Calls Sleepy Guests.

A well-known politician has invented
new system Of calling sleepy guests
that works like charm. It's very sim
plicity is its supreme attraction.
The other night a newspaper man
went to his house, and, wishing to be
called at an early hour, received a
promise from his host that he should
be out of bed at the hour he named.
Satisfied that everything would be Sc
rene, the scribe retired and slept the
sleep Of the just man made perfect.
This childlike slumber lasted until an
early hour in the morning, when the
newspaper man was disturbed by o
lively tattoo upon the door.
"Well?" he demanded sharply.
I've got an important message for
you" said voice.
Yawning until he sprained his face,
the scribe jumped out, toddled across
the floor and opened the door. The
servant handed in note and promptly
departed. The newspaper man opened
the envelope and found therein slip
Of paper bearing the following:
"Why in the world don't you get
up?"

WAS DANTE A LuNArlc2
Prof. Lombroso Thinks Ho was Subject
TO EpuSptIc Attacks.

erot' Lombrogo Thinks Ho Was subject
TO EpnSptIO Attacks.
And now Prof, Lombroso has stirred
q hornets nest about his ears. They
are vigorous and indicative hornets,
for they havo boiling In their veins
the proud hot blood Of the Latin races,
quick 10 resent an insult that is d.
rected against themselves or against
any object Of their affection and es-
TEEN.
Lombroso says that Dante was mere
ly crank, lunatic, an epileptic,
whose visions arose not from an ar
dent and piercing imagination but
from a dlsordered brain.
II DANTE were indeed an epileptlc he
is only one Of many Of the master
minds Of the world similarly afflicted.
We need 90 no farther than Shakes
peare to find that julius Caesar had
the falling sickness" So, according
to excellent authority, had Napoleon
and Mahomet, And II Dante was
insane is 1t not general
idea that genius and insanity
are closely akin2 There is hard
ly any couplet in literature so
hackneyed as Dryden's-
Great wit is sure to madness near
allied
And thin partitions do their bounds
divide"
asked DR.. Cyrus Edison what he
thought of this theory. He agreed with
1t in substance, though he objected to
the phraseology. He thought that
Maudsley's dictum confused cause and
effect.
ION this subject" he said, II have
thought and written a good deal. The
overstlmulation Of the brain, brought
about by our high pressure civilization
Of today, Is a fruitful source Of ner-
vous disorder--of insomnia, neuralgia
and hysterlaA The development OF
brain and nerves goes on at The ex-
pense of the body. Especially is this
true Of children. Their bodies are
overtaxed In order to develop their
brains. The nourishment which
should be distributed over bodily and
mental organs alike is all diverted
to the brain.
Children become abnormally pre-.
cocious. They burn with an over
bright fire that soon consumes them
My advice has always been, build VI
the body first and foremost; let the
building Of the brain be a secondary
consideration. Then body and brair
will be developed on normal and healthy
lines. There may be less hectic
brilliancys less Of what we call genius
but there will more of the robust an(
dominating force which makes a mar
a power for good, an instrument Il
achieve solid happiness and substantial
progress both for himself and for hi
nelghbor."

Cease to Do EVIL.

Saloon keepers sometimes injure
their own evil cause, and help the
right, by unseemly Boosting, as wit
ness the following from the Murray
Ledger, of Kentucky:
Cali contracts for whisky advertise
ments in the Ledger have expired,
and from this date no whisky adver-
tisements shall appear in these col
umns at any price. If the saloon peo-
pie desire to expatiate on the merits
(?) of any peculiar brand Of their
damnation, they can look elsewhere
for a medium through which to extol
it's virtues The Ledger makes no
claim to sanctification, but when sa-
loon keeper tells us that Sc advertise
ment in the Ledger has sold for him
$1,000 worth of whisky, it make us
feel that we have been in small meas
ure responsible for the damage done,
and we promise to "sin no more"

Unnntnral Feellng.

Henry Ward Beecher once told an
audience in England that very early
one morning young fellow, VINO was
member of Plymouth church, came
to see him in very great distress Of
mind and soul. He had worked him
self down into perfect misery because
he had come to the conclusion that his
supposed conversion had been delu-
sion, and that he was still an entire
stranger to the experience Of the re-
generated life.
"And why?" asked the great
preacher.
Because I don't feel ready to die"
"Now, look here" said Beecher, 81
have just had my breakfast, and de-
clare to you l don't feel bit ready for
my dinner, but if you will return in
about four hours and sit down with
me at my table you will find with the
proper season there have come the aD-
propriate feelings"

A True Conception.

A minister once asked saloon
keeper if his conscience never troubled
him respecting his business. The man
said, Come inside, sir"
"It was the middle of the day." says
the Morning STAR "and there were none
of the usual customers about. My
friend walked in. The grog seller went
behind his own bar, and, leaning on
it, said:
Reverend sir, there are times when
1 stand behind this bar and look at the
men who fill this room; hear their
blasphemy and their lewd songs;
see their fighting and their awful mis-
conduct, and l often say to myself,
eff there is a picture Of hell on our
earth, it is in places like this.

Made His Own Coffin,

Four score years and ten have passed
since old George Marsh, of Stone
Mills, N. Y, was born into this world,
and the trials and troubles of ninety
winters have turned his hair to snow
and whitened his flowing beard AS
far back as the younger people of the
Mills can remember old George has
stood at his bench in his little shop
and tlnkered away, keeping his own
counsel and living from hand to mouth
by the sweat Of his brow. Long years
ago his good wife passed away and
now he passes his declining days at
the residence of his son-in-law, George
Wilder, who drives the Limerick stage.
A few days ago some children peeped
In at the door of Marsh's shop and
were surprised TO see him lying in a.
coffin. The old man was simply try
ing on his wooden overcoat. He had
made his coffin and he was endeavor-
Ing to ascertain whether or not the
box would fit. The coffin is of pine.
It is plain but substantially built and
Mr.. Marsh has made it to suit his own
fancy He has also made the rough
box, which is used to enclose the cof-
fin, and both are stored away in the
old mans shop. For half century
back old Marsh has made collins for
many people who lived around Stone
Mills. Now that the golden sunset of
his life is drawing near he knows that
his turn may come next and he has
built the box in which to put his clay

The Cry of tho Children.

Canon Farrar once had this to say
concerning the curse imposed by drink
on the children:
"Have we no pity for the poor, mis-
cradle children? Is there no voice
strong enough to plead like angels
trumpet-tongueds against the deep
damnation of their taking Off? OF
these children who, in the language
of Southey, are not so much born into
the world as damned into the world,
damned and predestined, as it were,
to live lives of disease and degrade
ton because of the drink in the midst
Of which they have the hereditary faint
in their veins. Must children, year
after year. in these our Christian lands
pass through the fire to this Moloch in
numbers infinitely greater than were
ever burned in the valley of Hinnom?"
