Living Almost Without sIeon.

Thomas A, Edison, who sleeps but
few hours himself, says that the man
Of the future may do without sleep
entirely There are some people who
almost justify him In thinking So A
Southern cavalry officer, recently in
New York, says; 81 was with Nor
gan on his raid into Ohio, and often
heard him say that he would give his
right arm for an hours rest. The
only sleep we had for two weeks was
what we got in our saddles, for the
Yankees were after US and we could
not sleep. Yet we got on well
enough.
Another Southerner, who was q
blockade runner during the war, re-
tains to this day the habit that he
then acquired of eating but one
square" meal daily and of doing al
most wholly without sleep, for he had
then to remain awake day and night
to watch his chances, He is now Cap
tain OF a steamer, and he has a Gu
rious practice Of sleeping an hour on
one day and three 10 six hours on the
next. He never wants more than
that, and in spite Of his light eating
ing and his light sleep he is as stout
and hearty a man, to all appearances,
as could be found on shipboard--New

HacterIn of the Mouth.

1t has long been known that
warmth and moisture favor the de
velopment and growth Of microbes.
The mouth furnishes these conditions
to peculiar degree,
All germs that float in the air are
liable to find alodgment in the mouth
and nose. Here they may remain,
as most of them are not harmful I'M
der any circumstances, they give no
indication of their presence; and even
when noXlous germs are thus lodged
In the mouth they may produce no
symptoms.
If swallowed into the stomach the
juices there contained may cause their
destruction and disqualification, II
for any reason their vitality Is not
thus DESTROYED, they may be absorbed
In the system. 1t is possible that
even then they may be destroyed or
excreted, and give rise to no disease
1t is after their entrance into the
system, however, that their presence
Is apt to be manifest.
The danger of their entering the
system, it should be made clear, is
increased when the mucous membrane
of the digestive tract is broken at
any point. When the skin or mucous
membrane Of any part of the body Is
broken, one Is perhaps considerably
more liable to absorb germs of all
sorts.
At a recent session Of the Academy
of Medicine Of Paris, NJ. Vallin, in
considering the treatment Of intiu-
enza, recommended as a preventive
measure of the greatest importance,
antiseptlc cleaning of the mouth,
nose and throat.
Many people now use, as part OF
their toilet, spraying atomizer con-
tanning some harmless "antlseptic"
solution. The practice is to be com
mended as clearly one, and in ad-
dition it has considerable germ
killing power.
Under some circumstances fire.
quent spraying of the throat and
nostrils with such an apparatus might
well be the means of preventing in
fection from disease like influenza
and diphtheria.
1t is unnecessary 10 say that brush
ing the teeth is an excellent mode of
rendering the mouth antiseptic, and
that as decayaing teeth furnish ex-
cellent lurking-places for germs, they
should be promptly attended to.
A physician gives it as his belief,
based upon repeated observations,
that solution of borax and salt in
water. used to lave the mouth and
tonsils will sometimes prevent chill
dren in house infected with diph-
liberia from contracting disease, -

A Piopeer New Mexican Publisher.

tSltNle1 wi
FERNANDEZ DE TAOS, Jan. 3.-We Amer
leans, with self satisfied complacency
born Of great achievements, are won't TO
think of the United Ststes as the source of
all good things in the New World, and
least of afi do we look to Mexico for an ex-
ample in learning or literature And yet
it is one of the odd incidents of American
history that the first printing press in the
western hemisphere was set up in our re-
publican neighbor on the south, then in
vassalage to an Old World kingdom under
the name of Nuevo Espagna. 1t is one of
the curious facts in the history of this
Union that the first newspaper published
In the great empire west of the Missouri
river was issued here In New Mexico. Over
in the forlorn little Protestant cemetery at
Taos, just o. few yards from the grave Of
Kit Carson, is the plain bit Of board set up
to mark the last resting place of the pio-
neer publisher.
Padre Martinez evidently was q man Of
unusual force Of character and enlighten-
ment, for he established his paper in 1887.
To fully comprehend the enterprise of this
Mexican priest one must consider the age
and the locality. The first American rail-
road was not yet decade old in the mar
velous era it opened. The advance senti-
nels of Saxon civilization had barely
reached the Mississippi river, and beyond
them toward the land of Montezuma was 8
desort practically unexplored. Taos was q
little hamlet nestled away among tho
Rocky mountains of northern New Mexico,
the inhabitants OF which spoke only Span
ish and know only OF el Gringo by occa-
sional contact With trappers aud hunters
like Kit Carson.
Santa Fe, the nearest town of conse-
quence, was seventy-fye miles away and
could only be reached by narrow trail
that crept over tedious mountains and
through wild canyons The press used by
the good padre was imported from Spain
and landed at Vera Cruz. From that port
to Taos, distance of 1900 miles or more
the cumbrous machine had TO be packed
on burros or hauled on the ancient wagons
with wheels made of solid blocks of wood,
each q section of a great log.
This paper Yves called El Crepuscrlo CIIhe
Dawn) Crepusculo has the popularity Of
meaning the tirne between darkness aud
daylight, and may therefore mean either
the dawn of morning or the twilight of
evening OF course there was no doubt as
to the sense in which Padre Martinez used
the word
This advanced priest also conducted an
academy in those curly years, and he printed
some of the books used in his school. He
was a power in the old province, but to-
ward the close Of his career he fell from
grace. His vows of celibacy sat lightly
upon him, and he was said to have three
families of children. This scandalous state
of affairs finally came to the ears Of the
church dignitaries, and he was excornnu-
nicated. He thersupon conducted an inde-
pendent church until his death He urged
his people to educate themselves, telling
them they would need greater powers to
successfully withstand the invasion of
American energy and intelligence
His body was buried in the dirt floor of
Che Catholic church, but afterward re-
moved to the Protestant cemetery.
