How Long TO SIeep.

The fact is that as life becomes concentrat-
ed ard its pursuits more eager, short sleep
and early rising become impossible. We take
more sleep than our ancestors, and we take
more because we want more. Six hours
sleep will do very well for mason or brick
layer, or any other man who has no exhaus-
ton but that produced by manual labor; the
sooner he takes ii after his labor is over the
the better. But for the man whose labor is
mental, the stress of work is on his brain and
nervous system, and tor him who is tired in
the evening with day ofmental application,
neither early to bed nor early to rise" is
wholesome. He keeps letting down to the
level of repose. The longer the interval be-.
tween the active use ofthe brain and his re-
tirement to bed, the better his chance for sleep
and retreshment. To him an hour after mid
night is probably as good as two hours be-.
fore it, and even his sleep will not so quickly
and completely restore him as it will his
neighbor who is physically tired. He must
not only go to led later, but ielonger. His
best sleep probably is in the early morning
hours when ALL the nervous excitement has
passed away, and he is in absolute rest.

AnecdOte Of Judge Black.

1t is related of the late Judge Black that
in 1857, just after he was appointed Attorney
General of the United States, he was staying
at the Astor House in New York Scores of
leading politicians called upon him. One
day. small, gray-haired man arrived at the
hotel, and registered himself as Judge ]. Viii.
liams, Iowa. On seeing the name Of Judge
Black on the book, he took card and
wrote:
"The Supreme Judge of Iowa presents his
compliments to the Attorney General of the
United States"
He sent this up to Judge Blacks room, to-,
gether with half sheet Of paper on which
he had written:
10 Jerry, dear Jerry, I've found you at last,
And memory, burdened with scenes of the past,
Returns to old Somersets mountains of snow,
When you were but Jerry and was but Joe!'
In less than three minutes the great digni-
fed Judge Black was coming down the
stairs two steps at a time, with the little
bell-boy in close pursuit. Two old school
mates and law students were together after a
separation of some thirty years. Two old
men embraced each other and neither was
able to utter word. 1t was an affecting
scene.

What a Deed Conveys.

Judge Bennett, of Massachusetts, before
the State Board of Agriculture, said, in sub
stance, that q deed conveys the fence stand
ing on farm, the fencing stuff, posts rails,
etc, which had once been used in the fence, but
had been taken down and piled up for future
use in the same place. But new fence ma
terals Just bought and never attached to the
soil, will not pass. Standing trees will pass
as part of the land SO do trees blown or cut
down and still left in the woods where they
fell, but not if cut and corded up for sale the
wood has then became personal property
Manure in the barn yard or in a compost
heap ready for immediate use, the buyer or
dinarily takes as belonging to the farm !;
though it might not be so if the owner had
previously sold it to some other party and
had collected it in a heap by itself. Growing
crops pass by the deed ola farm, unless they
are expressly reserved, and when it is in
tended to reserve those it should be so stated
in the deed itself; mere oral agreement
would not be valid in law. Another mode
is to stipulate that possession is not to be
given until some future day, in which case
the crops of manure may be removed before
that time. AS to the buildings on farm,
though generally mentioned in the deed, it is
not absolutely necessary they should be. A
deed of land ordinarily carrlesi all the build
ings on it belonging to the grantor, whether
mentioned or not and this rule includes the
lumber and timber of any old building which
has been taken or blown down and packed
away for future use on the farm But If there
be any buildings on the farm built by some
third person, with the farmers leave, the deed
would not conveys these, since the buildings
are personal property and do not belong to
the landowner 10 convey. The real owners
thereof might move them off, although the
purchaser of the farm supposed he was buy
ing and paying for all the buildings on it,
His only remedy in such case would be
against the party selling the premises.
AS part of the buildings conveyed, the
window blinds are included, even ifthey be
at the time taken off and carried to the
painters shop to be painted. 1t would be
otherwise if they had been newly purchased

Should Have Been Gagged.

AT a Washington reception young gentle
man said to rather imposing looking man :
Good evening, glad to see you've have not
met since we parted in Mexico" The person
thus spoken TO coldly replied, II fear you
have the advantage of me-" "Why, surely |"
exclaimed the mortified young fellow, "You
don't seem to remember me-" "To tell the
truth, have never been to Mexico" Are

Judge Poland, of Vermont" A few nights
after this rebuff the young man happened to
be at another party, and, seeing the Judge,
made up to him. After little desutory
conversation he ventured to say: "That
was an awful blunder of mine the other
evening to take you for old Thornton"
"And whom do you take me for now, may
ask ?" why, you told me you were Judge
Poland, of Vermont" The reply was crush
ing. ION the contrary, sir, my name Is

Expected to Sec Her in ROYAL Robes

One day, when the Queen was standing on
the public road near Balmoral, sketching the
castle from particular point, flock of
sheep approached. The Queen, being intent
on her work, took little notice of the flock,
and merely moved little nearer the side of
the road. A boy in charge of the sheep
shouted, at the top of stentorian voice,
Stan DOT O. the road 'owman, an let the
sheep gaze by!" The Queen, not moving quite
so fast as the shepherd wished, he again
shouted, Fat are ye, standin' there for !?

One of the Queens attendants, who had been

said the official. The boy looked astonished,
and, after recovering his senses, said, with
great simplicity, 1.-The Queen Cd, fat way

InsOlubIe Glazing for Fruit Cans.

Science has again come to the rescue, and
this time has given us fruit can which will
silence the reports which, at stated intervals,
are calculated to work the detriment of the
canned goods trade and the development Of
"nerves" in ladies. A firm at Dunstable

A Dog With a Political Scent.

A good old Kentucky Democrat, who had
been waiting twenty-five years for postof
fee, owns fine dog, which is his constant
companion. The other day the dog had been
having run in the sunshine and was resting
on the porch, with his tongue hanging out.
That's boss dog" said a travelling man,
who had been selling the old man bill of
goods.
"You're right, he is" said the old man,
proudly.
"What makes him stick his tongue out
that way"
"Politics"
"Politics How?"
"Why, sir, that dog knows Cleveland is
President, and he knows I want a postotflce,
and he's got his tongue out, ready to begin
licking the stamps"

The Reformed Fox.

A Fox made call on a Peasant and asked
his advice about reforming from his evil
ways, but in place of any words the Peasant
gave him terrible whack with long-hand-
led shovel.
allow can you explain such outrageous
conduct ?" demanded the Fox, as he limped
out of reaching distance.
Experience has taught me-" replied the
Peasant, that reformation is most always

Castor OIL.

One of the chief uses TO which castor oil is
now put is that of dressing and softening
leather for bools 1t was formerly used for
dosing children whose stomachs were disor-
dered. And an awful dose it was. Now we
give suffering children Browns Iron Bitters,
which tones the stomach, regulates digestion,
and imparts strength to the whole body.
Browns Iron Bitters is incomparably better
than castor oil, and more pleasant to take.

is hourly expected hero, determining the
question whether the New York Central
shall or shall not issue the bonds to Drexel,
Morgan q Co. with which TO take up the
West Shore fret-mortgage bonds. As the
road has been sold by the court withoutany
reference TO any contract made between
Dfexel, Morgan 4 Co and the first-nortgage
bondholders, IL would appear on the surface
that the firm mentioned has purchased the
road subject to the lien Of the first mortgage
bondholders, providing the exchange Is not
made. IL is not question, however, largely
as to the terms OF the contracts that have
been made, but In any case no one who has
given the matter consideration seems ready
to admit the possibility of any other than
settlement favorable to the perpetuation of
the pooling arrangements Of the trunk line
