III misske not, Sir james Cuehton
Browne, in the course OF a recedt address,
remarked upon the curious elasticity OF
our brain as regards sleep, He cites the
cases of people who rarely slept well or
much and who nevertheless are able to
carry on iptellectusl work with ease and
ability | suppose there is a habit Of
brain in the matter Of slep ss IN o'her
respects, and while ordinarily we demand
a fair auautum of absolute EST some Of
ps ooptrive rs habit TO get along with a
minimum Of somDolent repose. TINS sub.
ject was lately recaIle to mind when !
htppened to be dining sloue with well
known surgeon in busy pr'clice.
NV friend is a man who, like myself,
iourpeys over the length and breadth Of
the land. He had Just returned from a
long sld tegious journey tired aud fag-
oed We sot down to dinner. Between
the courses he fell sound asleep, let Us
say for 3 minutes not more, certainty.
After each nap he woke mp, ate hls qusn'
tum and went off again into slumber !
said nothing, but watched him closely. !
observed that after each awakening be
grew brighter the tired look disappea ed
and by the time din oer was at an end
Richard was himst II egaih | ioked him
on his installments Of sleep, His reply
was characteristic.
Don't you know, said he, that it isn't
long sleep which is needed to refresh an
active brain? Nerve tissue is repaired
easily with very little sleep ifyon ol'o
take food,
OF my own experience the remark
holds good, and 1t reveals very cnfions
and 10 some respects anomalous condition
Of the brain and its ways.

rHe SEAL QUESTION AGAIN.
&c IL Claimed That the Parss Rules Hav
Resulted In Regular Slaughter.

&c In Claimed Thai the RnF1s Rules MAxs
Resulted In Regular slaaehteF.
The vory irst years trial of the Paris
restrictions seems to have resulted In an
appeal from the United States TO other
nations To stop pelagic scaling in Boring
sea altogether next year. In proof OF its
good faith our government, it Is report
cd, would suspend its own seal killing
entirely on the Prihilof islands at
much loss Of revenue, and perhaps OF
the risk Of having to indemnify the
lessees OF the islands.
The fact is that our friends, the Vic
toria s~ealers, overdid their business dur
ing the last season, and the new Paris
rules enabled them to overdo ii. They
began with q great outcry against the
rules, holding a meeting and intimating
that their occupation was gone. This,
however. was possibly intended for ef-
feet on the British parliament. But
when il had no effect they went to
work at the beginning of the season
with their customary energy, and the
result was that Of breaking all records
in their years catch. They took, &C
cording to the published statements,
about %, 900 skins. These represent
presumably q still larger number Of seals
slaughtered, though not quite so large
an excess as if firearms had been used.
Add the number taken by American
vessels, as well al by the Russian and
Japanese, and it will be seen that the
slaughter of the animals during the
year must have been enormous.
How large o proportion were secured
i'm Boring sea does not appear by the
statements thus far made public, but II
has been said that the Triumph. which
made the champion catch, surprising
in fact anything before known, obtained
more than two-thirds OF her seals with.
In the waters of Bering sea within
seven weeks, although those were NOT
open until Aug. /.
The result of the Investigations made
by Mr.. Hamlin Of the treasury depart
ment confirms the views entertained by
our own navy officers in the patrol feel
that the animals ere fast diminishing,
and that the Paris rules are not check
ing the elimination. The consent to
years halt In pelagic sealing by all ma
tions is perhaps the best remedy for ex,
isting evils. The next question is q u
how many nations will agree to thii
proposal Tt would be better IL the re
striction should apply to both sides O
the north Pacific, by the cooperation o
Russia and Japan, but England's nc
ceptance of the arrangement woult
alone justify our government in carry
ing il ut.-New York Sun.

MUST LEARN TO o
Those Women Who VIII Persise I'm DC
cupying the Reserved smokers"

Those Women who WIN PersisE I'm Oc-
cupying the Reserved 'ssmokers."
A few months ago the Philadelphia
street car companies began running
smoking Jars in response to a popular
demand for them. 1t has been found al
most impossible to keep women ont of
these cars, and, to make matters worse,
the smokers, unable to resist the claims
OF p~oliteness, have been cheerfully SUR
rendering their seats to the women.
Things have now got tosuch q pass that
the latter have become masters Of the
situation.
DAY by day. says an observer,
''the feminine travel upon the smoking
cars has increased. That man is lucky
who can now cling to the edges of the
car and fondly hope that he may smoke
In peace after the long journey 10 over
and he has reached the secluded pre-
cincts of his Office or home. The women
not only claim the smoking car u their
own, but they have begun to stare Geld
III at such men as now venture timidiy
into the cars which were prepared es-
pecially for them.
The question whether the men have q
right to smoke in a smoking a in the
presence of women has been settled by
the latter in the negative. and an Offend
or was actually elected from one of
these cars the other day by q ma ac-
companying an indignant woman What
makes the persistence of the women sin
gular is that the smoking III are much
less comfortable and attractive than
those provided for general use. The
Philadelphia newspapers are coura-
geously supporting the men in this emer-
gency and urging them to stand on their
rights. 'sThe women. : one newspaper

The Great Lawyers Income Wa Unusual

One of our correspondents has been 50
lucky as to fall in with a little leather
covered book, like those of bank deposit
ors, which contains Daniel Webster
autograph record of his legal receipts.
This chronicle fills 28 pages and extends
a little more than from 1888 to 1885 in
elusive. The first entry, dated Septem-
ber in the former year, is OF 800. and
the second of $40. for retaining ON tho
New Hampshire circuit. The first fee OF
81 900 was paid in May, 1884, by o Mr..
Badger. Services regarding Cilley'B will
commanded $500. The total amount Ton
the first year was footed up as $I8. lao,
with the remark, Sept 20, 1884, thus
done and concluded.
A similar summing up appears ut the
close of each other year. The second
total is SIS, 1S3. "a; the third IL SAL
793. The first entry of %, 900 was In
1895, March q; the first of $3, 600 Dec.
