Eating Before Sleeping.

Our forefathers did not need to cat
just before retiring, because the time
between their evening meal and bedtime
was of short duration. But thousands
of weak people to-day let several hours
elapso between their evening meal and
bedtime, and during this interval the
stomach gets empty. From this time on
until the breakfast the stomach is entire
~ frec iron, ail food, and this adds
greatly to the nightly emaciation. sleep
lessness and general waketulness. It was
considered an objectionable sin against
our Btomachs to eat before retiring in
earlier days, but the proof of medical ex-
peTisEce shows now that there are more
people benefited by eating some light
food before retiring than those who are
injured by it. A little common sense will
easily demonstrate to one whether eating
before sleeping benefits him. The per-
petual disintegration Of the tissues, which
goes ON at all times, must be made up for
by supplying the body with plenty of
nutriment. Food taken into the stom.
achiat night is hctter assimilated, and
does moro good than that which is taken
in the daytime, when violent exercise
tends to counteract its good. Food will
digest when one is sleeping, but the
great fault is that people do not know
ftephs ssiological limit of their stomacas.
az IND emaciated persons improve
&1 zen only a small quantity of food is
placed in their stomachs at night, but if
Sit Is overloaded injury follows. Stout
and fat people should avoid food at night
andltheir weight would be greatly re-
duced. Weak and semaciated people
should eat a little of easily digested food
before retiring, and their general weight
would be increased. Many arise in the
morning with q bitter, sour taste in the
mouth, and they attribute this to tho
food they ate before retiring. This con-
clusion is logical and true. The remedy
is not to take that kind of food again, but
try some other kind until that which
does not disagree with the stomach is
found Yankee Blqde.

A Remarkable Memory.

William Cotter, Jr., of Hartford,
Conn.,, must have a remarkable memory.
He is registrar of votes, and the Times,
OF that city, says that Of 12,03O names
on the list, he claims to be able to tell
from memory the residence and politics
of every one, and also, in cases where a
person has been absent in Europe, to tell
where and when he went away.

Love

Love came at dawn when all the world was
fair.
When crimson glories, bloom, and song
were rife;
Love came at dawn when hopes wings
famed the air,
And murmured, II am life"
Love came at even when the day was done,
When heart and brain were tired, and
slumber preset:
Love came at eve, shut out the sinkin:, sun,
And whispered, II am rest.n

Many years ago, before Mr.. Opie p. Read
had earned fame rs the editor OF The Ark
RnsRw Traveller and as the author OF sew
ernl successful novels, he aud another inn
peCunious printer were engaged in the
publication of n weakly weekly at n little
town in Arkansas. They managed to live
through the summer by sleeping in their
Office and by swapping yearly subscriptions
and elaborate puffs for farm produce and
patent medicines. But when winter came
and they could not afford the e~xtravagancc
Of an all night fire, the question Of lodg-
iugs became a seriously important one.
For a time 1t looked as II the paper would
have 10 he discontinued, while the editors
tramped TO u more %congeuial cline. But
at last the genius OF Read came to the res
cue.
There was a freight train going down
the road, passing through that town at
9.OI p. m, and there was a passenger train
going up the road, passing at s.15 n. m. In
those days, long before Senator Cullom
conceived the idea OF the Interstate com
merce law, with its clause cutting OFT free
transportation, editors could get railroad
passes To their hearts content. Sc Mr..
Read and his partner, equipped with an
nual passes, good between all stations,
slept in the warm caboose of the freight
train until they met the passenger train,
and then came back home. This they did
every night during the entire winter.
and" ny Mr.. Read significantly, the
trainmen often had more in their dinner
pals than they could eat. "-Analnstan

with the scheme to pass an apportion-

resentation from his " county from
four to two. In reply to this we desire to
say that in the closing hours Of the session
everything was made subsidiary to the
passage Of the Mondell a-pportionment
bill, which, as the correspondent suggests,
took away two representatives from Con-
verse county. The governor > nominations

blame might attach to this aston. The re-
teution of Miller having thus
been brought about it was calcu-
lated that Haley OF Albany would
swing the solid Albany delegation
in favor Of the appOrtionment bill. The
scheme failed for two reasons: First, be-
cause the senate discovered, or believed it
discovered, that the governor WASH anx-

therefore confirmed him. and second. be-
cause the Albany county delegation caught
