The sIecp of Plants,

Like animals al plants require In.
tervals of repose, during which the vi
tai functions are slowed down, and the
organic structures undergo repair.
Some plants repose during the rainy
season, Others during periods OF
drought, but while some plants sleep
during the cold or the comparatively
cold season Of the year, others again
take their rest when the average tenn
perature is high. 1t occurred to o
Norwegian observer to investigate the
sleep Of plants, more particularly with
the object Of shortening the period Of
repose, and this he claims to have at
tanned by subjecting the bulbs or buds
to the action Of cloroform vapor. He
asserts, indeed, that plants thus treat
ed subsequently develop more rapidly
than those whose repose has not been
intensified by the narcotic action Of
this drug, and the observation is not
without considerable interest.
ii his observations are trustworthy,
IL follows that sleep in plants is not
strictly comparable to that of animal
life, for we do not suppose that the
period allotted to sleep by animals
could advantageously be shortened by
the administration Of an anastbetic.
Sleep, on the other hand, is relative
rather than an absolute condition. It's
value as restorative depends in o
very marked degree on its intensity,
and certain individuals derive more
benefit and recuperate their iaded en-
ergies mere effectually in five or six
hours than others do after twice as
long. This reeuperatiye energy is as
serted to be an indication of high
standard of vitality, and common OBJ
servation certainly lends color to the
view that diminished recuperative
power is indicative of physiological
deterioration. London Medical Press.

-THs MARINERS SLEEP BY THE Sea-

The mariners slcop by the sea.
The wild wlhds come up by the sea,
II walls round the tower, and II blows
through the grasses,
1t scatters tho sand DER the graves whore II
passes,
And the sound and the scent OF the seq.
When at night there's seethlng OF surf,
The grandames look out DER the surf,
They reckon their dead and their long years
OF sadness,
And they shake their lean 1sts at the sea
and its madness.
And curse the white fangs OF the surf
But tho mariners sleep by the sea,
They hear not the sound OF the sea.
Nor the hum from the church where tho
psalm Is upllfted.
Nor the crying OF birds that above them are
drifted,
The mariners sleep by the sea.

the patient. grave and staid senators. IL
resolved that no candidate for United

dldates for United States senator be not
