Sleep, like any other appetite, can be
cultivated and pampered; and just as
any mouthful of food more than we
really want is waste, and something
worse, SO every wink of sleep more
than we need is dead loss, and that
without the redeeming quality of over
eating and drinking, viz, pleasure,
says Rev. H. L. Haweis. For to. be
asleep is not pleasure; simply dead loss.
To sleep from IL to in the morning is
too much; from IL till should be, and
is, for one averagely healthy and nor
mally constituted, quite enough. The
point l want to fix on especially is
those two precious hours before break
fast. How many people only begin
their day after breakfast, say about 10
o'clock! l myself lived for nearly forty
years without realizing that l had
thrown away about 21,900 hours Of
good working life. OF course, the
candle cannot be burned at both ends.
Youmust get your sleep. 1have known
more than one professional man to
succumb to the habit of retiring too
late and rising too early. That was the
beginning of my poor friend the late
Baron Amphlett's collapse. As Q. C..
he never should have gone into parlia-
ment, and when he retired from the
house on judgeship the mischief was
done. He used to be up late with
briefs. or down at the house till 2 or 8,
rise at 6. light his own fire and work
till 9. All such overpressure is. OF
course, bad. Young men may stand it
for few years-young men can stand
almost anything for few years-but
it is vicious principle. Give the body
its dues, or the body will revenge it.
self. Still, to acquire the habit OF
early rising is worth an effort. 1recom-
mend it for health and pleasure as well
as for profit. No one knows how ra-
diant and vigorous nature looks who
has not cared to assist her at early toi-
let, and seen her bathing herself in
crystal dew and decking herself with
opening blossoms between 4 and
o'clock on a midsummer morning. So
much and how much more for the
pleasure-seekerP But the early-rising
worker all the year round is rewarded
by an increase of produce, an economy
of time, and an invigoration of mind
and body. Morning literary work is
usually characterized by freshness,
continuity, grasp, and vigor; night
work by fever, excitement. and less
condensation. This believe to be the
rule, and with exceptions. in speaking
thus generally, it is, of course, impossi'
BILE to deal. Of one thing am certain
that for all headworkers, especially
literary men, the following rules will
be found golden:
To bed before II.
To work before Z.

A GOOD APPOINTMENT.

We take pleasure in adding our COM
mendation to those given by the press at
large, without respect to party, OF the sp-
pointment of the Hon. S. S. Cox, Of New
York, formerly of GAINESVILLE, and Colum-
bus, and at one time our Representative in
Congress, as Minister to Turkey. Mr.. Cox
is gentleman Of great information and
abundant culture and literary experience
and ability, and also an affable and courte-
Gus man, who has been much abroad
and will readily catch or" to the political
points Of his new position.
Mr.. Cox goes to Turkey at critical pc
riod-just as great war seems pending
between Russia and the Empire OF
Great Britain; but he has served over a
score OF years on the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee Of the House, and is probably as
well qualified as any other man to dis
charge, intelligently, the duties attached to
his new station.
Just as Mr.. Cox goes abroad he is to
gain new fame, undoubtedly, as an author,
by the issue of work, which is to be
entitled: Union Disunion Re-
union--Three Decades of Federal Leg
islation, from 1856 to 1885,
which is to be brought out by Messrs. J.
A. & R. A. Reid. OF Providence, R. l., and
which will be both interesting and valu-
able. and as work written of an import.
ant period in the history Of our country
from the standpoint OF a Democrat, will
furnish valuable material for future his
torians. Certainly it will be gracefully
written.
We congratulate Mr.. Cox-our old per.
sonal friend and political enemy-snd the
country also, on his appointment, and as
sure him OF our best wishes.

waiting for trap to take me to the
railway station in the old Etruscan
city of Ferentino. Presently an ill
bred dog of the pointer kind came and
sat down in front of me, looking up in
my face. and wagging his tail to attract
my attention. "What does that dog
want?" asked of a bystander. "Sig-
nore," he answered, "he wants you to
give him soldi to go and buy you a
cigar with" gave the dog the coin.
and he presently returned bringing .
cigar, which he held crosswise in his
mouth until I took it from him. Sent
again and again, he brought me three
or four more cigars from the tobacco
shop. At length the dogs demeanor
changed, and he gave vent to his impa-
tience by two or three low whines.
what does he want now?" l asked.
HE wants you to give him two soldi to
60 to the bakers and buy bread for
himself" Igave him 2-soldi piece,
and in few minutes the dog returned
with a small loaf of bread, which he
laid at my feet, at the same time gaz-
ing wistfully in my face. He won't
take it until you give him leave" said
the bystander. I gave the requisite
permission, and the dear animal seized
the loaf and disappeared with it in his
mouth, and did not again make his ap-
pearance before left the city. He
always does like this" said the stand
ers-by, whenever he sees a stranger in

a paper entitled The Volunteers in Time
OF Need 1t is partly brief explanation
Of the volunteer organization, and partly
q suggestion of necessary improvements.
Its points may be summed up as follows:
The volunteers have no unit OF organlza-
ton higher than the battalion, no known
plan of mobilization, and no accessible
stores Of equipment for campaign. In
this condition they are powerless for the
defense Of the country. and in case Of the
danger which they exist to repel-invasion
would be beaten in detail before they could
take the field. II this is not mostly true
of our American militia We should like to
know it, The militia Of each State should
have complete organization and then the
militia of all the States should be part OF
one general system, complete in all its
parts. That is to say il we have militia
at all, it should be complete and available

They Improve With Age.

Having occasion the other day to
search for some copies of daily news
papers of certain date in 1875. l was
not surprised to find that at the offices
of the newspapers l could buy no cop
les. Not one of the great dailies could
furnish copy of the date which l
needed, but l was referred in every
case to man named Robert Budd, for
merly boot-black, who made a busi-
ness of dealing in back numbers of
newspapers. found him, and in half
an hour had the papers.
Budd's history, or rather that of his
business, is peculiar. He is coal
black negro, with an intelligent face
and remarkable faculty for estimating
the value of his wares. Although he
has regular price-list, his prices vary
according to what he thinks NAV be
the value of the paper to the would-be
buyer. Some months ago there was a
law case which required the present
ment in court either of certain newspa-
pers or Of a certified copy of an article
covering several pages in small type.
Budd was the only man in the city who
could furnish the paper; he asked S10O
for it, although it was not ten years
old, and had originally cost him but 2
cents, and the sum was paid, for the
certified copy would have cost still
more.
Five years ago Budd had a boot
backing stand on Broadway, near
Thirtieth street, and at the same time
sold old newspapers. He was struck
with the number of demands made up
on him for copies of newspapers two or
three days, or week, or even month,
old, and he had the idea of adding to
his business that of old newspapers.
That there is demand for old news
papers is simply shown by the business
he has built up. At present he occu-
pies large cellar, the walls of which
are lined with newspapers tied up in
bundles, each bundle containing the
copies of one month of each year.
There is a tag attached to each bundle
giving the month and year.
As he still keeps up his newspaper
stand he of course gets his papers at
cost price. and when person really
wants a paper there is a fine chance
for profit Every day Budd puts away
twenty copies of The Herald, twenty
copies of The sun. ten of The World,
Times, and Tribune each, and five cop
les of each of the evening newspapers.
His schedule of prices is supposed to
be as follows: For papers three days
old, double the price; for papers
week old, 10 cents; for papers month
old, 25 cents; for papers year old. 81;
for papers more than year old, S1.2
additional for every year. But, as l
said before, this schedule is no guide
in case Budd discovers that the paper
is of great importance. Soon after he
began business he bought up complete
files of several newspapers, running
back in some cases to 1850. That he
finds the business profitable one may
be inferred from his ability to keep two
assistants at work.
The number of persons who wish to
buy back copies of the newspapers is
larger than most people might suppose.
In course of an half an hour, during
which l searched through an old file,
five persons came into Budd's place
and bought papers varying in age from
2 days to years.-New Haren Ne,o

"What is Ones Social Duty?"

Often We hear one friend ask this
question of another. Is ones social
duty done by accepting and giving in
vitations? What do we bind ourselves
to in accepting the hospitality of a
friend or acquaintance? Is our duty by
her done when we have entered the
portal of our hostess and have given
her greeting? Do we owe anything to
her guests? If we are man, do we do
our duty when We neglect speaking to
the ladies whom we know? If we see
a chance when we can be of service to
our hostess in making things pleasant
and agreeable for her. is not that our
duty to be ready and happy to do her
bidding or even to anticipate it? If we
are woman our power to do more
than to make ourselves as agreeable as
we may is limited. We can then only
be kind. generous and considerate of
other women as it comes in our way.
We cannot seek the opportunity of be-
ing polite and making the happiness OF
those about us as men can. Selfishness,
alas that we see so much of it where
there is the least excuse for it.-Ladies

Callisthenes, the philosopher OF oiyn-

In all countries there are records OF
the excessive fondness of great men Ior
oysters. Cervantes was an oyster
lover, and he satirized the oyster-deal-
ers of Spain. Louis IX., careful lest
scholarship should become deficient in
France, feasted the learned doctors OF
the Sorbonne once year on oysters;
and another Louis invested his cook
with an order of nobility as reward
for his oyster-cookery. Napoleon, also,
was an oyster-lover; so was Rousseau,
and Marshal Turgot used to eat hum
dred or two just to whet his appetite
for breakfast. Invitations to dish OF
oysters were common in the literary
and artistic circles of Paris at the latter
end of the last century. The ency-
clopedists were particularly fond Of
oysters. Helvetius. Diderot, and the
Able Raynal, Voltaire, and others
were confirmed oyster-men.

This is likely to be an off year-tor the

and the zeal of the strikers will ooze out,
gently, through their pores, as they find
that the Republican "rascals'' do not go"

and that the Bourbon rogues are left, for
an indefinite period, out in the cold. The
