The Value of Short Mans,

If mistake not, Sir James Crichton
Browne, in the course of recent ad-
dress, remarked upon the curious elias
ITCHY of our brain as regards sleep. He
cited the cases of people who rarely slept
well or much and who nevertheless are
able to carry on intellectual work with
ease and ability. l suppose there is a
''habit" of brain in the matter of sleep
as in other respects, and while ordinarily
we demand fair quantum of absolute
rest some of us contrive as habit to
get along with a minimum of somnolent
repose. This subject was lately recalled
to mind when l happened to be dining
alone with well known surgeon in busy
practice.
My friend is a man who, like myself,
Journeys over the length and breadth of
the land. He had just returned from a
long and tedious journey, tired and fag-
ged. We sat down to dinner. Between
the courses he fell sound asleep, let us
say for three minutes-not more, GER
tainly. After each nap he woke up, ate
his quantum and went off again into
slumber. l said nothing, but watched
him closely. l observed that after each
awakening he grew brighter, the tired
look disappeared, and by the time din
ner was at an end Richard was himself
again. l joked him on his installments
of sleep. His reply was characteristic.
"Don't you know" said he. shat it
isn't long sleep which is needed to re-
fresh an active brain? Nerve tissue is re-
paired easily with very little sleep if you
| also take food.
"Of my own experience the remark
holds good, and it reveals very curious
and in some respects anomalous condi-
ton of the brain and its ways. London

Stole the Widows Money

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 26.-Vincent
Dogonwcinz, Russian laborer,
was arrested last night on charge
Of burglary. The complainant is
Mrs. S. Christian of "a George
street, who charged him with steal
ing $4,000 from her last spring.
Mr.. Christian is not a believer in
banks, so she buried her money,
$4,000 in gold and $4,000 in green
backs in her cellar. When she
missed her money she made a
search of the cellar and found a
tunnel leading to vacant clubhouse
standing in the rear Of house in
which the Russian lived at the
time Of the burglary. He has late
ly been purchasing valuable estate,
although he has never earned more
than an ordinary laborer's wages.
Circumstantial evidence is against
him also.

PUSH THE ROAD.
The Gulf Shore Needs Assistance to
Complete Construction.

Mr.. G. G. Braden, one of the commit.
tee on bonus for the construction of the
San Antonio an Gulf Shore railroad, has
issued the following call and presented it
TO the subscribers OF the San Antonio and
Gulf Shore railroad bonus this morning:
The Gulf Shore Railroad company, is
unable, from unexpected circumstances
and causes, to complete the construction
and equipment Of the road, in the time
stipulated In the notes and contracts,
which Is part of the terms and cOndi-
tionS upon which the bonus was given,
and each subscriber, at the expiration OF
the time, which is about the 18th day OF
Decem Der, 1894, has right to withdraw
his subscription. il he feels so disposed,
and disregards the main objects and con-
SiderationS involved, for which this bonus
was priD CT Oally raised.
The stipulation of a limited time was
m ainly embodied in the notes and con-
tracts, to insure the faithful beginning
and prosecution of the construction OF the
road, without unnecessary or willful de-
Law, and a lsO, to guarantee 10 the SubScrib-
ers a valuable return for what they gave,
aud TO further secure the fulillmeDt, on
the part of the railroad company, of the
principal conditions, upon which this
bonus is based. To withdraw the sub
scriptions because the com Dany failed to
meet one unImpOrtant condition, regard
less of unexpected difficulties it had to
contend with, from even most improbable
quarters, would be equivalent to a full
release of the company of all OF It's obliga-
tionS, which would mean little to the
com any. but would be an irreparable
loss to San Antonio
One of the first conditions was, to build.
the road from San Antonio out aud to Sc
cure the work to our laboring people, so
that the money paid for labor and neces-
Sary merchandise would be circulated
among our merchants and people. All of
building of the road is being pushed for
ward without any unnecessary delay on
the partof the company.
These benefits are of great value, but
only of a temporary nature, whereas, the
permanent location of the machine shops
and offices, the employment of the neceS-
Try labor therein, and the circula-
lion OF the money paid out monthly to
these employees, amongst our merchants
tonic forever. The withdrawal of the |
however. because the com |
Dany failed IN trivial and irrelevant con- |
litiOns, which it is safe to say, was not |
rom their own fault or neglect, will sure !
y lose to San Antonio those shops and |
Jffices and the attendant benefits that |
would accrue to our city and people from |
hem.
Captain Davis, the president of the |
Dad. declares, II the subscribers extend |
lin time until the first day Of February,
s95, he will complete the road as agreed,
With all other obligations remaining in
ull force, as the benefits remain the same |
md San Antonio and its citizens has lost |
:Othing, but has all to gain: no good rea-
on can be asserted why this extension
hOuld not be granted unanimously.

the shell, the unhappy-inmate
