Eating Before Sleeping.

1t used to be considered pref JUDICIAL to
good health to partake OF food Just be-
fore going TO bed. Bnt many physicians
nov recommend to their patients n light
meal before retiring. On this subject DR..
". 7. Cathell, in Nd. Med Jour-, says:
Many persons, though not actually
sick, keep below par in strength and
that fasting during the long interval
especially the complete emptiness of th
stomach during sleep, adds greately to
the amount OF emaciatiOn, sleeple ssness,
and general weakness we so often meet.
Physiology teaches that in the body
there is q perpetual disintegration of
tissue, sleeping or waking; it is therefore
logical to believe that the supply of nour-
lShmcnt should be somewhat continuous,
especially in those who are below par, if
we would cOnnteract their emaciatiOn

All beings except man are governed by
natural instinct, and every being with a
| stomach, except man, eats before sleep
and even the human infant, guided by
the same instinct, sucks frequently day
and night, and if its stomach is empty
for any prolonged period, it cries long
and loud.
Digestion requires no interval of rest
and if the amount of food during the
twenty-four hours is, in quantity an(
quality not beyond the physiological
limit, it makes no hurtful difference tC

BICYCLES IN POLICE WORK.

The advance of the bicycle was illus
trated in Washington recently by parade
of uniformed policemen mounted on those
wheels, which swept through streets and
wheeled around corners at rate of speed
unknown to the average municipal guar
dian. The police of Washington are well
supplied with bicycles, and the report is
that they are very well pleased with
them.
Attempts have been made recently to
introduce the bicycle as military mount,
and the reports have taken decidedly
favorable view of its success in that line.
The most notable experiment has been
that of using it in the bearing of dis
patches; and the run for that purpose
from Chicago to New York was con-
sidered demonstration of its high utility.
Yet it is evident that the usefulness of
the bicycle in war will be in direct ratio
with the smoothness of the roads; and
unfortunately, war, in this country es-
pecially, is very apt to locate its opera
tons where there are almost no roads at
all. A bearer of dispatches by bicycle in
the Cnickamauga campaign, the Wilder
ness or at Vicksburg would have thrown
away his machine after the first mile and
proceeded on foot, If he was anxious to
make time
But for police purposes the bicycle has
destinal utility. Most city streets are
practicable for bicycles and the we'll paved
ones allow as good or better time to be
made as by mounted officer. The bicy-
Gle requires no feeding, no saddling, and
its repairs are hardly as costly as the
grooming of a well-kept horse. A police
man with bicycle can cover beat in
perhaps one-quarter the time that he can
on foot An officer who has to run at full
speed to the point where he is needed ar
rives there exhausted by hisrun; but if he
could jump on bicycle he could get
there much more promptly and in better
condition.
. The idea has peculiar applicability to
Pittsburg. There are large sections of the
city where the police protection is not all
that it should be, simply because the beats
cover SO large an area that the officers can
not cover them properly. These are the
sections also where the streets are we'll
fitted for bicycling. If the officers there
were provided with wheels, their efficiency
would be multiplied by high factor. The
Department of Public Safety should give
its careful consideration to the bicycle as
an adjunct of the police force

Useless DELAY.

Congress wishes to adjourn, but the anti
option bill, the Chicago Worlds Fair ap-
preparation and the deficiency bill stand
as stumbling blocks IN its way. This is

ton as outlined in our special dispatches.

CONDITION OF MIR, FRICK,

Although still in danger, it is encourag-
ing to learn from the physicians that they
have hopes for the recovery of Mr. ii. C..
Frick. The courage and fortitude he has
shown in his extremity of danger and
suffering, and the manner in which his
injuries were received, arrest public at
tention and arouse the deepest public
sympathy.
1t viii be days before he can be expected
70 be declared safe, and during that time
anxious solicitude for his welfare will be
felt by everyone who is worthy of the
name Of an American citizen.
As will be seen by the press comments
reproduced elsewhere, no event since the
assassination of President Garfield by the
crank, Guiteau, has produced such uni
versal horror and execration as has fol-
lowed the fiendish assault of the Nihilist
wretch upon Mr.. Frick.

THE COST OF PRODUCTION.

That old question of labor cost in a
finished product is taken up by the New
York Times with a repetition of the same
error as that committed by the World the
other day, referred to in this column. The
Times exercises its intelligence q little
further than the World did-which
claimed that the entire cost of labor in a
ton of wire rods was 81 95-but it still
makes the same error in less degree.
Thus it quotes the summary of Mr..
Carroll D. Wright to show that the total
labor cost of ton of steel rails is S11 SO.
1t happens to be the case that Mr..
Wright's language pointed out that the
cost was ''direct labor cost" which we
take to mean the labor cost in
volved in the industries in the
direct line of iron production. Thus
Mr.. Wright's averages give the cost of ore
in ton of pig iron at 81 50, in which there
is large labor cost; but will anyone who
thinks a moment fail to see that there is a
similar labor cost in the 5Oc worth of
limestone, and $3 SO worth of coal
or coke required to make ton of pig iron;
or that there is an equal labor cost in
the cost of transporting all the materials
to the works? Mr.. Wright's statistics
bring out the fact that one of the great
factors in pig iron production has been
the improvement of blast furnaces by
which the average furnace has more than

HARRITYS IMPRESSION.

The interview with Chairman Harrity,
Of the National Democratic Committee,
published elsewhere, is interesting as CIV
ing the view of one who is putting on his
armor, which as the world knows is a
much less favorable time for summing up
the results of fight than when putting it
off. Mr.. Harrity is Impressed with the
prospect of Democratic success" Very
good. That is what Democratic Chair
men are there for. 1t has been understood
that Chairman Brice's retirement was
stimulated by the absence Of that impress
sion, and, of course, Mr.. Harrity is not 60
ing to do anything so incongruous as to
fail to be impressed after being elected
for that express purpose. Whether Mr..
Harrity can produce the same impression
on the country at large next November is
the question. One idea of the Chairman's
is at least calculated to raise doubts on
that point When a man claims it for the
credit of his party to start the campaign in
the heats of last week, the American peo-
pie will hardly find in him leader to
tie to.
