An English Author Vigorously Attacks a
Number of Popular Notions.
There is a notion abroad that the
older one grows the less one has need
of sleep, but for my part every year
like it in larger and larger quantities.
The he ghts by great men reached and kept
Were not attnint d by "a sudden flight,

Is verse that has led good many
people astray. The poet does not tell
us how these great mon felt in the
morning. don't believe In this night
work. Arsenius used to say that one
hours sleep a night was enough for a
monk; but am not aware that even
as n monk he greatly distinguished
himself Caligula never slept above
three hours, and no wonder. The best
advice, am persuaded, that can be
given to q brainworker is 'go to
bed early and sleep for ten hours;n it
Is true that doctors are addicted to
working at night, but they have the
honesty to tell their patients, both in
this matter and in feasting (for there
is nobody so ''imprudent" as your
doctor): DO as tell you, not do as
do"
This cutting short of sleep is one of
the snares in which we poor literary
folk are so often caught and slain.
What terrible examples have l not
seen OF il in the noblest and best of us!
Shakespeare understood the value OF
sleep thoroughly and has written the
nohlest praise OF it. The worst pun
lshment even his imagination could de-
wise for criminal was that he should
"sleep no more" This, be it noted,
was not because he had murdered his
king and guest (though that OF course,
was reprehensible), but because,he had
murdered sleep itself, very much
more serious matter. Payne, IN

German experiments prove that skim
milk is nearly one-fourth more val

cheese-makers should learn the lesson
that their poor old white oak trash is
almost total waste of the sl1im-mils

solute injury they do the market for
American cheese. 1t also requires but

into cheese, while one IL an huaest and
upright business and the othor closely
allied to a fraud, for the retailer never
sells the stuff for what it is, but makes
the families who buy IL believe they
are purchasing II ilrst-class article of
cheese, and this is the great reason
why so few American families care for
