Position and Sleep.

How many people are in the habit ct
troubling themselves about the exact
point Of the compass to which their
heads happen to be pointed when they
lay themselves down fer their nocturnal
rest? One might have gone On suppos-
ing, but for the irrepressible Sir Benja-
min Richardson, that it did not in the
least matter whether the head of ones
bedstead were turned north, south, east
or west. But Sir Benjamin is full OF
theories on the subject and now that he
has expounded them we are in posi-
ton to know that if we "turn our fac.
to the west,' like Daddy in the sen
timental ballad, we ought to get the
soundest sleep, because in that case "tIle
earth S motion will tend to send the
blood to the head
Here is a suggested cure for insomnia
which is at least worth trial, and in
future a compass should be al indis-
pensable article Of furniture in every
well regulated bedroom. It may sadly
disorganize not few bedchambers to
arrange the adoption Ct this westward
position, which may i'll some cases cause
almost as much trouble as the reverse
position has occasioned from time to
time in the ecclesiastical world But
Sir Benjamin Richardson has spoken,
and it only remains fer those who &C.
cept him as an oracle to point their bed
heads due west at all costs and without
delay. Letter. I.

The Monkeys Hatred OF the Tiger.

Fortunately shade was gained before
long, and a troop Of monkeys indicated
the way our game had taken. These Of
ten aid Il tiger hunter, and the royal
robber no doubt entertains sentiments
toward them on such occasions which are
worthy of himself. They do not fall in
to ecstasies, as at the sight Of leopard,
because intelligence teaches them that
in this case trees are safe situations.
Still they detest tigers, and as soon as a
monkey sees one he begins to ''swear. -
This expression is sanctioned by com
mon use in India, and it perfectly ex-
presses the apparent tenor CT their yocif-
erations Each little creature capers
with excitement and vents all the exc.
crations Of which it is capable. The
band accompany his steps with revil-:
ings, and when he looks up it seems as
if they would go out Of their senses.

Longer Life In the Country.

The loss of pure air, sunshine and
other ''free'' goods and its effect on the
physique Of city jewellers is not ade-
quatoly compensated by hygienic re-
forms Of tn life itself, while the in
creased number and completely Of SELL
Stations impose a greater strain upon the
nervous system. The nervous degenera-
ton which thus accrues may perhaps be
checked in time by further hygienic i'm
provement of the town and by a gradual
readjustment between the nervous sys-
tenn and it's changed environment. But
meantime grave physical injuries arise
directly from those very economic
changes which have raised the economic
condition Of the great mass Of the work
ers and have probably reduced the guam
tity Of purely economic poverty. When
we reflect that the physical injuries Of
town life, fsttested by rates Of mortality
and impaired muscular activity, fall
most heavily upon the poor, we shall
see grave reason to doubt whether the
modern conditions Of industrial and. So
cial life are generally favorable to the
physical vitality Of the low paid worker
or the '1csiduum,' that is to say,
whether he gets any net vital advantage
out of the higher rate OF real wages
which he obtains when he is working.
The conclusion applied by Mr.. Charles
Booth to the whole body Of workers
that Gin one way CT another effective
working life is ten years longer in the
country than il the town. has an inpor-
tant significance when we remember
that each decennial CENSUS shows a
growing proportion Of workers subject
to the conditions CT town life. Con

THE PLANET MARS.
Both Chemically and Physically I. "a Very
Like the Earth.

Both Chemically and Physically I. "a Very
Like the Earth.
Year after year when politics cease
from troubling there recurs the question
as to the existence Of intelligent, sen.
tient life on the planet Mars. The last
outcrop Of speculation grew from the
discovery by M. Javelle of luminous
projection on the southern edge of the
planet. The light was peculiar in sew
eral respects, and among other interpre-
tations it was suggested that the inhab-
itants of Mars were flashing messages
to the conjectured inhabitants Of the
sister planet Earth. No attempt at re-
ply was made. Indeed supposing our as
tronomer royal, with our best telescope,
transported to Mars, a red riot of fire
running athwart the whole of London
would scarce be visible to him. The
question remains unanswered, probably
unanswerable.
There is no doubt that Mars is very
like the earth. Its days and nights, it's
summers and winters differ only in
their relative lengths from ours. It has
land and oceans, continents and islands,
mountain ranges and inland SEAS It's
polar regions are covered with snow,
and it has an atmosphere and clouds,
warm sunshine and gentle rains. The
spectroscope, that subtle analyst Of the
most distant stars, gives us reason to
believe that the chemical elements IA
miliar to us here exist on Mars. The
planet, chemically and physically, is so
like the earth that, as protoplasm, the
only living material we know, came
into existence Oh the earth, there is no
great difficulty i'll supposing that it
came into existence Oh Mars. If reason
be able to guide us, we know that pro-
toplasm, at first amorphous and unin-
tegrated, has been guided on this earth
by natural forces into that marvellous
series of forms and integrations we call
the animal and vegetable Kingdoms.
Why, under the similar guiding forces
On Mars, should not protoplasn be the
root Of as fair g. branching tree Of living
beings and bear as fair fruit Of intel
Egcnt, sentient creatures? - London

son1o Arc Managed by Government and
Others By Individuals.
There is royal pawnshop in Berlin,
there are state pawnshops, ducal pawn
shops, county pawnshops, city or NUM- l
cipal pawnshops and private pawnshops.
The municipal and private pawnshops
may both exist i'll the same town. The
rate of interest was fixed by a law
passed in 1881 at not more than "a per
cent per annum on loans under 20
marks, and not over IL per cent on
larger sums.
In Berlin the pawnshop is q royal in
stitution, and is not allowed to make a
profit. Its surplus goes to charitable
purposes. At Hanau no interest is
charged on loans. up to marks if the
articles are redeemed within six days.
At Hof, in Baden, people are allowed to
raise money, giving as security the re-
ceipt of their wages two or three weeks
ahead.
ii At Wei1mar and Hanau anonymous
pawning is the rule No names are
asked and no address is given. Provision

At Bautzen raw wool is received in

at Detmold will not receive articles in
pawn from servants without the consent
Of their masters AT Altenberg and one
or two other places no one is allowed to
pawn articles Of more than 100 marks
value without the consent of the town

. Although private pawnbrokers exist
| alongside the municipal institutions, in
many towns the latter refuse to do bust
ness with the former Secondhand deal
ers and pawnbrokers are especially pro-
hibited from resorting to the municipak
pawnshop
A salutary regulation against dealing
with pawn tickets is frequently enforced.
The rate of interest fluctuates a great

small sums loaned for short periods
The average is about 10 per cent and or
