Proper Position for Sleep.

There are several theories of tho
proper position in sleep. The one
most commonly favored is that one
should sleep on the right side, as di.
gestion goes on in this position most
favorably. Other authorities say that
one should always lie on the back, but
there are excellent reasons why this
is not wise. The weight of the stomach
and its contents rests upon the spine,
which often affects the nerves. Some
severe cases of insomnia have been
cured by the habit of sleeping on the
face. This is easy to do and is the
most comfortable position if one dis
penses with the pillow. One young
man who had exhausted all the skill
of the doctors fell into the habit Of
lying on his face, with his. right arm
under his head, which was turned
to one side. By this change
natural rest soon came to him and he
Nntirely recovered. Chicago Herald.

RUNNINo-FOR BOYS.

Every American boy should learn t.
un. In Greece, In the days when men
md women took better care OF their
bodies than they ever have since. every
boy, and girl, too, was taught to run,
lust as the American child Is taught to
:ead. And as far as we can judge by
he statues they have left behind them,
here were very few hollow-chested,
;pindle legged boys among the Greeks.
rhe Persian boy was taught to speak
he truth, run, ride and shoot the bow.
The English boy is encouraged to run.
In fact, at some of the great English
public schools. boys Of thirteen and
fourteen years Of age, like Tom Brown
and East at Rugby, can cover six and
eight miles cross country in the great
-and-hound runs. Every boy Is
turned out twice i week, out of doors,
and made to run, and fill himself full of
pure fresh air and sunshine, and gain
more strength and life than any amount
of weight-pulling or dumb-bell WORK
In stuffy gymnasiums would give MIN.
See the reSult-the English boys, as
whole, are q stronger set than we
American boys. Every English school
boy is to some extent an athlete. And
that is what American boys should be.
Not because football, baseball and ten

On all his life long-that is why every
boy should be an athlete. But not
every boy can play football or baseball
He may not be heavy or strong enough;

FOR PRESIDENT
WILLIAM MCKINLEY, JR.,
OF OHIO.
THE EDMUNDS LAW.

The Court of Appeals will decide
in few days whether the Edmunds
law applies in the District of Co,
lumbia.
So far as the officers of the law
were concerned this law applied to
the District of Columbia as long as
colored people were arrested and
convicted, but as soon as Detective
Proctor caught a religious hypocrite
and a clerk in one of the depart
ments, white man, the presump-
ton was soon prevalent that the
law did not apply to the District of
Columbia and suspended farther
prosecutions and convictions until
the Court of Appeals settles a case
that is now being considered by
that court. The same methods
would be resorted to if the whip
ping post was in operation. The
moment white man was thrashed
the whole community would rise up
in arms and declare that it was bar
barous.
If the Court of Appeals should
sustain the constitutionality or the
legality Of the Edmunds law the
BEE would suggest that the first
arrest that should take place be in
Congress or the head of some of
the departments. When this is
done let the case be carried to the
Court Of Appeals on a writ of error
and the BEE is confident that there
will be no more Edmunds law.

ONE FOR JUDGE BRADLEY

The opinion of Justice Bradley
in the case of Major Armes read
like one of Caesars charges on the
enemy.
A man who is clothed with a lit
tie authority very often goes beyond
the limit.
General Schofield only satisfied
his personal pique when he ordered
the arrest of Major Armes. What
is the American government COM
ing to? Why can't man ask his
superior officer why he has been i'll
treated without being incarcerated:
This is all Major Armes is guilty
of if anything.
The arrest was unjust, arbitrary
unlawful and tyrannical.
If any one is to be court-martialed
it ought to be Gen. Schofeld.
