WHEN LAWYERS WE'RE SCARCE.
Curious FnctS Shown by Census of

Curious Facts Shown by Census Of
Those Who Practiced I'm 1920.
In the year 1920, under the authority
of the state of New York, an enumera-
ton of the lawyers entitled to practice
at the state or local courts was made
The regulations for admission to the
Sun, were simple and easy to comply
with. Nevertheless there were found to
be only three lawyers on Staten Island,
IL in Westchester, 60 in Albany, and As
in Onondaga. Monroe county had not
then attained the distinction which it
has had since the growth of Rochester
into a city and it had within it's borders
only II lawyers, while Columbia coun-
ty, which has since given to the bar of
the state many learned jurists, had 80,
and Duchess county SO. The people of
Long Island were even less inclined to
litigation then than they are now, for
i'll the whole of Suffolk county there
were six lawyers only, in Queens coun-
ty there were but two, and in Kings
county Gt is very different now there
were three only.
In Boone county there were five law
yers, in Greene 81, in Putnam three, in
Steuben 12, and in Tioga IA; but per-
haps the lawyer of that period who en-
joyed what might in these days be
called an easy snap was the one member
of the New York bar who resided in
Orleans county. After 1920 there was q
large increase of lawyers in New York
state and in 1894 they numbered 2,Os4.

Meg Martyr of London, night watch
man, says an exchange. She goes from
house to house armed with long bam-
boo rod. Upon the windows of her
customers she bangs until, as she puts
it: "They oilers an swear; then know
they're awake right enough" Steve
dores, dock laborers and factory hands
are her customers. Her little girl helps
her, and between them they earn about
% shillings week.
Meg used to work in rope factory
for the noble sum of "six an six" a
week for ten hours work day, which
being interpreted means weekly in
come of SLIGO. 1t is sum which does
not provide one with the comforts of
civilization, and, upon the advice of
leaders in the Women's union, Meg
stirred her associates up to demand
higher wages. The demand was re-
fused and the women went on strike
that lasted IS weeks in the dead of
winter. Then the employer gave in
and the women were allowed nine shill-
ings a weelc-$2.25.
But Meg was not permitted to enjoy
the fruits of her victory long. When
she knocked down a foreman for in
sulting her, her activity in leading the
strike was punished and she was dis
missed.
Now she is her own boss, but she. is

an authority on work and wages in her
district. She attends night school to
learn to read and write, in order that
she may more effectually help in the

Which she strongly believes.

A comedy for Unpleasant Dreams.

@After series of experiments on
myself and Others" ventured an ex-
perienced physician, Fl a convinced
that many annoying dreams and,
which in many instances, rob sleep of
much Of its recreation and benefit,
can be prevented, if persons will take
the trouble to do SO. There are
dreams which are produced by an
overloaded stomach and indigestion.
These can be prevented by not over
loading the stomach and taking care,
especially in the evening to not eat
that which experience has demon
strated is not easily digested. A fair
ly filed stomach is. however, less con-
ducive to dreams than an absolutely
empty one. l think can safely say
that il these persons who are troubled
much by dreaming, will wear extra
long sleeves to their night gowns,
they viii find remedy thereby. What
ls even better than long sleeves is to
put a rubber cord in the hem of the
sleeves so that they will not slip up
on the arm. Tho rubber cord should
not be tight enough to interfere any
way with the circulation of the blood
in the arms. but still tight enough to
keep the ends Of the sleeves down on
the wrist: To the bachelors and
others who cannot have their sleeves
properly arranged, the same effect
cal be secured by wearing a wristlet
on the wrist, or better yet to pull a
sock over the hands aud pin the leg
of 1t to the sleeves of the night gown
In addition to prevent dreams this
simple arrangement will be found
extremely comfortable during the
cold nights of the next couple OF
months. A little inquiry Will con-
vince any one that those whose wrists
and forearms are uncovered, are an
noyed most by dreams. The sock
used rs kind of an extended glove
will effectually stop them. but it must
be attached to the sleeve of the night
gown, otherwise the sleeve will work
up the arm and the desired effect LOST
My remedy in brief is, keep the hand,
wrist and forearm we'll covered

Experiments of an interesting nature
have lately been made at the instiga-
ton of the Prussian war office to en-
deavor to decide the question as to
whether the consumption of small
quantities of sugar renders the tired
muscles capable of renewed exertion.
In order to obtain practical result, the
person who was made the subject of the
experiment was kept totally ignorant
OF the object of the experimenters. On
one day, say, the New York Medical
Record, sweet liquor was admins
tered, containing 80 grams of sugar;
on the next day similar liquid, con-
tanning g. sufficient amount of sac
charine to render it indistinguishable
from the other as regarded taste. Aft
er a very large amount of muscular
work had been performed. it was found
that better results could be obtained on
the days when the sugar was given than
on the days when saccharine was given.
The blood had become very poor in
sugar In consequence of the severe
muscular effort, and the administra-
ton of comparatively small quantity
Of sugar had markedly invigorating
effect.

CarIae gie for Bryan.

Andrew Carnegie is beginning to
talk like a Bryanite. The Organism
that appeals to him is not the old
financial kind, but the new anti-expan-
sion heresy. Mr.. Carnegie said re-
Gently that he believed Bryan to be
the man that would save the country
from the danger of Imperialism.
Carnegie has been an anti-imperialist
Tor some time. He has contributed
ponderous and pompous articles to
the magazines in opposition to the
acquisition of territory. That was a
little in consistent in view of his own
practice in the way of expasiOn- He
was something OF d colonizer himself
when he bought castle and an estate
in Scotland and settled there. :
Bryan, as q presidential candidate
supported by Carnegie, would certain
ly not be pleasing to Bryan's old
friends in the popocratic party. Car
neg;e has been Of much service indi-
rectly as u Dislck baSG reauy -uAue
for populist orators to denounce. He
has been abused by them many times
for holding up the government for
$400 a ton for armor-plate, and then
accused of filing up the inside of the
armor with wind.
Bryan and Bailey, by reconstruct
ing democracy, may lose Morgan and
Wheeler. of Alabama, Fitzhugh Lee
and other democrats, but they will
gain Carl SchurZ. Grover Cleveland,
Hale, OF Maine; Edward Atkinson and

to make the exchange just as soon as
they like. dispatch.
