The willy Press Agent.

Somebody suggests a crusade of the
critics against false quotation. He
has made a scrap-book containing
clippings of the critical articles from
the leading New York daily journals
on new plays produced there last
season. In parallel columns with these
excerpts he has placed the distortions
and fOrgeries that have appeared in
out-of-town advertisements, all cred.
tied with seeming sincerity to the
sources from which they were derived
very cro0kedly. If at all. Paragraphs
containing qualified praise are turned
into fiatterY. Sentences and phrases
which. as originally published were
strongly against the performance, are
altered and shortened until they com.
mend. The collector of evidence also
possesses a large number of circulars,
which were mailed to local managers
throughout the country. purporting
to give in full and exactly the criti-
cisms Of important New York Jour-
nails, in which, by process of gar.
bling and suppression. the entertain
ments in question appear to have OBJ
tanned the unqualified approval of the
Gotham press. Few are aware OF the
extent to which this manufacture of
bogus testimonials has been carried,
and it seems likely that examples
will be made Of the counterfeiters.

Poor Siam!

Siam seems to have dropped out OF
sight as question of public interest.
Indeed there was never any particu-
lar interest in the trials of this little
abode of Asiatic despotism. Slams
Importance was derived from its en-
tanGlement with England and France.
Now 1T would appear that those two
powers have compromised their diff
ferences, at the expense of the bone
OF contention. 1t will not be unpre-
cedented ii before long each should
enlarge its colonial area, and there
should be no Siam.
Without dwelling upon the ethics
OF such proceeding, it may as well
be frankly acknowledged that few
nations OF our own day have the
right to cast stone at the land grab
bers. Columbus, in the name OF Leon
and CASTLE, began land grabbing
four hundred years ago, and it has
been kept up pretty steadily ever
since. The American colonists were
land grabbers, with more or less con-
sideration for the claims Of the abor-
igines; France and England reached
out after India, and England got the
prize; Russia has appropriated the
most of Central Asia, and is reaching
for the rest; France has gathered in
Tonquin and AMMAN, and now wants
asclentific boundary, something which
England also wants after having ap-
proprlated to herself Burmah. Africa
and the islands of the sea have been
generally taken possession of. Siam
is simply a bone in the mouth of
France and England. Poor Siam,

SLEEP IS GOOD MEDICINE

Liberal indulgence Even Induces Flesh, -
Inventor Edison Proved.
There is nothing like sleep to store
up nervous energy and put flesh on
the bones. says the Philade MA
Press. In an article published line
years ago, and generally ascribed to
Oliver Wendell Holiness. 1t was
recommended that nervous women be
put to bed and compelled to STAY
there while they were fattened with
nutritious foods, just as q chicken is
fattened for market With the &C
quirement Of fat and the filling up
Of the reservoirs of nervous strength
the figgety, emotional, whimsical
woman will get up from her bed an
other being. Thomas A. Edison, the
electrician, proved by his own case
how flesh can be acquired by sleep
One week he slept fourteen hours a
day and the next week twenty-five
hours. The result was gain OF
seven pounds in weight A woman
Of only moderate physical strength
was asked how she managed to at
tend to the large business from which
she gained support, and the answer
was that she obtained it by sleeping
ten hours six days and spending the
whole OF the seventh day in bed.
There has been a visible advance in
health of the American people dur
ing the past twenty or thirty years.
Their stock of vitality has increased
and they live longer. And while
there are other reasons for this
change, the chief one is that people
sleep longer and rest more. The
hours for work have gradually grown
fewer. Factory operatives are no
longer compelled to hurry to their
work at S o'clock in the morning and
work until 7 o'clock in the evening.
Business and professional men 20 to
their cOunting-rOoms and offices an
hour or more later and leave as much
earlier in the afternoon. The result
is more time for sleep and better
health. But there is still more room
for improvement in this way. Walter
Besant, the English novelist said
few weeks ago at Harvard University,
when commenting on the graduating
class: IA fine, noble-]oOking lot of
young men. They are unlike our
English university students physic-
ally. think our young men, as a
rule, are bigger, heavier, stouter
men, while yours have more nervous
activity than ours. They are slightcr
and, perhaps taller, but they seem to
he more highly strung nervously."
That is the trouble with a majority
OF graduates. Notwithstanding the
growth of the athletic spirit in col
ieges, too many young men go out
into life too highly strung nerv-
Ously." There is no better medicine
than good sleep and plenty of it, and
many a boy and man is CT. ppled in
energy by an unwise habit OF getting
up too early in the morning The
American people would be happier,
there would be less crime committed
If people slept longer. 1t is time the
so-called sluggard had his rights aud

snooze to morning cocktail is esti-

To BE Utilized ~ . Summer Home for
Poor City Children.
Among the hills of Berkshire
County in western Massachusetts was
u picturesque village known as Cur
tisville. 1t was no: town, but a
village within the limits of Stock
bridge, and only two and half miles
from the center of that historic town.
Forty years ago there were about
1000 inhabitants in this village. A
church, hotel, stores, and many hand
some private residences gave an Ing
viting aspect to the village. The en-
vironment was very attractive.
Springs abounded, and the small
stream which flowed through the viii
lage turned the wheels OF two or
three large mills.
That such village should have
been deserted is one of the strange
facts OF modern times. Mining towns
have in some instances been aban-
dOned, either because the mines gave
out or were closed. But in this viii
lage among the hills Of Berkshire the
great mills closed one day, and there
after never was a wheel turned. The
Inhabitants, save a few farmers, de-
pended on the manufacturing in
dustry. They finally moved away, !,
and for once an abandoned village re-
NAMED, with empty churches, stores,
hotels and dwellings,. What could
be done with deserted village which
might never again be turned to manu-
featuring account?
FlThe New York Tribune, which has
gathered large sums of money every
year for its "fresh air fund.-" recently
gave some account of what had been
done to recover this village. A
wealthy and childless New York
lawyer had passed through that aban-
doned village many times during va
cation seasons, wondering what could
be done in the way Of rehabilitation.
He found that the right Of occupa-
tiOn could be turned over to him and
he could even buy the dwellings for a
nominal sum. The village would
make a capital place for the poor
children sent out from New York in
midsummer by means of the fresh-air
fund. The man, who had lost his
only daughter, would do something
In her name. The abandoned village
is to be rejuvenated and filed with
children for a part of the year. St.
Helen's home is to have dormitories,
swimming baths flower gardens, a
gymnasium, and everything that can
make boys and girls town attractive.
