Ereeman's Temper.

never think of Mr.. Parker without at
the same time recalling Mr. Freeman,
the historian. They squabbled so hope
lessly over the churches which were Wis
tied during our archaeological excursions
in Somerset that for peace's sake il was
decided that on these occasions Free
man should take the inside of the churches
and that Parker should confine his re-
marks to the exterior part of the building.
Freeman almost invariably assembled the
pulpit, and Jherefrom made his observa-
tions on the architecture of the sacred edi-
fee, not sparing the names of those per
sons who in some cases had carried out
what he deemed IN injudicious scheme Of
restoration. There were those who objected
TO being denounced from the pulpit in this
arbitrary manner. But it were a pity If
scientific nicnics proved as monotonous as
the meetings 80 that mutual admiration
society, waisu bores all outsiders SO ex-
tinction; there are too many rather than
too few, smooth people H. the world.
Ssdhey saith once said OF Sir Henry
Holland that "he was all mucilage, he was
80 very bland rs never would have said
that OF Mr.. freeman, who, doubtless with
the Improvement of his fellow creatures in
view. had Il rare faculty for bullying the
ignorant: J..-e who naturally enjoy the

Going to Bed Hungry.

DIR. W. T. CathelI has entered a strong
protest against the Oh fashioned idea that
people should 90 to bed comparatively
hungry. He Is of the opinion that fasting
during the long Interval between supper
and breakfast, ana especially the com
plete emptiness of the stomach during
sleep, add greatly to the amount of ENACT
alton, sleeplessness and general weakness
so often met with. 1t is well known that
in the body there is perpetual disintegra-
ton of tissue, sleeping or waking; it is
therefore natural to believe that the sup
ply of nourishment should be somewhat
continuous, especially in those in whom
the vitality is lowered As bodily exer-
Else is suspended during sleep, with wear
and tear correspondingly diminished, while
digestion, assimilation and nutritive ac-
tivity continue as usual, the food fur
nished during this period adds more than
is destroyed, and increased weight and i'm
proved general vigor are the result. All
animals except man eat before sleep, and
there Il no reason why man shonld form
an exception to the rule.-Philade1phia
Press.
