THE TRUTH ABOUT IT.
What Is the Use of Living if You Can't
 Be In fta

What Ia the Use of Living if You Can't
 Be In Tta
 Yes. Erastus. we have noticed that article in scientific journal advising people to sleep more in order to live long, and to tell you the truth we take but little stock in it. We notice that Tesla, the great electrician, claims that Q man might live to ha 200 years old if he would only sleep most of the time And suppose he should What would a man amount 10 sleeping like q fat dog in the summer For all practical pur- poses q man might as we'll be dead as to be asleep with this advantage in the way Of being dead-he isn't in any body's road.
 Suppose a man lived for 200 years and slept 160 ef 1t. He can only figure cut when the thing is through that he has really lived 10 years. and in that 10 he neither cats as much ice nor has half the fun the man has who passes in his cheeks at Go and cut Of the 60 has only slept % years. Is there any particular object, my boy, in simply lying round asleep for l50 years. wearing out bed clothes and saving a trife on funeral expenses? Ne think Eot. All there is ill life worth living for you get while you are awake. All the time you ought 10 spend asleep is 5as5 enough to enable you 10 keen awake fhe rest of the time.
 Sleep E necessary evil, just so much good time tha5 you have to give up 1T order to keep your stomach, liver a441 es..e4sr-. DE course we have read good deal about beautiful dreams, when angels hover overhead and all that, but our experi- enee Is that this talk is almost alto gether roe When you are in geod phys ical condition. you don t dream When yon dream, the angels aren't il that vicinity. It is when you ha7o filed your interior with fatted swine and boiled cabbage that you retire to sleep. perehanee to dream To drean-ayo, there is the rnb!-wheB you feel a four headed deg sitting upon your vitals and know that the horned and eleven tailed whangdoodle from the barren mount tains of Hepsidam is crawling upon you, breathing smoke and G1e, and you are paraly2ed or you seem all at once to find yourself in the midst of some gay and cultured assembly with no clothing on your person except perhaps a paper collar and . pair Of hose supporters and utterly unable to explain to the Indies and gentlemen present why you are there in this deeollete costume or to take your departure
 There is nothing angelic CT heavenly about tho average dream On the con- trary, tits hades aud repeat The young man who has to be routed out of bed at 9or 10 o'clock in the morning may live good while, but tho chances arc that he won't amount 10 as much il life as three legged dog ii jack rabbit chase. The proper thing, young fellow, is to sleep less and get q hump en your self. even if you should pass out before you arc 90. One year of life spent in knocking rich, ripe, luscious persim- mons is worth five sleeping in the shade with the worms crawling over your per son and the timber bugs trying to roll you out of their way.--Tom MoNeaI in Topeka Mail

AN evidence Of revival in trade and Of renewed interests in every line and ealing is found in the numerous voluntary eommaniea- tions from various towns. of the State to the newspapers, recounting the resumption of industrial aetiv ity, says the Arkansas Demoerot Nearly every little towa has some thing to say Of the push and energy being put forth just al this time by it's citizens New churches, new school houses, business houses and residences are being erected every where. Public roads, bridges and factories are being constructed in the more favored localities of the State. There is DO complaint of short crops, and the prospects are so good that better times are iney- itable, even with low prices on cot ton. h the face of these conditions the people have right 10 feel hope ful, and they are certainly exercis- ing that privilege. Their faces show it and their movements prove it.. The man who is continuously harp- ing about hard times now ought to be taken to one side by some good friend and told that he is missing 8 good opportunity to better his con dition hy rot fallino in line with the more progressive element.

Markets by . Telegraph.


Cotton Letter.
New York March "a break in prices
Of nearly thirty-five points Is the gradual
disappearance of the bullish sentiment are
the notable features of the week in cotton,
as, in the absence of anything approaching
speculative activity the brisk demand for
81 spot cotton from all quarters resulted last
week in a sharp rise here so this week the
slackenng in that demand has been very
potent in the decline. The political news
from Europe was not encouraging this
morning and Liverpool sent disappointing
cables reporting an advance of only one
sizty-fourth in that market. Prices here
opened lower, and with the exception of a
slight recovery of points Immediately af-
ter the opening due to some buying of the
latter months by commission houses, de-
clined steadily all day. May opened at 6.9o,
advanced to 6.9S, declined to 6.91. and closed
at 6.92d6.93, with the tone of the market
steady The situation is very mixed one.
and traders are much troubled to form in
teiligent opinions on the market. The war
clouds in the Levant. whether they prove
serious or not, have certainly been the lead
= ing factors in this weeks decline. The I'M
certainty as to whether war will result or
not. is almost as disturbing in its effects on
business as open hostilities would be, while
nearly every one holds the opinion that
some solution of the problem other than
an appeal to arms will be forthcoming.
every one fears that his opinion may be
wrong and curtais his financial ventures
so as to be as well prepared as possible
for whatever may occur. The movement of
o cotton has been far in excess of the expec-
tations of the bulls but the almost universal
belief that this has been due to the recent
heavy purchases by exporters and the mill
in the interior markets and that II has left
the sources of supply almost bare of cot
ton has robbed this factor of much of its
natural effect upon the market. There is
little doubt that with the least encourage
ment in the way of advancing markets the
mills of the world would again become ac-
tive buyers and on its merits cotton looks
cheap to us. There are so many possible
occurrences that would affect even these
low values adversely that we advise cau-
ton, but we still think that those who buy
upon good breaks will soon find an oppor
tunity to realize at higher prices.

Chicago Change.

Chicago, March 6.-Not quite as much ap-
prehension over the Eastern political ques-
ton was felt in the wheat market today as
yesterday A net loss of 1aGtSse. was quota
BILE at the close. Other matters We're, how
ever, very little in consideration and the de-
cline was due rather to the belief in peace
full solution of the Cretan affair than to any
bearish Interpretation of the statistical
news or to the wheat situation proper
May wheat opened from 763s to 76is, sold be-
tween 76s. and 76, closing at 76a76ls q76ll5@
769sc under yesterday. Cash wheat, 12c
lower.
Corn was steady the opening, however
being easy, partly through the influence ex-
erted by the quiet tone of the cables and
partly in sympathy with wheat May corn
opened at 241a, sold between that and 24A
closing at 24N, unchanged from yesterday
Cash corn was in good demand. The trade
in oats was light and the tone steady. The
same considerations which tended to re-
strain bullish ardor in wheat and corn were
effective in oats. May oats closed shade
under yesterday. Cash oats we're firm and
Nc. higher.
Provfsions-The run of hogs at the yards
this morning more than half the num-
Der expected An advance of 10 cents was
the result and product received stimulus
from those circumstances. May pork
closed a shade higher; May lard unchanged
and May lard 21ac higher
Leading futures ranged as follows:
