The Night For Sleep.

Man, in common with most of the
animal creation, has accepted the plain
suggestion of nature that the approach
of night should imply cessation of eff
fort. If he ignores this principle, his
work is done against inherited habit
and so far with additional fatigue 1t
follows, too, that he must use artificial
light and sustain its combustion at the
cost Of his own atmosphere. Naturally,
therefore, when he does rest, his relief
is not proportioned to his weariness.
AS III many cases, however, sensation
is not here the most reliable guide to
judicious practice. Established custom
affords a far truer indication of the
method most compatible with healthy
existence. The case of the overworked
and the invalid lends but deceptive
color to the argument of the daylight
sleeper. In them excessive waste of It's
sue must be made good, and sleep, al
ways too scanty, is at any time useful
for this purpose.
For the healthy majority, however,
the old custom of early rest and early
waking is certain to prove in future, as
returns of longevity and common expert
ence alike show that it has proved in the
past, most conducive to health and active
life-London Lancet.

Charity at a PawnshOp.

A man who had been to his uncle's
said: mo one can claim that charity
is not widely distributed in this city
after seeing the contribution boxes that
are hung up in conspicuous places in
the smaller of the pawnbrokers' shops
The particular relative to whom 1 spoke
of it told me that the little boxes We're
put up every year about the beginning
of the autumn and generally were for
the benefit of some Hebrew charity.
''They are taken down just before the
holidays, and he said that for the past
10 years the one in his shop had aver
aged between $12 and $15, mostly in 5
and 10 cent pieces, although once the
agent had found a So piece in it. 'One
doesn't look for much charity among
persons who have to pawn their goods, ,
he said, but I've seen the very poorest
class of men and women look at the box
with interest and then drop something
into it. New York Mail and Ex-

Coal Cutting Machinery.

British miners are just now disturbed
by the rumored intention of the Coal
masters association to introduce coal
cutting machinery on large scale The
men regard the scheme with great sus-
picion, fearing its effects will be to re-
duce wages and decrease the number Of
men employed. They also prefer to use
their beloved pick, as their forefathers
used it, and work in the way they are
accustomed to, even though it be, as re-
formers say, a constrained and unnatural
method. Inventors say that the British
coalmasters as well as the colliers are
difficult to convert in this matter. Coal
cutting machines are being sent to all
parts Of the world, and the foreign de-
mand exceeds the ability to supply it,
but very few are in use in this country,
although they reduce the cost Of getting
coal from l to 3 shillings ton COM
pared with the hand pick The latest
machines combine compressed air and
electrical principles, and each cuts one
yard per minute in medium hard coal

Trees Five Thousand Years Old.

The oldest as we'll as the most inter
esting botanical monuments now grow
ing upon the earth are the baobab OF
Sour gourd trees of Africa. This remark
able tree has short branching trunk
which seldom attains height Of over
70 feet, while its diameter is often as
great as so or 100 feet. Adanson, the
naturalist who gave the genus its botan-
ical name, calculating from scientific
data, says that the age of some of the
oldest of these trees is little if any
short of 8, 900 years. The hollow trunks
of these forest giants, which are often
of capacity sufficient to furnish room,
for 40 or 80 bodies, are used as tombs
by the native Africans, who suspend tn
remains of their departed friends and
relatives on hooks fastened upon the in
terror of such trees for that purpose. -

THEY SWORE OFF.
When He Resumed His Little Vice, She
Took Up With Her Own.

a prominent young man of this city
has been an inveterate cigarette smoker
for several years past, and he indulged
in the habit TO such an extent that it
was injuring his health. He has girl
of whom he thinks all the world, and
it's a case of vice versa This young
lady has very good complexion, but
has an inordinate love for the use of
powder, which habit the young man de-
tests as heartily as she does his cigarette
habit. They finally agreed that each
would swear off, the one from using
powder and the other from smoking
cigarettes.
1t was hard work for the young man,
but every time he hungered for a wad
of nicotine his mind pictured the form
of his fair one parading down street
with her face looking like a pan of
dough, and he desisted. This went on
for several weeks, and each was remark
ing how much better the other was
looking, but the old craving for the cof-
fin nail came upon the young man once
more, and one day last week he broke
over. He thought no one would ever
find it out, but he was seen, the news
was carried to the girl, and she pre-
pared to get even.
They were to go to see certain popu-
lar comedian the last night he was here
and the young man called with cab
The young lady was at the door, her
face closely muff1ed, and in her hand
the bouquet that cost him So. Arrived
at the opera house, they were entering
the door when the young man turned
to speak to the fair one by his side. Oh,
that face! She had smeared it with
powder until it had been necessary to
cut eyeholes 1t was frightful. He
stopped. care you going in looking like
that?"
"Just as you say" was the response
''Well, l say no. I'm not travelling
with freaks now. Well go back home. "
And they did. 1t cost him $40, there
were two vacant seats at the opera
house, but the young man has not
smoked any cigarettes since. Indian

SIGNALS FROM MOVING TRAINS.
An Automatic Electric System Which Has
Been Tested In Germany. (


The frequency of railway accidents
during last year would appear to have
acted as a stimulus TO inventors in the
field of railway signaling, for an unprec-
edented number of warning devices
have been patented within the last few
months. One Of these, which is regard
ed as specially worthy of attention, has
been successfully tested on some of the
military lines in Germany. The system
is automatic and is actuated by electric
ity. The circuits are so contrived that
two trains travelling ON the same metals,
whether In the same or opposite direc-
ton, are warned of each others position
by the ringing of a bell ON each locomo-
tive, while at the same time the two
drivers (engineers) are brought into tel
ephonic communication. The same thing
occurs if one of the trains be stationary,
SO that if there is any breakdown on the
line in front the driver receives notice. /
The breaking away of bar or cars
from the rear of train is also notified,
both to the driver and TO the station
which the train has last passed through,
anu lIl6 INSTANCES dG WHICH all CQ6S6
warnings are given and received can be
varied in such manner as to provide
either long or short blocks" accord
ing to the requirements of the traffic.
In fact, the system seems to have pro-
vided effectively against all ordinary
contingencies, and its employment should
greatly reduce the risks of railway trav-
el The German government experts
speak highly of the apparatus in their
official report.
Among other experiments train en-
tering station was warned of an OBJ
stacle on the line; two locomotives ap-
preaching each other on the same track
were warned; two trains proceeding in
the same direction, the second at great
er speed than the first, were enabled TO
give each other automatic notice of
their respective speed and position, and
a train which was entering station re-
Ceived warning that points were in a
wrong position. In every case notice
was given in ample time TO prevent dan
ger and to render collision impossible.

Herr Knopf of Berlin Ready to Meet AL

A smoking match was given recently

provided at the expense of the club and
should remain in plain view of the ref.
cree as long as they were competing fo1
the prize, no contestant being allowed
to take food, drink or medicine during
the match.
The prize was to be given to the con.
testant who smoked down to one inch
butts the largest number of cigars in
two hours. There were II entries

pause from start to finish, was declared
winner. He reduced 10 large cigars tc
