Sleep.

an the organs Of life rest II some
way OF other. The heart has an inter-
val of rest between each combined act
Of contraction and expansion, and the
beginning OF a fresh act. Between
each expiration of the lungs and the
succeeding inspiration there is a period
of repose. Psychologists have calcula-
ted that the heart repOses during about
one-fOuTth Of life. and that the lungs
rest One-thIrd Of the time.
Some Of the other organs suspend
their activity, IN part, during sleep,
which is as necessary to existence as
food. If a man does not sleep, he ex-
hausts his nervous power, becomes a
maniac and dies.
Shakespeare had noted these physiO-
logical facts, or he would not have called
sleep natures gentle nurse,' 'Ssore
labOr's bath" and ''chief nourisher in
Iife's feast. " Cervantes saw them as
clearly. for he makes Sancho Panza
say:
''Now blessings light on him who first
invented sleepl 1t covers a man all
over, like cloak; it is meat for the
hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for
the cold and cold for the het''
Old Psychologists supposed that sleep
was caused by the pressure of the blood
on the brain. But moderate physiology
regarding the blood as the origin of all
force, and of all the functions in the
bOdy, adirms that sleep is caused by a
withdrawal Of blood from the brain.
As rule, the larger the brain the
more sleep it requires. Webster went
to led at 9 o clock snd rose at 3. Gen
eral Grant used TO say during his
campaigns, Il can do nothing without
nine hours sleep" There have been
lawy yerS and generals who did with
much lesS-but they did little during
then wakefUl hours.
Another trait marks men of large
brain-that is, their power of sleeping
at viii. A great general or a great
statesman usually can lie down and
catch forty Winks" a5 any time and
place. BonapsTte used to throw him
sell on the ground and in two minutes
was fast asleep. Mr.. Pitt was a sound
sleeper and slept night after night in the
HOu5e of Commons, while his collea-
CUES watched the debates, and ronsed
him when it was necessary that he
should speak.

The Great NapoIeon's Letters

Captain Bingham, who seems to have
devoted himself to Napoleonic liteTa-
ture, has just published in three vol
umes an English version of the more
interesting portions of the correspond
ence of Napoleon |. Fifteen volumes
of these letters were published in
France during the first years of the
second empire; but "when," the Lon
don Times says, sit became question
of printing letters which showed that
Napoleon had ordered a wholesale for
gerry of English bank notes that he
might injuTe the credit of the Bank of
England, the commission recoiled. The
Emperor was consulted and new com
mission was issued under the Presideu-
cy of Prince Napoleon, who announced
that for the future nothing would be
published except what Napoleon him,
self would have agreed that the world
shou see." A mass of letters remain
unpublished, and many have been de-
stroyed.

What II q llahdif

Mahdi, or Mahadi, as D'Herbelot
I spells 1t, Is an ancient title in the Mos
lem world which at irst signified simply
director of the faithful. But in ths
course of Moslem history, and especial.
Moslem history IN Africa, it came o.
have another signifcation related to d
accepted prophecy of Mohammed. IL
necessarily refers to the African part OF
Arabic history. By this secondary sig
nifcance of the word the Mahadi is a
certain ancient leader come again. His
-appearaDcy is the second advent of d
prophet who lived in the old days and
who in all the meantime has been will
the immortals. Mohammed, the twelfth
Imam. and the twelfth in descent from
Ali, is the real original. He is the
Mahadi who comes again every now ami
then. He was hidden from the world
at an early age and communed ONLY
with his disciples through his lifetime,
and finally did not die, but went up,
with the fixed intention of returning to
revive the glories of Moslem. As in
the Christian theory and even in the
history of several monarchies this
VI VIM 10 W
afforded favorite pretext for no end
of impostors, so it did in Islam. The
most famous of these in past ages was
Abulcassem Mohammed Ben Abdallah,
the founder of the favOrite dynasty IN
Africa. Mobammed had prophesied
that IN 800 years the sun would rise in
the west, and as Abulcassem's glory
was in 296 of the Hegira, it was held
that the prophesy referred to hun, and
since then the idea of the Mahdi has
commonly had relation to revival of
the glories OF Islam in that western
world of MoslemIsm, the provinces of
Africa held by the Arabs. Perhaps we
should not plume ourselves too much
over a race of men who are yet con-
UrOlled by a vivid conviction that their
leader was born thousand years ago.
We believe in leaders whose claims to
allegiance are equally ridiculous.

Poisonous CheeSe.-At the October
meeting OF the American Public Health
Association at St. Louis, Professor V.
g Vaughan, NJ D., OF the State Board
of Health OF Michigan, read paper on
the "Study OF Poisonous Cheese" 1t
Is well known that cases of severe illness
Of some cheese. especially in North
Germany and America, but III France
no such cases are found. In Michigan,
within the last SIX months, over three
hundred cases OF cheese poisoning have
been reported. The symptoms produced
are dryness Of the throat, nausea,
vomiting, diarrE el. headache, and don
bic vlsion-the same symptoms as
gastro-intestinal poisoning. Gases OF
cheese poisoning are rarely fatal, SIX
deaths in three hundred and forty two
cases occurring in Holland in 1874, r
little Cvef two per cent. Cheese that
may be harmful to man may be eaten
by lower animals without danger, and
cat once ate cheese that had poisoned
thirty people, but the feline experienced
no toxic effect. Coloring cheese with
annaito may be looked upon, perhaps.
as q iustIfable adulteration. Samples
of cheese that had poisoned many peo-
pie indicated the presence of acids,
htmus paper turning blue. The indlca-
lions then were that the poison was
caused by chemical acids and Lot by
bacteria, Microscopic examination,
however revealed the presence of a
spherical bacillus subtilis which did
not affect cat when injected beneath
the skin Only poisonous cheese viO-
lently reddens litmus paper, and this is
test easy of application. Every gro
Ger should try the experiment when he
cnts a new cheese. The following are
the conclusions: l. The toxic material
in poisonous cheese Is q compound
soluble in alcohol. 2. The production
of this poisonous material is due to the
rapid growth of the bacillus subtilis.
3. The difference between poisonous
and non-pOisonous new cheese Is one of
degree rather than of nature.
