OF SLEEP
Men Who Claim That Five Hours Sleep is
Enough for Any Able Bodied Man.

Men Who Claim That Five Hours Sleep Is
Enough for Any Able Bodied Man.
Tho discussion aroused by Edison's
,heory that two hours sleep is enough
Tor any rational and healthy human
being continues vigorously. Opinion
Is not all with the inventor, for the
majority Of people insist that eight or
nine hours sleeps necessary to perfect
health, says the New York Sun. A
Few instances are recalled by persons
who have gone into the subject deeply
of men who have succeeded in getting
along very we'll with four hours sleep
out of the tw%enty-four and isolated
cases OF extraordinary periods of wake
fulness in cases Of danger and great
excitement are quoted. The walking
matches which were held at one time
In New York gradually resolved
themselves into the question of how
long a man could get along without
sleep, and in one instance q walker
went FIVE days with an average Of less
than three and n half hours sleep
cut Of each twenty fonr hours. Mr..
Edison's theory is that the practice of
sleeping eight or nine hours Is a relic
of barbarism, which became part of our
nature when there vas no artificial
light, and that when darkness came on
there was nothing else to do but te
sleep. Night editors, night watchmen,
night telegram operators and other
members of the numerous army of
lalorers who turn night into day sleep
fewer hours than other people. There
nre many thousands of men in this city
who go to bod ut Z o'clock in the morn
Ing after completing their nights work
who are awake and stirring at IL
o'clock. They fnd five hours sleep
enough. SO do the men who
have to go to market early, such as the
purchasing agents of the big
cafes, restaurants, clubs and grocery
firms. These men rise at $40 or
4 o'clock in the morning, although they
seldom go to bed before 1890. Oc-
casionally they take a nap in the after
noon for an hour, but that does not up
set Mr.. Edison's theory in any way.
Perhaps n moro notable instance is the
life followed by some of the owners,
trainers, stablemen and jockeys of the
big racing stables. While the horses
are nearly always taken out for q trial
80 oAS NaAAy VA IA l1Sl AlAA. IL
names of scores Of men could be given
who rise at 4:3o every morning during
the racing season, repair to the stables
and who never get to bed until near
the hour of midnight. Sailors sleep
four hours. then have an eight hours
watch, and so do the officers on the
ocean steamers. The second four
hours rest at the expiration of the first
eight hours on deck is often snent Inv
tho officers and men in reading, smoh-
ing and lounging about. Sometimes
they snatch an hours sleep or 80, but
seamen assert that fave hours sleep is
enough for any able bodied man.

When little Maud began to go to

ans. She was naughty in so reckless a
way that Hilda, her sister, two wears
older than she. became heartily ashamed
Of her. Maud occasionally talked aloud
In class; she made such absurd faces
that even the teacher was forced to
smile and she cherished so hearty a love
for recess that 1t wAs difficult to induce
her TO come in when the quarter hour
was over.
As she was a very little girl and quite
unused to rules or punishments no very
severe measures were taken with her.
But Hilda had at last borne all she
could.
Mamma" she said one day when she
came home, with tears in her eyes,
snayn't Maud give up going to school
TILL she knows how to behave betterp"
"But l hope she will learn by going"
said her mother. "We must have
patience, you know"
aBut, mamma, she does things that
are just awful and everybody knows she
Is my sister and / am SO ashamed!"
We'll, Hilda, I think we must keep
on doing u best and just help her to
be good"
"Oh. I'd do that" said Hilda, two
tears stealing down her cheeks. I'm
