Nice.

There is a city called Nice (pro-
nounced Ncece) in France. Before
1860 it was in Italy, or rather in the
Kingdom Of Sardinia. for there wasn't
any Italy in the present acceptance
of the word. Nice is a city of nearly
$1,000 inhabitants. 1t was founded
by Greeks about :, 900 years ago. and
named Nik;pa, in honor of a victory
(nike) which they had won. 1t put
itself under the protection of the
Count of Savoy in 1888; in 1913 the
Count became King of Sardinia; in
1892 Nice was annexed to France: in
1914 it reverted to Sardinia, but in
1860, when Napoleon LII. and Victor
Emmanuel, King of Sardinia, settled
the accounts of the Italian wal of
1853, Nice was transferred again to
France. A more famous Nice is Nj
cada in Asia Minor, older than the
French city. 1t is in Bithynia, about
sixty miles southeast of Co~nstanti-
noplc. IL was a large city early in
the Christian era; and within its
walls were held two famous Ecu
mcnical, or General Councils of the
Christian Church-the First Ecumen-
ical. in 1926 A. d., where the Nicene
Greed was drawn up, and the Arians
condemned; and the Second Nicenc,
Or Seventh Ecumenical in ISL A. d.
1t devoted itself especially to sup
pressing those who did not believe in
images in the churches. Nice i'm
Bithynia is now a wretched Turkish
village, the greatness of whose an
cient size is shown by the vast extent
of the ruined walls. The Turkish
name is Isnik, derived from the Greek
els Nikaia.

A New Use for Snakes.

Benares, India, has long been
known as a sort OF paradise for beg
gars, many of whom are great rascals.
Several of these scoundrcls are said
to have adopted a new plan to extort
aims. They loiter about the Monkey
Temple wearing large cobras around
their nccks or carrying them in
baskets. When a band of pilgrims
draws near. the beggars surround
them. and unless money be given to
them voluntarily. they hold the
snakes close to the pious travellers
and thus terribly them until tho
frightened folk are only too glad to
hand the rogues money, or something
iuss as useful.

SLEEP IS GOOD MEDICINE

Inventor Edison Provcd.
There is nothing like sleep to store
up nervous energy and put flesh on
the bones. SAYS the Philadc ia
Press. In an article published line
years ago, and generally ascribed to
Oliver Wendell Holmes, it was
recommended that nervous women be
put to bed and compelled to STAY
there while they were fattened with
nutritious foods, just as u chicken is
fattened for market. With the ac-
quirement of fat and the filling up
Of the reservoirs of nervous strength
the liggety, 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.
Ono week he slept fourteen hours u
day and the next week twenty-five
hours. The result was a 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. Thc
hours for work have gradually grown
fewer. Factory operatives are no
longer compelled to hurry to their
work at 5 O'Clock III the morning and
work until I O'Clock in the evening.
Business and professional men 90 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 q
few weeks ago at Harvard University,
when commenting on the graduating
class: ga fine, noble-looking lot Of
young men. They are unlike our

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 ncrv-
ously." There is no better medicine
than good sleep and plenty of it, and
many a boy and man is crippled in
energy by an unwisc habit of getting
up too early in the morning. The

The Woman Preacher,

There seems to be no objection
whatever to women taking control of
Sunday schools, benevolent institu-
ti0ns, church fairs, festivals, and all.
other means of caring for the fiocks
and filing the ecclesiastical eX-
cheQuer but when it comes to women
in the pulpit there is trouble at once.
This is only another of the relics of
barbarism.
In old times If the church could
get hold of the women and little
children they felt pretty sure of their
ability to manage the rest of the hui
man family.
Half a century ago the woman doc
tor was scarcely recognized in reputa-
BILE circles and a woman lecturer was
a monstrosity. Contrasting that date
with the present and taking note of
the change in sentiment from one
decade to another it is scarcely too
much to expect that by another fifty
years we shall see IL most wonderful
revolution iii matters of this sort. 1t
is safe to predict that, before the end
of the first decade of the next CEN
fury, the woman preacher will be no
more of a novelty than the woman
doctor now is.
Woman is specially fitted for such
work, and even were she not so it
would be only the strictest kind of
justice to give her some of the honor
as we'll as most of the hard work of
the church. When once it dawns
fully upon the minds of the people of
this generation that there is no sex
in intellect or moral achievements,
the first and more difficult part of
this knotty problem will have been
solved.
By all means open the pulpit doors
to women as we'll as those of the Sum
day school room, the hospital, and
the executive committee.
Fretting.
There is one sin which seems to me
is everywhere and by everybody un-
derestimated, and quite too much
overlooked in valuation of character.
1t is the sin Of fretting; SO common
that unless it rises above ITS usual
monotone. we do not observe it.
Watch any ordinary coming together
OF people, and see how many minutes
1t will be before somebody frets-that
is, makes more or less complaining
statement of something or other,
which most probably every one in the
room, or in the car, or on the street
corner. it may be. knew before, and
which probably nobody can help.
Why say anything about TT: 1t is
cold, it is hot, it is wet, it is dry;
somebody has broken an appointment;
ill-cooked a meal; stupidity or bad
faith somewhere has resulted in dis
comfort. There are plenty of things
to fret about. It is simply astonish.
ing how much annoyance nay be
found in the course of every days
living, even at the simplest, If one
only keeps q sharp eye out on that
side OF things. Even Holy Writ says
we are prone to trouble as sparks to
fly upward. But even to the sparks
flying upward, in the BLACKLIST of
smoke, there is q blue sky above, and
the less time they waste ON the road
the sooner they will reach it. Fret.
ting is all time wasted on tho rold,-

AT the age OF 90 he came to America,
devoting himself for year or two after
his arrival TO educational efforts among
the poor. In 1856 he went to Kansas
with John Brown and threw himself into
the abolition fight until he was arrested
by order of Governor Geary. On his re-
lease he went to Canada, where a futile
movement was on foot among the abo-
litionists for the invasion of the southern
states. He was in Texas at the time of
the Harper's Ferry raid and was again
arrested and taken to Washington, mar
rowly escaping lynching on the way.
When the war broke out, Realf enlist
ed as private, and in 1866 was mustered
ont with the brevet rank of lieutenant
colonel. He received honorable mention
for gallantry at the battles of Chicka-
manga and Missionary Ridge and the
publicly expressed thanks of General
Stanley, his corps commander, for his
conduct in subsequent engagements.
After the war Realf made an unfor
tunate marriage, so distasteful that he
enlisted as private soldier in the reg
nlar army, then engaged III suppressing
Indian depredations in the west, hoping,
as he despairingly wrote, ''to get kind
ly bullet put through me-" He was dis
charged by order of the secretary of war
and given position in the internal rev.

He secured divorce from the woman
who had done SO much to make his life

by his first wife did much to mar his
happiness. In 1878 he was appointed to

and seeing uLwonted felicity dawning
upon him entered assiduously upon his
new duties, deyoting, as usual, his spare
hours to literature.
But the happiness he coveted was not
for him. While he was preparing for the
reception of his wife and child, who were
yet in the east, his Nemesis descended
upon him. His first wife had succeeded
in obtaining rehearing Of the divorce
