How Long We Should Sleep.

The latest authority on this vex-
cd question, DR.. Mllins, say that
the proper amount of sleep to lie
taken by man is eight hours. So
far as regards city life the estimate
is probably correct. Poverbial
wisdom does not apply to modern
conditions of social existence. 'flve
(hours) for a man, seven for a
woman, and nine for a pig says
one proycrb and a second, quoted
by Mr.. IIazlitt in his English
Proverbs, declares that nature re-
quires five custom allows seven;
lazlness takes nine wickcdness
takes eleven. These conclusions
we're, however, drawn from obser'
vations of country life. Physical
fatigue is more easily overcome
than intellectual. Which of us
when travelling in the country
abroad, or in any way separated
from the ordinary process OF thought
and anxiety, has not found thai he
could, without difficulty, do with a
couple of hours less sleep then he
was in the habit of taking! Men,
however, who follow an intellectual
pursuit are exceptionally fortunate
if the processes of restoration oc'
cupy less than seven hours. More
frequently they extend to eight OF
nine hours. Kant, see it is stated
took never less than seven hours
Goethe owned to requiring nine.
Soldiers and sailors, on the other
hand, like laboTers, do with much
less quantity. | am afraid to say
how few the Duke OF Wellington
regarded as essential. A school
master under whom at ono time !
studied, a hard-working man at
the acquisition of languages, pro-
claimed loudly that he never took
more than five hours sleep. The
hour at which he rose in the morn
ing gave some color to this asser-
ton. Only in after life did | dis.
cover that two hours postprandial
siesta was not included in that al
lowance.

A little crib beside the bed,
A little face above the spread;
A little frock behind the door,
A little shoe upon the floor.
A little lad with dark brown hair,
A little blue-eyed face and fair
A little lane that leads 10 school,
A little pencil, slate and rule.
A little blithsome, winsOme maid,
A little hand within his hand
A little cottage, acres four
A little old-time fashioned store.
A little family gathering round,
A little turf-beaped, tear r-dewed mound
A little added TO his soil,
A little rest from the hardest toll.
A little silver in his hair,
A little stool and easy chair;
A little night Of earth-lit gloom,
A little eortege to the tomb.
Only three dollars a week
And the roller rink every night
Washers bill cut way down
And a square meal Knocked out Of sight
A penny bun at noon,
A beer, or a free lunch stew;
A roll in the rink at night
And lemonade soda for two.
Oh, who wouldn't be a dude
And skate with dizzy daught
Though he come out every week
About three dollars short.

the PACIFIC MAILS.

A deputation from the Auckland
Chamber of Commerce has had q
conference with tSir Julius Vogel,
Postmaster General of New Zealand,
relative to the Pacific Mails. The
delegates suggested that quicker
time could be made if Honolulu was
left out, and mentioned the arrange
ment by which the steamers were
forbidden to carry freight and
passengers between Honolulu and
San Francisco. Sir Julius doubted
il such statement was correct, and
said he was corresponding with the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company in
an anxious endeavor to have the
service continued. If that company
abandoned the service, he thought
other tenders might be found.
We scarcely believe that the route
will be long left vacant even if the
Pacific Mail Company moves out.
The Hawaiian Government should
take nm active interest in this matter.
One thing should especially be
sought, and that is that the steam
ers of the two lines, if two there
will be, should run in conjunction
with each other, so as to give the
best possible accommodation by all
OF them to the public.

HAWAIIAN PACIFIC INTERESTS.

1t appears that there is to be q
conference in London, of Powers in
terested in the Pacific. The coloniz-
ing mania that has seized Continental
Powers has led to some stirring up
Of vested interests in Polynesian
territory. Some auicable partition
Of ownersb'ps, and protectorates,
and Jurisdictions, is what is probably
sought to be brought abont by the
promoters Of the proposed confer
ence. The .4dUertiscr ADVOCATES the
right and duty of the Hawaiian King
dom TO be represented at the con-
ference. 1t says: = .'g' ~
1t should not be lost sight of in
this connection that the Hawaiian
Kingdom, however small, is the ma
triral head and leader Of all the Pa
cific states and tribes by reason Of
its perfect independence, advanced
civilization, and recognition by the
great Powers of the ec'th. TO hold
such conference as that suggested
without this country being repre-
sented at it would be mapifcstly i'm
proper, and could only happen by
reason OF our Government neglect
ing its duty in the premises. This
is not at all likely to happen, how
ever. Orr idea is that renewed oyer
lures should be made to the Powers,
and especially that the friendly bffi-
ces Of the United States and England
should be invoked for the purpose
OF entl usting the administration of
"unappropriatsd Polynesia to the
Hawaiian Government. This would
be acceptable to the Malaysian race,
however widely distributed, and be
a guarantee of good government.
lsq It, is surprising that no amount of
snubbing, and no degree OF expen-
sive experience, will suffice to keep
down this ridiculous notion-this
d maniscal dream-of Hawaiian supre-
macy in the Pacific. Let Hawaii be
represented in the conference, but
by the pledged protectors Of her in
Observation-Disclosures, England, and
