The West aud the East.

Some interesting statements made by Owen Mister concerning the east and the west are quoted by LIr. Arthur Sted- man in, sketch of the young author.
 One thing l have noticed, !" said MT.
 Mister, regarding the east and the west. 1t can be expressed briefly. all though it will require explanation after ward. In saying that the head of the country seems to be in the east while the heart seems to be in the west. I may perhaps mean that the west seems cruder. although l never phrase it to myself Ill just that way, but in travel ing about there one is struck continual ly with the kindness of everybody and with their interest in all people who are in trouble. Their knowledge and good feeling also are not confined to their own part of the country and what IS going on there, whether it be pros perity or diversity, but their interest extends to the east. That is to say. it you go to Chicago or San Francisco, or wherever the eenters of population are, you will find that most peonle you talk with are familiar with things ill New York and the east, and are inter- ested to know what New York and oth- CT large eastern cities are doing, while, on the other hand, when you return from western regions to New York and Philadelphia, people in those cities seem very much less concerned with other parts Of the country and are more con narnad with thair own iYa,,od;off ,,,r
 roundings and life-almost, I should say, the least national. although far more civilized. New York Tribune.

DANGER IN EARLY RISING.
A Doctors Theory That the Habit Helps
 to Make People Insane.


 Dr. Selden H. Talcott, the medical superintendent of the Middletown State Insane asylum recently, started the the ory that nothing eondueed so much to insanity as early rising.
 In proof of his assertion Dr. Talcott calls attention to the relative frequency with which farmers, their wives, sons and daughters become insane. The cause of this has hitherto been thought to be their isolated lives, their hard work and perhaps the excessive use of pie and po- tatoes.
 On the other side, it has always seemed to Dr. Talcott and other eminent alienists that there must be some other deep seated cause of insanity among the farming classes than pie and potatoes Farmers have always pure, fresh air in abundance, which city folk seldom have !; they are less liable to mental and nerv- ous strain than city folk and also less effects of alcohol
 Dr. Talcott's view, after a careful consideration of the advantages and dis advantages Of farming life as predis- posing cause of insanity, is that it is the excessively early hours of rising which increase insanity ill the rural districts out of proportion to the urban and sub urban rate lie thinks growing chil- dren in particular suffer severely from the artificial cut off" which is applied so rigidly to their lives
 The report of the state commission in lunacy shows that during the year end ing Sept. 30. 1894, 570 farmers, gar deners and herdsmen were committed in New York state as lunatics. This is a larger number than in any other class except laborers, of whom there were GOT commitments.
 As against these large classes there were only 54 members of the profes- sional classes committed, including clergy, military and naval officers, art ists, authors, civil engineers and survey ors. There were only 40 men committed out of the large class of walters, cooks, servants, miners and seamen. The class of male teachers, students, housekeep- CTS and nurses gave only 23. New York Times.

THE DAILY NEWSPAPER
Its Development and It's Worth Excellent
 lY Set Forth.

AtS CStcAOpnIGnt anu LIS W OfIh EXcellguG.5
 ly Set Forth.
 Tho evolution of the daily press into more than a newspaper Is forced by public expectation and custom. It is to a majority of people, at least on this continent, the sole library 1t must satis- fy wider demand than that of the man who merely wants to know if stocks have risen since yesterday or whether Senegambia and Bolivia have gone to war overnight.
 Matthew Arnold said, with sus- picion of tears in his voice, that if he lived something like 50 years longer than he expected to, he would probably be the only man in Great Bfstain who would be found reading books. He took an extreme and rather pessimistie view. As matter of fact the press has been largely instrumental in encouraging the reading of good books, and while it en- crosses the attention of many millions of readers to itself the fact of the in creasing literary output of the country and the world refutes the notion that the public is losing its appetite for mat ters of enduring moment Thoreau, the apostle of high thought and individual ism, took no care of the changes that are recorded and forgotten every day because he lived apart from men and studied na- ture. He it was who cried 'sDo not read the times Read the eternities D But he lived in day when the press was small, of little influence and servile. In his own state it supported the demands of the shareholders, to his infinite disgust, and 1t was first and last a mere record of the day $ doings.
 But the press of this day is more than a record. It is mirror of the worlds thoughts and intentions, critic, a judge, a guide, friend. By many the news pages are glanced at, and attention is bestowed on the contents that exhibit deliberation, research and scholarship. There is as good writing and as pur- poseful and helpful writing in the daily papers today as there was in the maea- zines of the first half of our century be- fore. Moreover, it is writing to some purpose It is not for mere display of style, but to accomplish the betterment of governments, of society, of institu- tions and arts, to stimulate effort in right causes, to encourage industry, thrift, honor and content The condition Of the world in our century without the daily press is unthinkable Brooklyn Eagle.

The Rules of His Life.

Ex-Congressman John s. Wise of Vir- ginia tells me this story
 Immediately after the war promi- nent Republican, having in view an in- vestment ill Virginia, went to Madison Court House in that state with Frederick Douglass as travelling companion. Their business brought them in contact with a certain Colonel Dinwiddie, a Virginia gentleman of the old school. Mr. Wise's friend said:
 "Colonel Dinwiddie, allow me to in- troduce my friend, Mr. Frederick Doug lass You must have heard of him. ''
 The colonel put his hands behind him as Mir. Douglass stepped forward, and extended his.
 Douglass, said the Yirginian, "I am glad to see you. But you will ex- cuse me- 1 have made it rule of my life never to shake hands with niggers. ]"
 sOh, certainly" said Douglass "I am an ex-slave and know the preju- dices of the old slave owners.
 There was some further conversation, and then Douglass said to the courtly son of the Old Dominion:
 By the way, colonel, we are just going to take drink. Will you join us?9
 The old gentleman hesitated, cleared his throat and then replied:
 Well, Douglass, have made it an- other rule of my life never to refuse to take drink I don mind if do. ''- Chicago Times Herald

4 Story of E;aInarck.

The following anecdote is related of Prince Bismarck, and whether true or not is good enough to be repeated: While waiting in the emperor's antechamber one day the prince heard music coming from the imperial nursery. He there fore entered and found the young crown prince amusing himself at the piano while his younger brothers were danc- ing. The children at once seized Uncle Bismarck and insisted that he should take turn at the piano. Prince Bis marck complied, and in the midst of the fun the kaiser entered. He watched the scene for a moment and then said, "What, prince, are you already making my children dance to your tuner"

A thousand years hence all the stone buildings now standing ill Europe will have crumbled to dust, So perishable is the material of which they are construct ed that the process of decay is already evident in many famous buildings. Neither marble nor brownstone can withstand tho action Of the elements.

Chinese Idea of Fires In Winter.

Although in some parts of China the weather during winter is very cold, the Chinese think English fires very uncivi l. lized-so destructive to furniture and so apt to smoke. "Their way of getting warm is to add jacket over jacket and skirt over skirt, and when sitting quiet to embrace little charcoal burner hid den by the wide sleeves of the tunic. ]" Sometimes this unseen warm friend was forgotten during Mrs. Stewards class hours, and there was cry that some body was on fire All hands would then hasten to the rescuS, and the fire would be put cut amid much amusement. - Westminster Gazette.

Lighting the Yule Log.

A custom at one time prevalent in England and still observed i'll some of the northern districts of the old country is that of placing an immense log Of wood-sometimes the root of great tree-in the wide chimney place This log is often called the yule log, aud it was on Christmas eve that it was put on the wide hearth Around it would gath CT the entire family, and it's entrance was the occasion of great deal of cere- mony. There were music and rejoicing, while the one authorized to light it was obliged to have clean hands.
 It was always lighted with brand left over from the log of a previous year, which had been carefully preserved for the purpose. A poet sings of it in this way:
 With the last yeeres brand
 Light the new block, and
 For good success in his spending
 On your psaltries play,
 That sweet luck may
 Come while the log is attending
 The yule log was supposed to be protection against evil spirits, and it was considered bad omen if the fire went out before the evening was over The family and guests used to seat themselves i'll front of the brightly burn ing fire, and many story and merry jest went round the happy group.

Engineer Gray Not Worried.

In regard to City Attorney
Minors adverse opinion as to the
validity of his contract with the
city, Consulting Engineer Gray,
In conversing with LIGHT re-
porter today, said he thought
there would be no trouble about
it, and no litigation he was sure.
The city had accepted his services
thus far and had paid for
them and this showed that
the city would be fair with
him. He did not appear to be at
all concerned.
He had intended to go to Mexico
sitter leaving San Antonio, but is
undecided on account OF the ex-
treme heat he has encountered
in the south. When he left
Rhode Island an overcast
was comfortable mornings and
evenings, and also fires in CRATES
were not unwelcome.
He says there are a great many
Mckinley men in his section OF the
country, though it is very near
Reeds home. He is a Mckinley
man himself, and an admirer Of
Sherman also.
