CHICAGO, June 27.-Business to-day was
regular and steady, with strong leaning
toward liquidation. Nearly everybody was
as busy as they well could be with their
handkerchiefs and bare heads. Starch was
at a great discount. The principal activity
consisted in meeting necessary obligations,
trying to keep cool or making preparations
to go to the races. Counter trade at the
banks was fair, as is usual on Saturday.
Speculation was dull and nominal. Money
rates steady at previously quoted figures,
with only limited demand. Three per

Very Remarkable Recovery.

Mr.. George V. Willing of Manchester,
Mich, writes: ''My wife has been almost
helpless for five years, so helpless that she
could not turn over in bed alone. She used
two bottles of Electric Bitters, and is so
much improved that she is able now to do
her own work" Electric Bitters will do all
that is claimed for them. Hundreds of teS-
timonials attest their great curative powers.

Very Poor Economy.

Some people make business of cheating
themselves, either by eating very mean and
cheap food, OF else by eating too small a
quantity of good food. Either way is as
bad policy as it would be to buy coffin in
stead of suit of good clothes, just because
the coffin would cost less. Poor diet means
impoverished blood; and that means misery
Browns Iron Bitters enriches the blood
gives it the iron it needs, and tones up the
whole system. Cures dyspepsia, indiges-
tion, weakness, malaria. etc.

DrV Goods.

NEW YORK, June 27.-The new demand
has been of homeopathic order,
and for such moderate assortments as were
called for by the slight current request in
motion. The very low and largely unprofit-
able prices at which cotton goods have been
sold are stopping many mills, and in addition,
in this respect, are increasing the number
that are slowing up on production or stopping
entirely.

Maud Kreger INDICATED in the Police Court,
But Afterwards Makes Bad Break.
The bailiff was singing stanza from that
new and beautiful melody, 'Papa's pants
will soon fit Willie,' when the gang was
waltzed in yesterday, and it was very evident
that his poetic mind was wrestling with the
soft and tender influences of balmy spring.
"Some men," he said, turning to the bard
of the bull pen, ''are too thick-headed to
live,'' There is a chulnp," pointing to a
youth with bladder face and a gaudy red
necktie," who came in to see the sights, and
he was actually so green that the horses
reached out to nibble him as he walked
along the street, taking him for a patch of
spring pasture. He was an easy mark for
the FOUNDERS, and they plucked him for all he
was worth"
The court called for the docket at this
point, and the youth who had been picked
before he was ripe was taxed S. or five days.
1t was quiet day in the court room, the
only case of interest being that of Maud

with disorderly conduct. 1t was case of tit

assaulting her, and after he was fined ten
bills he swore out warrant for her arrest.
After hearing the testimony the case was
dismissed. The best part of the matter, how
ever, transpired afterwards. Upon being
vindicated the naughty Maudie went down
to Stencils house. and when Mrs. Stencil
came to the door, Maud, the audacious
baggage, went into the garden,
and used some abusive language.
Mrs Stencil said. ''Fie, for shame!" and
rushed up to the police court and swore out
another warrant for the arrest of Maud. The
sequel will transpire to-day.
John Canary has sweet name, but he is
not very sweet singer. He was up yester-
day on the charge of stealing a watch from
his roommate, but the case didn't pan out,
and he was discharged. C.. Bolt and A.
Boyer were charged with obstructing street
with building material and the case was
continued until to-day.

Seven Hours for Dav Laborers and Eight
for Hen Of ActtUe Brains.
From the Gentleman's Magazine.
The latest authority on this vexed ques-
ton, DR.. Mains, says that the proper
amount of sleep to be taken by 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. give (hours) for a
man, seven for woman and nine for pig"
says one proverb; and second, quoted by
Mr.. Hazlitt in his English Proverbs, declares
that nature requires five; custom allows
seven; laziness takes nine, and wckedness
eleven. These conclusions were, however,
drawn from observation of country life.
Physical fatigue is more easily overcome
than intellectual. Which of US when travel
ing in the country or abroad, or in any way
separated from the ordinary process of
th ought and anxiety, has not found that he
could, without difficulty do with couple of
hours less sleep than he was in the habit of
takingl Men, however, who follow an in
tellectual pursuit are exceptionally fortunate
if the processes of restoration occupy less
than seven hours. More frequently they
extend to eight or nine hours. Kant, I see
it stated, took never less than seven hours.
Goethe owned to requiring nine. Soldiers
and sailors, on the other hand, like laborers,
do with much less quantity. l am afraid to
say how few the Duke of Wellington regarded
as essential. A school-master under whom
at one time I studied, hard-working man
at the acquisition of languages, proclaimed
loudly that ne never took more than five
hours sleep. The hour at which he rose in
the morning gave some color to this asser-
ton. Only in after life did / discover that a
two hours postprandial siesta was not in
cuded in that allowance.
