Head to the North.

WHY WE SHOULD SLEEP WITH OUR BODIES LYING
NORTH AND SOUTH.
From the Globe-Democrat
Scientific investigation proves that there is
the best possible foundation for the belief that
we should sleep with our bodies lying north
and south. Each human system has magnetic
poles, one positive and one negative. 1t is
true that some persons have the positive pole
in the head and the negative pole in the feet.
and others the reverse. In order that the per-
son sleeping should be in perfect harmony with
the magnetic phenomena of the earth, the
head, If it possess the positive pole should lie
to the south, if the feet possess the positive
pole. the head should lie to the north.
The positive pole should always lie opposite
to the magnetic center of the continent and
thus maintain a magnetic equilibrium. The
positive pole of the person draws one way. but
the magnetic pole of the earth draws the other
way and forces the blood toward the feet, af-
fects the iron in the system, tones up the
nerves and makes sleep refreshing and invig-
Grating.
But if person sleeps the wrong way and
fails to become magnetically in sympathy with
the earth. he will then probably be too mag
netlc and will have a fever resulting from the
magnetic forces working too fast: or he will
not be magnetic enough and the great strain
will cause a feeling of lassitude sleep will moi
be refreshing and in the morning he will have
no more energy than there is in a cake of SOAP.
Some persons may scott at these ideas but the
greatest scientific men of the world have
studied the subject

curious rivalry has been going on for fort

oyerreach one another by putting Jacques bills

Julius has been in this country but ten weeks

A Sad State of Affairs

From Sermon BY Rev. A. j. Wheeler Of New Haven
An evil which threatens women is the bad
literature Of the day. Ninety-ni novels out
of hundred are injurious. woman should
never read fictitious story which misrepre-
sents life; she should beware of the sensational
book and any book that infames the mind by
its passion. Obscene pictures which are pass
ing through our post-offices every day should
be anathematized in every way possible. am
sometimes tempted to believe that amateur
photography is a curse.
In modern society one-half of the society
men are wondering how in the world they can
get the wives Of the other half. This NAV

tears to the eyes Of others in this city. Clubs
and hotels are becoming dens of corruption. /

Women Won't Take Pennies,

STREET CAR CONDUCTOR ON FoIBLE OF THE
FAIR SEX.
"Can you give me some nickels for pennies?'
'This is women's hour, and Pm afraid I'm
shortr'
The street car conductor jingled handful
of pennies nervously as he spoke. A New York
Nal and Express reporter, who overheard him,
asked for an explanation.
Explanatory responded the knight of the
bell-punch. "Its easy to see you don't ride on
this route much at this hour. If you're going
to ride far uptown on his car you'll find that Il
will be filled farther up with ladies going home
from shopping. That's. why we call this
'women's hour
well, you just watch them women" con-
tinued the conductor oracularly, ''and see il
every woman who can don't pay her fare in
pennies, and if any of them will take change in
pennies from me without making kick. It's
their way, and I've seen women hunt in everv
pocket they had for pennies rather than give up
| nickel, and if they don't have the pennies
they give over the nickel in a way that means
pretty plainly that they don't think they ought
to do it,
''They stand in with each other too, on it.
I've seen one woman help another out with
some OF her own pennies so that should get
them for fare. But you just let me offer them
pennies in change and see how quick they OBJ
ject. If can help it don't offer them pen
mics, for it isn't pleasant. When 1 am obliged
to do 1t and see the way I'm giared at and hear
the remarks made, feel like some sort of a
criminal. 1t amt pleasant 1 tell you, so if you
can give me some bigger change for pennies
you'll help me out, for I'm loaded down with
coppers this afternoon"
Farther uptown the reporter had an oppor-
tunity to observe that the conductor was right
in what he had said. The anxiety of the fair
danes who boarded the car to get rid of their
pennies was only exceeded by their aversion to
taking them. 1t was one of those oft-recurring
exhibitions of the wondrous ways of the fairer
and more interesting sex.

stances which led to Mr.. Mays retirement from
New York are within the recollection of our
readers. During drunken orgie he insulted
several defenceless women and made an attempt
to murder the police officers who took him into
custody. Mr.. May subsequently jumped
bail and disappeared. Mr.. Curtin informed a
reporter that May had gone to Rio de Janeiro
from New York, and had subsequently entered

The Modern World and the Church.

claring that the negotiations between Russia

says that it is now more than ever necessary
for the powers to make common cause with the
church by reason Of the perils by which they
are threatened proof of which was afforded by
the recent unfortunate disturbances in Rome.

and the perfecting of weapons of destruction

Waited On by the President.


From the New York Sun
1t is not every reporter who has been waited
on by the President of the United States
though reporters get acquainted with Presi-
dents quite a matter of course, just they
do with all other men who live in the news
atmosphere. In this case the Sun reporter and
the late Capt. Ronald F. Coffin were reporting
President Arthur's fishing trip at the Thousand
Islands. The President had a private dining.
room set apart for him, but he abolished its
privacy by inviting the reporters to share il
with him. There he ate at one table with Mr.
r. G. Dun, and the reporters had another table
across the little room.
What are you eating, boys?H the President
often called out at breakfast.
"Muskallonge, SIR"

hope it will taste good in proportion to the
pleasure it gave me to get it into my boat.
1t Is historic fact that Mr. Dun took no par,
In these conversations.
One night, when the hand of time had slipped
around so far that the hotel was closed and
barred and bolted, the reporter tried all the
doors and could not get in. While they were
knocking on the last of the four or five
entrance ways, the door suddenly opened and
President Arthur stood before the reporters,
Always charming man, Mr.. Arthur was at
this moment fascinating, both because he was
playing the part of a deliverer and because he
was smiling so broadly.
MIR. President, this is too bad" the reporters
said. 1--WE did not mean to disturb you
"Oh, that's all right" said the President.
''But what bothers me is how you could have
made their acquaintance so quickly?'
Whose acquaintance. sir?'

/, 1T won't do" said he. Your work depends
on what l do, and as have not done a solitary
thing to-day, you can't plead work excuse"
When the reporters again apologized for
bringing him to the door, the President made
this remarkable explanation:
My colored boy was asleep in a chair in nv
room, and thought it better to go and let YOU
in than to disturb him.

A San Francisco dispatch says that Captain

of-war Adams, at Samoa, has learned since his
arrival IN San Francisco that important letters
were addressed to him by Rear Admiral KIM
berry and by the State Department which
failed to reach him. but that other mail matter
sent at the same time, and one ordering him to
cruise in other waters, did reach him. He is
now instituting an inquiry as to the failure to
receive his mails The post-ofice at Apia Is in
the hands of the Germans, and all mail matter,
whether addressed to officials or private
parties, is handled by them.
The mails are carried from San Francisco by
the Oceanic steamers and are dropped at the
island of Tutuila, where they are taken on
board by German steamer for Apia, 60 miles
distant An American man-of-war took all Off
cial mail from Apia to meet the steamer Tutuila
on her way to San Francisco, in order to prevent
the possibility of the Germans tampering with
the nails At the request of Americans on
the islands many of the letters which went on
the steamship Alameda were inclosed in envel-
opes and addressed to the American consul at
Tutuila. Complaint has frequently been made
that mail intended for American citizens at
Apia has been delayed and at times altogether
withheld by the German authorities. Captain
Leary is prosecuting an inquiry to determine
whether his official mail was tempered with.
