TO WORK THE BRAIN.
A Desire to Nap After Eating Denotes a
Unhealthy State.

ChhcdILLy
For the healthy the nap in the after
noon is not necessary, and the brain
will not demand it. If a man finds
himself mapping at that time either he
has eaten too much at his midday meal
OF his cerebral circulation is feeble.
1t is the universal habit of the pig
that is being fattened to sleep in his
sty after his midday meal. The work.
ing horse, on the other hand, which
gets nothing at midday but feed of
corn-a small but highly nutritious
meal-does not sleep at all after it, but
is fresh and ready for work in half an
hour.
One would like to persuade all liter.
airy workers to work in the day and
to sleep at night. They should never
go for more than eight hours a day.
Early rising would be good for most OF
them. A cup of coffee and piece of
toast at $3.50 o'clock might be followed
by an hours work from 7 to s. The
whole hour between and 9 should be
devoted to a thoroughly good break
fast and short walk. Work from
to II.
Half an hour should then be spent in
gentle sauntering in the fresh air, and
light lunch should follow-say a chor
and bread, with modicum oflight pud
ding. From 1 to 2 a pipe and saun
ter, and at 2 a cup of black coffee
From 2 to 4, work; at cup of after
noon tea, and rest until 5. From
to or $50, work, and at $3.50 the real
labors of the day should be over and
completed.
At seven good, well-cooked, appe-
tizing, slowly-eaten dinner, followed
byone cup of black coffee, but no tea.
At fifteen minutes to eleven a small
cup of cocoa and one or two pieces of
toast. At eleven bed and sleep to six
or half-past six The brain worker
should not work more than five days a
week in this fashion. He should have
two days of leisure in the week
The first of these should be devoted
to brisk and thoroughly fatiguing ex-
ercise in the open air, and the second
to lolling, lounging, little light read
ing, and the like. This is the kind o1
life which physiology would suggest
for the brain worker and in this
scheme of life" there is neither place
nor necessity for the afternoon nap

A lecture ought to be something
which all can unders tand, about some
thing which interests everybody. a
lecture doesn't begin to be old until it
has passed it's one-hundredth delivery
and some, think, have doubled, if not
quadrupled, that number. These old
lectures are a mans best, commonly
they improve by age, also. One learns
to make the most of their strong
points. and to carry off their weak
ones, to take out the really good things
which don't tell on an audience, and
put in the cheaper things that do. All
this degrades him, of course, but it i'm.

Another story Of negligence at the

from a most reliable source. 1t is stated
that none of the apartments in the asy-
lum are heated yet, although fires have
been kept up at most of the houses in
Topeka for nearly a week 1t is reported
that the boilers in the heating Easements
are out of order and nobody seems to
have had foresight enough to have Them
repaired. The weather has been chilly
enough to demand some heat, especially
for invalid and thin blooded patients.
Many of them cannot even walk or take
other exercise, and are compelled to sit
all day and shiver.

SIDE LIGHTS ON THE CITY HALL
A Curious Feature About City
Cement Purchases.
Cases Where Itemized Bills Are Not
Called For.
The Expenditure OF Money by Council
manic Committees for Stylish Turn
outs, Whom Street Car Rides
Hould BE Better.

One of the curious features in connec-
ton with the spending Of the public
money over in city hall is the manner
in which prices vary on cement. You
can get two or three prices on this com
modify by an examination of the de-
mands paid By the city.
For inatance, the water overaeer pays
at the rate OF $3.50 per barrel when he
buys cement, while the park commission
and the street superintendent pay only
So. per barrel, These are only sample
bricks. You can get plenty of variations
If you 60 through the demands, and
with due allowance for the fluctuations
in the cement market, it would seem
that by the exercice of common BUSH
ness judgment the heads of the different
city departments who are in the habit
OF buying cement could get together and
compare noteG ss to prices.
Perhaps it would be more to the point
If the councilman who ars expected to
scrutnize these bills would take up the
making proper provisions for buying
cement at the lowest figure paid by
some head of q city department.
various employees of the city is a work
that to large degree is performed in
psrfunctory manner by the city council
men, and it is high time that some
thing was done to put in effect the pro-
visions OF the city charter. The laws of
the municipality require that all &C.
counts shall be itemized, but an exam.
ination Of the demands shows that the
employees of the city engineers Office
enjoy immunity at least az to car fare.
A cursory examination OF these demands
shows that $67 95 was paid out for car
fare by the employees of the Office, and
this amount 10 turned in in lump sums
OF $40. 500, ETC., by employees without
any specification as to where and whom
the money was expended.
The city Of Los Angeles can save $25
or $50 per month, if not more, by the
exercise OF economy in the visitatioHs OF
the various committees and the board of
public works to different sections of the
city. AT the present time when visit
10 made, and they are made every week,
it requires turnouts with spanking teams
OF horses to carry the councilmen to the
various points to be visited. The board
OF public works weekly drives are estsb
liehed outing excursions at the present
time, and stylish turnouts cost money.
1t is we'll recognized fact that by the
liberality of the council in granting fran
chises for street railways, that it is now
possible to reach every section of the
municipality by electric, cable or mule
cars. In view of this fact. when the i'm
portsnt cares of state necessitate visit
by the board of public works to any
particular locality, it would be in keep
ing with true Jeffersonian simplicity and
the present depressed times that the
councilmen should forege the aristocrat-
ic pleasures of these weekly drives and
get down to the level of the plain, ordi-
nary taxpayers, and ride on the street
cars. They can charge the city for the
car fare.
