Eating Before Sleeping.

IL uSCO w Uc COllS1OcIcO pIcJu
cial to good health to partake of
food just before going to bed. But
many physicians now recommend
to their patients light meal before
retiring. On this subject DR.. w. T.
Cathell, in Md. Med. Jour, says:
Many persons, though not actu-
ally sick, keep below par in strength
and general tone, and I am of the
opinion that fasting during the long
interval between supper and break
fast, and especially the complete
emptiness of the stomach during
sleep, adds greatly to the amount
of emaciation, sleeplessness, and
general weakness we so often meet.
Physiology teaches that in the
body there is perpetual disinte-
grafton of tissue, sleeping or wax
ing; it is therefore logical to believe
that the supply Of nourishment
should be somewhat continuous,
especially in those who are below
par, if we would counteract their
emaciation and lowered degree of
vitality; and as bodily exercise is
suspended during sleep, with wear
and tear correspondingly dimin-
ished, while digestion, assimilation
and nutritive activity continue as
usual, the food furnished during
this period adds more than is de-
stroyed, and increased weight and
improved general vigor is the result.
All beings except man are gov
erned by natural instinct, and every
being with stomach, except man,
eats before sleep; and even the hu-
man infant, guided by the same
instinct, sucks frequently day and
night, and if it's stomach is empty
for any prolonged period, it cries
long and loud.
Digestion requires no interval of
rest, and if the amount Of food dur
ing the twenty-four hours is, in
quantity and quality, not beyond
the physiological limit, it makes no
hurttul difference to the stomach
how few or how short are the in
tervals between eating; but it does
ma ke vast difference in the weak
and emaciated ones welfare to have
a modicum of food in the stomach
during the time of sleep, that, in
stead of being consumed by bodily
action, it may during the interval
improve the lowered system. lam
fully satisfied that were the weakly,
the emaciated, and the sleepless to
nightly take a light lunch or meal
of simple, nutricious food before
going to bed for prolonged period,
nine in ten Of them would be there
by lifted into better standard of
health.
In my speciality (nose and throat)
| encounter cases that, in addition
to local and constitutional treat
ment, need an increase of nutritious
food; and I find that by directing
bowl of bread and milk, or mug
of beer and a few biscuits, or
saucer.of oatmeal and cream before
going to bed, for a month, a sur
prising increase in weight, strength
and general tone results. On the
contrary, persons who are too stout
or plethoric should follow an op-
posite course.

COLUMBIAN STAMPS.

New Series to be Issued TO Mark the
Discovery Of America.
The PostofFice Department has decided 60
issue what will be known az the Columbian
series Of postage stamps. TO oe furnished by
the American Bank Note Company Of New
York under a Contract just signed. The
denominations Of all OF the series have not
as yet been fully determined upon, but they
viii embrace all Of the present series and
probably some Others.
The new stamps will be OF the same height
as the present series but twics as long, the
increased size being thou ght necessary in
order properly to display the illustrations
These are intended to commemorate the dis
covery of America bv Columbus and
several OF the illustrations have already
been decided upon. These are the
Discovery OF America by Columbus
First Sight of Land;" ''Columbuss Fleet
at Sea" from Rsvista de Ia Nina; Lend
ing of Columbus" after the Van der Lyn
picture in the United States Capitol The
Santa Maria" Colunbus'S flagship, after
Alfred HarriSse: ''Coiumhu Asking Aid of
Queen Isabella." and Columbus Rsciting
the Story of His Discovery TO Ferdinand
aud Isabella on His Return From His First
Voyage" On of the denominations will
appear portrait of Columbus.
1t is expected that the entire series will be
put on sac January l, 1898, and du-ing the
succeeding year will entirely superssde the
present series. 1t is expected that the net
revenue TO the Government from the sale of
these stamps will be very large, and that
their sale to collectors will largely exceed
any previous issue. 1t is also believed that
this issue will greatly stimulate interest in
the exposition both abroad and at home.

A COALING STATION.
Tie United States Secures a Site at
Page Page, Samoa.

1Ee United states secures q Site at
Pago Pago, Samoa.
At last the United States is in position
to establish the long desired naval coaling
station at Samoa During the ugly COM
plications there growing out of TIE claim of
Germany to supremacy on the islands, and
after the destruction of the United States
feet by the hurricane, the old conc ession to
the United States OF the harbor of Pago
Pago was revived and Congress appropri-
ated 500. 90 for the establishment of coal
ing station at the place. The Navy Depart
ment immediately began preparations to
acquire the necessary land; but owing to
the great distance of Samoa from Washing
ton and the uncertain means Of communica
ton the negotiations advanced slowly sThey
have at last been practically completed, and
the United States has just acquired posses
sion Of all the land necessary for the purpose
of a coaling station. Through Consul-Gen-
eral SewaiI the United States has finally
become possessed of the lands for
the trining consideration OF 5000; so
there is a handsome balance of the orr inal
appropriation Remaining on hand. Some OF
this will be applied to the purchase of lands
adjoining the station proper and running
back upon the hills, in order that a suitable
retreat NAV be established during the I'M
healthy season for the garrison that may
eventually be quartered at the station. The
remaining FUNDS will be applied to the con-
structiOn OF a landing wharf, plans for which
have recently been completed, and probably
to the erection of coal shed and necessary
quarters for the Governments agents.

President Miller, of the National BARRIERS
Protective Association, is a busy man. Yes
terday he was seen at his office, and of the
new organization said:
ave are organizing lodges just as fast as
We can. Next week two large lodges will
be organized at Columbus and Altoona At
Altoona there may be two lodges formed,
as the journeymen and employers are priv
ileged to form separate associations. They
will both be under the jurisdiction of the
National Association.
"There are some other things about our
constitution which have never been made

Sunday work. We are against it, but have
not power enough yet to abolish the prac-

controlled in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Maryland. In Pennsylvania we have to
fight with Representative Fow, of Phila-
delphia, who is opposed to Sunday observ-
ance, and is working against u.s.
"We adopted the working card system
and the other regulations governing trade
unions. We guarantee our members en-
ployment There can be no strikes. If a
difficulty arises the matter is settled by
arbitration by committee from the ma
tional body. Its ruling is authority,
whether for or against. Another good
thing about our organization, we do not
draw any color lines, black and white are
admitted together

Police Officers Suggest Remedy for Late
Morning Hearings.
One morning last week Judge Gripp
failed to show up at the Central station
hearing in the morning. He doesn't miss
often, but occasionally he does. The last
time he telephoned to the station about
SIS A. NJ, and said he couldn't be there.
An effort was made to get Magistrate Nc
Kenna, but he was too busy. Finally
Judge Hrndman was reached, and he ar
rived at the station about 9:15 in rather
bad humor. In the meantime the officers
who had been up all night, and some of
them hadn't been in bed for two days, were
waiting patiently to have their cases dis
posed of so that they could go home The
men growled a good deal over the delay,
and said they were willing to do a decent
days work, but they did object to hanging
around for several hours in the morning
when they needed the sleep.
Some Of the officers suggested that in
order TO relieve the men as soon as possible
stenographer should be provided who
could take the sworn testimony of the po-
licemen in each case, and allow them to de-
part. The evidence could then be placed
before the tardy magistrate, and any addi-
tional information could be furnished by
the stenographer and the day men in charge
of the lookup. The hearings are held every
morning about s o'clock, but an earlier hour
would be preferable to the men who have
tramped beat all night.
