-
gered in, and, with free and indie
pendent air, took an unoccupicd seat at
the dinner table.
1t CHANGED that there figured upon the
bill Of fare that day roast bear meat,
which was served as a sort of rarity,
and just as the newcomer sat down,
some was ordered by patty of three
gentlemen opposite, who were prompt
ly served.
"Sav, waiter" said the newcomer,
bring me some 'er that b ar meat.
"Yessir," said the white-jacketed at
tendant, who left, but gave no further
heed to the order.
The Western man sat quietly in his
place for five minutes. the chairs on
either side of him having been immedi-
ately turned up, lest some guest equally
get in at that point. After sitting five
minutes he grabbed hold of waiter
who was passing behind him.
Say, have you got any bar meat
for dinner?"
"Yes. sir"
"Well. bring me some. and quick,
too, for I'm hungrier'n hound"
Away went the waiter, but he didn' t
return, and the color began to mount
into the face of the backwoodsman. He
gave a third order, which was treated
with the same sublime contempt.
Patience could no further go: he seized
hold of the heavy dining plates tina
were laid on either side of him and
dashed one after the other down vio-
lently upon the table with a crash that
smashed them into pieces, brought the
head-waiter and two or three others to
him in an instant, and started some of
his immediate neighbors to their feet in
alarm.
Look hyar," said the cause of this
alarm, seizing the head-waiter by the
arm, "kin get waited on in this hyar

Certainly, sir. yes, sir" said the
head-waiter, s4uirming Intellectually in

Westerner that held him in an iron
grip.
"Wall, then, do you see that?" slap

the upper part of his coat, from one in
side pocket of which protruded a re-
volver and from the other the handle OF

BALTIMORE, Mp. May ? Barney Call,
his wife aud five children, have lived In
Canton for the past three years, earning
. livelihood by keeping fancy goods
and grocery store. Recently, Mrs. Call
has shown unmistakable signs Of insanl-
", but II was not until Thursday night
that she was considered as a it subject
for lunatlc asylum. The family retired
about eleven o'clock. At midnight
Mrs. Call arose and her husband, noticing
that she stared vacantly about the room,
asked her what the matter was. For an
swer she made . sudden and savage at
tack upon him. Being very large wom-
an and much stronger than her husband,
she soon had him at her mercy. She
threw him upon the floor aud seized i
left ear with her teeth aud tore
1t In dreadful manner. She
then fastened her teeth In
his breast and badly lacerstcd the flesh.
Mr.. Calls face was scratched out Of all
recognition, aud when the neigh bors, at
tracted by his screams, rushed In, the
blood was streaming from his wounds
The frantic woman was overpOwered,
and when she gazed confus sdly at her
husband, the sight seemed to recall her
lettering reason, and she suffered herself
TO be led into an adjoining room
Early this morning she had another
spell. She imagined that her children
had been stolen away; and armed with .
heavy billet or wood, she attacked three
police officers, who were near the house.
They finally succeeded ia handcuffin :
her. She was removed to Spring Grove
Insane Asylum last evening.
