The true artist has an instinct for perfec-
ton, and as a necessary consequence is never
fully satisfied with his own work. Some
times, however, he comes nearer to satisfying
himself than to meeting the taste Of his
patrons, especially if he is painter Of por-
traits.
New York artist, who was in Charleston
on pleasure trip, painted the portrait of a
little darby. She was encouraged to sit pa
tiently by having seen a beautiful picture
which the same artist had made Of the fair
haired daughter Of one Of the proudest houses
in Charleston, in whose service the young
darky's mother was laundress.
Patiently she posed, and when the portrait
was completed the artist brought it round to
show it to its original "Here you are, Janey, -

Statistics Of sleep may not prove anything
of Importance, but they are interesting Ac.
cording to statistics prepared in Russia, the
need Of sleep is greater in women than in
men, the duration of sleep being longer and
the percentage of tired morning and evening
and of not tired being three to two and two
to three respectively as compared to the men
Students sleep longer and are less tired than
other men. The time needed TO fall asleep is
about the same in all three elasses-90S min
utes for the men, Ill minutes for students.
and Pig minutes for women. In each case,
however, it takes longer for those who are
frequent dreamers and light sleepers to fall
asleep than persons Of opposite characters

Gath Oh Calico.

Not much improvement was made in the
way Of mechanics upon Archimedes, who
died PIP B. c., until we come down to Calico,
who got to the base of the laws of motion
about the year 1888, or some time after
Massachusetts had been settled by the Puri-
tans.
Calico was born in 1864 and died = 1912, a
few years before Charles was EXECUTED in
England
Calico was not perfectly educated man.
His father was a musician and the son had
resolved to be a painter, but his father put
him into medicine. By loving to draw he
fell into the line Of geometry and let medi-
cine go.
His first discovery was the isochronsm of
the vibrations of the pendulum, and he used
this principle to count the pulse of patients
and in the course of time applied it to clock
work He loved to read old Archimedes, and
from him got the idea of the hydrostatic bal
ance, and Of this he made description which
led to a mechanic named Ubaldi, of high de
gree, becoming his friend.
He now wrote a paper on the center of
gravity, which got him at the early age Of
"a professorship of mathematics at Pisa.
He was loaded with antagonists, and at once
attacked certain perverse and current views
of science. His severe language was followed
by hatred; and these enemies, once raised.

Gently when l saw venerable and benevolent
looking old gentleman assisting younger and
feeble man along the street, The scene was
such an unusual one, that l volunteered my
help to the elderly man, and learned that he
was the well-known doctor 7. S. Wilcox, and
that he was helping the younger man, who was
a consumptive, to an Institution of which he
had charge. accompanied them, assisting as
best could, and asked the elderly gentleman
some questions touching his past history and
his rich experiences of life. He replied that
he thought he could put the matter more
clearly in writing, and at my request gave me
the following statement:
II have been in the general practice Of medi-
cine for fHty years, being now over seventy
years of age, and have charge of the Sanitariaf,
Hospital, located at No. LOB Lawrence street.
Brooklyn, N. Y. During my lifetime of prac,
tice have found that more than one-third of
all deaths arise from consumption of the lungs
or some lung trouble. For century doctors
have tried TO reach and overcome this disease.
but have never succeeded. Few people who
have lung trouble know it; few people realize
their danger until it is too late. After a thor
ough trial of all known remedies, l have settled
down to the use of pure stimulants for all lung
difficulties, and find nothing so pure or valu.
able as Dutfy's Pure Malt Whiskey. One of the
superior advantages possessed only by this
whiskey. is its tonic power. 1t not only checks
the waste of lung tissue but it tones and builds
up the system wonderfully. In the Sanitarian
and in my general practice, l use it constantly
and have never known it to fail me-"

truth of DR.. Wilcox and believe his statement
can be made of great value to Sll,
