General RoseCrauB Ia catching it on
account Of his article, "Tho Mistakes Of
Grant," in the November North American
Rsvies. Some good souls regard it as a
national aiTrOnt that anybody dares to
criticiso tho military career Of General
Grant This 10 little more complimentary
TO the Old Commander than RoseCrans ia
himself, for It sounds as though there
might be something in his career that
would upset the worlds estimate Of
GranEs soIdieiIy qualities.
Grants fame does not hang by 30 slen-
der thread that the breath Of Ndyene
CriticlHm must not be brea;hed upon it.
Nor was he a god, that mortals must bow
down and worship him. 1t is becauEe
U. Grant was a man, did manly part
and served his country, as most Of his
countrymen believe, with splendid ability,
that he was honored in life and in death
as few men have been in any land.
General Rosecrans has never been fair
to Grant, has always looked on him
through green goggles and with his field
glasses reversed; but let him write. Let
everybody write and talk. And after all
the writing and the talking Grants fame
as soldier will remain untarnished, il It
deserves to be. II Grant was not great
soldier, then the world has gone wrong
with It's eyes open and oil the evidence bo-
fore II.

rhe Ethics of Good Sleep n Part of House,

Profanity and lying are regarded by
all as immoral, but did anyone ever
think it immoral not to sleep enoughP
1t is hardly an extravagant assertion
that comparatively few people, after
childhood has passed, know by expert
snce what perfect sleep is, and satisfy
themselves with poor apology for this
best of all refreshments. Rising tired
and weary from disturbed, imperfect
sleep, they proceed to summon up lost
energies by taking strong tea or coffee,
Or alcohol, which, in their turn, again
interfere with perfect rest, and this,
more than any mental or physical
abors, wears women out, and makes
them prematurely old. 81 have been

The most perfect sleep is obtained by
