THE ART OF RESTING
"A Short After-Dinner Nap Gives Fresh
Hold on Life.

In addition to the good nights sleep,
it is good plan to take a short nap in
the middle of the day. 1t devises the
worklngtlme, gives the nervous system a
fresh hold of life and enables one to more
than make up for tie time so
occupied. 1t is well to guard against too
long sleep at such times, since such is
apt to produce Gisagreeable relaxation.
There has been much discussion regard
ing the after dinner maps, many believed
to be injurious, but it is, nevertheless,
natural and wholesome. Much can be
done In the way of resting, short of sleep,
it is very important to aconomize the OPP
portunities for rest during working hours
IN the day. The great principle which
underlies daily rest is relieving one por-
ton OF the organization from duty while
the others are at work. This can be done
to a great extent.
When the muscles are tired and worn
from mechanical work which requires
but little attention of the brain, stop mo-
ton and set the brain at work. The
laborer can read, think and speak while
his weary limbs are at rest. His brain
need not be idle because the hammer or
chisel has dropped from his weary hand.
On the other hand, man can work with
his hands when his head is tired The
book-keeper, whose head is busy with
business facts, and fingers by 5 o'clock in
the afternoon, has considerable time in
the evening to play, dig in the garden
or black his boots, all or either of which
he may do while his head is partially at
rest There is another very important
way of obtaining rest mental y; that is
by changing from one occupation to an
other. The dextrous goldbeater when he
finds one arm tired takes the hammer in
the other; and so may the man who ham,
mers thoughts out of his brain exercise
one set of mental functions while the other,
are at rest One may read until tired,
and then write; may acquire knowledge
until weary. and then teach to others.

ARE WE NEAR ANOTHER
GLACIAL EPOCH.

ARE WE NEAR ANOTHER
GLACIAL EPOCH.
THoUGH the past winter has been mod
crate in America the cold in Europe
has been so great that Professor Bonnev,
an English geologits, it is reported, has
been led to inquire if such a permanent
fall of temperature would restore the So
called glacial epoch? During the frost
from Nov. 25 to Jan. % ult. the mean
temperature over all the southeast of
England was two degrees below the freez-
ing point. Prof Bonney concludes that a
lowering of the mean by only eighteen
degrees Fahrenheit, would again
cover the British Islands and the
United States with an ice sheet.
The story of the late DIR. Croll, upon
which this conclusion has been mainly
reached 10y biologists, is however, far
from impregnable. He assumes that in
the remote past our winters happened
when the earth was in the aphelion of It's
orbit, and hence over eight million miles
further from the sun than it now is in
winter. From this assumption he rea.
sons that our summers would be cooler
and shorter and winters colder and longer,
the snow would accumulate enormously on
the continents and that the equatorial and
gulf stream of the Atlantic and Pacific
would be stopped or thrown off into the
southern hemisphere. No wonder
geologists who had worked in vain
upon numerous theories and long been
cropping hopelessly in the dark for some
explanation of the ice age, clutched at DR..
Croll's fascinating hypothesis. But it is a
rather lame expedient. Under the condi-
tions assumed by DR.. Croll-the suns di-
rect heat being in winter one-ffth
less than it now is-evaporateS from
the oceans and minor water surfaces
OF the globe would lie so scanty
and tie atmosphere consequently so dry
hat precipitation would he very light.
Careful analysis of rainfall data shows
that in our epoch more than one-half
of the eartl's land masses receives
only about fifteen or twenty irchesof ran
annually, the rest averaging from twenty
five to fifty, and six per cent. getting
about seventy five inches. Were all the
land of the northern hemisphere to receive
fifty inches of rain, or its equivalent.
forty-two inches of snow, In year, this
deposit would not account for all the
known phenomena of glaciation. But
on DR.. Croll's theory, the annual pre-
cipitation in the glacial epoch could
scarcely have averaged eighty per cent.
of the present quantity. If, as he sup
poses, the warm gulf streams were shunt-
ed off from our hemisphere into the re-
gions south of the equator they would ulti-
m1tely return under the forces of eravita-
ton. We may, therefore, without hesita.
tion conclude that there is nothing what
ever in this theory Of the glacial epoch
which affords the barest probability of
any serious climatic changes Oh the north
e1n continents, much less any change that
would produce an ice street. The dis
cussion. however, will not he useless if it
leads geolog1sts to look further for some
satisfactory explanation of the glacial
epoch.

II cannot be said after this that railroad
corporations have no respect for law
The New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad company at first refused TO obey
the New York law forbidding the use of
stoves in passenger cars upon railroads
fifty miles in length on the plea
that less than forty miles of the
road was within the state Of New York
An accident, in which the car stove got
in its usual effective work by roasting SIX
people to death, led to the Indictment and
arrest of a round dozen of its directors for
disobedience of the law. The directors
have givon bail and their cases have not
vet been called for triai-perhaps may
never be-but it is now authoritatively
announced that fifty of the company's cars
will be equipped with steam-heating APP
paratus within few DAYS, and the work
will be continued at the company shops
until every passenger car on the road is
fitted with steam and hot-water pipes. The
moral of this little story is obvious. These
directors have taken a new view of the
law since the law got its grip on the direct
ors. They don't wait for the courts to
decide whether the law applies to their
road. 1t is enough that they have fallen
into the clutches of the law. If the law
held directors responsible FOR the illegal
cts of corporations little oftener there
would be less disregard for the law on the
part of railway corporations. Railways
will obey the laws as we'll as individuals
when il becomes q rule of the courts to
punish railway directors for the infractions
Of the law by the corporations they assume
to direct

OF EUROPEAN CITIES.
Wonderful Increase of Population In Cities
of the Old Country.

According to the census which has Just
been completed in Germany, the growth
of cities is almost as rapid in Earope as in
this country, and in some respects even
more wonderful. Berlin has gone % past
New York, with population of l ,573 485.
Hamburg, with its big suburb of Altoona.
has 7l5. 10 inhabitants. Lelpsic is cred
tied with 353.2 ZIP. Munich has popuIa
tion of 345 ,899, and that Of Breslau is 334,-
10 Cologne has 282 537 inhabitants;
Dresden, 276, 085; Magdeburg. 200 OIL. and
Frankfort-on the Main, 179, $50. In 1885
when the last previous census of Germany
was taken. Berlin had 1915, 297 inhab

on-the- Main, 154 5l2. Such gains as are
an equal number of American cities. The.
period between the two enumerations, it
must be remembered. is only half as long
as that from 1880 to 1890, which is used in.
all tables showing the growth of Ameri-.
can cities, and yet, while there are but
four places in this country in, which the.

has four cities which have increased from

the same with some of the smaller cities
Magdeburg has gained about as much In
FIVE years as Detroit and Milwaukee in
ten, Cincinnati or San Francisco.
The crowding into the towns which has
caused so much comment in this country
is found elsewhere in the civilized world.
Next year the census to be taken In Great
Britain will show that not few British
cities have been gaining at an astonishing
rate for old towns in the country where the
population has long been dense. Even In
ancient India the growth of the cities is
put of all proportion to that of the country

In His Line of Duty.

Governor elect Frank Brown has
announced publicly that he will oc
cupy the executive mansion during
his time as Governor of Maryland.
This is right aud proper and In
line of his official duty and in keep
ing with the declaration made by
Mr. Brown long before he was a
candidate for office. More than a
year ago, when the gubernatorial
question was being mooted by the
people, the CAPITAL was the first
paper in the State to suggest the
name of Frank Brown as proper
man for Governor, because be had
made this statement in a public
speech more than four years previous
that eff he was ever chosen Cover
nor by the people of Maryland, he
would reside at the State Capital
where the Constitution requires the
Governor to live; that the State of
Maryland had erected a mansion
for its Governor at cost of over one
hundred aud fifty thousand dollars,
and that the constitution expressly
declared that the residence of the
Governor shall be at the State Capt.
toll" This is his post of duty-the
place where he is expected to be
found, and the place where
the people pay him to be.
Mr.. Brown no doubt saw the
necessity of this years ago-no doubt
he has experienced some of the in
conveniences arising from period
ical Governor at the State Capitol,
hence his emphatic expression on
that subject. The CAPITAL remem-
bered bis remarks at that time, and
made this one of the issues in his
present campaign. 1t was taken up
by other papers of the state and it
proved to be strong lever in his
election. 1t is a well-known fact
that during Mr.. Browns admins

England aud the Trouble in chill

Our present difficulty with Chill
among other things has served to
show MS the unfriendly spirit in
which the United States and its
affairs are regarded by many English
men. The London Times never
misses an opportunity to criticize the
administration of our foreign affairs
and to criticize in such way as
shows Enthusiastically the jealousy
amounting almost to positive hatred
With which il regards this country.
England appears to ls jealous of our
growing power, and the sight of our
commercial prosperity is most disa-
greeable to British merchants. Since
MIR. Eagan was appointed minister to
Chill, he has been extremely active
in advancing the business interests
of this country, and his actions have
stirred up the bitterest animosity
against him on the part of all the
Englishmen in Chill. They have in
cited the Chileans against him and
in great measure are responsible
for the resent unfriendly relations
existing between us and their coun-
try. 1t is impossible for many En-
glishmen to repress their dislike for
everything American, and although
many of them are fairminded enough
to recognize and acknowledge the
greatness of our country it will be
anwise for us ever to rely too much

The news from Denver today in re-
gard to the Mrs. Barnaby murder
case will prove of sensational interest
in Montana. If it is true that the DEM
ocratic candidate for the lieutenant
governorship of this state in the cam
paign OF 1890 put up $4,000 for cleo
ton expenses, it would be interesting
to know just how much the other can
didates were bled and how much
Doodle the campaign cost the "advo-
Gates of an honest suffrage in this
state" The amount was M esti-
mated at half million, and probably
the figure is not too high, though it
was once officially stated after the
fight was over that the cost of each
Democratic vote cast was only an av-
erage of SIP, which would have called
for an expenditure of only about a
quarter of a million. The result of
the contest, however, is well remem-
bered. Governor Toole was the only
man left to tell the tale. All the rest
of the state ticket and both branches
of the legislature were carried by the
Republicans, who, of course, elected
two senator's, and that's what makes
the Democrats SO mad all the time.
But who would have thouhgt that q
murder trial in Denver would expose
this interesting bit of political gossip
about Democratic campaign funds in
Montana.

Tariff Reform Means Free Trade.

Experience goes to prove that the
demand for tariff reform cannot be
appeased by any concession short of
absolute surrender of the protective
principle. 1t must be met and silenced
by overwhelming defeat whenever and
wherever opportunity offers, for as
the o candid among agitators
freely admit, it is tariff repeal toward
which they are pressing, and without
which they Will decline to be satisfied.
Although the existing tariff law
places more dollars worth of imports
on the free list than was proposed by
the much-lauded Mills bill-and while
there is nothing the average family
needs to buy that is not now cheaper
than under any former law-there is
no abatement in the demand for tariff
reform" And none need be expected
so long a. the utmost demand of the
Golden school economists is not COM
piled with, i. g., free trade for every
article in the supply of which foreign
ers may desire to compete. Proof OF
this can be found in the fact that the
self-styled "reformers" Just as vigor-
ously denounce the Mckinley tariff,
RELOCATING to the free list one-half OF
all imports, as they opposed preced-
ing legislation in which the number OF
dutiable articles was more than double
that of today. They are no better
pleased with the tariff of S11 per ton
on steel rails than they were with the
SIT exacted by the former law. They
have no word Of commendGtion for
the reduction of twenty-five per cent
to fifty per cent OF the tariff on most
kinds of lumber, on nails, and a long
list OF metal wares. In short, they
! refuse to be comforted so long as for
~eigners are required to pay anything
whatever for the privilege of compel
ing i'm the markets of this country.
Their silence as to the provision for
reciprocity in trade with friendly ma
tions seems properly traceable to the
fact OF opposition because foreigners
are thereby compelled to concede some
OF their selfish demands for CONNER
cial privileges that cost them nothing.
Argument seems wasted on the av-
erage free-trade shouter. The only
safe course is to ignore his demand
and continue TO shape our economic
legislation with a view to steady and
profitable employment OF the labor
and of the country, thereby
insurIng national independence so far
as nature, aided by the energy and in
genuity OF our people, render such in
depence a possibility.
