A writer in Italia Termalc is moi
much in favor of the theory that
late suppers are injurious. He de-
clares in fact that many persons
who remain thin and weakly in
spite of oil precautions in regard
to diet, etc, owe the fact largely to
habitual abstemiousness at night.
Physiology teaches US that, in
sleeping as in waking, there is a
perpetual waste going on in the
tissues of the body, and it seems
but logical that nourishment
should be continuous as we'll. The
digestion of the food taken On at
dinner time or in the early evening
is finished, as a usual thing, be-
lore or by bedtime, yet the activity
OF the processes of assimilation, etc.
continue for hours afterward; and
when one retires with an empty
stomach, the result Of this activity
is sleeplessness and an undue vast,
ing of the system.

James A. Garfield expressed
himself as follows re.
garding war; "The reply to war
is not words, but swords, Battles
are never the end Of war, for the
dead must be buried and the cost
of the conflict must be paid, After
the fire and blood of the battle-
fields have disappeared, nowhere
does war show its destroying power
so certainly and so relentlessly as
in the columns which represent
the taxes and expenditures of the
nation"

The people of the United States
are wealthy and have faith in the
government. These two facts are
shown in the report of the comp
troller of the currency, which states
that the individual deposits in the
national banks now aggregate more
than $2,0Oo,000,000, being the
largest amount ever reached in the
history of these institutions. This
statement does not take into ac-
count the deposits in state and
private banks, nor the immense
sum known to be held by savings
banks. When these are added the
wealth of the United States is seen
to be truly enormous.

A st. Louis physician, who is a
confirmed old bachelor, has started
out to reform the habit that obtains
Of dressing babies in long clothes.
He says that it is necessary for the
proper development Of babies that
they should have plenty Of leg
room in which to kick. The st.
Louis doctor is no doubt right.
This thing of beginning at the very
start in life to deprive free Am
erican citizen of the right to kick
is in violation of the principles Of
republican government, and should
have an end put to it.

A very easy way to account for
the first natives of the new world
is to adopt the theory that the ab-
origines came from Asia to Am
erica. The American museum OF
natural history willin short time
send expeditions TO visit and live
for a time among the tibe OF the
northwest corner of America. This
study of their modes of life and
comparison Of their implements
and skeletons will be carried
through at least ten tribes, ant
proofs of their descent from tribes
that came over Behring sea to thi
continent may, or may not, be es
tablished.

Before the house of representa-.
tlves at Washington assemblies
each day there is placed on the
speakers desk a box-shaped tray
of solid silver. Promptly after the
house adjourns it is taken back
again to the speakers room. 1t
contains three small bottles, one
for red ink, one for black ink, and
one for sand, such as was used in
the early days for drying lux. The
ink tray is part Of the furniture Of
the speakers room and has more
than ordinary interest, for it was
used by Henry Clay when he oc,
cupied the speakers chair.
