Gen. Lord Wolseley, England's Iced.
ing soldier, iI@ man Of simple and alb.
stemious habits and is an emphatic
advocate Of sleep. When he is his own
master he goes to rest between 10 and
II and is up before G. He is a sound
sleeper and can sleep at almost any time
and under any circumstances, which is
no doubt one great secret of success; for
IN war, as in politics, tho man who can
not sleep might as well retire from the
running. You cannot put in your
time more proitably than in sleeping. /"
Lord Wolseley says, and the SAYING is

sleep you can always renew your
strength. 1t is when sleep fails that
