EARLY RISING.

Proverbs are responsible fora great deal
of folly and none perhaps for more mis-
chief under the present conditions of town
life than those which incalculate early ris-
ing as virtue. When the great majority
lived in villages, and were engaged in the
have been conducive to health and wealth,
if not to wisdom, but even our early fore
fathers probably did no more than make a
virtue of necessity. 1t is said to be natu-
and enjoy the beauties of the sunrise; if
we ask why, we are treated to various
transcendental theories about the vivify-
ing influence of the sun, and are told to
take example by the birds of the air and
the beasts of the field, or so many of them
as are not nocturnal in their habits. But
as matter of fact physiology, so far as it
has anything to say on the subject at all,
is all against the early rising theory.
Physiological experiment appears to show
that a man does not work best and fastest
in the early mourning hours, but ON the
contrary about midday. The desire to
rise early, except in those trained from
youth to outdoor pursuits, commonly a
sign, not of strength of character and Wig
gor of body, but of advancing age. The
very old often sleep much, but they do not
sleep long. A long deep sleep, the sleep
of youth, requires for its production a
thoroughly elastic vascular system. The
stiffening vessels of age are not so COM
pletely nor so easily controlled by the vas
omotor nerves. Hence shorter sleeps
Thus paterfamilias who goes to bed at II
p. m, wants to get up at or a. M, and
looks upon his healthy son, who prefers
to lie till eight, as sluggard. When this
foolish Interpretation of proverb about
the health and wealth to be got from early
rising is combined with the still more
foolish adage which says of sleep: "Six
hours for man, seven for woman, and
eight for a fool" then we have vicious
system capable of working mischief to
young people of both sexes There is ten
dency, greatly encouraged in towns by the
spread of cycling, to curtail unduly the
hours of sleep. Parties of young men and
lads are to be met careering about the
streets at midnight. They would be far
better in bed They have probably to be
in their offices or shops by 8. a. m., or
even earlier, and when time is deducted
for supper, toilet, breakfast, and journey
to the place of business, it is evident that
the hours for sleep cannot exceed six, or
at most seven. These young men are no
doubt encouraged by the silly adage quot.
ed above. There is disposition in town
youths to overdo outdoor exercises; the
cycling club might spins are instances
in point. AS Nordau has said, with
great deal of truth, the town dweller of
these last decades of the nineteenth CEN
tury suffers from nervous fatigue, and is
so ill-advised as to make his very recrea-
tions sources, not of recuperation, but of
increased exhaustion. If our four-farth-
ers were early risers they went also early
to bed. 1t would be well for the rising
generation if it paid more heed to this
part of the proverb

Bishop Daniel and took his bones to Pra-
que, but his clergy refused to pray for his
soul till it appeared to one of them and
told him he had repented of his schism be-
fore death. Some according to Henry,
| tried to preserve the whole body by cook
ing and sailing it. "A certain man was
cooking his brother in Il cauldrOn, when Il
friend sent to borrow it for similar pur-
pose, but he replied that he could not have
it, for after cooking his brother he should
want to be cooked in it himself, which was
also done"
The disease seems to have been a very
malignant form of ague. There were no
eruptions or inflammations, though in some
of the fatal cases clark markings appear
ed between the shoulders" Those who
recovered were left with peculiar feble-
ness and pallor, and similar weakness
came upon the beast of burden, which were
no longer able to carry sufficient food to
the camp. Famine seemed likely to be
added to the pestilence, when, on August
9th, Frederick gave orders for the retreat;
he had lost 1000 men in four days. In the
passage of the Apprentices there died 1000
more, "slain by the hand of God" Multi
tudes were killed by the hostile guerilla
bands, for they had thrown away their
arms, either through feebleness or that
they might better carry sick comrades;
while the few remaining horses and mlues
were laden, not, as had been fonuly hoped,
with the spoil of Rome, but with the boil
ed skeletons of bishops and princes. The
Emperor himself was taken ill, but recov-
cred on being bled by the surgeons, by
whose advice all the survivors had their
heads shaved, for they thought that the
contagion might be carried in the hair
Finally, on September 12, band of pallid
and tottering scarecrows, the scanty rem
nant of the proudest army that had ever
marched against Rome, sheltered itself be-
hind the walls of the faithful city of Paw
ia, where they were refreshed with baths
and medical diet"

A SWEET REVENGE.

Haven't you got anything solid to
eat?" Said a traveller discontentelly
eyeing the profusion of pies and small
cakes on the counter of restaurant at one
of the way stations.
"Shall give you some beans?" said the
proprietor, with his most pursuasive
smile.
The traveller assented, and making
much"
Twenty five cents" was the bland
short work of them, asked "how reply.
"Whatr' cried the traveller. Twenty
five cents for spoonful of cold beans?"
The proprietor continuing firm in his
price, the man paid it, and departed.
But late that afternoon a telegram was
handed to the restaurant keeper, for
which he paid twenty-five cents; it ran
thus:
Don't you think your price little high
on beans. Traveller"

ANIMALS AND THE WEATHER.

If cat cat sneeze it is sign of rain.
The goat utters peculiar cry before
rain.
When the fox barks at night it will
storm.
If the dog eats grass in the morning it
will surely rain before night.
The wind will blow from the point the
cat faces when she washes her face, and
fair weather will follow.
1t is a sign of rain if the cat washes her
head behind the ear. Cats rub against an
object before storm
Sheep are said to ascend hills and scat
ter before clear weather, but if they bleat
and seek shelter it will snow

A WELL SAILED CALF.

A Georgia papers is responsible for the
following: A farmer near Hilton hired
very inexperienced boy to help him
about the place. One Morning he told
the lad to salt the calf in the pasture. The
boy took about quart of salt, and rubbed
it all over the calf, working it into the
hair. A gang of colts in the pature sent
ed the salt and got after the calf. They
licked the hair all off the calf's back and
tried to lick the hide off too. The farmer
tried to catch the calf to wash it, but the
creraturc thinking he wanted to lick too
kept out of the way. The boy and the
calf and the farmer are all very unhappy
The colts are the only ones that got any
fun out of it.

WHAT A SOLDIER DID.

\ TRUE INCIDENT OF THE WAR.
Twas at the battle of Resaca,
In Georgia'S fair domain,
And the gray and the blue were in deadly strife,
And the bul cts were falling like rain.
They were near deserted southern home,
Whence the poor people had fed in fear;
Forgetting the dear little tri- colored cat,
Which still TO its home fingered near.
But lonely and hungry and frig htered now,
1t uttered a ptifu cry:
In moment of silence it fell on the ear
OF the boys in blue near by.
And soldier brave, 18th pity heard
That plaintive, beseeching "mew.'
For a tender as well as a loyal heart
Beat under that coat OF blue.
With no thought of the danger or risk f life,
Of the terrible rain of shot,
The roar of the cannon and burst of shell.
He heard but needed not
But springing over the sheltering pile
or rails that hid him from view.
lie rescued the poor little trembling thing.
And back to his post he flew.
And when the noise of the hattie ceased,
The kitten went with them alway:
And many a weary hour she begued
With her antics and graceful play
Do you say twas an act OF little note
To rescue a worthless cat.
Yet the angels. think, looked dozen that day
On no manlier deed than that

VIOLETS.

O violets! sweet viOletS:
Why did God make you pure and sweet
Just to be crushed by passing feet"
Not all the scent of the clover
The golden bee skins over,
Nor the delicate breath of the rose
That by the window grows
Can in my heart compare
Unto thy perfume rare,
Thy purple glow,
Thy heart of snow,
o violets! sweet vi0lets!
o violets. sweet violets.
What is it in thy tender breath
That holds the memory until death:
Not all the winters gloom,
Nor spring fields all ablOom,
Nor autumns chilling blast,
When summer is long past,
Can thrill my heart or bring
The memories that cling.
Like touch of tears,
Through all the years,
To viOlets! sweet violets!

Nearly everybody needs good medicine.
The impurities which have accumulated
in the blood during the cold months must
be expelled, or when the mild days come,
and the effect of bracing air is lost, the
body is liable to be overcome by debility
success achieved by Hoods Sarsapailla,
and the many words of praise 1t has re-
ceived, make it worthy your confidence.
We ask you to give this medicine trial.
We are sure it will do you good. Read

When the name of Christ becomes
everything to a Christian, 1t will do
everything for him.
II anyone has right to always be
strong and of good courage, 1t is the
nan who knows that Christ has saved
him.
Whenever We know that God has sent
US. we may also know that he has gone
before us.
Great things may be done by the
weakest.
Our Christian life Is failure, II the
church to which We belong Is not made
stronger by our membership.
II We walk in the light as he is in
The light" We shall be made blessing
to somebody who sits in darkness.
No matter where he is, the man has
an easy place who loves to do God s
will.
No Christian Is strong who is not
happy. THE Joy of the Lord is the
strength Of the righteous. RAMS

When La volte Was Danced.

Southey, In his Commonplace
Book" II. 327, says Clifford, shows that
the waltz Of the present day is La Vote,
Of which our ancestors, two centuries
ago, became either tired or ashamed.
This dance was first introduced at the
court Of Henry II. ct Fontainebleau.
In 1856, by the Comte de Sault, and its
history is thus stated by Vincent Car
loix in the memoirs of his master,
Marechal de vieilleville: "He (the
Comte de SaulD had the principal
vogue in a ball royal for his fondness
for dancing and his good grace; so that
he introduced at court sort of dance
called La Wolfe de Provence which
had never been danced there, and
which has afterward had a great run
throughout the kingdom. 1t has also
been said that he invented it, for many
called it La Wolfe de Sault'; and this
name is suitable, both because Of the
etymology of the word and the char
acter of the dance. Car l'homme ct la
femme s'estant embrasse tous- -jours de
trois en- quatrc pas. tant que la dance
dure, ne font que tourner, virer, s'entre-
sou lever, ct bondir. ct est cette dance,
quand ellie est bien menee par person
1es expertes tres agreeable"

tesies OF his home, gravely conducting
him through the kitchen and dining
room to his particular corner In the
sitting room, snarling in remonstrance
at his mistress efforts to eject the in

~as heard in the kitchen scratching
On the sink, as is his won't when he
wants drink; but when a basin of
water was placed upon the floor for

brought forth the other dog. Pete
was not thirsty, but stood by wagging

The young king Of Spain saw his
first bull fight the other day. His
mother, who has horror of the bru-
tai sport. postponed the event as long
as possible; but even she was unable
to override the ancient court prece-
den: that prescribes attendance on
bull fights as part Of the education Of
a Christian monarch. The little chap
viewed the sport without betraying
any enthusiasm. and departed without
rewarding the successful matadOr, In
accordance with custom. And some
Spaniards, therefore, fear that he may
bring discredit on his order and race
by taking a stand against the national
sport when he grows to mans estate.

Burrell Bond, a negro and ex-siave,
but now a prosperous farmer. last
week carried 800 pounds of tea to
Memphis, which he had grown on his
place in the st. Francis basin, Arkan-
sas. Two years ago Bond bought the
seed in New Orleans and planted it.
The crop last year was good, but this
year the yield was splendid. The tea
was tested by local expert and pro-
bounced to be Of good grade. Bond
will engage extensively in tea culture
hext year. He has made arrange
ments with an educated negro to read
to him several papers on tea culture.
This is the first tea ever raised in the
state of Arkansas.
