Hours for Sleep.

New York Commercial Advertiser
The latest authority on the vexed oues-
ton of sleep, DR.. Malins, says that the
proper amount of sleep to be taken by a
man is eight hours. SO far as regards
city life the estimate is probably correct.
Proverbial wisdom does not apply to
modern conditions of social existence.
Five (hours) for a man, seven
for woman and nine for pig, says one
proverb; and second quoted by Mr..
Hazlitt in his English Proverbs, " de-
clares that Mature requires five; custom
gives (allows) seven, laziness takes nine,
and wickednesS eleven.
These conclusions were, however, drawn
from observations of country life. Physi-
cal fatigue is more easily overcome than
intellectual. Men, however, who follow
any intellectual pursuit are exceptionally
fortunate if the processes of restoration
occupy less than seven hours. More fire.

A Man to Whom All Eggs Are Bad.


There is gentleman living in Hamilton

egg has made him sick for DAYS. To

The Seryian King.

pline. cit is difficult" the correspondent
says, Ito say where most of the blame is to
be laid, whether upon the inefficiency of the
officers, or upon the natural insubordina-
ton and unteachabieness of the men. King
Milan's life is being constantly threatened
and several attempts to assassinate him
have actually been made. The King
brayely disregards them and strug-
giles manfully to bring order ont Of
chaos and to get his forces into better
shape in view OF the possible reopening of
hostilities after the armistice. It is well
known in Belgrade, says the correspondent,
that Milan was deceived in regard to the
effective strength of his army in the same
way that Napoleon Ill was before the
opening of the FrancO-Prussian war.
A ring of corrupt officials in the capital
are responsible for the weakness dis
played in the field and for the humiliating
position in which Seryia now finds herself.
Under the vigorous hand of General HOr-
vatovitch, who was recalled from a foreign
mission as the one man capable of redeem
ing the Kings shattered forces, there has
been marked improvement in the condi-
ton and management of the troops, but at
best Servia will be heavily handicapped in
any military movement that may be under
taken in the near future.
