s,eep as n Habit.

Granted that it is better to be good sleeper than bad one, the question arises how far the individual can con trol his own fate in this respect. Prob ably great deal more than is general ly supposed; for although the natural capacity, constitution, and temperament play a considerable part, they are gen. orally capable of modification with care and attention. Sleep is a habit which can be cultivated or broken at will, within certain limits; good natural capacity may be either preserved or destroyed, bad one improved or made worse But looking to the facts of childhood, it may be doubted if any one begins life with a serious incapacity of sleep, At any rate it must be exceed ingly rare. Accidental troubles aside, children always sleep we'll, though lia- ble to be disturbed by terrifying dreams; and who ever saw a really sleepless schoolboy? The fact Is that the habit is encouraged in the young; they are made to keep regular hours and to devote sufficient time to rest. Thus the mysterious nervous mechan- ism which controls the process is kept in good order.
 The mischief begins later with the liberty of early adult life. the addiction to excessive study, the necessities of earning a living, the perpetual exhorta- ton to shake off dull sloth." The can

these the blue birds, the purple mar tin, the robin, the house wren and several swallows are most frequently and seriously disturbed, because their nesting places are naturally coveted by the sparrow, and many other birds are driven from the vicinity of human dwellings where they naturally congre- gate.
 And so forth and so on, The sparrow has not tried very hard to be respect able before this. But if what is now said of him is true he might as well give up and be thoroughly reckless. A bird that will not eat tussocked caterpillars is evidently no good.

LAW AND ORDER LEAG UE BTLL.
 The Connecticut Law and Order league had g. triumph in the house yes terday. The debate on the bill extend- ing it's powers and giving it some finan- cial support was a thorough and inter esting one.> Those who took part in it said what they thought and in some cases perhaps a little more. But the bill was finally passed by a. majority which was very encouraging to those who have fought for the bill. Now the contest will be transferred to the sen ate, and though there is talk that an effort is to be made to amend the bill to death there the effort will probably not succeed If it is made.

Parasols are coming in made of lace without any foundation of silk. It is necessary that the design should be ex- tremely fine, else all sorts of grotesque effects are produced by the shadows cast on the face. Of what use are such parasols? What a question: They are the very newest" the handle is as use- eul as ever, and after all 1t is much nicer to have para8l you can peep through than one you can't. Of course you will not want to sit out on the beach beside John with a parasol like that over you, but to sit there is not the only use for a parasol.
 Soon there will be tailor-made duck suits so constructed that the skirt un- folds into three separate straight pieces, and the bodice into a pair of de- tached and flattened out sleeves, front and back all without pleat or a fold This is great idea for summer, espec- ially as the new ducks are so stiff that to submit a dress of the usual shape to the tub would be quite impossible.

The people of the lake cities of Ohio are getting alarmed over the Chicago plan for building a drainage canal that will connect Lake Michigan with the Mississippi. The Toledo Produce Exchange is so greatly exercised that it has adopted a memorial expressive of the solicitude very generally enter tained by western commercial men, and, in fact, by all interests east and west, concerning the effect on the water level of Lake Michigan and indirectly upon lakes Huron and Erie, of the large body of water to be drawn from the former lake by means of the Chicago drainage canal. The exchange asks the secretary of war to appoint a commit ice of engineers to examine into the. matter, and suggests an investigation

 The double decked cape of a season or so ago is rarely seen, and now the prettiest garments are very simple, made of rich material and with fault less cut, but they show little elabora- ton in the way of combination of mate rials or of colors. Little satin capes are much favored. and the satin should be stiff enough to stand alone. Such capes set out prettily, coming to about the elbow. They are lined with contrast ing color, and they may be embelllshed freely with thread lace, but beware of the heavy sorts. The accompanying sketch presents short cape of black bengaline which Is banded by span gled net pulling and further garnlshed with a collar of white tulle lace sprin- kled with black spangles, Its front Is set off by bow of black and white

Now that the secret of making rubies in the laboratory by crystaIlizing red alunina has been solved, a problem in ethics and logic revives, namely, whether an artificial ruby is a ruby or not. A paste diamond is not diamond, but these rubies are not like that imita- tion; they are the real thing, except that they are made by man and not by Ma ture. The Literary Digest in comment ing on the problem as stated in the Eng fish journal, Natural Science, seeks an analogy in the fact that it has never been questioned that artificial ice is real ice. Yet the French law courts seem to have decided that ruby is not a ruby when it is made in the labora- tory.

SENATOR GEORGES IDEAS

E Carrolton. Miss, May e.-In an inter-
view on the money question. Senator
George said: THE present exhibition
Of sentiment in favor of free coinage
is rather disclosure than a growth.
The American people have never been
satisfied with the act of demonetiza-
ton Of silver in 1878. That act was a
snap Judgment taken against them by
a ftirtive and ingenious parliamentary
trick What has happened in the last
few months is not the rapid spread OF
free coinage sentiment, but general
and emphatic expression of disgust at
the delay I'm giving voice and legal
force to the wishes and sentiments of
the great mass of the American people,
and Of resentment at the attempts to
stifie that voice and to fasten on the
people gold recommendation.
81 think the republican leaders will
not declare for gold monometallism, or.
what is the same thing, against the
coinage of silver unless by information
al agreement. / think ii is doubtful
whether they will make any declara-
tion either way in unequivocal terms.
MI believe the democratic national
Convention will be forced by a FREEDOM
inant sentiment of the party to declare
squarely and unequivocally for indie
pendent free coinage by the United
States, without the cooperation OF
fother nations" .A

BUTTONS HARD LUCK.
Ne Wasn't Had Burglar Hut He Got I 8
fr Months just as Hard.

butte, May 9.--James A. Burton. wac
pleaded guilty yesterday to the charge
OF burglary in the second degree. was
up for sentence before Judge Speer this
morning. VIC so
j. A. Carter made a short and strong
plea for his client. and said that the
property taken had been promptly re-
turned TO the owner, and that IL was of
little value, and the crime was COM
mltfcd when the defendant was drunk.
8u1kon also had few words to say to
that IL was his first offense.
Snd ne hoped the court would be easy
10 him and give him an early oppor-
tunity to reform. ~
The court said that he was a pretty
good Judge of men, and that the ac-
cused did not look like a bad man, and
AZ seemed TO him to be a case for leni-
ency, and he would not be hard with
him. He then sentenced Burton to Is
months at hard labor.
The case of Charles Maule against
Chkrles Schultz was called for trial.
but as the defendants counsel was en-
gagged in the Blume trial in depart
ment 1, the cause was continued 70
