An EDITORS Troubles.

An editor of this city had an experience the
other night he will not care to forget in hurry.
He walked home about IL O'Clock and after enter
ing the house he didn't feel like going to bed and
thought good brisk constitutional about the
town for an hour or so, would do him good So he
took up his kerosene lamp and marched down
stairs. Before starting out however. he thought
he would see all was right in the rear Of the house
and accordingly placed the lamp in the back en-
try and stepped out the back door, He had hard
ly done so before there came gust Of wind which
blew the door to. The lock on the door was q
spring lock and there our friend was, on the out
side of the mansion, without his overcoat and
hat and worse than all, his nightkey to the front
door had been left up stairs in his other trousers
pocket.
Here was dilemma, The chill breezes of au-
tumn played about the editors head and whistled
through his trousers legs. He thought, looking
through the sidelight, that the kerosene lamp
acted as If it was going to explode. He ran to the
front door and rang. No response. He pulled
again and again. Vain effort. The family were
sound sleepers as he had reason to know. He
thumped, he pounded. he nearly wrenched off the
bell pull. Lights began to appear in the neigh
boris windows and figures appeared in airy cos
tunes. Some thought the editor must be drunk;
the rest that he was a dwelling idiot to make
such a rumpus at that time Of night Finally he
bethought him of a ladder in the next yard, and
with fear and trembling, lest he should be mis-
taken for burglar BY the policemen, provided it
was within the hour for that functionary to make
his rounds, he raised the ladder to the second
story and tried the window fastenings. Crushed
again. Every window resisted his efforts. Luck
lily the turmoil had at last reused somebody and
at a. M, two hours from the time he left the
house, the editor. was admitted, and now declares
that In the future either the spring lock on the
back door shall be taken of or he will carry his
night-key fastened to his little finger

INSOMNIA.

The increase OF insanity in America during the
last ten years has been more than forty per cent
The largest and finest public buildings recently
erected have been for the care OF lunatics and
they are all filed to their fullest capacity. These
facts are appalling. They show that something
must be done speedily to prevent this increase or
we shall be, ONE nation OF luiiatics. One of the
greatest causes of insanity is loss of Sleep Ply
sicians say that when persons fail to sleep for four
nights they are on the verge of insanity. And vet
narcotics are dangerous. 1t is only when the body
Is well that perfect sleep can be secured. A COM
mittee of physicians, that recently investigated
this subject found the lack of albumen in the sys-
tenn brought about more nervousness more sleep
lessness, and more madness than any other known
cause. 1t has also been found that peptonized
beef, combined with hops and malt, produces
more albumen, and tones the system better than
any other known agency. The only manner in
which this combination has ever been effected,
however. has been In the form of HOptonic, and
this wonderful preparation is certainto do re in
checking nervousness, insomnia and insanity than
any other known agency. Prof Rose, the cele-
brated chemist, says: "Hoptonic, combination If
peptoniZed beef, hops and malt contains all the
albuminouS substances required by the SYSTEM
and is therefore the IDEAL as it is IN fact perfect

Since the introduction of Hoptonic marked
effect has been found, by critical observers upon
these persons who have used it, and it Is abso-
utely contributing more to check nervousness, de-
bility, insomnia and insanity than any other
known agency. As such its value is inestimable.

The Malls.

The fall and winter mail arrangement published
this morning is made up to correspond with the
changes In the time tables Of the different rail-
roads centerng here, and is intended to extend
the greatest possible mail facilities to merchants
and business men as well as the public generally.
The great bulk Of the day mails arriving and de-
parting between the hours of IL and O'Clock
makes it necessary to economist every minute Of
that time at the post office, and 1t Is therefore de-
sirabe that all should deposit their mail as early
as possible. The supplementary closing Is estab-
Iished as an experiment for the benefit of those
who find it impossible to deposit letters in season
for the regular MALL and should not be made use
of under any other circumstances, as its purpose
will thereby be defeated. The time of closing the
cashiers office and general delivery is changed to
80 D. M Zone half hour earlier) for the winter.

with care, and the programme contained pleas
ing variety. The speaker was easily heard.
His rendering of some of the best of humorous
poetry was extremely good and received with
marked satisfaction. The scene from Shakes
peare, "Our Folks" and Will Carleton's ballad,
'Over the hills to the poor house." were given
with taste. The representations. which composed
the second part Of the programme, afforded Mi.
Rogers an opportunity to display his skill inrep-
resentlng characters and his command of express
sion. Fitznoodle, even if the part Is trife old,
was good; Sthe portrayal of the shallOw-pated
dandy being funny and provoking much rnerri-
ment. The account of the spinster'S visit to the
Centennial was one of the best features OF the en-
tertainment, and the concluding representation of
the school boys defamation was capital Mr..
Rogers pleased his audience and sustained the
good reputation he acquired in his former appear
ance here.

sessed an additional interest from the fact that
the part of the hero was to be essayed by the son
of him who made that part most familiar one to

head is remarkably strong, the peculiar Malay and
African mixture of characteristics being repro
duced with great fidelity. The tattooing is most
skilfully DONE The eyes are wonderfully well
done and must have required great knowledge Of
the capabilities of the copal for sculptors pur.

heads were carved by the Maori tribe, but 1t has
leaked out that they are the work of an English
man whose friends sent him to New Zealand.
