SLEEP.

Few people are aware that sleep may
weaken instead of invigorate. If man
sleeps longer than is necessary to repair
tissues ana rest his mind he Injuries him
self and lays the foundation for various
diseases. The tendency to sleep shown by
children and the uneducated when not &C.
cupied is probably because their intellects
are so poor they take no interest in their
own thoughts or IDEAS All methods of
putting children to sleep by rocking or
swinging ought to be discouraged, for ex-
periments have shown that swinging for
quarter of an hour produces in ADULTS a
perceptible lowering of the temperature.
During the first weeks of life an infant
should be awake two hours a day at least;
between / and years, the waking hours
should number six or eight; between and
3, from seven to nine; between 3 and 4,
from eight to ten; between and 6, from
nine to eleven between and 3, from
twelve to fourteen; between ana IL, from
fourteen to sixteen waking hours. When
person is IS or 90 he needs not more than
eight hours sleep a day. unless his work
is very fatiguing. Those who are middle
aged need even less.
The position during sleep is responsible
for health. Inflammation of the right lung
is more common than of the left, because
of the habit of sleeping on the right side
One should change his position while
asleep. The best possible position in which
to sleep is face downward, as do the ami
mails.
It is worth recalling that Jeremy Taylor
allowed but three hours out of the twenty
four for sleep: Baxter. four; Wesley, six;
Lord Clarke and Sir William Jones, seven
1T is said that Bismarck and Gladstone,
now that they have reached an advanced
age, both sleep eight hours; lola sleeps
only seven hours. Many great men. such
as Goethe Mirabeau. Napolean and Hum
boldt. have given even less time to sleep.
Kant who only slept seven hours during
the greater part of his life. but in old age
was obliged to increase the amount, re-
garded the bed as the nest of disease, thus
anticipating the discoveries of later ply
siologists.

RATHER RETROSPECTIVE.

A charming woman of middle age re-
Gently voiced some interesting opinions.
''I have been young and now am OLD,
she said, land l have reached that perloa
of life when l can look back and see re-
suits and note how seldom those who are
horn with silver spoons in their mouths,
as the saying is, have the silver fork when
thew are grown up. When / look back and
remember who were the jeunesse doree OF
my youth-the men whose lives and posi-
lions above all others seemed particularly
enviable and desrable-and then look about
me and see how few of those days have
attained an honorable and useful middle
age, feel that can preach a sermon TO
my boys and their friends with object les
sons that ought to make it very impress
sive. Some are poor having spent health
and substance, like the prodigal, In riotous
living Even those who have apparently
not suffered in purse or health are set OF
disconnected, blase weary worldlngs, VINO
go over the same treadmill OF fasmonapie
existence year by year without pleasure or
profit.
"Another thing have noticed from my
vantage ground of lifelong experience is
that if only as a purely worldly maxim,
honesty is certainly the best policy. Many
q brilliant man have seen who has de-
stroyed. his prospects by the crooked ways
in which he sought TO better himself IMAM
cially, politically and even socially; where
as If he had walked honorably before all
men he would have gained the worlds good
opinion and in many instances the very
things he coveted. And, finally, there are
the young married couples of my youth.
In nine cases out of ten, those who married
poor young men and who gave up the
luxuries of their homes to prove veritable
helpmeets to the men of their choice are
now almost without exception prosperous.
and in many cases wealthy, while those
men and girls who married forumoney are
as rule, greatly in want OF II. be good
and you will be happy is the maxim, and
certainly it seems true from materialistic
as we'll as from a religious point of vicw."

For the Orphans

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
Sixty fatherless ones at the Orphans
home at Talladega are dependent on kind
friends in Alabama to give them merry
Christmas. They are all looking forward
with happy hearts TO a visit from old
Santa with no thought of the ''hard times
that trouble the officers. visions of sugar

have a suspicion that more substantial
visions Of barrels of -four sugar, molasses,

The subject of the Rev. j. B Sweets
sermon last evening i'm the Simpson
church was "Belshaz2ar's Feast" The
sermon was the last given in this pTes-
ent conference year and was preached
by special request. An audience of be-
tween eight and nine hundred persons
listened To this able and powerfully
given sermon. In his introduction, ne
spoke of the beauties, splendor and
magnifiCenCe of the City Of Babylon,
it's central position, the mecca of pow
ers, how it had conquered all other
known nations, and had destroyed Je-
rusalem and taken captive the Jews.

these things and much more lead us
hence. Oh! that We could see that the
great banquet of life is spread before

months. The reverend gentleman deepl"
appreciated the many acts Of kindness
extended to him during his Illness. and
he sincerely hoped to be soon able TO re-
sumo his abUrs among his congregation.
1t gave him great satisfaction 10 know
that although he had been stricken down
for four weary months, the church mad
so greatly prOspered and was never in
bette financial condition than it is at
the present. His text was taken from the

we see through glass, darlIly; but then
face to face; now | know in part, but then
shall | know even as also | am known
During the course of his sermon he

five senses, ana each one was limited.
