SLEEP REFORM.
The Man Who Tried 1t and the Way Els
Scheme Worked.

Colonel Henry Watterson tells story
Of an old compositor whose life had
been given up to hard work and the fol
lowing Of eccentric ideas, one Of which
was that the human race slept too
much. he had several theories to adj
vance in support Of his idea. One Of
them was to cut down the usual num-
Der of sleeping hours by graduation and
finally arrive at a state where, by prac-
tice, one would he satisfied with much
smaller amount of sleep than one was
getting.
To show his confidence in his theory
he began to practice the new idea as
follows: He usually slept nine hours
He explained that he WOULD cut this
down to 81 hours for each week that
passed until he had reduced his number
Of sleeping hours to two, which, he
claimed, was all that was needed by
any one.
The time went by, and the old fellow
had kept to his rule laid down and
finally reached the two hour time.
He went along for several weeks
sleeping but two hours daily, devoting
the time gained in reading and advo-
eating his idea. While there was mo-
ticeable decrease in his weight, he
seemed to stand it very we'll.
Then he began to talk Of further re-
ducing the time, and when enthusiastic
talked Of the possibility Of one doing
without sleep entirely.
He set type and was an old hand on
the paper. One morning about three
weeks after he had reached his low
sleeping mark the composition at the
case next to his noticed the old man
had dropped his head upon his arms,
that were folded over the case. 1t was
near quitting time. All the forms were
up, and the old chap was not disturbed.
He had gone to sleep. The Office was
soon deserted, with the exception Of the
janitor and the sleeper. The janitor
was instructed not to bother him.
The next day when the first men ar
rived he was still sleeping as they had
left him and snoring SO hard that he
Jared the type in the case on which he
rested.
Some one told his wife where he was,
and she concluded to let him sleep.
He slept on in that position for 30
hours Then they carried him to a bed
at home, still sleeping. He slept for 80
hours, and when he woke up he had for
gotten how to set type and had to learn
to read again, although his memory was
good in other respects. Exchange.

The Russian godovoy (policeman) is
usually very small policeman indeed.
He makes up in department. anddignity
what he lacks in size. His countenance
bears evidence Of unbending severity
he is never seen to smile; he is minute,
but majestic dirty, but dignifed.
His dress is long HAITIAN, which the
ignorant would unhesitatingly pro-
nounce to be dressing gown. A sword
ornaments the left side, while his legs
are incased in huge Wellington boots.
On his head he wears a small military
cap.
The policeman lives in his own little
house, about the size Of moderately
large dog kennel, one Of which is plant
ed at the corner of each principal thor

GENERAL wArLAcE's BRoNzE KICK.

General Lew Wallace, the gifted
manufacturer Of "Ben llur" has stirred
up mighty shindy in Indiana by de
claring that the female figure typify-
ing the HJosier state on the top Of the
famous soldiers monument at Indian
apolis must come down and be sup
planted b. the figure Of an infantry
man.
General Wallace's objection to In
diana" is not founded upon the familiar
ground OF insufficient draperies The
bronze lady ia this ease is sufficiently
swathed The Crawfordsville author
objects to her on much more seriour
grounds.
He says the woman on the monu-
ment suggests nothing but the alto
gether reprehensible female persons
who used TO hang around the army
camps Moreover, he says something
about the way in which "Indiana's"
bronze robes fall about her limbs and
certain expression OF her counte-
nance suggests a cancan dancer. In
deed. the doughty author pitches into
the statue SO vigorously that one can
| fancy the bronze ladys cheeks fusing
in the heat Of her indignant bushes.
II would be interesting 10 know how
much of Gen. Wallace's criticism is
really inspired by objections TO "Indi
ana" and how much by secret affection
for the infantryman-tha figure we
all know so well, and its dropping
mustache, its uniform and aecounter-
ments in condition Of band-boS neat
ness and its musket at parade rest
There is a certain order OF taste to
which the infantryman inevitably and
irresistibly appeals. 1t is the taste OF
which would grieve because St Gau'
dens Lincoln is not wrapped in a toga
and crowned " ith laurel wreath.

SILVER AND MORALITY.

Many gold bug papers are making
fun OF proposition recently made by
Senator Stewart that the destruction
of silver coinage is reducing the mum
Der Of marriages There is nothing
funny about IT, As far as we have
been able to observe prudent persons
do not marry, as rule, uuless they
have some prospect for self-support;
aud the proportion of marriages is
therefore, a pretty fair guide to the f.
nancial condition OF the people and
the general average of comfort among
the masses.
Gold monometallism involves strin-
gency, depression and the grindstone
OF hopeless and poorly requited labor
for the worlsingman, the farmer and
the tradesman
Free silver coinage, on the other
hand, by assuring a sufficient supply
OF money for all the needs of industry,
and by making the American people
independent Of British gold monopoly,
would foster the interests Of labor,
promote the general welfare, encour-
age matrimony and prevent the
growth of immortality inevitably at
tendant upon decrease in the number
Of marriages. Free silver is, there
fore, not merely a financial and
economic, c hut also moral issue.

OPENING OF The INTERNATIONAL
CONVENTION At CHATTANOOGA.
THOUSANDS ARE PRESENT.
Representatives There Prom Every state
and Territory in the United states
A Song Service Led by
Chorus of 900 Voices. starts
the Great Gathering on
Its work.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, June 2S.-The
second international convention of the
Epworth league opened yesterday. All
of the bishops of the Methodist church
are here except Bishop Vincent, who
will not be able to attend. Twenty
five special trains have already ar
rived with delegates from every state
and territory In the United States, and
5000 visitors are on the ground.
Five thousand more are on the way
and special excursions planned from
adjoining states will swell the mum Der
of visitors to at least $4,000. Among
the most notable visitors may be mem
toned Bishops Hendricks, IIargrove,
Galloway, o. =. Fitzgerald and Merrill,
DR.. Edwin Schell, secretary of the
leagues DIR. John Potts of Canada and
Dr. Steel chairman of the general
committee.
The conference formally opened at
$3.50 o'clock in the big tent
which has seating capacity of
10000, chair provisions for 200 and
reserved seats for 25O guests and seats
for 100 representatives of the press
The huge tent was crowded. A song
service lead by chorus of ! 900 voices,
started the great convention to work.
The opening remarks were made by
j. A. Patten, representing the Chat
tanooga committee. Addresses of well
come were also delivered by Mayor
George w. Ochs and the Rev. j. T.
McPherrin. Fraternal responses were
given by Bishop +. II. Hendricks of
Kansas City, representing the Meth
odist Episcopal church, South, Bishop
5. NJ. Merrill of Chicago for the North
ern Methodist Episcopals, and the Rev.
DR. John Potts of Canada for the
Canadian delegates DIR. Steele, chair
man of the general committee, then
took charge
The most significant feature of the
conference is the absence of sectional
and dehominational feeling and the
spirit of unity text prevails. Many OF
the most noted visitors are unhesita-
tingly in favor of wiping out the lines
that separate the Southern ard North
ern divisions of the Methodist Episco-
pal church This will probably not be
discussed in the conference, but il is
frequently made the topic of conversa-
tion in fraternal gatherings.

The Logan county normal which
closed last evening was pre-eminently
the most successful in point Of attend
ance, discipline and benefits derived
by teachers, Of any held in the terri
tory. The enrolment reached $50
persons and the deepest interest was
manifested by the teachers in the
work mapped out far them by the fac
ulty. To County superintendent Bos-
worth much credit is due for the sue
cess Of the normal She discharged
her duties faithfully and by keen fore
sight and discernment managed to EN-
ploy an excellent corps OF teachers,
who were agreeable to the pupils.
Prof Buchanan and Prof Baxter
are also worthy Of commendation
for efficient services rendered, The
normal was under the direct supervis.
ion of Prof buchanan, who has given
the better portion of his life to edu
cational work, aud the teachers protited
immeasurably by his kindly advice.
The series of lectures inaugurated by
Prof. buchanan proved a happy fea-
ture OF the institute and were enjoyed
not only by teachers but by citizens as
well The happy termination of the
normal augurs we'll for the county
and territory, and shows that our edu-
cational interests are keeping pace
with our commercial progress.
