PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.
Statistics Showing That Too Vigorous
Physical Exercise Shortens Life.


DR.. Patton, surgeon of the National Sol
diers' home, Dayton, o., is credited with
the remark that of The 5000 soldiers in
that institution fully SO per cent are suf-
fering from heart disease in one form or
another, due to the forced physical exer-
ton of the campaigns"
In regard to the likelihood of exercise
prolonging life Science says that, accord
ing to the statistics of NJ. de Solaiville,
there are more people living in France to-
day who have passed the age of 60 than
there are in England, the home of athletic
sports; and there is probably no nation in
Europe more adverse to muscular cultiva-
ton for its own sake than the French.
Great athletes die young, and a mortality
list of Oxford rowing men published a
few years ago showed that a compara-
lively small percentage of them lived out
the allotted lifetime DR.. Jastrow has
demonstrated in some very elaborate sta
tistcs that men of thought live, on an av-
erage, three years and half longer than
men in the ordinary vocations of life.

Here is a Worlds fair suggestion
which comes from a correspondent of
The Chicago Tribune residing at Edin-
Durgh, Scotland. He says:

voted entirely 10 display of the models Of all the
famous buildings and bridges of the world-the
Tai Of Agra, British India; st, Peters, Rome;
House of Parliament; the Winter Palace st. Pc

Coliseum Rome, etc, and such bridges the
Forth bridge London bridge, tn Rialto and the
Bridge of signs Venice; the Bridge of the Ho.y
Trinity, Florence, and Trajans bridge over the
Danube. How few there are who will ever have
the chance Of seeing all, few, of these
architectural triumphs scattered over the globe,
but there is a splendid opportunity of placing
them in miniature before the eyes Of every visitor

1t would occupy much space to de-

and in fact they are so nearly alike that,
save in matters of wealth, size of collec-
ton and architectural features. descrip-
ton is unnecessary. Literature has no

Naturally the diversity of books is
sued to readers varies according to the
community, Cosmopolitan New York
absorbs almost everything. On the east
side of the city the taste runs to novels
and light literature, with here and there
grubber in deeper soil. On the west
side the borrowers seem to prefer histo-
ries, "reminiscences and travels, while
there is a large contingent of people
who, living by brain work, though not
strictly literary, endeavor to keep pace
with everything new or suggestive in
the world of letters, from the last ro-
nance to the highest development of
scientific exploration.
A rough estimate has placed the value
of books thus publicly circulated in the
United States at $40,000.O00. Figures
cannot be more eloquent than these in
demonstrating the intellectual tendency

DR.. G.. f. Fitz Gerald is authority for the
following plain statements and practical
advice about sleep: Sleep, to be refresh
ing, ought to be dreamless. During sleep
the reason is in allegiance, and it has been
suggested that dreams are the result of the
reasoning or controlling center of the brain
being asleep while the imaginative part is
awake During healthy sleep the brain is
in an anRmic or comparatively bloodless
condition, and sleeplessness is often caused
by an undue supply of blood to the head
as when the feet are cold or the brain is
excited. Delicate and nervous people
should avoid toward night brain work or
anything likely to increase the flow of
blood to the head, such as deep or sensa-
tional reading, or any other excitement,
peasurable or the reverse, and should try
to promote cquable circulation.
Sleep may often he promoted by brisk
friction of the feet or a hot water bottle. or
even by standing up, walking about the
room, or even sitting upright, for in all
these positions the blood tends to gravitate
away from the brain to the lower extremi-
ties Those who suffer from feeble cir
culation should always have hot water
bottle at their feet at night; to the very
young, .he aged, and the feeble, warmth is
almost as essential rs food. The duration
of the sleep should be noted accurately,
for there is no point on which ideas differ
more than as to what constitutes good
night some persons considering they have
had bad night if they wake once or twice
and expecting eight or nine hours consecu.
tive sleep, while others are satisfied with
the necessary minimum of six hours. II
any noise has to be endured at night, such
as ticking of clock or hammering, sleep
which otherwise seems hopeless, may some
times be induced by counting the sounds.

rial Of the officers and committee of the Grand
Harbor of the American Brotherhood of Steam
boat Pilots of the United States asking for o
change in tho rules and regulations prescribed
by the board OF supervising inspectors of steam
vessels. In connection with this petition Mr..
Flower asked consent for the adoption of

luton was referred.
TO INVESTIGATE THE HOUSE POSTMASTER

alleged that the postmaster Of the House has

Mr. Bradley. who works in the Governmen Mt
Printing Office, and that said Bradley pays S95
mouth to the son of the postmaster, who does
not work in the post Office. and directing the

In speaking of the resolution Mr.. Euloc re-
ferred to the resolution offered by him yester-
day, and complained of his being deprived of
the floor in a parliamentary but rather unfair
manner.
THE sPEAKER SUGGESTED
that the gentleman was out OF order in not
confining himself to the resolution under con-
sideration.
Mr.. Enloe retorted that sometimes it ap-
peared that the Speaker saw gentlemen on the
democratic side out Of order much more
quickly than he did gentlemen on the republi-
can side.

tho gentlemen on the democratic side were
much more clearly out Of order.
