How Far Can You Hear!

Some experiments in judging dis tance by sound were carried out on Saturday last by one of the London brigades of the Metropolitan Volun- teers. This branch of military tactics is quite new departure in volunteer ing, and one which. if it is 10 be made of service, will require more than an ordinary amount of practice. It was first explained to the men that sound travels at the rate of HOO yards in three seconds, and OH this basis they were to estimate the distance at which some rifles were being discharged in the darkness. The answers at first were very wide of the mark, some of the men being as much as l5o yards ont in their cal culations. With little practice, how ever, great improvement was shown, many of the men guessing the distance exactly. am told, however. that the experiments are not as satisfactory as was hoped, and it is. thought some time must eiapse before judging dis tanec by sound can be relied upon with any certainty.

Uncle Sam.s Youngest Senator.

Senator Frank Pettigrew, of south Dakota, says the Chicago Times, is probably the youngest man now in the Senate. He is only forty years of age, and looks even younger. He is as un- assuming as he was when twenty years ago he went to Dakota poor boy. It has been his good fortune to possess moi only exceptional abilities but ex- ceptional opportunities. Senator Pot tigrcw is worth at least g ,o00 ,00o. probably much more. He is easily the most popular man in his party in the new State and has friends wherever he is known. The retention of his friends is due largely to his unpreten- tious manners, and those who have known him the longest like him the best.
 Besides being business man, Sena- tor Pettigrew is good lawyer and a very forceful speaker He will make a mark in the Senate.

MAKE CHILDHOOD SWEET.

Wait not till tho little hands arc at rest Fro you fill thcm full of flowers, Wait not for the crowning tubcrose To mako sweet the last sad hours; But while in the busy household band Your darlings still need your guiding
 hand,
 Oh, fill their lives with sweetness! Wait not till the little hearts are still For the loving look or praise But while you gently chide fault The good deed kindly praise. The word you would speak beside the bier Falls sweeter far on the living eari O, fill young lives with sweetness. An, what are kisses on cold, clay lips To the rosy mouth we press, When our wee one flies to her mothers
 arms
 For loves tenderest caress. Let never worldly bauble keep Your heart from the joy each day should
 reap,
 Circling young lives with sweetness. Give thanks each morn, for the sturdy
 boys,
 Give thanks for the fairy girls; With dover of wealth like this at homo Would you rife the earth Of pearls Wait not for death to gem Loves crown, But daily shower life's blessings down, And fill young hearts with sweetness. Remember the homes where tho light has
 fled,
 Where the rose has faded away; And the love that grows in youthful
 hearts,
 0, cherish it while you may. And make your homo a garden of flowers, Where joy shall bloom through childhood's s
 hours,
 And fill young hearts with sweetness

According to this years s'Hansard" there were, during the past session, l22 sittings, lasting all together lolS hours, the longest sitting being that of the 27th and 2sth of August, when the House met at o'clock and sat for over thirteen hours. By members of the Government, 1895 speeches were de- livercd, and by cx-Ministers, 965. The Speaker spoke 497 times, and Mir. Courtney, in the capacity of Deputy Speaker and Chairman of Committees, 2so times. Speeches delivered by pri- vate members, to the number of 5, 5,fs7. bring the grand total for the year up to s,5k5. Owing to the greater length at which speeches during the past scs- sion have been reported, the dimen- sions of s'Hansard" this year arc un- usually formidable.

 In Few Words
 Man is the only thing that causes doub, of God.
 When a man shall neither cause his neighbours death nor fear his own he will bo God.
 What Is eoluettea woman who causes ono or several men to suffer without giving them anything. What Is man who can be made to suffer by n woman from whom he receives nothing? He Is simpleton. Why. then. dcspise eoquettes, and where is the harm when heartless woman destroys headless man?
 Men are so cowarily and servile that fl their tyrants should order them To love each other they would adore each other.
 lt is not wickedness that does the most harm; it Is stupidity,
 prefer the wicked to the imbecile. because they sometimes rest
 Let women engrave this deep in their memory He alone Is worthy of their loye who has deemed them worthy ot his respect
 Those whom we love and have lost arc no longer where they we're. but are wherever we arc.
 The presentiment that man feels of eternity in another world arises from his despair at not being eternal in this.
 Man was created to utilize every thing, even sorrow.
 The vernality of woman is the pun ishment of her purchaser
 The only thing that astonishes me Is that people are still astonishcd at anything.

How f.sne Ds You sleepi

Insomni@is rightly regarded as ono of the marks of an overwrought or worried nervous system, and converse ly we may take 1t that sound sleep lasting for reasonable period, say, from six to nine hours in the case of adults, is fair test of nervous com petencc. Various accidental causes may temporarily interfere with sleep in the healthy; but still the rule holds good, and normal brain reveals it's condition by obedience 10 this daily rythmic variation. Custom can dc much to contract ones natural term of sleep, fact of which we arc constant ly reminded in these days of high pres sure but the process js too artificial to bc freely employed. Laborious days with scanty intervals cf rest go far to secure all the necdful conditions of insomnia: In allotting hours of sleep it is impossible 10 adopt any maxim or uniform custom. Tho duo allowance varies with the individual. Age, constitution, sex. fatigue, exer- else, each has its share or influence. Young persons and hard workers nat urally need and should havc more sleep than those who neither grow nor labor. Women have by common con sent been assigned longer period of rest than men, and this arrangement, in tho event of their doing hard work, Is in strict accord with their generally lighter physical construction and re- current iniirruitics. Absolute rule there is none. and Il is of little mo- ment to fix an exact average allowance provided the recurrence of sleep be regular and its amount sufficient for the needs of a given person, so that fatigue does not result in such nervous prostration and irritability as render healthy rest impossible.

Look Out for water.Color Paintings.

Mir. !. J. Hisssy of Ravens Moat, Eastbourne. writes; "Now that the electric light is being generally intro duced into our houses, it may be well to caution those possessing valuable water-color paintings against placing the electric lamps in close proximity to their pictures, as have found, after three years experience of the electric incandesccnt light in my own home, that so placed the new illuminant is sufficiently powerful 10 cause some of the more delicate pigments 10 fade to greater or lesser degree. Water colors that are safe in difiused day light are certainly not always so when exposed night after night, for many hours, to the active white light of electricity close at hand.r
