LATE SUPPERS.
1t is Better to Eat Moderately Before Going
70 Rad

1t is Better to Eat Moderately Before Going
to Bed.
The old tradition that to eat
anything just before going to bed
is sure to produce Indigestion and
renders sleep impossible is now
happily exploded. 1t Is not good,
as a matter Of fact, to go to bed
with the stomach so loaded that
the undigested food will render
one restless, but something of
light, palatable nature in the
stomach is one OF the best aids
to quiettude and rest. Some
physicians have declared, indeed,
that a good deal OF the prevalent
insomnia is the result Of an uncon-
scious craving Of the stomach for
food in persons who have been un-
duly frightened by the opinion
that they must not eat before 60
ing to bed, or who have, like many
nervous women, been keeping
themselves in a state OF semi
starvation. Nothing is more
agreeable on retiring for the night
than to take bowl OF hot broth,
like oatmeal cruel or clam soup.
1t is a positive aid to nervous
people, and induces peaceful SUM
bers. This is especially the case
on cold winter nights when the
stomach Graves warmth as much
as any other part of the body.
Even a glass Of hot milk is CRATE
full to the palate on such occasions,
but light, well-cooked cruel
is better, and in our climate, dur
ing the cold months of winter,
should be the retiring food of every
woman who feels the need OF food
at night,-Canada Lancet.

Another Move on the Chess Table.

CoNsTANTINoPLE Jan. 29.-It is
believed here that a tacit entente
exists between Russia and Turkey
and that by its terms Russia
has engaged to support Turkey
in certain events such as the pass
ing OF the Dardanelles by a
British fleet. On the other hand
it is understood Turkey has agreed
to permit Russia to occupy and
pacify Armenia. The position OF
France in regard to the under
standing between Russia and
Turkey is mach discussed here
and it is thought in certain circles
the republic will be constrained to
separate herself from Russia, as
the latter policy Is held to be op'
posed to French interests.

FRISCO MAYOR PLEASED.
Thinks His Efforts to Beat Huntington's
Refunding Bill Will Garry.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29.-Mayor
Sutro, who is leading fight
against the efforts of G. p. Hunt
ington to secure the passage Of a
refunding bill by congress for the
Central Pacific railroad, is much
pleased with a letter which Hunt
ington yesterday caused to be
printed in the Louisville Courier
Journal. The mayor says the fact
that Huntington has seen fit to
attack him in print is proof that
the railway magnate is desperate
from a realization of the peril of
the refunding bill. Mayor Sutro
is flooding the members of con-
gress, cabinet officers, and Presi-
dent Cleveland with documents
which he says tend to show the
corrupt means used to secure the
passage by congress of measures
favorable to the Central and South
ern Pacific railways.

VENICE, THE AESTHETIC.
Prof. Sanford Styles 1t a Type of
Beauty.

The last of d series of lectures which
Prof Maria Sanford, of the state uni
VerS1ty, has been conducting before the
West Side university extension class
during the past two months, was de-
livered before a large audience at the
Humboldt high school last evening
The previous lectures having dealt
with Egyptian art, which, by reason of
its antiquity, was necessarily some
what crude, Prof Sanborn prefaced her
discourse last evening with the expla-
nation that in order to furnish the
class with material for a comparative
study she had chosen for the subject
of her last lecture Venetian Art -
which had reached the highest and
most ideal development. Venice count
ed among it's geniuses some of the
worlds greatest sculptors and artists
information concerning whom would be
of greater advantage in estimating the
progress and development of art in the
various ages. AS in her previous lect-
ureS, Prof. Sanford added very mate
rally to the interest of last evenings
discourse by means of Stereopticon
views of the different buildings, statues
and paintings of which she spoke.
The lecture centered to a great ex-
tent around the Ducal palace, where
the famous Council of Ten held it's
sessions and Issued it's mandates. AS
shown on the canvas, the palace, with
its beautiful adornmentS and spacious
courts, presented comprehensive
view Of the ingenuity and talent of
it's builders. Its STYLE" said Prof
Sanford, lis like Shakespeares dramas,
a law unto itself" Across the Grand
canal, corresponding to one of Ameri-
cas- fashionable thoroughfares, was
shown the prison to reach which it
was necessary to pass over the histor-
ical Bridge Of Sighs."
Different rooms of the great palace
were thrown on the canvas, including
the secret chamber in which the Coun-
Gil of Ten had held its sessions. All
were beautiful in appearance and hung
with the most costly paintings. Incl
dent to these Illustrations. the lecturer
went deeply into the Venetian his
dreaded council and the struggles
it's efforts to preserve its freedom and
independence. The Church of the
Frari, and of st. John and Paul, two
famous burial places, with their sculp-
tured tombs and elegant interiors, were
the subjects of very interesting eXpla-
nations, as were the Arsenal and the
Rialto. In concluding the lecture,
Prof Sanford stated that Venice had
accomplished ineStimable results in her
pursuit Of the fine arts, and stood at
the present time as the typical repre-
sentative Of all things aesthetic.
1t is proposed by those having in
hand the course of lectures just ter
minated to begin a second series in
the near future upon the subject of
Literature and the Poets"
